  • ChatGPT build me a beatdown… – from Hogs Breath

    Listening to one of the F3 podcasts a few weeks back, gave YHC the idea to use AI to create this morning’s beatdown. So I got onto ChatGPT and entered in exactly what I wanted; I said we’d be utilizing Heritage Park [007] for 45 minutes, dropped in the Exicon and got a quick response for this beatdown. There was a few tweakings but overall, it was a good workout.

    The warm-up;
    50 side hop straddle
    15 windmill
    Arm circles
    10 squat to overhead

    The Thang;

    1. Coupon Squats – 20 reps
    2. Merkins- 20 reps
    3. Overhead coupon Presses – 20 reps
    4. Bent over Rows – 20 reps
    5. Mosey around the circle loop

    Lather, rinse, and repeat for 3 rounds. Then a second circuit of;

    1. Curls for the Girls – 20 reps
    2. Freak Nasty – 20 reps
    3. Coupon Chest Press – 20 reps
    4. Run the circle loop

    We were able to get in two rounds before we had to call this because of time.

    Great beatdown to begin the week! I don’t know if I’ll be using AI in the future to create any beatdowns, but it was a fun experiment.

  • Bring up the 6 – from Hogs Breath

    YHC arrived at the 007, to find Bumper and an Fng doing a pre-thing!
    Pass interference and YHC jumped right in!

    Warm up with some toy soldiers, butt, kickers, arm, circles, and SSH.

    The Thang
    Everything was built around the number 6. We began an Indian run, last man would perform burpees then sprint to the front. We continued for 12 minutes.
    Then mosey over to the playground, one pax would perform six pull-ups, while the other pax performed rest, plank, and LBC.
    There were modifications, but still did amazing and kept up!
    Then back out to the big field, cones were placed out about 40 yds and we performed six sprints, one at a time, while the others performed some exercises again in a rotating fashion.
    The last 12 minutes was the deck of death, 40 seconds on 30 seconds rest. Lather, rinse and repeat.

    During the cot when it came time to name our Fng, he voluntarily told his most embarrassing story. He told us of throwing up at a bachelor party after drinking Crown Royal.
    So Royal Ralph was born!

  • The Farmer [walk] in the Dell’ – from Hogs Breath

    A beatdown based on farmers walks, so naturally, farmers in the Dell!

    YHC arrived at the 007 to find Bumper already walking laps!

    It ended up the two of us.
    Warm up, some stretching and some IC exercises.

    The Thang
    One pax would farmers walk while the other would do an excercise (burpees, merkins, squats, LBC, seal-jacks, raise the roof, and irkens). Once the farmer-walking pax set down the coupons, pax one would take off in a sprint and meet up. The pax would then switch places. We were able to get three laps around the circle.
    With about 10 mins left, both pax went on an extended farmers walk with the coupons.

    Ended with COT

  • Before and After – from Charmin

    Before we started today, YHC decided that since we are all doing our own thing, we should make sure that we start at end with the same number of people, specifically that we start and end with the same people (assuming we don’t EH someone along the way). Well today we started with 13 pax. A joke was made that we’d end up with 14 since Triple Shift would be late. After some laughs we all took off.

    KnOTers went their way, Kennan Brah went to his car, and the herd of runners, at Hawg’s request went on a “slow jog”. Towards the end of the run, YHC came back to the track and Lo and beheld Triple Shift and ended up running a lap with him.

    Once we all came back to the CoT, and after a quick count-o-rama heavy jokes were made at Triple Shift’s expense.

    Ended with prayers for family and in thanksgiving for healing.

  • Block City – from Mahatma

    Beautiful Morning in Metry
    YHC arrived 5 minutes early and decided to review an article and got side tracked, looking up it had just turned 5:30. With haste YHC jumped out the truck, grabbed 2 blocks from the back and headed to the cage. The Knots crew was already peeling off, and 6 pax awaited…..after a quick disclaimer (while tying shoes) we headed to the field.

    Warm Up variation of count:
    Windmills
    Good Morning Stretch
    Burpees
    SSH
    Mnt Climbers
    Peter Parker Peter

    Head to bleachers – Merkin climb up X 2 then transition to bleacher snake run 3 burpees at the gym end then work our way back 3 burpees on the other.

    Push up ladder with block crucible to finish, rinse and repeat

    Bear Crawl at 5 yard increments from goal line to the 50, then 25 merkins
    Mosey to the other end of the field – then mosey from goal line to the 30 – perform 10 Carolina Drydocks – bearcrawl to the other 30 – 10 more Carolina Drydocks sprint to the goaline.

    Somewhere we did Indian Runs with reverse block pass.

    Then block slide

    Finished with circle of block – curls and tricep extensions

    A little Mary mixed in. Back to the cage with 2 minutes unused – we filled it with 5 Burpees and some gas pumpers

    COT – Be a Good Samaritan

  • Can you see it? – from Charmin

    Today was all about seeing. Seeing 16 PAX show up, seeing Rudy not read the “No Parking”, and YHC and others seeing how hard we could push ourselves in the gloom.

    Typical, KnOTers, Stretchers, and Runners were there.

    Ended with COT emphasizing that we are all figured a spiritual battle and asked for our guardian angels’ help.

  • Descend the Ladder con Roca – from Bolt

    Warmorama of the usual; Vagabond erroneously thought Kenna Brah had the Q and I’m sure regretted showing up for another of my musically schizophrenic playlists.
    The Thang: Descending Ladder with a rock (10 reps/exercise down to 9, 8, etc. reps/exercise): Squat (coupon), OH press, Curls, chest press, tricep press.
    Begin at first tree along side the parking lot facing the gym (it was here that Mahatma took off to second tree to do exercise one—not the directions!), Carry rock to second tree for second exercise where we all paid five burpee penalty for the transgression.

    At fifth tree plank on the six, turnaround and head back the opposite way with one less rep/exercise finishing at starting point. Rinse/repeat until we’ve descended the ladder.

    It was prior to starting round six that I introduced the skip exercise rule: call out, “skip” and roll Deca die of pain for our fate that replaces the skipped exercise, advance to next tree and resume the ladder. Mr. Rogers went first, followed by several others; we did ultimately finish the ladder in time to return rocks and circle up at the flag for Rochamburpee until time: winner does five merkins, loser does three burpees.

    Honored to lead and totally spent; this one sucked. COT.
