MOLESKIN:

YHC started this morning heading to Germany reminiscing with Bleep and Lil Smokey about the Rumpdown yesterday. YHC was curious what his day 2 workout was going to consist of. After waiting an extra minute YHC decided to start the beatdown in hopes of Rump Roast showing up. No Rump Roast today but we continued on. Ended up being a fun and challenging beatdown. Most of the mumblechatter consisted of how much Rump Roast is going to catch today for not showing up to his own Q. Bleep was excited to commence on Rump Roast so we shall see how that plays out. Great to have Sound Machine back out! We might have to find a new parking lot to workout in because they empty the PortaJon’s around 0545…just in time for a sweaty PAX beatdown on the southside lot.

PAX: Alright Alright, Draper, Plus One, Teasip, B Cup, Oatmeal, F150, Slushii, Sex Panther, Rump Roast, Shifty McCoy, Special Sauce
QIC: PowPow

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
During Name-O-Rama Alright Alright went around the circle handing out F3 Dallas business cards to every PAX. YHC explained that we started the workout by spelling out “MISSION” and then recited F3’s mission out loud for the PAX. The business cards are about EHing other men and EHing is essential to the MISSION. F3 is unique because of the five core principles, we’ve got something that ALL men need, but most men don’t have in their lives. YHC prayed us out by reciting the five core principles and exhorting each PAX to go out and #GiveItAway.

MOLESKIN:
Slushii, Bleep and Pepper gave the HC but were nowhere to be found at 0530 . Yeah, I am calling you out in the backblast, sorry!  While Sex Panther, crafty as he is, dropped the lowest risk HC ever – he HCed on Band 20 minutes before the workout started, presumably while driving to the AO.

Slushii actually showed up! He was just 15 minutes late. We were not hard to find and glad you made it out brother, better late than never! Rump Roast offered up a moderate amount of his “signature feedback”, no F-bombs that I recall, maybe a “PowPow you suck” or two. YHC’s first attempt to demonstrate form on the SLDs was a fail, completely rounded back.  Alright Alright helpfully corrected Draper’s form by shouting at the Q, “Draper’s doing it like a Claymaker, is that right?” Man, lunge-walking with a coupon is tough! There will be more of that in YHCs future Qs.

Great to see Sex Panther back in the gloom after a few weeks off in California. Alright Alright wore a weight vest with 8 lbs, getting ready for GrowRuck (Tclaps!), and this momentarily took him into full beast mode – he rage-smashed his coupon on the ground after the 2nd round of lunge walks.  Fortunately, YHC brought a spare and so Alright Alright did not go miss anything during Mary.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Happy Hour on 7/24/20 in PowPow’s front yard. Starts at 1730
2. GrowRuck Alamo in San Antonio on September 19 – Sign up now!
3. F3 Nation 10 year anniversary – January 2021 in Cape Fear, North Carolina. Sign ups are open now with discounted pricing!

Some mumblechatter about the music choices. Good to keep variety in the music to dull the pain of the coupon work. Great COT/BOM at the end – GIVE IT AWAY. Everyone. Go out there and be a better man and watch it spread. Great continual showings from the FNG’s that were brought out last week.

The Seven Levels of the Candy Cane Garage

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, Bleep, Chairman Mao, Icebox, Plus One, Rump Roast, Sex Panther, Shifty McCoy
QIC: Teasip

AO: Burleson Garage (Omaha from Glencoe with the storms)
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20, IST x17, Windmill x10

THA THANG:
With the storm, YHC was forced to Omaha to the Burleson parking garage for a modified beatdown from what YHC originally planned. 

Start with 12 merkins, then alternate running and back pedaling up the ramps to the last covered one.

OH Press x20 at the top, then run/back pedal back down. Followed that with a ramp suicide (run to the far parking space line and run back and keep going until you touch every line on the ramp).

Followed that up with Squats x15 and Bear Crawl up 4 ramps, then shuffle down the ramps.

Burpees x12 and WW1 Sit ups x15 OYO once we got back to the bottom. Followed by Crawl Bear up 4 ramps which was quite the crowd pleaser. Shuffle back down the ramps.

Finish up with lunge walk up one ramps, backwards lunge up another, The Bird x20 and Mountain Climbers x10 before moseying back down for 3 MoM

MARY:
Uptown Crunch x12, Rugby sit ups x15

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.

