  • Are you calling me fat? – from The Hammer

    5 took the red pill this warm and humid morning. Activities at the playground/workout equipment. 5 rounds of max out pull-ups and 10 IC ab exercise. Jose10k apparently chose to do ab exercises that didn’t cause him pain. This angered Bushwacker. You are supposed to follow the Q, he yelled.. Then Bushwacker attempted to compliment Jose. Hey Jose, I am impressed with your dedication and consistency with your posting. Jose replies: “Thanks Bush” Bushwacker responds” You think you’d be in better physical shape with all those posts” Ouch!. That’s cold Wacker. I heard Jose has been eating his feelings this morning.

    Anywho, another lap. Rinse and repeat replacing pull-ups with merkins. Jose left early, hurt by Wacker, but sometimes the truth hurts.

  • One Headlight with Cena – from Fracsac

    The Double Nickel week continued with 9 Pax joining YHC at Okwata.

    YHC barely made it to Okwata on time, for during the drive on West End headed to the AO the lyrics to One Headlight by the Wallflowers was blaring through the radio. Ironically YHC has one working headlight and NOPD felt the need to make that clear. Nevermind the other Pax doing 50 in a 35. Being the polite law abiding type, a simple warning was issued.

    So that’s how it started.

    Disclaimer given after much guff from Rudy about being “responsible” and mosey to the grass in front of the fountain. We did Star Wars stuff, nothing else to note. Cena Downrange from Pittsburgh thought it was the best warmup ever.

    Double shots with Jack Webb at the Barre. It’s always a crowd pleaser. Cena started taking notes.

    Mosey to the lake. YHC heard rumblings of “I ain’t going swimming” and “what’s he doing?” as YHC descended the steps to the waterline. Just derkins men, that’s all. Cena looked disappointed.
    Hawgcycle would have been proud. Only issue was the lake was calm.

    11 blue light posts with 5 burpees at each. Cena did extra, and Rudy felt the need to go with him.

    Up to Canal for BLIMPS & Four Corners with 5 x 8 count body builders every time we crossed the levee. Cena was really impressed now, he couldn’t wait to get back to Pittsburgh and show off his new learnings.

    Mosey to the House of Pain for Pull ups. Everyone got at least 6, then mosey back to the flag.

    YHC tossed in some Star Wars trivia, which all failed miserably at, so finished with some more burpees. Cena probably knew all the answers. He’s the kind of guy that doesn’t want to show everyone up.

    COT count of and namorama with last day of 54. Double Nickel is coming!

    Thanks for the brotherhood!

  • What’s this workout???? You’re Will to Live – from Einstein

    Einstein, Moby and Hogs Breath all took the pill and got out of our fart sacks to show up at the Gipper .

    As we entertained ourselves prior to the scheduled beat down time, Einstein stated, no one had the queue, so we began a round robin. Each Pax picked an exercise and began, normally to a count of 10. Hogs breath threw in a few funky things “Persian gods” which began in a squat and rotating the upper body to the side of the front leg, to a count of four just like facing the Persian gods to the east . Another good one was mountain man poopers, always a hit!

    After about 10 minutes of a warm-up, Einstein suggested blocks. We mosey’d to the coupon pile. Hogs breath had everyone pick a block and run over to the A1C. Backpedaling up the parking garage ramps. Some coupon work went on for about 10 minutes at one point Moby asked “what does this work?”
    The response came back “your calves, stamina, and will to live…”
    We returned the coupons back to their pile and finished off with a round of Mary, going one minute over the time!

  • Let’s Ruck a little more! – from Shooter

    With humidity in full swing 6 PAX emerged on the Scramble for a little extra.
    YHC decided to bring an extra coupon to the party. We had 3 Ruckers and 3 runners on this day. Ruckers carried the coupon through Mandeville and the Runners enjoyed some coupon work at the return to the AO.
    Hammer joined in on some rifle carry at the end.
    Warmup
    15IC SSH, Imperial walkers, Mummy kicks, Butt kicks
    10IC Grass grabbers, Good Mornings

    Runners enjoyed the standard route with a loop in and a loop out.
    Ruckers to the end of Messina and back with an added cylinder block rotating around.

    Returned to the AO with each PAX getting in some shoulder presses with coupon while remaining PAX completed stated exercises.
    Mountain climbers, Peter Parker’s, Squats, Merkins and Carolina dry docks 20 OYO each.

    Stated announcements, count off and COT.

    Prayers for the Nuss family with recent diagnosis of stage 4 cancer, safe travels and success for Brother Martin in the baseball state Championship, as well as for healing throughout the PAXs families…

    Love sharing life with you men of F3!

    Appreciate the post and until the next Gloom
    👊🏼👍🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Cat Herding at El Diablo – from Fracsac

    The Double Nickel week continued with 8 Pax joining YHC.

    Hokie arrived with an FNG, adding to the already eclectic atmosphere at the flag. Thumb War was assigned to get to know the FNG throughout the workout and tell us about him at the COT.

    Disclaimer given and mosey to the field for a warmup. Lots of confusion over the Star Wars themed movements. Hand Grenada and Bogey thought they were already at coffee with all the mumble chatter. YHC was losing the pax and somewhat disappointed but faith was restored when the pax properly identified the greatest exercise ever created. YHC completely recovered with the Squat Twist. That really seemed to get Bogey back in the game. HG seemed lost, probably looking for Mayhem. Opportunity was taken to throw in some Catalina Wine Mixers. Aquanet really liked those and was telling Kilo how they truly were the 2nd best exercise. Kilo simply responded that he could fly a plane now. CWMs have that effect.

