  • Good with Coupons, Bad With Counting – from Logo

    A Foggy Morning Beatdown was enjoyed by 11 Pax in the friendly confines of Pontiff Field. We started with a warm-up of Side straddle hops, grass grabbers, Hillbilly’s, Abe Vigodas, and arm circles. Moseyed to the field with our rocks for a little “It’s all about the Benjamins workout 25 chest press, 25 walking lunges (with coupon) 25 chest press, 25 lunges back to the start, planking for the 6. 25 Curls, 25 walking lunges (with coupon), 25 curls, 25 lunges back to start, planking for the 6. 25 shoulder presses, 25 walking lunges (with coupon), 25 shoulder presses, 25 walking lunges back to start, planking for the 6. 25 kettle bell swings, 25 walking lunges (with coupon), 25 kettle bell swings, 25 walking lunges back to start, planking for the six. Then we moseyed over to the parking lot and did a farmer’s carry relay race. Unfortunately, the pax had trouble counting 1,2,1,2,1,2, so we ended up with 6 2’s and 4 1’s, so the 1’s took the race. Each pack took a relay turn farmer carrying 2 coupons the length of the parking lot and back while the remaining pax did rock work and Mary – chest press , LBC’s , Shoulder press, box cutters, curls, American hammer. Losing team was supposed to do 20 burpees, but we ran out of time, so we’ll make those up next time. Back to flag for COT.

  • It’s Too Slippery…that’s what she said – from Fast Tax

    El Diablo – 2/16/22

    Given the amount of unflattering commentary aimed in the Q’s direction prior to disclaimer, YHC knew it was going to be a day for penalty burpees. With disclaimer said, we moseyed out of the gate toward the rock pile. After the first stop for penalty burpees (Rudy), YHC called an audible and dispersed the warmups throughout the mosey to the rock pile: Abe Vigodas, mosey, Happy Jacks, punitive burpees (Hokie), mosey, Hairy Rockettes, final mosey to rock pile.

    After medium to heavy rock selection, we headed to the football field for the first exercise of the morning and a Fast Tax favorite, Field of Dreams.

    FOD: Partner up, PAX 1 begins to traverse the field as follows: lunge with rock to 25yd line, drop rock, do 10 merkins, bear-crawl to 75 yd. line, do 10 Crab Merkins (aka extended wife pleaser merkins, i.e. pushups while holding the crab position), lunge remaining 25 yds and do 50 BBS at goal line, repeat back. Meanwhile, PAX 2 does 15 rows, 15 curls, and 15 O/H press then runs to switch with PAX 1 (without bringing rock) who runs back and does the rows, curls, etc. Cycle repeats until they are back at the starting point.

    William Wallace on the tennis courts, previously known as Rock the Court, was the next event, this time without rocks to avoid the wrath of the tennis pros.

    WW: Divide into 4 teams, one at each corner. One PAX member from each team runs to the center and performs 10 reps of the first of five selected exercises (Burpees, Crab-Merkins, Plank Jacks, Floyd Mayweathers, and Absolutions) while the rest of the Pax are in a low plank (or other variations of plank). When he returns to his corner and low-planks, the next teammate runs to the center and does 10 of the same exercise. This repeats until all PAX on the team has had a turn, then the cycle repeats for the next exercise, and so on, until all five are complete.

    With time to spare, we headed to the playground for the Playground Scramble , another chance for YHC to deny his 50 years by proving he could still act like a child.

    The Playground Scramble went something like this: All PAX start in plank while first PAX soldier crawls up the spiraled tubular slide, down the ramp, through the small tunnel, then arm over arm across the monkey bars, across the balance beam, arm over arm across the next two overhead bar things then side scramble across the rock wall, all while not touching the ground. Anyone touching the ground had to do 20 burpees. Next PAX can start up the slide after the PAX ahead of him exits the slide at the top. PAX waiting at the beginning or the end had to do continuous BBS or plank until everyone made it through…at least that was how it was supposed to go.
    I think only two or three PAX, including yours truly, actually made it up the slide, the rest complained about it being too slippery [that’s what she said] and that YHC only made it b/c he was scrawny, and other lame excuses… Needless to say, there were a lot of burpees being done.

    As the last PAX completed the course, time was running out, so to the rock pile we headed, followed by a quick mosey to the flag for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer. Coffeteria at PJs followed.

    Thanks for the fellowship and the opportunity to lead!

  • The Inaugural Burpee C-Note Uptowner – from Rudy

    Our illustrious (or infamous?) site Q, Bolt, advised YHC that starting this week there is a new plan for The Uptowner. This new plan involved “Get Down, Get Up” and “Make Frac really happy!”. Yup, we all guessed it. Burpees. The BC Uptowner. Burpee C-Note. 100 Burpees need to get folded into the workout. So YHC thought and thought and thought. How could we possibly get 100 burpees in over 45 minutes? HOW?

    PAX (some who knew of this new plan, and some that were blissfully ignorant – Pai Gow asking whether it was too late to go to The Goldmine) appeared in the gloom around Vagabond’s 14 foot flag. Welcome back Charmin – great to see you becoming a regular! Scantron shows up with The Wood. Seriously, this time. Not Hawgcycle’s “toothpick”. But a real log. 9 PAX heard the disclaimer (including post-hate Disclaimer, arriving “on-time, millenial style”, but NOT including the aforementioned Frac). And we were off.

    Circle up for warmup. Some stretching. Welcome Mambi! 10 PAX.

