F3 New Orleans

Category: New Orleans

  • This is not 40

    With most of PAX absent on Saturday, we started the workout with the burpee countdown (thanks to OBT): 10, 9, 8, 7 then a layup of sorts with only 5 more for a total of 39.

    39 was the theme of day with YHC hitting the big 4-0 this week.

    Moseyed to the bandstand. Jumped off the bandstand due to the excessive pebbles. Rocks of any size are not tolerated at The Skinny. Circled by the lake:

    SSH x39 (count not so pure), IW x29 & finished with 10 IW squats

    Moseyed to lights by the track for Mekin sprints: every two lights merkins starting at 9 and counting down to 4

    Moseyed back to the lake:

    LBC x39, Dying Cockroach x29 and finished with 10 Russian Twists

    Back to lights for another 9 through 4 merkin sprint countdown

    To the benches:

    RLSU x13, Dips x13, LLSU x13, Derkins x13, L leg Up x13 & R Leg Up x13

    Back to the lights for the third and final merkin sprint countdown 9 through 4

    COP in the grass:

    Leg holds: 6 inches (a smoot), 45 degrees and then halfway – Cav with the quick math of 25.5 degrees sans a protractor

    High Dollys x13, Hello Dollys x13 then flutters x13

    Plank-o-rama: regular, left arm, right arm, backwards, back to regular then a fast paced 39 count mission impossible hold

    And for the always fun finale: boo boo bear crawls light to light, left leg then right leg

    Moseyed back to the virtual flags for a count-off, name-o-rama & a circle of balls

    Thanks for the good times

     

     

     

  • Bad Teacher

    Bogey was down range so YHC had his first first substitute Q.

    Warm Up COP – around the shovel flag

    Arm Circles x 20
    Imperial Walkers x 21
    Low Slow Squats x 20
    Calf Raises x 20
    Side Straddle Hop x 20 – kudos to Maverick who stayed pure with my count – Dredd will be proud

    Inspired by OBT  10 burpees then 9 burpees, then  . . . we moseyed, much to the delight of the PAX so 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, will have to wait for another day.

    COP – Rock Hill – encouraged to go big, we stayed close for three rounds of rock play.

    Rnd 1

    Curls x 15
    Rows x 15
    Chest Press x 20

    Returned our rocks and happy to say no skulls were crushed in the gloom.

    After a brief hallelujah run we moseyed to a field for some 11’s

    11’s w/ Merks and Lunges  -Shorty set the pace and YHC brought in the six.

    We then split into three groups using 7 burpees to keep count.  We were able to get in three glorious rounds. Burpees, Pull ups, LBC’s

    Mosey for some Mary

    LBC x 20
    Pretzel Crunch x 15 each side
    Hello Dolly x 20
    Flutter Kicks x 20
    Putins x 20
    Mosey back for name o rama and  announcements.   FNG- Radar, who was a professional trainer, gave us some good tips on proper form for rows – thanks brother.  We tightened up for a ball of man with several prayer requests for those who are suffering and my personal request for several more months of cool, low humidity mornings.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

  • Don’t breathe through your nose or Cheeto Fingers?

    Beautiful AM with 60 degree weather – and TWO FLAGS
    Roots needed a sub – and I couldn’t get to the computer to request another Q so I got stuck with planning the Friday at Wolfpack Mtn. The good news is that I LOVE to run a workout at Wolfpack Mountain.

    SSH x 25, Imperial Walkers x 25, L/RArm Raise Merksx 20, Peter Parkers x 20, and LBCs x 35

    Then we mosey’d to the TOP of Wolfpack MTN

    At the top we did some SLOW COUNT REAL FREDDY MERCURIES x 25, Side Crunches – Left x 20, Walking Wife Pleasers x 20 (didn’t feel this at all), Side Crunches x – Right x 20, Russian Twists x 25
    **Felt the side crunches need to add those to the Mary rotation. The Walking Wife Pleaser wasn’t too good.
    The AM Sunrise was awesome!

    Then we MOSEY’d down to the ROTC Pull up bars

    At the Pull Ups we did a modified Rocket Man series: Pull ups, Box Jumps, 10 x Burpees, and Declined Parkers – – the count was on the 10 Burpees everything else was AMRAP

    We did a second cycle through we did Burpees, Hanging Oblique Rotations,Box Jumps, and V ups

    Man the smell here was special. I thought it was Douille’s breath at first but it turns out there was some fertilizer on the ground

    Then we mosey’d up and down Wolfpack Mtn. Noticed some Honey KiKs cereal by the door way at the top of the Mtn. Last week District, week before that Wendy’s. Someone keeps leaving us treats on the route.

    Then we went straight to benches for a full tabata series with Dips aka Freak Nastys. And it hurt me.