MOLESKIN:
YHC woke up to a text from AA concerned about lightning. YHC didn’t see any while getting ready, so wasn’t concerned about the impending storm. Until YHC started driving, then decided that yes lightning was everywhere and Omaha’d to the Burleson parking garage. Sex Panther confirmed we couldn’t get into the garage but I think several of the PAX had already figured that out. During the windmills, it was noticed that YHC had a much slower count than Plus One who said that the Windmill is obviously a cardio workout. There wasn’t much grumbling until the Crawl Bears which got several groans and death glares from the PAX. Rumor has it Shifty McCoy splashed merlot to which Rump said YHC should feel terrible about. But YHC has no time for feelings or sympathy at that time of the day. Overall a good beatdown and a fun Omaha in the sweatbox.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. GrowRuck Sign up is live. Check out band for details.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:

F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x15, IST x15, Vegetable Picker x10

THA THANG:
Mosey to the trail. Run a quarter mile, then 10 Merkins and 15 OH Press 

Run another quarter mile, followed by the Teasip second quarter special (Irkins and Derkins), followed by 15 LBCs

Partner 1 then continues bear crawling while Partner 2 runs to the next quarter mile and back. Keep switching until you finish bear crawling the full quarter mile.

Mosey to the benches for Dips x12. Then quarter mile runs back with the following pain stations: 

15 Rugby Sit ups OYO

Uptown crunch x12 both sides and 10 diamond merkins.

Mosey back to La Madeline for Merkin ring of fire to 50. 

MARY:
Done during the workout

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out. Alright Alright proposed an idea of starting every workout with a Merkin Ring of Fire so guys can get familiar with each others names.

MOLESKIN:
Small group this morning, which was a shame cuz the no shows missed out on some great Trail running weather. Alright Alright informed us that Pepper did his best politician impersonation by promising to have a perfect rest of the week starting today, but alas he was a no show. Maybe he’ll HC again for tomorrow? AA said Pepper promised him Canes if he didn’t show, so we’ll see if Pepper will pay up. Everyone was pretty sore from either the Harbor yesterday (even Sally with his half post yesterday) so YHC tried to hit the upper body hard. This was confirmed by AA saying this was the heaviest upper body Trail day (Mustang nonwithstanding). Overall, a solid beatdown enjoying probably the last good weather day until October.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Happy Hour tomorrow at 1730 at Oatmeal’s. Check the details and RSVP

Icebox Birthday Beatdown – Take 3

#backblast

Bleep AlrightAlright Sally Sex Panther Oatmeal F150 Life Alert Slushii Teasip Royal Flush, and Dr. Oz (FNG) joined YHC for his 3rd annual bday beatdown

Sex Panther, Dr. Oz, and YHC thought this was going to be a 3 man weave but per usual the Glencoe Caravan rolled in at 0529 with the rest of the PAX doing their best Rump Roast impression coming in HOT

AlrightAlright immediately asked if we were going to be rolling around the ant hills of Glencoe since he wanted to Chippendale, I replied his backside was safe and proclaimed myself one of 3 PAX who knows how to handle the elements of Glencoe (the most finicky of AO’s…I’ll let y’all guess who the other two are 🤣)

After a quick warm up we completed a burpee mile where we added mine and Slushii’s bday burpees:

1/4 mile, 17 burpees
1/4 mile, 17 burpees
1/4 mile, 17 burpees,
1/4 mile, 17 burpees

That’s a total of 68 for the non math majors out there

Quick mosey to the tennis court for a ring of fire, 30 seconds of an exercise, 36 times, no breaks. Exercises included the following:

Arm circles forward (twice)
Arm circles backward (twice)
Burpees
One leg burpees
Tony Hawk burpees
LBCs
Flutter Kicks
Freddy Mercury’s
Penguin Crunch
Box Cutters
Squats
Bobby Hurley Squats
Merkins
T Merkins
Superman’s
SSH’s
IST’s
Overhead Press
Overhead Claps (twice)
Wide Grip Merkins
Missing a handful but y’all get the point

Had a few minutes left so we did some sprints across the two tennis courts and back

Thanks all for coming out, a lot of fun to have y’all join!

Four corners of GO BLIMPS

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Draper, Oatmeal, Pepper, Sally, Sex Panther, Siesta and Amelia (FNG Brad Trosclair)
QIC: PowPow

AO: Burleson Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSHx15, ISTx10

THA THANG:

Three PAX (Draper, Oatmeal and AlrightAlright) volunteered in advance to help lead the workout. We divided into 4 teams, the team captains were these three PAX and YHC. Each team was named after one of the five core principles of F3. 