    SSH x42: 42nd day of 2022. On this Day – 42:1 longshot Buster Douglas KOs Mike Tyson in 1992.

    Elbow Plank for 2 minutes, as PAX discuss whether Charmin (27 yo) or Disclaimer (30 yo) even know who “Mike Tyson” was (besides being a movie star). Bolt produces wildly funny and 100% inappropriate joke that will not be repeated here.

    Thing 1: Lucky 7s. Alas, the morning temperature was 44 degrees. So the Lucky Bear outfit stayed home (only appears at 40 degrees and under), much to Hokie Pokey’s disappointment. But we’ll repeat the drill. 7 minutes of 7 burpees on the minute, complete the minute with an exercise that YHC calls out. The resting is at the end. Half-way through, Macgyver appears – 11 PAX! Last round includes 8 burpees, so we get an even 50. Halfway home.

    Mosey to the gym. Mambi and Macgyver nominated to haul the log. Mambi unceremoniously throws it at YHC’s feet upon arrival. Grab some wall. Donkey Kicks and Shoulder Taps (with feet up on the wall). 3 rounds of 10 x 10 each. Shoulders are burning. Lets keep that going.

    Mosey to the gym steps. YHC has called this “The Italians scaling the Alps”. Up the stairs, 5 merkins at the top, then job to the bottom and plank. How do we go up the stairs? Bear Crawl, Crab Walk, Crawl Bear, Walk Crab. Then we gotta go down the Alps. So do the same, only in reverse order. YHC thanks Hawgcycle for the inspiration of doing something as dumb as Walk Crab up a hill. Other pax do not thank Hawg, but instead throw verbal insults at him.

    Back to the Field. Repeat Lucky 7s to get the rest of the way to 100 burpees. Halfway through, Hawg decides to quit and head home. Sorry if this was too hard for you. The other 10 PAX slog through to the finish line.

    28 J Los and 25 Penguins round out the day. Mosey back to the flag for our COT.

  • Bricks & Bats but without the bat – from Hokie

    It was a very pleasant 62 degrees this AM upon our arrival to Bringing the wood except we had NO WOOD with @Fast Tax choosing to blow off YHC’s Q.

    Thank you to the seven Pax who did show up and special thanks to Rudy for bringing a trunkload of bricks in his transport vehicle.

    The disclaimer was followed with instructions for each Pax top grab two bricks and not let them go for the entire 45 minutes of fun

    Warm up, with bricks in hand…

    arm circles, in cadence, forward x5
    arm circles, in cadence, backwards x5
    seal claps, in cadence, x5
    overhead claps, in cadence, x5
    Moroccan night club, in cadence, x10

    Bob n weave (upper cuts) x 10

    we then took a mosey to the track where we moseyed WITH Bricks in tow, from this goal line, through the end zone to the other goal line…. then ran backwards to the 50, mosey forward to the goal line, through the end zone and to the other goal line then sprint to the 50 and mosey to the starting point (1/4 mile loop)

    Each time we finish the quarter mile loop, shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 1. 1 minute shoulder taps, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 2. 1 min Floyd Mayweather, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 3. 1 min Nolan Ryans, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 4. 1 min Newton’s Cradle, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 5. 1 min Bat wings, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 6. 1 min Hand Release Merkins, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 7. 1 min Pointers, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    Round 8. 1 min Toe Taps, 1/4 mile loop (as above) shoulder taps waiting on the six

    That is 2.25 miles for Run Cajun Run participants

    Circle of Trust where we named our FNG Charmin and lifeted up all those dealing with illness and especially those battling cancer.

    As we started our mosey to the car, Fast Tax showed up and brought the wood and apologized for Benadryl and snoozing through alarms.

    Thanks for the honor to lead

  • Can we do 1 round of BLIMPS for 45 min? – from Mambi

    YHC signed up on the Q sheet weeks prior to the actual Q. The night before, YHC looked at the weather forecast and noticed it just might be the coldest day of the year as well as wet. On top of that YHC was notified that we will have 2 PAX joining down range. Ethanol and Sgt. Crack from F3 East Alabama. Knowing the boys from Alabama was joining YHC knew he had to pull out a beat down they would remember. So before hitting the rack for the night, YHC create list of exercise for the beat down.
    At 5:30 am YHC did the disclaimer and instructed PAX to grab a rock at the rock pile then head to the parking lot.
    Once at the parking lot, circled up for warmups 10 minutes of your typical warmup exercises. Ended with a long over extended arm exercise. Just had to do it.
    YHC gave the description for THANG, with a few PAX confused on the concept, so a further explanation was needed. PAX had a better understanding, so we go it on.
    YHC pulled this right from the F3 Nation’s Exicon
    Hindenburg BLIMPS.
    Modified version of BLIMPS. Done on a field (we did it in the Parking lot). Perform exercise at corner #1, sprint to corner #2, perform exercise. Sprint to corner #3 perform exercise. Then to corner #4, exercise and then back to corner #1. Plank it up until all have finished. That’s one round. Round 1 – 10 Burpees; Round 2 – 20 Lunges; Round 3 – 30 Imperial Walkers; Round 4- 40 Merkins; Modifications: Round 5 – 50 Plank (we did plank Jacks at corner #1 and corner #2, and 50 Squats at corner #3 and corner #4.
    YHC looked at the timer and it took the entire 35 minutes to complete the Hindenburg BLIMPS. If you are looking for something to do for your next Q, try this. The rest of the PAX will love you for it.
    With time expiring we gather our rocks and drop them off at the rock pile and return to the flag for COT.
    Announcements and Pray.