    Good workout this AM gents! Thanks for pushing me!
    Make sure you post tomorrow at City Park with OBT and Dredd!
    I really wanted to name the Hustler – Cheeto Dust/Fingers because of his orange shirt but we kind of had to go with the Hustler. Maybe we need to change that tomorrow to something meaner? Pasties, Tassles, etc…

  • Cincol (Sinkhole) de Mayo

    In semi-honor of New Orleans’ tribute to the Mexican victory against Napoleon III’s crack troops on this day in 1862, we promptly head to

    COP Uno
    Five burpees (for Cinco)
    SSH x31IC (for half of [18]62)
    Parker Peters x31IC (for second half of [18]62)
    Five burps (for Mayo)

    COP Dos
    Lunge walk to the top of the levee
    Duck walk to the bottom
    Pause (breathe for dear life)
    Bear crawl back up to the top of the levee
    Bear crawl back down (somehow the road gets longer and longer)

    Mosey to the circle of benches. Sadly there are only eight, while the PAX is nine. So Bogey is forced to share a bench with his Q. Sorry.

    COP Quattro
    Zig-zag elevens up and down the levee back towards the Flag. One to 10 of LBCs at the top, and 10 to 1 of lunge jumps at the bottom, with diagonal moseys between top and bottom.

    Un minuto de tablon (or, as Tonio said in I Pagliacci, La Commedia e finita!)

    To COT for thanks. Sorry for the bad puns.

  • 610 Stomp #37

    Six men gathered in the pleasant City Park gloom for our usual Tuesday run w/lagniappe. After having a modest PAX of two last week, it was nice to see a few more guys this week, especially Beetle from Atlanta. The workout de jour was a thirty minute run followed by speed work on the track. So off we went, 15 minutes out along the Bayou St. John route and 15 minutes back. Most turned around at Dumaine St. or Orleans. T-claps to those who cranked out burpees every six minutes. Reconvene at the track for some sprints. Lap 1: sprint 50M, walk 50M, rinse and repeat till done. Lap 2&3: sprint 100M, walk 100M, rinse and repeat till done. No time left for lap 4. Mosey to flag to seal the deal with 10 burpees. Sweat was dripping so we must have done something right.

    COT included prayer for The Phillips family and Boudreaux’s mother-in-law.

  • May Crowning, the Skull Crusher

    Monday mornings always have surprises–such as when Tool says, so you’re Qing today and Thursday. What, that can’t be right. But lo and behold, that’s what Q-meister Hawg reported, so there it is. T-Claps to Amnesty for posting even with an injury: the motto Modify as Necessary means you still can post. So after the apt disclaimer, we mosey to

    First COP
    SSH x30IC
    IW x30IC
    Mountain Climbers x30IC
    Low Slow Squats x30IC
    Gyroscopes x15IC forward, x15IC backwards

    Time to find a bigger friend than usual since we won’t be doing much moseying

    Second COP
    Shoulder Press x20IC
    Triceps Curl x12IC
    Squat x20IC
    Rows x20IC
    Calf raises x20IC

    Nature calls for the Q, and the door is locked! That’s what trees are for. After some planking by the PAX,

    Third COP
    Channing Tatum x20IC
    Dips x25IC
    Tatum Channing x20IC
    Irkens x20IC
    Derkins x10IC, rest, x10IC

    By the way, the original Channing Tatum was born two days after Mr. Awesome: so is that why he was so into the dude that he could remember what movies he was in to know about step-ups? Just asking…

    Fourth COP (or the May Crowning)
    Paired up (Tool and Amnesty, and Marlin and JV) to do two rounds of 30 sit ups per round passing a rock from one to the other. In the first round, Tool and Amnesty smoked by passing their rock behind their heads instead just to their chests. So not to be outdone, Marlin and JV attempt same in the second round. Warning: don’t drop the rock on your head, unless you want to decorate the concrete with a nice shade of crimson. At about no. 13 or so, JV ignores warning.

    Fifth COP (Circle o’ Mary)
    Russian Twists x25IC
    Hello Dolly x25IC
    Dying Cockroach x25IC
    Penguins x25IC
    Hip Dips: right side x20IC, left side x20IC
    Flutter Kicks x25IC

    Lagniappe
    1:30 of plankorama

    Uberslow mosey to return rocks and go to virtual flag. Countorama, namorama and shoutouts for a great May Crowning. 25 more to go for the month.

  • May Crowning

    When Yankee and I taught at Sacred Heart they had a strange little tradition called May Crowning which serves as the namesake for our May Competition. Here are the rules:

    1. Put up $50.00
    2. Post at least 3 times in each of the 4 weeks during May
    3. Keep your money and get a free round at the first F2 event in June.

    The idea is to challenge yourself to post consistently. You have to post at least 3 times each week to win and keep your money – miss one week and you are out. We will use the “loser” money to treat the winners at F2 and donate the rest to charity.

    There will also be an overall winner for the man that posts the most during May. Overall winner gets some F3 swag and chooses the charity (Human Fund is not allowed).

    If you are in, post a comment below. Reply to your original comment at the end of each week with the number of workouts you posted at during the week. Competition starts on Monday 5/2. Monday – Saturday constitutes a week.

    Game on!
