  • Mosey to ONE HUNDRED – from Mayhem

    Conditions: 63 F, felt like 66 F, 0 mph wind

    YHC arrived by foot at 5:28… because it is February and Every Mile Counts.

    Mumblechatter began before 5:30
    At the bell, disclaimer given and we commenced to carioca down the jogging path changing direction halfway
    Near the main gate, the start of the warmarama: A-slow-V, GG, low slow squats

    Then we “snaked the railings”. When you weren’t snaking, PAX held an Al Gore.
    It was awkward. It was different. Different can be good.

    Mosey down the path to the parking lot near the track entrance.
    Finish the warmarama with PPP, MC and MAYHEM MERKINS (hip slap, shoulder tap, merkin in a 10-count cadence… Exicon worthy)

    Into the track bleacher gate we went.
    The Main Thang: do 10 of something, then a form of transportation, then 20 of something, and so on to 100.

    10 left leg lunge, right leg lunge, burpee, two squats OYO – snake the bleachers
    20 burpees OYO – run back in front of the bleachers
    30 merkins OYO – run to the press box, up the stairs and back
    40 overhead claps OYO – run to the goal post and back
    50 monkey humpers OYO – run in the parking lot to the opposite track entrance
    60 lunges 1-is-1 OYO – run to the gym, bear crawl up the ramp, run back
    70 squats OYO – run up the gym stairs and head to the north side of the gym
    80 LBCs IC – run to the gym entrance and wall sit for 2 mins
    90 flutter kicks IC – run through the parking lot near the track
    100 air presses holding an Al Gore IC (taking turns counting to every 10) – indian run back to the flag

    2 minutes of stretching before COT

    Announcements
    -Kenna Brah learned something from a random French woman that means nothing
    -IOAM tomorrow in Thibodaux
    -City Pork and Old Metry Mosey around the corner

    Intentions
    -Kenna Brah’s friend’s granddaughter
    -Cheesesteak’s friend
    -Bogey to be understood

    Great group of men. We worked hard. Lots of mumblechatter. Great way to start a Friday.
    SYITG!

  • Make ’em say Uhhhhhggggg….. – from Architect

    YHC arose on time and ready to take on whatever today’s Q was to serve up. Upon arrival, only 4 PAX were present and after a few mumbled greetings I was enlightened with the fact that I was indeed the Q for the day (I blame Rudy for my lack of awareness).

    Disclaimer provided and off we mosey’d to the Rock Pile for warmups. A few more less inspired PAX arrived, one donning a new garment that apparently made him feel “like one of the cool kids”. A little of this and a few of those, now we are nice an warm.

    Da Thang….
    Rocks were selected, and we cycled through a deconstructed “clean and press” focusing on form and mobility. Deadlifts, rows, squats, OHP and then finally putting it all together for the full movement.

    PAX mosey’d to hill for next exercise. 5 min plank holds, if rest was required, PAX ran up and over hill to resume planks on the other side. Apparently some felt it unnecessary to engage in the prescribed plank position and just ran up and down for 5 mins, it must’ve been his new threads. Others fought till the end, although form was questioned and criticized by certain individuals, again, must’ve had something to-do with being a “cool kid”.

    PAX continued to the gym to perform 5 min wall-sits with 3 burpees to be performed during “rest periods”…it came as no surprise that yet another vest-donning PAX felt this was an unacceptable exercise and thus performed burpees for the duration while offering kind words of recommendation on form to the others.

    Final round of holds were done back at the rocks, Over head holds for 5 mins. This is where the majority of the “UHHHGGGSSSS…” were vocalized. I think everyone did these, but there was probably someone that chose to do something else, regardless of what they were wearing.

    Final exercise was a quick round of PAX’s choice of movements with the Rocks. We had squats, OHP, Big-boys, merkins and probably something else…it was delightful.

    COT with minimal announcements and intentions, special thanks for all that is past, present, and future.

    No AI were harmed in the making of this beatdown or BB.

  • Year of the Snake🐍 – from Thumb War

    Year of the Snake🐍-

    CHÚC Má»ȘNG NĂM MỚI
    (Happy Lunar New Year)

    I checked the field conditions when I got out there and felt it was dry enough for a field focused workout.

    As the pax gathered Bogey brought to everyone’s attention today is the start of the Year of the Snake which Hawg added happens every twelve years.

    Moseyed to center field for Warm-a-Rama:

    Abe Vigodas
    Low slow squats
    Grass Grabber
    SSH
    Mountain Climbers
    Parker Peters
    Thai fighters forward and back. I thought this was the spelling but Mayhem clarified during the warm up it’s Tie Fighters https://f3nation.com/post/tie-fighters

    The Thang – Dirty McDeuce

    4 sets of 3 exercises done to 12 reps 1st 2 exercises were on your own and the 3rd was on a 4 count.

