  • Just a Simple Beat Down – from Fracsac

    YHC thought the arctic vortex was behind us, but the breezy conditions kept the gloom chilly.
    Brief disclaimer given then mosey to rock pile for warmup which consisted of mostly normal stuff. 5 burpees thrown in due to lack of clapping during grass grabbers.
    Grab a rock and head to field where cones are set up. Pax given a choice. Choose B or D. With D being the winner, we started a Dora 1…2…3.
    100 burpees 200 LBCs and 300 squats. Partner walks rock out predetermined distance, completed 5 x SSH and returns. Flapjack until complete.

    Ring of fire. OH press x 2 rounds, followed by ‘mericans x 2 rounds.

    Do some stuff at each cone. MoT between cones varied from lunge to bear crawl to Peter Parker’s.
    Stuff included Catalina wine mixers, squats, flutter kicks, big boi situps and Honest Abes.

    Return the rocks and head back to the flag.

    CoT

    NMM

  • 8 years and more to come – from Bongo

    Don’t know where to start from this morning, but overall a fun beatdown. Too much mumble chatter, mostly instigated through Bogey and Frac almost to point of harassment. But the Q moves on and stays focused on the job at hand as a leader. My exact (8) year anniversary is 1/30/2016, but was volunteered last week by Catfish for this week’s mothership so we’ll celebrate a week (or two early).

    The main theme, unknown until final COT was to go back to my first beatdown as an FNG and recreate that, or as close as I could get. Here is the former Workout, https://www.f3nola.com/2016/01/30/no-hawg-no-flag-but-time-for-tyson/. Another point, temperature was < 32 F which I think is one of the coldest mornings in the gloom I can recall. Despite this, (12) pax showed up ready and willing which any Q, as I am, would be thankful for today. Here we go: Boys got together – and we took off for the Peristyle. Circled up for our WARMUP COP. SSH x 25, Slow Squats x 10, Mountain Climbers x 25, and Imperial Walkers x 25 Arm circles X 10 each way. Circle Back up to visit our boy – Jack Webb. Push Ups/Air Press starting at 1, then 2, then 3, then 4 to 10 over at the great. Still way too cold and time to start moseying to NOMA pond. IC Dips x 20, Left leg step up x 2, Incline Mercans X 15, Right leg step up x 20, Dips x 20, Decline Mercans X 15 Box Jumps x 1… OYO with former story from my past I ain’t telling again…., no one is getting hurt under my watch! Long Mosey over the Football Field of Practice Track Eleven across the football field with running in middle, Burpees on one end, big boy sit ups on other. You know the math as I don’t need to explain. 5 rounds with Tyson. Sprint to the 50 yrd line do an exercise, then the goal line do an exercise, then back to the 50 and finish at the Goal line with a 4 set of the exercise. Rd 1 Burpees x 5, Rd 2 Jump Squats x 10, Rd 3 Peter Parkers x 15 each leg, Rd 4 Dying Roaches -x 20 total to keep it easy and finished Rd 5 Burpees X 5. Long mosey back to great lawn with quick stop at calf raise stand of stadium, Heisenburg counted us in. Great Lawn minimal Mary: Flutter Kicks X 20 and Hello Dolly X 20, arriving back to flag at 07:29:58. What a way for Q to keep us on time. COT went back through a reflection of my appreciation of what F3 has done form me in the last (8) years and how the (3) Fs (in whatever order) continue to bring me back. Many thanks for the opportunity to lead as always as I need to do it more. Here is to many years to come! See you on the radio.

  • Crabby Timers – from Mayhem

    Pool Boy originally had the Q. I don’t recall the excuse… he either had a family obligation or wanted to sleep in due to the 5% chance of a light mist. YHC arrived early to setup the cones.

    Disclaimer included the option to either push yourself or KnOT this morning.

    As soon as our feet hit the track for a mosey, the mumblechatter began as Q was reminded that The Uptowner is supposed to avoid running. Luckily, the Q didn’t care.

