  • Do what ya wanna – from Charmin

    All who came did according to their talents
    getting up and pushing through the challenge
    Kennah Brah brought a new guy
    His Vices he wants to decry,
    and a CPA, so we named him Off-Balance

  • Don’t wait – Let’s Geaux – from Mahatma

    Typically Monday…..Blessed to be up for the start of a new week happy to be headed to the real RC. Pulled up 1 minute to spare walked into the bullpen and saw the look of something missing…..who’s the Q! Snooze but he’s a no show, who’s taking it – all it took was 3 seconds of silent indecision – it’s now 5:31 I’m Mahatma and your Q “Let’s Geaux”! To which there was well what about…..too late we were on the move to the rock pile.

    Circle up – pax community round robin warm up: most was the usual stuff yet one stood out by Kenabrah a combination of Imperial Squat Hillbilly FAILURE yet to his credit you don’t succeed without them. Triple shift had Tenderloin attempting one the warm ups which took him another 3 to get up from. Yet again success through making the effort out of a comfort zone.

    Everyone get a medium rock then mosey to the tree field – line up, everyone Kong to the other side. So many pax just love the idea that the original Kong is similar to “murder bunnies” come on man!!!

    Mosey to the front of the gym – everyone was warmed up now.

    Let’s Geaux
    40 OHP then drop your rock and head to the wall and perform 5 pecker to the wall hand stands
    Lap around the gym
    30 squats – 4 pecker to the wall HS
    Lap around
    20 front raises – 3 P to the wall HS
    Lap around
    10 man makers (Charmin is still trying to figure that out) – 2 P2TWHS
    Lap
    As Pax completed join in for rock mary
    ** while the above took place TripleShift and Kenabrah were inspiring Tenderloin to turn over a new mental leaf

    Pax on the wall 3 rounds of running man to sitting wall air press

    Rtn rocks

    2 – 3 rounds of Mary

    Head to the flag

  • Running Instead of Stretching – from Charmin

    YHC came out expecting a stretch session decided to run a mile before the workout. Fortunately, when 5:30 came, Pai Gow was the only other HIM, so we decided to run.

    Overall, it was good to push ourselves in the gloom.

  • Heavy Lifting @ el Diablo after Valentine’s Day – from Charmin

    Realizing that many of the beatdowns recently have been lifting heavy when it comes to F1 and that it would be the day after Valentine’s day, YHC wanted to have a beatdown that pushed the Pax physically while also encouraging them to grow closer with some F2.
    Disclaimer given by YHC and did a quick countoff. YHC did advise the Pax that they would have to remember this number for later.

    We all took off towards the rock pile.

    Abe Slow-godas x 10
    SSH (with a pause) x 20 This required a bit of an explanation and a couple of the Pax seemed to struggle with this and remembering their number from before.
    IW x 20
    Hillbillies x 20
    Grass Grabbers x 10

    The Thang:

    Everyone grab a medium-ish rock and partner up based on the numbers from before.
    Do a partner exercise. Then while moseying around the park and carrying the rock, answer the question with your partner. Be okay with silence for a period.

    Exercise: Overhead press x 100 (groups of 10 alternating)
    Question: Why do you come to F3?

    E: Squat x 100 (with rock, groups of 10 alternating)
    Q: How has F3 changed you for the better?

    E: Bench Press x 100 (groups of 10 alternating)
    Q: How have you changed F3 for the better?

    E: Indian Merkins on the levee (just one for those keeping track at home)
    No question, just silence while walking back to the mound; not sure if Mambi or Hokie understood this, but most seemed to get it.

    E:200 Triceps extensions (groups of however many it took to get it done)
    Q: How has losing someone close to you affected you?
    Dropped off the rocks, and saw Mahatma and Hand Grenada doing Mary so figured I would help them out

    E: 100 flutter kicks (2 is 1, groups of 10)
    Q: What’s your least favorite Mary exercise?
    Back to the flag.

    Ended with 10 Penguins since we had a minute, and since those are YHC’s favorite Mary exercise and since we needed to get to 6:15.

    Prayed for those who need it and for those we have lost.

  • Mardi Gras Mambo Misery – from Bolt

    IMHO, Mardi Gras is the greatest holiday of the year so YHC decided to bring a little bit of that “only in New Orleans” flavor to the Gloom this morning where seven pax showed up. Krewe of PAX members assembled at mid field to ready ourselves for the parade which a couple getting held up briefly by the train. Warm up of the usual stuff except with Mardi Gras music. Time for the Krewe of PAX to meander along the route as there would be inevitable stoppages during which we would pass time with exercises.

  • Another Limerick and a Joke – from Charmin

    Rucker rucked and runners ran
    But nowhere was my regional Nantan
    Compared to Bolt us ruckers were slowpokes
    But to make up for it, YHC told a joke
    But but by the end, we were all a better man

    The joke:

    Two cowboys are riding through the desert and are running out of food
    The first cowboy calls out because he sees a short tree with bacon hanging from it.
    Delighted he starts running towards it. Before the second cowboy can react, the first cowboy is shot from out of nowhere.
    The second cowboy, pauses and screams out, “That wasn’t a bacon tree, it was a ham bush!”
