  • The Daniel – from Kilo

    YHC woke up ready to Q, ready to pick up the pace to get through this week and ready to honor one of our fallen heroes. Inspired by The Architect’s callout a few weeks ago to Q more this was my 2nd Q in as many weeks. And so on the Eve of El Diablo, YHC did what all good non professional trainers do… googled “hero workouts” and scrolled a little bit until the Daniel popped up. The PAX came out from the gloom, some in cars, some on foot coffee in hand, some on bikes and we began the Thang.

    The THANG:

    WOR: SSH, GG, Hillbilly’s, Slow Pagodas, Imperial Walkers, and finished with some TIE Fighters

    @ the Playground
    5 Rounds: 10 pull-ups, 10 merkins, hold a plank and rotate

    Mosey to the track for a 400 m Washington Football Team Run

    Rock Pile Partners: 10 thrusters, merkins, 11 thrusters, merkins

    Mosey to the track for 800 m on your own

    Different partners: 10 squats, merkins, 11 squats, merkins

    Started a Washington Football Team run but cut it short, PAX were beginning to think something was wrong with YHC… moseyed to a wide spot in the road,

    20 count merkin Ring of Fire
    Broga
    10 count merking Ring of Fire (lest Vagabond not feel like he was exercising)

    Finished with COT: Gratitude for community of F3

  • Workout – from Vagabond

    Mr. Rogers Q was not in the neighborhood so I took it and did a modified dirty mcdeuce with rocks around gym with burpees sprinkled in.

  • Cold Wally Running – from Fracsac

    The Wally run happened the day after the Old Metry mosey with a temperature of 32 degrees with a brisk north wind creating a feels like environment of 21 degrees. Many topics discussed including a lot of new builds and homes for sale. Hawg suggested we purchase the John Goodman house for $5.5M and turn it into an F3 house. YHC graciously offered to give a $20, so I’m sure it’ll happen.

  • Super Mothership – from Thumb War

    Super Mothership

    Pax (7)
    Bogey
    Tool
    Abacus
    Kenna brah
    Chris FNG – PETA
    Colonol Mustard

    YHC arrived early to set up a football field.

    Convened at the Flag for a lighter than usual PAX for Mother Ship partly due to the IOAM event on the bayou.

    Moseyed to the Peristyle for a Warm Up where a couple of late arrivals met us.

    Warm-a-Rama:
    Slow Abe Vogodas 4 count on each side

    Grass grabbers
    Hillbillies
    Side straddle hops
    Mountain climbers
    Tie fighters
    Mayhem merkins

    Moseyed to Big Lawn for Thang 1:

    Red Barchetta – esque – instead we exercised song Purple Rain kicked off by the Fox Sports NFL theme song. This was the start of a playlist through the workout of artists that performed at Super Bowl halftimes/

    100 Yard Dash then 100 overhead presses, run back to start point to plank/wait for six; 75 yard dash then 75 plank jacks, run back to start point to plank/wait for six; 50 yard dash then 50 LBCs, run back to start point to plank/wait for six; 25 yard dash then 25 Merkins, run back to start point to plank/wait for six; 10 yard dash then 10 burpees, run back to start point and plank/wait for six.

    YHC brought a football 🏈 that couldn’t be dropped by the Pax for the remainder of the workout. If it hit the ground, 2 penalty burpees.

    Mosey to Baby Foundry for Thang 2: Pull Ups and Planks

    We split in 2 groups or tandems. With the off number YHC was a single and “ready to mingle” per Bogey. Bogey and Abacus made quite the cute couple.

    Half are doing pull ups or back work while others are doing a plank. YHC used a Tabata timer for 45 secs of work and 15 secs of rest for 8 cycles.

    Mosey to NOMA Fountain for Thang 3: Bench work in cadence

    Box jumps
    Bulgarian Split squats
    Dips
    Incline Merkins
    Derkins
    Gas pumpers

    Mosey to the Flag. With about 3-4 mins remaining. We did a dealers choice of Mary.

    COT:

    We prayed for Tool’s wife and the city hosting the Super Bowl this weekend and gave thanks to impact of F3.

    FNG Chris who is Kenna Brah’s nephew was in town for work and is big carnivore and hunter so was officially named PETA. He calls Dallas home and committed to more workouts in the gloom in Dallas to certify it.

