Sandbags & Coupons

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: DFib, TikTok, Rump Roast, Sound Machine, Chairman Mao, Jobu, Shifty McCoy, Phelps, Siesta, Plus One, Big Tex

QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Burleson Park

F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 9 IC

Stop x5 penalty burpees for not being “in cadence”

SSH  x10 IC

Squats x10 IC

Little Orphan Annies x10 IC

THA THANG:

Count off by 4’s and split into three teams.  Each man took his coupon and each team grabbed a sandbag from YHC’s trunk.  Sandbad must not touch the ground throughout the workout.

Mosey to the Pit of Dispair carrying coupons and sandbag.  Teams getting there first get rest.  Team in the six gets no rest.  

Modified DORA in the pit.  Each PAX must complete the following:

  • x50 merkins
  • x100 squats with coupons
  • x150 flutter kicks with coupons

Teammates rotated through following until exercises above are completed by each PAX:

  • Box jumps up big steps
  • Wall sit with sandbag
  • Cusak run up and down small stairs

Mosey to Turner Quad around the corner to commence a team crab walk relay with sandbag on the belly.  Each team makes one lap with sandbag trading as necessary while other team members alternate lunge walks and Cusak walks around circle.

Mosey back to park

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.  Extolled the virtues of Shield Lock groups and gave some other inspiring soliloquy that would have gotten an eyeroll or two from Icebox if he was in attendance.   PAX bolted quickly to grab Bubba’s before many returned for the 2.0 workout.

MOLESKIN:

Mumblechatter was varied.  There was a ‘new and improved’ (???) Rump Roast present.  While he did refer to YHC several times as Cadre Oatmeal for the GrowRuck approach to the workout, I never got an ‘F*** You,’ only a “This is great, we should do more workouts like this again!’  This almost caused YHC to grab his block and go home in disgrace and shame.  Overall some complaints, but the PAX were resilient and showed great toughness.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Carry the Load Memorial Day Event: May 30, noon – May 31, 13:30
  • 2.0 workout following at 0900
  • McKinney workout May 15, May 22 @ 0700, Bonnie Wenk Park

Dual QOTY for Retail Therapy

Hey Dirtbag hold my beer real quick…

Special Sauce Trash Panda Stingray Stingray Meatball Slushii Rump Roast Draper sound machine DFib Jobu Sex Panther Bleep Phelps (Tim) Noah “Don’t Call me Baby Shark” Phelps, Shifty McCoy, and Sally joined AlrightAlright and YHC for the first ever Dual QOTY beatdown

Warmup:
SSH, ISTs, Veggie Pickers

The Thang (alternating Q’s with every other song)
AlrightAlright took us up to rock out with our Camp Gladiator friends to flex our muscles and intimidate them with our EDM beats

Then I ran us to one of the parking decks and stopped us on an incline for some Mary to work on the lower core

AlrightAlright made us do some spider man push ups and and mountain climbers…Draper and other PAX showed some genuine concern about “just” holding a plank for a bit and were disappointed that planking was the exercise we were doing

OG Icebox Alert!
Listening to Baby Shark, SSH with burpees every time they said “Shark” (basically two minutes of burpees)

AlrightAlright ran us up to the top of the parking deck and had us doing bear crawl suicides

Because YHC is a sadist we followed that up with a few minutes of Arms by Mrs Icebox

AlrightAlright wasn’t done bear crawling so we had to bear crawl down a flight of stairs and followed that up with some irkins

YHC then went for a mosey to a different parking deck and was disappointed in the lack of hustle by the PAX so started to burpee, even more confusion by the PAX as I’ve never instituted the burpee rule during a Q which led to 21 burpees once the 6 was in (would’ve been 40 if AlrightAlright had been doing the burpees)

AlrightAlright took a page of of the DJ Icebox instruction manual and had us mosey to a big stairwell for Mony Mony dips (listening to Billy Idol’s Mony Mony, hold a back plank and do a dip every time they say “Mony”)…Jobu asked how many that was and I promised I’d do a real OG workout where I count out the number of reps for each song

AlrightAlright then took us back where we started to roll around and do merkins on ant hills (clearly his tolerance for ant bites is greater than his disdain for doing core exercises on concrete)

Someone must have said something because AlrightAlright used some words my playlist wasn’t allowed to use and made us run around Starbucks, taunting us with what we could be doing instead of working out

YHC then rocked out with 4 more minutes of Mary on the ant hills since we were already contaminated

Announcements:

Draper is kicking us off of Band 6/1 so Teasip doesnt have to repost my backblasts on the website

2.0 workout 5-8, bring the kiddos out and give the M’s a break on Mother’s Day weekend!