  • Objects on the field are heavier than they appear – from Kenna Brah

    With a truckload of HIM building gear YHC arrived to find 3 chilly PAX anxiously preparing for a BD,

  • Fitmas Part Deux, con Roca – from Bolt

    YHC saw the Q sheet open AGAIN and began to wonder what type of site Q runs the Uptowner—ah yes, that’d be YHC. Looking forward to Mayhem taking up the mantle in ‘24; it’s your time, brother!
    YHC came in hot with Satchmo and then had key fob issues to retrieve the JBL, further delaying our start such that Frac had to start warmorama.
    YHC entered the circle and being Fitmas season, decided Frac’s gift for keeping us on time would NOT be forcing him to consume the requisite Bolt warmorama song—many pax were pleased. All the usual stuff and then off to the rock pile to select a medium rock and off to the parking lot.
    The Thang:
    12 Days of Fitmas con roca.
    Day 1: Mosey across the parking lot with rock in rifle carry back and forth as days are added, SSH on the 6.
    Day 2: Diamond merkins
    Day3: Squat Thrusters, rock
    Day 4: Reverse Lunges (2:1, rock)
    Day 5: Blockees
    Day 6: Box Cutters
    Day 7: Tricep coupon presses
    Day 8: Plank Jacks
    Day 9: Overhead rock presses
    Day 10: Big Boy sit-ups
    Day 11: Curls
    Day 12: Mtn. Climbers

    Mr. Rogers got so far ahead of YHC that I accused him of skipping squat thrusters—nope, he’s just that much of a beast (wearing his weighted vest). At time and still completing the BD, we rushed back to the pile and then the flag, COT.

  • A Variety Pack – from Mahatma

    Looking at the open holes in the Q sheet YHC figured the only way to fill them is to step up one at a time.
    On the drive to El Diablo wheels were turning as to ideas of keeping the beatdown moving one “thing” after another. Always an effort to keep some blocks on hand they know doubt would be added to the mix. At 5:30 5 men were ready to go – dragging along the 2 blocks we headed to the football field to warm up. At some point during our initial stretch a 6 pax sauntered in only as a “Rebel” can!
    Warm Up
    Scantrons
    Side lungs
    Grass grabbers
    SSH
    Peter Parker Peter
    Shoulder Taps
    Mnt Man Poopers

    Bleacher run with 5 burpees at either end.

    10 minutes to move the block from one endzone and back – pretty simple huh

    2 teams of 3 pax and 1 block line up at the goal line
    all pax bear crawl to cadence (keeping a somewhat controlled pace) 1 pax rifle carries block out 20 yds returns to the bear crawling pax, next up runs ahead to the block and rifle Carries another 20 yds this continues through all pax until reaching the opposite goal line.

    Coming back repeat but Block Kong replaces the riffle carry.

    Completed in 6:28

    Mosey to the picnic pavilion

    365 (apparently there was a little miss understanding of the “6” and some pax substituted only 5 which makes a difference in 5 rounds)
    3 THREE Burpees
    6 SIX Box Jumps (step ups can be substituted, if you are in a comfort zone)
    5 FIVE Rounds
    Non Stop calling out each completed rounds
    Mr Rogers was the beast finishing 1st with a 20# vest!

    Circle Up for some Mary:
    V Holds
    Gas pump with Hello Dolly
    Dr W’s

    Mosey to the outhouse
    YHC was looking for the perfect wall and we found it.
    All pax started in a sqt position, 1 by 1 each pax assumed a balls to the wall (this was done VERY loosely) and then wall crawled from one end to the other.
    Rinse and Repeat
    Now for some descending JackWebs
    20 air press 10 merkins
    18 then 9
    16 then 8
    And so on.

    Mosey to the bleacher corral for more Mary:
    V Ups
    Alt sitting straight leg touches
    X factor
    WWI SU
    Freddie Mercuries

    Lat pulls along the bleachers
    Not enough room for decline merkins yet even with some belly aching that time should have expired we had 5 minutes!

    Back to the field – a block under pull race of course there was controversy as to what line and who got cheated so we all won 5 burpees to finish up.

    T Claps to MacGyver for posting after he completed his overnight shift. This lad is a solid example of what young men could use as an example.

    COT – as we gathered in the cage what to our surprise a clean sweat less triple shift bounds into the circle bringing our # to 7! Be ready and don’t take anything for granted! Thanks be to God!