    Mayhem – X Factor
    Hawg – Big Boys

    Finished up with burpees in the last minute to help Kilo with MABA Challenge

    Short mosey

    Naked moleskin:

    Mahatma had questions about Lunar New Year that we didn’t have answers too. Like what is the semblance of the wood snake.

    There was a soccer ball left on the field that mahatma initiated us kicking it around and passing until the end.

    My counting still needs work.

    Hawg was really pushing Kilo on deconstructing merkins.

    Hawg suggested I should have done a 12 animals themed workout

  • Motivating Yellboy – from Mayhem

    48°F, 3mph NE wind (feels like 38°F when you’re wet with sweat), 70% humidity

    PAX were a mix of anxious warriors and confused early risers who mistook this for a yoga class… and an FNG

    Warm-O-Rama:
    Windmills: 10 reps, which started with a demonstration to which Frac said ‘even little kids know how to do windmills’
    Grass Grabbers: 10 reps, which did not start with a demonstration, to which Frac said ‘why aren’t you demonstrating’, but then he attempted to touch the grass but just bent forward and looked like a confused flamingo
    Peter Parker Peters: 20 reps
    Tie Fighters: 10 reps count up, 10 reps count down
    Back on your face for a Mayhem special (I think it is new to all, and I think it will stick): Hip Slap Shoulder Tap Merkins, it is a 10-count exercise, 10 reps

    Thang 1: Snake the Bleachers with Some Mary
    Time to snake up and down the bleachers. But since we’re in F3, we added some Mary in between. 15 BB, half the bleachers, 15 V-ups, half the bleachers, 15 BB, half the bleachers, 15 V-ups, half the bleachers, 15 BB. 10ish bonus burpees for Kilo for finishing first.

    Thang 2: Sevens with Motivators-Burpees
    Start with 6 motivators and 1 burpee then 5 motivators and 2 burpees and so on.
    Motivator: full SSH, star hop, leg only, and a bunny hop

    Thang 3: BLIMPS
    This is when things really started getting… interesting. Blimps are just a nice way of saying “burpee but with a little extra ‘why did I do this to myself’ factor.”
    Rd1- 20 each (burpee, lunge, imperial walker, merkin, plank jack, squat) at each cone, with mode of transportation being bear crawl (of course), then mosey to midfield cone and back to start
    Rd2- 10 each, with mode of transportation duck walk (Triple not present to demonstrate proper form), then mosey to midfield cone and back to start
    Rd3- 5 each, but in the form of shuttle runs to each of the 6 cones then mosey to midfield cone and back to start

    But wait, there’s more…

    Thang 4: Ring of Fire
    We ended with the classic Ring of Fire. Three rounds. Al Gore to squats. Plank to merkins. Al Gore to burpees. The “fire” quickly turned into “fire in my quads.”

    Bogey enjoyed this beat down so much he claimed I stole his script for his upcoming Q on Monday.

    COT:
    We circled up, not to share deep philosophical musings, but to recover from the sheer trauma of the last 45 minutes and to get to know and name our FNG. Welcome, Yellboy! Kudos to Kilo for EH’ing. If Yellboy is half as committed as Kilo then we got ourselves another great PAX.

    Prayers for Boo Boo’s sister-in-law, Leigh Whitman’s family and Pai Gow’s father.

    Great to lead and try new things!
    Sign up to Q!
    Make it a point to EH this year!

    Conditions: Rainy, 53 degrees, windchill of 45, 95% humidity, wind 11 mph from NNE

    I woke up this morning to a post from Boss Keane on Slack. He’s a bit of a Luddite, so I was surprised. He rambled a bit about police response times and then said that the men off Pontiff had moved his rock pile and he wanted it moved back

  • Proposal Q – from Kilo

    YHC woke up this morning to a weather report from his soon to be best man who said “it’s freezing rain, are we doing this?” The reply “of course. F3 is rain or shine.” Today being YHC’s second Q and the day of the big ask, decided to keep it simple and do another Mogadishu Mile to remember the fallen of Blackhawk Down. It was rainy but warm and 9 HiMs started out for the warmarama and then to the thang.

    Pick up a rock, get to the gazebo

    4 rounds:
    19 ground to overhead
    19 front squats
    19 push-ups (one hand on the rock, then switch so 38)
    15 burpees
    run a 1/4 mile.

