  • Let’s get the Band back together!! – from Shooter

    With a late afternoon text to Steve and YHC, ole Wacker got the Band back together. While it’s been awhile since the 3 amigos from Mandeville had the chance to post at the Gipper. The morning would prove we could pick right back up like we hadn’t missed a beat from past car pooling.. That is what YHC loves most about F3.. These fine fellows are truly brothers from another mother that I am privileged to share the gloom with..
    Besides, the Gipper has always been my favorite AO even if we sometimes get a little hate from BBQ the “Chef” fan in the group..
    We arrived 10 mins early so we tackled a prethang mile and then returned with 5 HIMs assembled.

    We took our time with a warmup of a bunch of regulars all 10IC.
    GM, Cherry pickers, arm circles, Toe Touches, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, seal jacks, Abe Vogadas.

    R1 Curls for the girls
    10 OYO for each PAX while the rest held half curl positions.
    When finished 20IC as a group.
    R2 Rows for the …….
    10 OYO for each PAX while the rest held half hold.
    20IC as a group.
    R3 10 OYO overhead presses each PAX held overhead coupon hold.
    20IC as a group once around.

    Moseyed to the justice center and partnered up. Partners luged up and back down backwards. R/R while the rest did core.
    Moseyed to the other side for bunny hops up and reverse bear crawl down. Rest of PAX held Al Gore..

    R4 5 OYO kettle swings while PAX held coupon Gore and finished with 10IC kettle swings.

  • Tabata Your Self – from Mobydick

    Don’t post it it didn’t happen. Sorry for the late post but better than not at all. The usual warm up stretches and a little cardio. A :45/:30 Tabata featuring Crunchy Frogs Squats Crunches SSH Merkins Tie Touches and A Lap. Three full rounds and half of a fourth.
    This old man had a workout and the rest of the PAX did too. Self pacing makes sure everyone gets what they need. The crisp and wonderful weather added inspiration.

  • Great Scott!!! – from Jose10k

    10/26/1955
    Marty’s journey through time begins on October 26, 1985, when he accidentally travels back to 1955 during a mishap with the DeLorean. His adventures in the past, including meeting his teenage parents, inadvertently shape his future. Marty must ensure that his parents meet and fall in love, or risk altering the course of his own existence. His race against time makes for a thrilling and humorous story that has become a hallmark of the movie.
    Which is why I am curious, how has JV not seen this classic? Netflix homework brother.

    Warm-Up: Preparing for Time Travel (5 minutes) Power of Love by Huey Lewis and News

    Jog to Noah’s Arc: Modified Dora (Great Scott)

    Phase 1: Time for 88mph, we will 88 burpees, partner 1 runs the arc while partner 2 does burpees

    Phase 2: “1.21 Gigawatts “ What the hell is Gigawatt? Dora again, partner 1 runs a loop, while partner 2 does merkins- Team total is 121.
    1.21 Gigawatts again, this time with a twist, each person has to do 121 squats individually while their partner runs a loop. Two loops were needed.

    Phase 3: 1955 – “Skateboard Escape”
    This phase is inspired by Marty’s quick thinking and agility as he escapes Biff’s gang.

    1. Bear Crawls – ½ way up, jog the rest of the way
    Imagine you’re dodging around obstacles.
    2. Side lunges 10 on each side, at the top of the arc, rinse and repeat
    3. Walking Lunges – up the arc and back to strengthen your legs to escape Biff

    Phase 4: Enchantment Under the Sea dance-
    Johnny B Goode- SSH to the whole song of Johnny Be Good

    Phase 3: Back in Time. Time to get Marty back to the future with Reverse lunges all the way around Noah’s Arc. Back in Time by Huey Lewis and Earth Angel as well. With a minute left it was a quick run back to the flag. COT with intentions for my family with the passing of my Aunt Patty. Thanks for letting me lead, thanks for reading the back blast. SYITG

  • This is (not) Sparta! – from Russo

    With many folks off to Dallas to watch a Michigan State game, a small krewe of 3 braved the chilly mid 50s early morning temps. I thought I would be flying solo, because at 6:30 only I was in shouting distance of the flag, but alas Pika and Legal found me after their pre-thang for some:

    4 corners (at each corner of a block, perform reps accordingly…10 at block1, 20 block 2, R&R)

    Round 1:
    10 Burpees
    20 Squats
    30 shoulder taps
    40 crunches

    Round 2
    10 wide merkins
    20 monkey humpers
    30 SMCs
    40 Flutter kicks (2 is 1)

    Round 3
    10 Jump squats
    20 Merkins
    30 plank jacks
    40 hello Dollie’s

    Pik peeled off at some point, so Legal and I moved to the gazebo for 11s:

    Freak Nastys
    Carioca in between to the sidewalk
    M’ktar Jhai’s

    We moseyed back to the flag for a little Mary: penguins, gas pumps, Rosalitas, Leg raises.

    A good time was had by all as we had a quick COT and prayer, lifting up our Spartan brethren primarily.

  • A chilly game of cards! – from BBQ

    It was 52 degrees at the start. After a solid and assorted warm up we moved to the deck of cards to drive the rest of the beat down. Each suit represented an exercise. Aces were 14 reps thru 2’s as 2 reps. Clubs were jump squats. Spades were gas pumps. Hearts were hand release merkins. Diamonds were Freddie Mercurys with 2 as 1. There were two jokers and we told bad jokes when they came up. We got thru the deck with 3 minutes to spare The last minutes were spent on YHC’s 3 favorite lower body stretches. Dark Wing prayed us out and he prayed for a safe trip and obstacle course for our many F3 Northshore Brothers going to TX this weekend.

  • Round Robin – from Fletch

    Four pax showed up on this cool morning and none had signed up for the Q, so we did a round robin warmup.
    Thang, all pax grabbed coupons and proceeded to do a round robin workout with a mosey around the block on two occasions.
    Barely legal prayed us out.
