THA THANG:
Run the distance of each hole of Royal Portrush with PAX choice exercise at the beginning of each hole.  When PAX complete the hole, they complete as many reps of the exercise as they can before the Six arrives.  If reps=par for the hole it counts as a birdie for the individual, if reps=2xPar it counts as an eagle.  Any hole that isn’t completed counts as a bogey.  As a group we completed the first 12 holes.

PAX Results:

These results are flawed because the PAX went for 50 minutes.  We believe that in the past we have gone for 55 minutes.  From now on this workout will be 55 minutes, beginning after a standard warm-o-rama of 10 SSH and 10 IST.  #Cobains to the PAX as this was completely YHC’s fault.

We’ll roll this back out in three months, and at that point we will use a 55 minute timer.  Be preparing.

Fun with Bear Crawls #MakeGlencoeFunAgain

PAX: Aaarrrggghhh, Sally, Pepper, Teasip, Icebox, Rump Roast, Tater Tot, Draper, Sex Panther, Oatmeal, Thunderlips, F150, Jazzy Jag (F3 Chattanooga), Bell Boy (FNG Jake Lewis), Capsize (FNG John Willems)

QIC: Alright Alright

16 PAX gathered in the gloom despite knowing that they would be faced with bear crawls.  It takes true #HighImpactMen to embrace the suck when you what is coming. 

We immediately moseyed to the tennis court with the goal of making Glencoe fun again.  YHC gave the disclaimer and we got started.

Warmorama

Side Straddle Hops x20

Imperial Storm Troopers x15

Ski Abs (EMPHASIS ON CORRECT FORM) x10

The Rump Decision

PAX must decide whether they will run 1/2 mile (they didn’t know that it would be a native american run) or do 50 burpees.  Rump was the only one that chose burpees.  He completed 67 in the time that we were gone.  That does not bode well for him the next time we do this.

Bearway to Heaven

Bear Crawl Suicides – crawl bear back from each line.

7 of the PAX finished. 9 did not.  

90 Penalty burpees for the group to split. 5 each and then an addiitonal burpee for each of the finishers. One more for Rump, YHC and Pepper.

Team BLIMPS – with bear crawls

Partner up.

Partner 1: exercise; Partner 2: bear crawl across both courts and back; flapjack and repeato.  10% rep addition if bear crawl is modified.

Burpees x50

Lunges x100

Imperial Storm Troopers x150

Merkins x200

Plank Jacks x250

Squats x300

YHC doesn’t think anyone completed the merkin stage.

Circle of Trust

YHC reminded the PAX that F3 is not tied to one particular faith. Then prayed that we would all be leaders in our community.

Naked Man Moleskin

Lots of midwife noises throughout this beatdown.  Bear crawls always bring that out if the distance is long enough.

YHC had a classic voice crack during the warmorama that did not go unnoticed by the PAX.  

Hopefully the PAX learned that bear crawls are full body exercises and felt the pain for multiple days afterwards. Teasip said we did 1.25 miles of Bear Crawls.

This was the last time Sex Panther and I could #clowncar to a workout, so we commemorated with a picture.

FNG Jake Lewis works for Hilton Hotels, so we named him Bell Boy.

FNG John Willems rowed in high school and college, so we named him Capsize.

YHC is always appreciative of good attendance, but especially when YHC Q’s.  Thank you gentlemen for being out there. 

Special #Tclaps to Tater Tot and Sally for bringing our FNGs. And to Jazzy Jag for joining us during his week of travel.

-Leg thrusts x10, x9, x8, etc.

-Merkins x10, x9, x8, etc.

-Leg thrusts x10, x9, x8, etc.

 

PAX split into pairs. One PAX on each team started with 10 reps of each deconstructed burpee exercise while his partner bear crawled across the tennis court. Once the first PAX completed the deconstructed burpee, he ran to his partner and took over on the bear crawl route. The second PAX would then run back to the starting position to do his 10 reps of deconstructed burpees, then run back to his partner to again take over the bear crawl route. Repeato, except each PAX decreased reps by 1 each time he went back to deconstructed burpees, until they completed the workout by doing 1 rep of each.

 

DECK OF DEATH:

Diamonds = Merkins.

Hearts = SSH.

Spades = Squats.

Clubs = Lunges.

Jokers = 10 burpees.

 

PAX arranged into different pairs. PAX took turns flipping over a card from their respective decks. PAX would then do the amount of reps depending on the suit/value of the card until all cards had been flipped.

 

MARY:

LBC x 20 IC

Pickle Pounders x 20 IC

Freddy Mercury x 20 IC

 

CIRCLE OF TRUST: PAX talked about Silicon’s travel plans next week, and inquired about other North Dallas PAX that were missing from the workout.

 

MOLESKIN: good Mumblechatter this morning as PAX got to know Q. PAX attributed Q’s energy to his recent nuptials. Mookie and Q learned that they work near each other and made lunch plans the following week. PAX are excited about the momentum of Plano F3.

…Ruck Monday

#backblast
PAX: Icebox, Coach K
QIC: Ant Man

Good ruck this morning. Sorry for the late backblast, the Band website is now banned at work… some of this backblast is based on true events.

We went 2.36 miles in 41 minutes. No mutts today so we are getting the cold nose from them. Coach K had to endure some talk about nannies between Icebox and I. Vanderbilt looks like they might lose their College World Series game tonight so Coach K might be in good spirits tomorrow. We made fun of Camp Gladiator some for cancelling their workout and I thought it would be nice to invite a girl who showed up to CG to workout with us. Sally quickly shot that down and reminded us of the 4 (or 5?) tenants of F3.

This is VQ week. Be there!