  • The Natty That Wasn’t – from Rudy

    32 degrees this am. One last night of freezing temps. YHC was parked in by his son, so instead of the Mini, Rudy Jr’s Jeep was the car of choice. Gotta say – I love the heated steering wheel. 15 PAX (including 2 DR visitors) braved the cold to join up at the Mothership.

    YHC had signed up for this Q on the hope that he would be celebrating the first Notre Dame National Championship in 36 years. Alas, while the Irish put up a good fight, it wasn’t meant to be. So the pre-planned Natty Q will remain on the shelf until next year. But YHC still brought the full Irish gear to stay warm and celebrate a good year.

    The Thang:

    Head to the Peristyle for some warm up exercises. The usual stuff. Some PAX grumbled that we didn’t do enough Peter Parkers, so YHC attempted to address their concerns with the Parker Peters.

    Head to the Great Lawn to celebrate MABA by getting our 100 burpees in.

    BUT FIRST: to please Catfish, lets go roll around in the frost covered grass for a quick round of X Factors. 12 PAX held a plank while waiting for Mayhem, Bongo and Triple Shift to decide to join on the grass (somehow, they thought “Circle up on me” meant “Go lie on the bricks over there”)

    OK, back to the Thang. 10 rounds. Each round starts with 10 Burpees, then “mode of transportation” to the cones (about 40 yards out), followed by Mosey back.

    Run, Nur (backwards run), Bear Crawl, Crab Walk, Lunge Walk, Duck Walk, Karaoke, Broad Jump, Partner Wheelbarrow (x2)

    NEXT: Mosey over to the rocks and partner up. At this point, YHC owned up to the fact that these next exercises were untested, but he’d read about them online. Lets try it and see what happens. Each exercise for 90 seconds.

    * Rock-passing Russian Twists
    * Leg Circles around partner’s feet (i.e., you both do leg circles but don’t hit each other)
    * Rock-passing Lunges (crowd favorite)
    * Partner Squats (only about 30 seconds – this one won’t be seen again)
    * Rock-passing Russian Twists the other way
    * Rock-passing back-to-back Wall sits
    * Might have been one more, can’t recall

    Mosey back to the Flag for COT.

    Several PAX praying for recent losses. Frac’s mom. Colonel Mustard’s good friend, Officer Bobby from SH, YHC’s FIL’s good friend Chip. It’s a natural part of life to be celebrated, but doesn’t always make it easier for those of us still here. Welcome them home, Lord. And grant us peace and serenity in their absence.

  • Remembering Pearl Harbor – from Fracsac

    6 pax at the Mothership to remember the day that dragged the USA in WWII.
    47 degrees with a light wind and dry conditions.
    Warmup up at the peristyle.

    First fact dropped: At 6:37 a.m. on the morning of December 7th, 1941, the Wickes-class destroyer USS Ward attacked and sank a Ko-hyoteki-class midget submarine near the entrance to the harbor, officially making it not only the first shot fired on that day, but the first American shots in the War in the Pacific. The sub’s periscope was spotted above the water by the minesweeper Condor, which alerted the crew of the Ward, who opened fire on the intruder.

    Pax asked official local time the Japanese invasion started. Burpees for being wrong: On December 7, 1941, at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time, a Japanese dive bomber bearing the red symbol of the Rising Sun of Japan on its wings appears out of the clouds above the island of Oahu.

    Mosey to the great lawn. Next fact: 37 pairs or trios of brothers were assigned to the USS Arizona. Of those, 23 sets were killed, constituting 62 men.

    5 burpees per corner with 8 burpees at last corner
    Bear crawl short sides

    Pax asked how many Americans were killed this day. Within 300 would not bring on a penalty. We did 10 x 8 count body builders. FYI: Ultimately, 2,403 Americans died in the attack. A total of 18 ships were lost or damaged, including the USS Arizona, which still leaks oil from beneath the war memorial in the harbor. All this damage was inflicted in just two short hours.

    18 big boi sit-ups then run to bridge by Cafe Du Monde. Rinse and repeat.

