  • Try to Make It Better, Keep Learning from Your Mistakes – from Bushwacker

    Last week YHC picked up the Q at the A1C after a long absence. The iron was present, the core was tested, and QIC walked away happy, yet unsatisfied. So with building upon that success in mind, it was time to double down! Same iron, same core, more exercises plus cones. But sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men go awry.

    WARMORAMA

    x10 IC: Windmills, T Stretches, Torso Twists, Hairy Rockettes, Imperial Walkers

    THANG

    What was SUPPOSED to happen: With 5 cones spread out across the length of the parking garage and a pair of 20lb dumbbells, 45lb dumbbells, a 25lb plate and a 45lb plate at one end. Each man would walk/run the length with a designated weight while the rest of the PAX did various core exercises. At each cone on separate turns(there AND back) would be: 5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 10 Squats, 10 Sister Mary Katherines, 10 Torso Twists, 10 Mountain Climbers, 10 Squat Thrusters, and 10 Kettle Bell Swings.(See, could’ve been worse, huh guys?)

    What ACTUALLY happened: With such a strong showing It took us nearly 30 minutes just to get through the 1st exercise! QIC didn’t audible soon enough, but when I did two men went at a time, it went from 5 to 4 to 1 cone, and it was exercise on the way there and walk/run back. With these changes we still only got through the Burpees, Merkins and Squats before time experied.

    COT
    With no time for Mary, the COT capped by Einstein’s prayer was all we could fit in. From what was SUPPOSED to happen you can see YHC had intended some strenuous coupon work, but for the best of reasons it simply was not quite to be. Regardless, the attendance and effort are both appreciated and applauded. Well done gentlemen!

  • We all do this, don’t we? – from Waterpik

    Today’s beatdown was plagiarized from Hogsbreaths beatdown at the marsh a couple of weeks ago. We all copy workouts, don’t we? Here we go: PAX grabs a cinder block, lines up in a single file line on Lamarque st and starts heading towards the lakefront. Instructions were to walk to the lakefront with the coupon. Last man in line jogs to front of line with coupon. Rinse and repeat. At the lakefront sets of Tabata were on the menu. , 30 secs with 10 secs rest. Exercises were merkins, 100s, big boy sit-ups, Supermans, freak nasties, rows w/ coupon, presses w/ coupon, kettle bell swings, leg raises. Rinse and repeat. With 15 minutes to spare, grab coupon and head back to the marsh.
    5 minutes left: hit the 6 for some Mary: cowbells crunchy frogs ((where was cowbell?), flutter kicks, chill cut plank.

    Have a good week guys! Y’all bring out the best in me! I hope F3 brings out the best in all of you too