Mosey to quad by Dallas Hall. Each team occupied a “base” at one of the four points of the diamond-shaped set of pathways that surround the fountain of the quad – (1) at the time capsule in front of Dallas Hall; (2) end of path that runs SW from base 1; (3) end of path that runs SE from base 2 (ie south end of quad over towards the flagpole); (4) end of path that runs northeast from base 3.

Every 5 minutes minutes each team runs a lap around the bases (approx. 400m) and then when back to their home base performs AMRAP of an exercise. At the 5 minute mark, run another lap and move to the next exercise on the list.

Exercises: Groiners, OH Claps, Burpees, Lunges, ISTs, HR Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats  (GOBLIMPS)

At 0745 the squats were completed and the four teams met for some PAX-choise Mary at the fountain.

Mosey to the benches in front of the Airline garage. On benches: Derkinsx20, Dipsx20, Irkinsx20, Step Upsx20 each leg

MARY:
Also some mary back at Burleson. Best as I can remember we did LBCs, Heels to Heaven, Freddie Mercury and Crab Cakes,

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Amelia was given his name because he is a pilot.  Underrated joke that he dropped when AlrightAlright asked where he went to college “Just a small trade school in Maryland.” (Meaning the Naval Academy).  As a result he was almost named “Cadet”.

Thanks to all the HIMs who posted for the workout, conditions were unpleasant but YHC had a blast leading the group today.

MOLESKIN:
The team captains recorded the total reps performed by their team in each round (much easier said then done given the light rain coming down). “Open to all men” (Oatmeal and Siesta) came in first place, followed by team “Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold” (AlrightAlright and Sally). After that I believe third place was “Always Free” (Amelia, Pepper and YHC) followed by “Peer Led” (Draper and Sex Panther).  Tclaps to Oatmeal and Siesta!

The Last Dance (Beatdown?)

#backblast  5/19/20

AlrightAlright Teasip Amelia PowPow F150 Sex Panther Rump Roast and Shifty McCoy joined YHC for a Last Dance themed beatdown, here’s the thang

Warmed up to the Bulls pregame intro song, SSH and IST’s (23 of each)

First 3 Peat:
Go “DJ” – hold overhead, press with “DJ” (45)

House “Party” – hold goblet squat, curl “party” (75)

“Burn” up the dance – Freddy Mercury’s while holding coupon, bench press with “burn” (76)

Second 3 Peat

PAX ran a lap around the park, spread out start time by 10 seconds each, while waiting to run and while PAX completed the run completed sets of BLIMPS (burpee, lunge, IST, merkin, plank jack, and squat

Did lap/BLIMP combo two more times

Finished with a ring of fire, hold legs 6 inches + flutter kick, went to 91

PAX was welcomed this AM with me rocking my “real men wear red” Bulls tank,
Morning observations:
Rump Roast didn’t know what the Last Dance was, contemplating our friendship, Teasip is real close to hiring me as his wedding DJ after throwing these hits out, PowPow has the sweetest quarantine beard I’ve seen so far, AlrightAlright still has a Starbucky tailbone

Per Pow’s post, I’m leading again this Thursday at Lindsley Park, will be hitting up the Sante Fe Trail and a hill I found

Santa Fe Trail/Hill

#backblast 5/21/20

AlrightAlright and Oatmeal joined YHC for a Sante Fe Trail/Hill beat down

Here’s the thang:

Warmup with SSH’s, IST’s, and daisy pickers

Mosey’d to the Sante Fe Trailhead at Lindsley Park
Ran 1/2 mile east to the Grand Ave bridge
Jacobs ladder up the grassy knoll to Grand Ave, monkey humpers and IST’s
Ran another 1/2 mile east (downgraded slope)
15 overhead presses (so I could catch my breath)
Ran 1/2 west (upward slope)
Jacobs ladder up the other side of the hill, squats and overhead claps
Ran 1/2 mile west back to the Lindsley Park trailhead
Mosey to the park
10 irkins/10 dirkin’s, 3X
Mary with rosalita’s, LBC’s, Freddy Mercury’s, and plank

Small crowd today, maybe PAX were intimidated by the word “hill” in the preblast

Oatmeal and AlrightAlright pushed me real good today, while I was “leading” I would not have been able to get through the second round of Jacob’s Ladder if it weren’t for them, I was sucking wind pretty good

Quads are going to hurt tomorrow, hope the next couple days aren’t #legdays

Great morning to be out, look forward to seeing y’all soon!
