CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC thanked the PAX for being there with him these last 3.5 (or 4.5, YHC can never remember) years with F3 and the improvement YHC has made in fitness (tummy fat loss) and general manhood. YHC would not be where he is today, about to marry the woman of his dreams without F3. Thank you

MOLESKIN:
The jokes were funny and frequent of course. Several PAX mentioned YHC should only need about 3 reps of pickle pounders for the big night and there were probably wasn’t a need for any other type of exercise. During the Apple turnover, YHC mentioned to stop at second base, to which Sally and Draper responded “no now you can go all the way to home base” and the continuation of bases reached was asked to which YHC had no response. Draper requested I note these for the backblast, so feel free to comment if I missed some jokes. When lunges were announced, Draper had some not kind words for Oatmeal after their EC was apparently heavy on the legs with them carrying their coupon and ruck for over 2.5 miles. So #tclaps to them and PowPow (who had to leave early) for doing the EC. There was a heavy dose of Rump F-bombs today, which YHC always likes to hear since it means the workout is tough. The Double Merkin Burpees produced quite the groaning, as well as the burpee suicide. YHC appreciated everyone coming out to show support as YHC bids adieu to the single life.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Siesta VQ next Saturday, 8/22 at 0700. Come out and support him!
2. 2.0 workout to follow at 0900, should be about 30 minutes.
3. GrowRuck SA has been moved to the weekend of April 9-10

“The Coach K'”

Date: 08/132020
Temp: 82°  
Weather: Clear morning sky, but humid and hot AF!

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX: Jazzercise, Slushii, Bleep, Froggy, Classified, & Splash
QIC: Rump Roast 

AO: Burleson Park

Disclaimer: Given 

Intro/ Warm-o-Rama:
Mosey to the Track

The Thang:
Pax didn’t know Oatmeal and I planed a KTT 2ndCT convergence!
Partner up – Partner #1 runs 200m while Pax #2 does max Burpees… That’s all
Ar 0600 we decided to leave Oatmeal & Sound Machine to it and moseyed back to Burleson Stopping about every 75yrs, where each PAX called an exercise. 
Slushii – J-Lo’s (Imagine that)
Rump Roast – 10x Erlins + 10x Derkins (IC, SC)
Bleep – 20x IST’s in Mach Turbo Speed!!! (IC, DC)
Classified – 10x Squats (DC)
Froggy 15x Hill Billies (IC, DC)
 

Playlist:
No music this morning 

 
Moleskin: 
When YHC starts the warm-up with a mosey it raises eyebrows… When I took a left at the stop sign there was immediate feeling of seriousness. Then Slushii tried to break it up by asking me if I was lost?!?! I just continued to mosey to the track. Oatmeal & I had texted the evening before about meeting at the gate we “usually” go in from Burleson. We talked about the “Boulevard” being the backup location.  We got in at the opposite end by the stadium and without the KTT gang started with “The Coach K” which started with Coach texting me this workout and saying “I thought about you the whole time, Rump”… I felt compelled to share the beatdown and a little bit of Coach K whom we all miss so much. I heard plenty of grumbling and I may have dropped a few F-Bombs myself! Overall it was a great beatdown. We made 4x laps around the track plus the run there and back. While not a KTT, I thought it was pretty respectable.
 
Announcements:  
Chairman’s walk next Saturday 22 Aug
2.0 workout, also 22 Aug. 0900 @ Burleson (Slushii is heading this up)
GroRuck update coming soon

MOLESKIN:
With Brooks not showing up on Sunday, YHC decided to go heavy on the running. YHC was originally going to do the Suicide Special, but decided to modify it with coupons and football field. Special Sauce and a few others were curious if we were going to repeat the Bill Murray Caddyshak/Groundhog Day workout, but quickly found that was not the case. Rump was none to pleased and let YHC know it early and often. Overall a solid turnout and YHC was happy to have so many post in the Gloom. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Ultra is rucking to raise  money for Doctors Without Borders in their support of Beirut this Wednesday starting at 1800 and going to midnight. Come join him for all or some of it and donate.

Katy Trail 8/6

PAX: Plus One, Alright Alright, Rump Roast, Shifty McCoy, Ultra, Sound Machine, Bcup, AAARRRGGGHHH

Run back and forth across the bridge.

On the north side of the bridge do 4x squat to IST combo

Mosey back to La Madeline

Mary

Flutter Kicks till time

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: YHC gave props to @rumproast and @Ultra for going out of their comfort zone and showing up for a running workout.  YHC then asked the PAX to follow that lead and push ourselves to do things we normally shy away from.  If you don’t like running, go run.  If you hate bear crawls, do bear crawls.  Keep this mentality in all aspects of your life not just fitness.

MOLESKIN: YHC wanted to try and stick to the golf theme of the week but doesn’t know much about golf.  The exercises were done in 4’s for a par 4, and the combo’s were inspired by the Arnold palmer (the drink).