    Mosey to the corner of the field. YHC turned to see where the FNG was and realized he already shook Thumb War. He somehow sent him back to the flag. With HG looking for ghosts, The Architect was being drawn to the Bogey side. We quickly did 5 burpees at 11 different stations. Hokie pointed out that we did them at the cones and he was certain we did 55. Yes, yes we did.

    Mosey to the rock pile. YHC told the pax there was a theme coming.

    We did U-Hauls with the rock, followed by Rows. HG was mumbling to himself, the Architect and Bogey were sparring over Star Wars knowledge, and Hokie was looking for more cones. Aquanet and Kilo were making engine noises, not sure what that was about. But Thumbwar was back, which seemed to make our FNG a little disappointed.

    Mosey to the playground for Pull Ups. This was turning into Cat Herding. Somehow got the pax to do 3 rotations of 3 x pull ups with planking.

    Mosey to the KNOT steps. No sign of those guys.

    First we did Everest, which is a lunge up the step and a squat, alternating.

    Next was Elf on the Shelf.

    YHC asked for the theme.

    Burpees
    U-Hauls
    Rows
    Pull-ups
    Everest
    Elf on the Shelf

    It took a while but we got there. Mosey back to the flag for COT.

    Thumbwar did manage to get some info on the FNG. Marine Veteran and aspiring Chef. Welcome Mess Hall!!

    Thanks for joining me and for the brotherhood.

  • Anyone Home? – from Shooter

    Hello! Good morning! Are you alright? Anyone there? Give us something already sir Wacker..
    5 PAX converged on grandma’s place with all types of chatter. However, one PAX needed a little more warming up to the Gloom to get it started, while others were primed and ready to deliver..Akbar surprised us all posting on this Gloom, and Jose10k wasted no time grilling why he missed the Marsh on Monday when he was signed up to Q. After debate back and forth for a min YHC got the PAX warmed up with 10IC arm circles, Cherry pickers, Imperial walkers and hillbillies. Moseyed halfway around to the stage with instructions provided for the walls of Jericho.
    7 reps each exercise followed by 7 moseys around the trailhead.
    8 count bodybuilder
    Jump squats
    Groiners
    Carolina dry docks
    Donkey kickoffs
    Apollo Onos
    Merkins

    With 2 mins remaining ETKs 15IC each side..

    Circled up, count annouce and COT..

    Until the next gloom 👊🏼👍🏼✌🏼!!!

  • National Limerick Day – from Waterpik

    At dawn, we all gathered with pride,
    But Akbar? That dude went and hid.
    Waterpik took the lead,
    With Coachella stampede—
    On cowbell time, chaos applied.

    To the bars where our arms met their fate,
    Six rounds ‘til our lats couldn’t wait.
    Supermans on the ground,
    Moaning sounds all around—
    It looked like a CrossFit first date.

    Then burpees and merkins galore,
    At intersections—we cursed, then did more.
    Our lungs begged for peace,
    But the sprints didn’t cease—
    Lakefront pain’s what the sadists adore.

    A return to court,
    We repeated that sort,
    Crushing at each intersection,
    A series of chest extensions.

    Big Thanks to this weekends host, Mr. Legal
    His Party? Straight up F2-regal.
    We drank, laughed, and ate,
    Now prepare for the next date-
    A Murph is coming, so cancel your kegel!

  • Boisterous Rock City – from Fracsac

    The Double Nickel week continued with 8 other Pax joining YHC.

    Disclaimer given then off to meet Hand Grenada while Tenderloin hit the track. Once HG was finished pounding his morning Joe, the pax circled up for the warmup. Nothing to note except the squat twist, which brought much joy to Bogey. Mr Rogers did not like the squat twist, not sure if it was the name or the evolution. Either way, he protested during the SSHs.

    Continue to the Rock Pile. YHC informed the pax that rock burpees would be afoot, so choose wisely. Rudy gave YHC the proverbial middle finger and chose the biggest rock he could find. Kilo heard him mutter something like “he lies.” Kilo responded with “I do too know how to land a plane!” And with that he grabbed an even bigger rock!

    HG got tired of waiting and said he was headed for the hill. Fast Tax said “not so fast” and pointed out a railroad tie and said we should do 5 x rock burpees.

    On we went stopping at a random tree Bogey seemed to connect with. He demanded 5 more rock burpees.

    We continued to the hill for 11s. Rock burpees and OH press. YHC was going to do an ab exercise but HG demanded we lug the rocks. Vagabond yelled out “Do em right y’all”.

    On to the playground for one last thing. Stations with 5 x pull-ups and everything else AMRAP. Two rounds.

    Back to the rockpile and mosey to the flag

    COT

    Thank you all for the brotherhood!

  • Hug your Mommas – from Fracsac

    Double Nickel week kicks off with the Renaissance! 5 Pax came together to celebrate life and to strengthen bonds through shared suffering.

    Warmup facing the bacon with many references to Star Wars and a little squat twisting.

    11 light posts with 5 burpees at each.

    Grab a frisbee and a football and mosey to the dueling oaks where each Pax honor would be on display! There were many burpees completed due to poor marksmanship.

    Jack Webbs

    Finish with 3 x Sunday Mornings

    COT

    Hug your Mommas today! Virtual hugs count!
