Extreme Couponing – 7/3/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Sting Ray, Bleep, Slushii, B Cup, Draper
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Glencoe Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

Hillbillies x15 IC

Windmill x10 IC

THA THANG:

Mosey around park pointing out landmarks along the way.  PAX choice where to start, but object is to circle park carrying coupon stopping at each station to perform the following:

Field bleachers: offset walking merkins x5 DC

Northside sideline to goal post: Block lunges

NW softball field: Merkin groiner curl x10

SW softball field: Step up press x10 DC

Pavilion: Squat box thrusters x10

Repeato circuit when complete…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC completely forgot to pray us out.

MOLESKIN:
YHC put this together knowing it would be challenging to the PAX, but as always underestimated the pain involved.  I believe the step ups were the crowd favorite followed by the squat box thrusters!  Fortunately, there were no banged shins today!  PAX were indignant with YHC as I spent a good 10-15 mins of the workout EH’ing a passerby who, for the record, spoke to me first.  As an always accelerating HIM, I could not pass up the opportunity to spread the F3 gospel.  There was a question of whether today’s workout would be 45 minutes or an hour to which YHC offered an hour when the 45 minutes was up.  There were no takers, however I was challenged to take another lap to make up for my EH lollygag.  I asked for volunteers to keep me company and again was rebuffed.  YHC also apologizes for the COT lapse today!

Fun in the Park – 06/11/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Bleep, Life Alert, Slushii, Sex Panther, Draper
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Burleson Park                
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: All present are familiar, but abridged version given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

IST x15 IC

Windmills x 10 IC

THA THANG:
Mosey to SE corner of park

x25 Merkins
then to each successive corner of the park and complete

x25 Squats
x25 Peter Parker’s
x25 Carolina Dry Docks

Mosey to tennis courts
One-way suicide (i.e. facing same way entire time) with increasing groiners at each line
Mosey to wall for wall sit x 60 secs

Balls to the wall x5 (originally planned for x10 but much more difficult that YHC anticipated)
Back on the end line for OW suicide w/increasing burpees at each line

Mosey to parking lot for exercises below – bear crawl to next line between exercises
Hip slapper x10
Imperial storm kickers x10DC
Mickey mouse merkins x5
Superman x10DC

Mosey back to soft top for PAX choice Mary until time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.

MOLESKIN:
As is typical for YHC’s workouts (at least in his own mind) the workout was much rougher than it appeared on paper.  Mumble chatter commenced during the corner work but quickly dissipated once on the tennis courts and the groiners commenced.  The suicides slowly morphed into mall-walk suicides as the PAX and YHC hit E on the gas tank.  Balls to the wall proved to be a growth area for PAX.  Any additional reps would have provided some lucky plastic a nice South Pacific vacation!  Burpee suicide proved to be the regular crowd favorite, one that even YHC contemplated an Omaha.  Parking lot work introduced the PAX to a couple of new exercises and YHC sends his thanks to our resident safety patrol, Sex Panther, for suggesting that we not crawl across the entire parking lot given the construction crews coming to work.  Therefore, we went across only one section of the lot.  Some finish up Mary where I think Bleep took a nap with his legs at 12” above the ground.  The soft top is back open again, AlrightAlright has an old, familiar place to plant his Starbucky tailbone once again! 

We were all gassed when we hit time, YHC did his job!

MOLESKIN:

The Warm-o-rama was done in reverse order which of course drew some mumblechatter from Alright Alright as well as the length of the Catch me if you can, something about a lot of merkins. As we headed to the B field there was a lot of sprinting to begin with as the football was thrown. At some point AA mentioned that the count was low on reps and thus I increased it to a min of 10 and max of 25 instead of the set of 1 and 15.  20 Min into the beatdown Sally called to find out where we were and thus a conversation about what a penalty would be for being late, upon YHC suggesting a burpee for every minute late the PAX kindly silenced about penalties since it means we all do them. There were some bold moves made and a lot of laughter about how guys got to the football.

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!

Moleskin:
We all we’re lacking a little motivation this morning and probably didn’t start until around 0532-0533 and after a quick warmup got straight to business with this mosey for damn near a mile with very brief stops to get the heart rate up even more. I feel like once the bear crawling started we all got focused and were grunting more than chatting. It was a good beatdown this morning. Glad my brothers came out to support our first “official” Midway Hollow Monday boot camp. Look forward to growing the AO and F3! #acceleration #isi #giveitaway

Moleskin:
I showed up this morning with a “field” routine only to see that they were fertilizing the field at 0527 in the morning! Had to call an audible and use the tennis courts, which had a fence dividing the two courts so again, had to modify the run portion of the Blackjack.  There was some grumbling during warm-up about “legs” but, we had to get them in at some point because the rest was ALL arms, chest, shoulders! Typical Rump in that I didn’t even mean to destroy our upper body. It just comes naturally!

Noone made it thru “Bring Sally up” without touching the ground. We’ll have to do that one more often. There was some mumble chatter during the first few rounds of BlackJack which were soon replaced with grunts, moans, and a few choice words about merkins! I hope everyone would agree, it was a beat down. Good ole fashion Rump special! 

Announcements:
Happy Hour tomorrow at Sex Panthers. We’ll be BYOB and chair to maintain social distancing practices.

Temp: 74° and cloudy
Weather: It as nice and cloudy even in the dark, with a nice cool breeze.

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX:  Slushii, Bleep, Sub Prime, and Shifty McCoy
QIC: Rump Roast

AO: SE Corner of Park Lane & Lakemont Drive

Disclaimer: Given

Intro/ Warm-o-Rama:
– SSH’s x20 IC
– IST’s x20 IC
– I feel like I’m forgetting something here
– Cotton Pickers  x10 IC

The Thang:
Mosey down Lakemont a block or so to Beechwood 
– 25x Deep Squats (Slow & Low OYO) 
– Moseyed down another block for
– Wheel of Merkins x10 each (IC)

Moseyed to Walnut Hill parking lot for:
– Suicide long-to-short using light poles in the parking lot. 

Then had PAX pick exercises for a Jacobs Ladder. Bleep picked – Sideways Crabwalk to a waypoint. So I had to Omaha and had Slushii and Sub Prime pick an exercise each. Big-Boi Sit-Ups and Slushii had to get all fancy and gove us a variation of an Uptown Crunch but from the side plank position, drawing top knee and elbow together. 

After Jacobs Ladder we moseyed thru the church campus to the Midway Parking lot.

Moseyed to Valley Ridge and PAX did some Mountain Climbers waiting on the 6 (Shifty and YHC).

Then a little 2nd F slow mosey and mumble chatter back to the launch point for CoT.

Circle of Trust (CoT):
Slushii prayed us out this morning

Playlist:
No tunes today

Moleskin:
It was nice to see Sub Prime back out with us this morning and that it was a decent little Midway Hollow Statpad Sunday! YHC will admit to other than knowing I wanted to go to the church, I didn’t plan the “light” workout. I believe it’s safe to say that we all ran a little further than we anticipated and ended up getting in a pretty solid beatdown. The Second F was well deserved. I think everyone agrees that after the shelter in pace, even with a lot us staying pretty active, a full week of F3 beat downs is tough, it’s going to take me a few weeks to get back into the full swing of things and can’t wait!