PAX: Alright Alright, B Cup ,Chairman Mao, Gold Digger, Teasip
QIC: PowPow

AO: La Madeline (launch point)
Date: 7/20/20
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
ISTs and SSHs

THA THANG:
Mosey to the North end of Mockingbird Bridge, which is station #1.  Station #2 is the South end of the bridge. Station #3 is the Northwest corner of Glencoe Park and Station #4 is the Southeast corner of Glencoe.

The workout was to do the exercises above at the station and then run at typical Katy Trail interval pace to the next station, then do those exercises….repeato etc.

Station order: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 3 / 1 / 4

On the second station 4 we only ran to station 3 (due to time), but did the full station 4 exercises then interval pace/all you got back to station 2 and then from there mosey back to La Madeline with time for 5 more burpees.

MOLESKIN:
This was a fun one.  Due to the delinquency of this backblast YHC doesn’t recall much of the mummblechatter. The escalating nature of the exercises was cribbed from a Rump Roast workout a few day earlier.

Club Rehab, #Beachbod Edition

#backblast 8/6

Slushii Lil Smokey and Bleep joined YHC for another rendition of #clubrehab

EC?:
At 0524 YHC was alone wondering if the Ultra and Rump Roast HC’s for KTT were going to mean a solo workout, the SMU police stopped by the Jeep to see what was going on, apparently someone sitting in a car at that time without lights on is suspicious…YHC talked to the officer about what I was doing, but missed the EH opp as let’s face it, not really used to talking to cops that early in the AM but Slushii gave me a hard time for not putting on the press when I told him the story, next time I’ll give him a business card

The thang:
Warmup
SSH (YHC pretty pumped to be able to do those again!)
IST

Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM), 4 min
10 merkins, 10 Superman’s, 10 mountain climbers

As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP), 3 minutes
10 L cheek rugby sit-ups, 10 regular rugby sit-ups, 10 R cheek rugby sit-ups (AlrightAlright would have been pissed with that much tailbone friction)

EMOM, 5 minutes
10 right plank hip raises, 10 left plank hip raises, 10 dry docks

AMRAP, 4 minutes
10 squat jumps, 5 L leg dead lifts, 5 R leg dead lifts

3 minutes of arms “toning”

EMOM, 5 minutes
10 merkins, 10 Superman’s, 10 mountain climbers

AMRAP, 4 minutes
10 L cheek rugby sit-ups, 10 regular rugby sit-ups, 10 R cheek rugby sit-ups

EMOM, 4 minutes
10 right plank hip raises, 10 left plank hip raises, 10 dry docks

4 minutes of arms toning

Round robin of more shoulders per Bleep legs per Lil Smokey and more arms toning per Slushii

Keeping up the golf theme, the minutes for each circuit correspond with the par for the front 9 of Tenison Highlands

Decent mumblechatter since there wasn’t a ton of counting, always great to catch up with my #clubrehab crew and look forward to getting back into the routine in a couple weeks hopefully!

Moleskin:
OK, so maybe it was more “Ground Hog Day” than “Caddyshack” but, again, my knowledge of golf is limited at best! It seemed like a good idea last night. I think everyone heard that the warm-up exercises this morning were suggested golf exercises – The internet never lies… Right?
I noticed Bleep didn’t have a whole lot to say this morning. I believe @Ultra called me an A$$hole the first round across, @Special Sauce told me he was thinking about faking having to take a dump for the first time ever at an F3 workout, @Double Pain told me that he’d forgotten what round he was on reinforcing the “Ground Hog Day” movie comparison. It was a pretty epic beatdown. 
#acceleration #isi #giveitaway

Grow Ruck – sign up soon 
@Ultra trucking white Rock Lake for 6hrs next Wednesday – dets to follow

Q: Alright Alright
AO: Germany Park

Side Straddle Hops x48 (major crowd pleaser)
Imperial Storm Troopers x15
Ring of Fire Nameorama Merkins
Burpees x12
Native American Run around track

Tha Thang:
Jacobs Ladder: Kraken Burpees 1:6, run the LENGTH of the field, Bonnie Blairs 6:1
Burpees x12
Dora: 100 Merkins, 200 Monkey Humpers (lots of reminders of the rules), 300 Flutter Kicks
Mosey…. and we’re done.

We ran out of time before getting to complete the rest of Splash’s birthday burpees so the PAX were sent home with homework.

Thank you to Plus One for introducing us to Kraken Burpees.

Aaarrrggghhh reminded me multiple times of my rule of no more than 10 monkey humpers at a time. That was definitely a tough portion of the workout.

Ultra and others gave me a hard time for throwing down that beatdown with an FNG present, but Fair Weather more than held his own.

No complaints about missing Mary because the 300 flutter kicks pretty much covered it.

We’ve now hit double digits 8 days in a row. Let’s keep the streak alive tomorrow.
