  • Rock City Answers The Belle – from Hawgcycle

    Conditions: Clear and 77 degrees. Humidity 87%. Wind 2.3 mph from the WNW.

    Pax: The Bogé, Charmin, Hokie, Rudy, Triple, Boo, HG, Cyber C, and YHC

    I’m using text to speech to write this back blast cents I can’t move my harms. My farms. My alarms. Delete. Backspace. BACKSPACE. Okay. Just start over. Leeland! Come here. How do I turn this off? Never mind. Stop laughing at me. You have milk coming out your nose. Just wipe your face and go to school. New Paragraph.

    Hokie clearly became board during the first 3 quarters of the Saints game, as he texted me regarding the set-up for this week’s IPC. He told me what the challenge was, that setting it up as a star was stupid and then he texted “Are you stupid?” I texted “I’m not stupid.”

    Charmin’s car was there when I pulled up at about 0515. I think he may have slept there. We walked up together with our cinderblocks coming upon a mass of humanity, lying on the sidewalk, shaped like a pretzel. We told The Bogé hello as we stepped over him. One by one pax members came to a cinder block workout without cinder blocks. The requirements for an F3 workout could not be much lower. It’s free, you do have to leave your house and go outside, and about twice per year you need to bring something to the workout. Fortunately our resident boy scout had a couple of PainCakes that he donated to a couple of pax and then walked to the rock pile so that he could do the workout au natural.

    The Thang: Belle Ringer
    Format: AMRAP for 45 minutes

    Set-Up: Make a 5-point star with each point of the star being 25 yards away from the center. Scratch that. Set Up: Mark of 25 yards from the goal line and tell people to remember the order of the exercises and don’t get in each other’s way.

    Workout starts with:
    • 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 2 and perform 10 “We’re Not Worthy”. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in middle. Rifle carry to cone 3 and perform 15 Goblet Squats. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in middle. Rifle carry to cone 4 and perform 20 Overhead Triceps Extensions. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 25 KB Swings. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 30 Curls. Farmer carry back to middle.

    Scoring: Total reps for 45 minutes of the exercises

    Each complete trip is 125 reps

    • T-claps to Cyber Cajun for vowing to arrive early today and executing. He was a little late to last week’s IPC. We talked about the importance of getting there early since everyone is going to want to start at 0530. He arrived at least 15 seconds before this one started.
    • Mahatma was a no-show. The rumor was that he was looking for a cinder block that weighed more than 10 pounds. He finally found one, but was unable to lift it into his truck.
    • T-Claps to Rudy for Marshalling enough courage to show up this morning.
    • The variety of coupons used today was impressive. We had three or four actual cinder blocks. We had a couple of PainCakes. There was the natural rock. And Triple Shift brought a bag of laundry that he swears weighs 45 pounds.
    • We helped each other calculate the results since there was some difficult mathematical concepts involved. Hand Grenada proved that Arkansas is at least 49th in education. Bogey came over and let him use his fingers. After staring at my feet for a while, they still couldn’t come up with the correct number. I fixed it for them below. Without further ado here are the results. Remember, you can post these on F3 Greenville’s site if you want to see how ridiculous other people’s numbers are.

    o Charmin – 375
    o Rudy – 375
    o Triple – 373
    o Hokie – 275 + a long mosey with rock to and from the rock pile
    o Boo – 375
    o Cyber – 300
    o HG – 410
    o The Bogé – 395
    o YHC – 430

  • Where are the MAINE-IACS? – from Reluctant Yankee

    17 PAX answered the CALL to be part of the PACK at Wolfpack MTN
    Ran straight to base of WPM
    At WPM – we started with a warm up COP
    SSH, Imp Walker squats, Roaches, Merks x 20

    Immediately up the stairs to the top of the MTN – and we prepped for a
    DIRTY MACDEUCE
    4 exercises times x 12 – quick
    LAP 1:
    Squats – Wide Merks – Flutter – LBT
    Then we ran a loop down the stairs – and then up the other stairwell
    **Modification was to remove a few floors if you need to
    LAP 2:
    Lunges – JLO – Hello Dolly – Rosalita
    Then we ran the stair loop
    LAP 3:
    Back lunge – Shoulder Taps – Peter Parker – Parker Peter
    Then we ran the stair loop
    LAP 4:
    Side Lunge – Oblique Crunch Right – Oblique Crunch Left – Plank Jacks
    Then ran the loop

    As soon as we got to the top – we ran back down to the benches.
    Dips, Left/Right Power ups x 20, 10- Decline Merks on your own

    Back to the FLAG
    Today is 9/9 but I wanted the guys to think about 9/11 and the stairs – every time we run them I think of men who ran towards danger instead of to personal safety. I prayed for us to men of action in all situations.

    Random mumblechatter:
    Where are the MAINE-IACS? Bunch of PAX on a “retreat” at Douilles house in Maine
    Angie’s List had his total workout coffee clatch- dude does not stop talking unless we do 50 burpees in a row
    El Wire was obsessed with Gump looking like the Villain from Kindergarden Cop
    Quincy made it back out to the GLOOM
    Double Dutch kind enough to join us from OUT OF UPTOWN

  • 11 is the Devil’s Favorite Number – from Bolt

    As 5:30 struck and there’s no Bogey, YHC grabbed the opportunity to lead the workout he thought was supposed to b his until checking the Q sheet the night before.

    Warmorama of the usual stuff followed by a mosey to the rock pike where PAX were instructed to grab a rock they could curl and tricep press. Make our way to the parking area for an easy plan with challenging execution, 11s: 8 count full body rock work (squat, curl, overhead press, tricep press then reverse) on one end followed by a 25 yd. bear crawl with burpees at the end and a mosey return. With the lack of mumblechatter and plenty of grunting from Triple, YHC can assume the PAX were treated to a solid beatdown worthy of El Diablo and discovers that 11 is, in fact, the devil’s favorite number. COT

  • Special Teams – from Tinkles

    The pax was still mentally numb from watching LSU put the special in special teams late into Skinny Eve. Despite that, 15 strong showed up at 5:30 on Labor Day for a great start to the day. The game chatter at least helped pass the time and good beat down was had by all.

    Warm up: arm circles forward and back, SSH, IW, Mountain Climbers, Squats

    Beatdown: ran around the loop mixing Indian runs with individual tempo work. Swept the 6 and stopped for merkin ring of fire, bench work, some Mary, and lastly 10 burpees.

    Back at the flag with some time to spare and plank work.

    Count off, namorama, intentions. Well done fellas!