    All this was done with smiles and joy and the promise to show up this afternoon and try to talk some sense into my future fiancĂ©. It’s a great day to have a great day, gentlemen.

    COT and Announcements as well as a welcome to FNG, Freaky Fast who drove 12 hours yesterday for the occasion.

  • What’s better than 23-10? – from Rudy

    Temp: 42, Winds: 70+ mph (or that’s what it felt like).

    Hand Grenada looked around and asked “Who’s Q?” He should have known better, as YHC was decked out in full Irish gear, waiting to celebrate a long-overdue victory over an SEC team in a game that mattered. Grumbling from everyone, expect the latest Johnny-come-lately Bandwagon-hopping Irish fan, Hawg. As expected, Mahatma arrives in full LSU gear, celebrating his big win over a different green-and-gold team in their bowl game. Kilo chose this day to NOT wear his ND gear (though he stripped off outer layers to reveal the ND garments later). Two entirely hooded and disguised PAX opened their face masks just enough to reveal Pool Boy and Bogey, then closed up and recovered all exposed skin.

    After announcing the Irish theme, the PAX took off for the rocks. We passed a leprechaun-like figure in the gloom; Triple Shift grudgingly agreed to join us, as his KOT krewe had apparently abandoned him.

    Slow Stretches to warm up. Abe’s and Grass Grabbers both x7 (ND as a 7 seed), followed by 2 burpees (Georgia as a 2 seed). 23 Imperial Walkers to loosen the hips, 10 burpees. Then grab a rock and head to the football field.

    The Thang: 23-10. 23 reps, bearcrawl 25 yards (Architect astutely observes that it should have been 23 yards), 10 burpees, bearcrawl back. (Though Mr. Rogers seemed to replace a bearcrawl with a 100 yd dash out and back, in a 30lb vest)

    Overhead press, curls, rows, chest press, squats, kettle bells, BBSU, Monkey Humpers, Gas Pumps.

    Had to modify halfway changing bearcrawl due to time constraints. And because Mayhem positioned himself directly in YHC’s bearcrawl path

    Return the Rox, and Mosey back to the flag to meet the (absent…) KOT gang right at 615. Finish with COT – prayers for healing on the feast day of St. Andre Bessette.

  • Mr Rodgers Neighborhood “Venice Beach Crash Course Edition” – from Mr Rodgers

    Rolled into the gloom at 5:15 a.m., ready to grab a rock from the stash pile that would make Mr. Rodgers proud. Instead, the Knees Over Toes crew had apparently left me with a pile of pebbles. Refusing to settle for a rock fit for a garden gnome, I hopped on my bike and sped to the main rock pile. Found a man’s rock, loaded it up, and pedaled back in full beast mode—until I saw Bogey. Naturally, I flipped my bike and wiped out in a display of athletic grace (or lack thereof). Bogey looked genuinely concerned, but I popped up like a champ, pretending nothing happened while mentally checking for broken pride.

    Kenna brah rolled in with the kettlebell as requested, and we kicked things off with the disclaimer. The five pax made their way to “Mr. Rodgers’ Neighborhood Playground,” which Bogey suggested renaming “Venice Beach” (because pull-ups in the gloom are as close as we’re getting to Cali vibes).

    Warm-Up:
    10 Wife Pleasers
    10 Scorpions
    10 Low Slow Squats
    10 Peter Parkers
    10 Parker Peters
    25 Side Straddle Hops
    Once sufficiently loosened up, it was time to hit the stations. Here’s the breakdown:

    Stations Round 1-3: Thrusters, Kettlebell Swings, Pull-Ups, Burpees.
    Timer: Jog to the tower, up the stairs, and back. The station guys couldn’t stop until the timer returned—just enough time to question life choices.
    After three rounds, we swapped to:

    Stations Round 4: Curls with the rock, Press Ups, Dead Hang, Merkins.
    Finished one round of these, then headed back to the flag, victorious but slightly broken (in the best way).

    Closing:
    Namarama
    Announcements
    Prayers for the victims of the terrorist attack in the Quarter
    Group prayer for my bike crash and a collective “thankful to be alive and still kicking.”
    Moral of the story: Mr Rodgers rocks are heavy, bikes are tricky, and F3 camaraderie fixes everything.

  • Substiture teacher – from Kenna Brah

    In the foggy dew of the gloom where men grind out a new life, I approached the field with confidence. Putting on a beat-down worthy of Mr Rodgers is no small feat, but, chaos rules here and we were headed toward a great time together.

    Once the PAX had assembled, we mosey’d to the rocks We had a down ranger from Houston, DINGHY. A former NOLA native.