    Pax asked what North American country first declared war on Japan? Penalty of 10 x 8 count body builders for wrong answer. It was Canada!
    FYI: Japan’s invasion of Hong Kong began the morning of December 8th, 1941. Hawaii’s timezone is 18 hours behind, meaning that while British, Indian, and Canadian forces defended against the Japanese forces, war between Canada and Japan was already underway before the first bombs fell on Pearl Harbor. As a result of the Hong Kong invasion as well as the surprise assault on Canada’s North American ally, Prime Minister Mackenzie King (above) declared that a state of war existed with Japan, which preceded President Roosevelt’s address by mere hours.

    How long was famous FDR “Day of Infamy” speech? 7 minutes!
    3 minutes of the suck, 1 minute rest, 3 minutes of the suck.

    In Canada what is a 2-4? Wrong answer, so 10 x 8 count body builders. It’s a case of beer! 24 pack…

    Run the four corners again with 4 burpees at each corner.

    Circle up for Mary.

    It was an honor to lead!

  • Another Q for Sale – from Fracsac

    12 pax, including 1 DR that goes by the name Fuzzy, gathered at the Mothership to maintain their journey to live right.
    Disclaimer than mosey to the great lawn for a warmup.
    We tossed the frisbee and did some stuff.

    Broke out the big deck of cards. 4 pax called out for an exercise based on the suit.

    At about the midpoint of the beatdown YHC brought back “The Q is for sale!”
    5 burpee buy in, then roll the die to lead that exercise IC. From that point do as you like, the Q is yours. Only rule is it can’t be bought back and forth.
    Everyone kept to the cards for the most part afree purchase of the Q. Any mistake or upset of rules led to burpees. We did a lot of burpees.

    Time up, back to the flag

    COT

    – you know there were a lot of burpees when Catfish asked how many we did so far somewhere in the beat down
    – coffeteria enjoyed by many with the runners and many others that either fartsacked, were on IR, or just took the day off. Regardless, fellowship falls within F3, so come on out even if you don’t workout

  • Field Trip – from Tinkles

    After the excitement of last weeks Q vs Q the pax showed up expecting another well organized beat down. Much to everyone’s surprise there was no Q. After brief shrugs I was appointed and off we went!

    Warm up in front of Loyola:

    Grass grabbers, imperial walkers, and SSHs complete.

    BLIMPS down the Avenue. A progression of BLIMPS at each cross street to Daneel Park.

    Lovely grass in the park made a great location for burpee and jump squat ring of fire. Voluntary Mary followed.

    Back down St. Charles with run sprint alternating at cross streets. Cross street with a stop light: 5 burpees.

    Bench work at the fountain: advanced wife pleasers (as if!), right and left leg power ups, decline merkins, dips.

    COT: gratitude for great weather, prayers for hurricane victims in FL, thanks for each other!

  • Seafood Gumbo (i.e. No Andouille) 2024-08-03 – from Catfish

    Conditions – Hot & Humid, just like an August morning in Southeast Louisiana should be
    The Thang:
    To our great sorrow, our brother Douille was unable to make the workout this morning, so Mayhem started us off with a mosey to the peristyle for a warmup:
    Abe Vigodas x 10in cadence
    Grass Grabbers x 10 in cadence
    Tie Fighters (right leg forward, forward arm circles) x 10 in cadence
    Tie Fighters (left leg forward, backward arm circles) x 10 in cadence
    Peter Parker Peters x 10 in cadence
    Crab Cakes x 10 in cadence
    Q got passed off to Mr. Rogers, who brought the PAX over to the south side of the Great Lawn for a 5-exerice Dora. PAX paired up for cumulative 50 bupees, 100, merkins, 150 squats, 200 side-straddle hops, and 250 flutter kicks (1 is 1). Other (non-exercising) PAX ran across the Lawn and back (the long way).
    After this, Q got handed off to Hokey, who took the PAX to the East side of the Lawn for 11s, with 10 8-counts on the east side (10 to start) and 1 X-factor on the west side. PAX ran backwards across the field going east to west (because 8-counts were counting down) and forwards going west to east (because X-factors were counting up).
    Once this was completed, Q was handed to Catfish to bring things to a close. PAX got their heart rate up with 5 burpees OYO, then Side Straddle Hops (20 in cadence), then Imperial Squat Walkers (10 in cadence), then Bonnie Blairs (10 in cadence). PAX got down to faces for Jack Webbs. Catfish can’t count so good, so the count on these was 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,12, and 15 merkins, with a corresponding 2x set of air presses. PAX got back up for 5 burpees, then back to the flag for COT.