Lots of mumblechatter this morning around the soreness from IPC. Didn’t hit many F’s on the Rump scale so must have been a fairly simple workout. Bleep was working on Sound Machine on his ABC’s (Always Be Closing for the non sales guys). Rump Roast made some comments about them not counting and maybe we should workout harder. Sound Machine was giving some good advice on “how to become an efficient runner” which we were all taking note of.

Murph Alert!

#backblast #murphaltert!

Sex Panther F150 Slushii Bleep Island Time Classified Jazzercise Rump Roast Shifty McCoy joined YHC for some Second Choice Thursday action

To prepare for this AM YHC asked Rump Roast last night what he wanted to work on and he said he was looking for a leg day. YHC thought hard about that and thought that a modified Murph would be able to get the job done

Warm Up
SSH, ISTs, Daisy Pickers

The Thang
4 laps around Burleson Park (a little debate about that being further than a mile, which it probably is, but it was my Q so thats what we did)

100 lunges (double count)
200 merkins
300 squats

4 laps around the park

maybe it was the debate on distance, maybe it was the long warmup, maybe it was because 2 lunges take longer to complete than 1 pullup, maybe it was because 4 laps was really was longer than a mile, but no PAX completed the modified Murph

I let Rump pick the first 30 minutes of music (rap, because what else does Rump listen to?) but after a song with particularly explicit lyrics I switched it up to Beach Music (aka a shitty version of Motown) for the last 15, was a huge motivator for me to finish reps and get back to running.

thankful to be back at it with y’all!

Announcements: Q Source and meats today at 1230 at the Meat Shop
Possible 2nd F tomorrow at Oatmeals
F3 Golf 10/3 or 10/10, best to block both days with the M so you can play twice in a month (or am I the only one who has to do that?)

There was some relief when YHC announced there would be no rifle carry or squat thrusters during the beatdown after all the fun of IronPax last week. Shifty defended his dad’s honor by telling Bleep to “can it old man” which got some chuckles. Overall, a good time had at the beat down and hopefully it didn’t destroy anyone for IronPax tomorrow.

#backblast Burleson 8/22. Siesta VQ

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:

PAX: Isaiah, Island Time, Shifty McCoy, Rump Roast, Chairman Mao, Oatmeal, sound machine, Draper, PowPow, Plus One, Fluoride, Whoops, Classified, DFib

AO: Burleson

F3 WELCOME AND DISCLAIMER: given

WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH x 17 IC

IST x 17 IC

Windmill x 10 IC

Indian run across the park (2 full laps)

THA THANG:

16 burpees (the goal was to complete 46 overall, but some things got in my way)

Mosey to the track field (supposedly it was opened)

Stop to grab some benches on our way there for 46 reps overall:

16 box jumps

15 side lunges (left leg)

15 side lunges (right leg)

F3 relays

Once we got to the track filed it was closed –> crap!! :-(. But siesta got a plan B, doing the same F3 relays on the quad. 

The idea was to make teams of 3/4 PAX, spread out evenly around the track at four stations, each station with an assigned exercise, then run between stations as in a relay race. After some confusion, Chairman Mao and Oatmeal step up to clarify directions and we were able to complete 2 full laps.

Station 1 – Monkey Humpers (nobody seemed to like those)

Station 2 – Merkins

Station 3 – Carolina Dry Docks

Station 4 – Overhead Claps

Hopefully, this idea will work better when the track field is opened back.

Mosey back to the playground with a stop for:

8 Durkins

16 deeps

Mary

16 Rosalita

No time for more, but at least I had time for some bilingual counting.

We still owe 30 burpees, that will be done on my next Q (first F3 anniversary, followed by a beer salute this time)
