  • Six Strong at the Foundry

    6 dedicated men posted in the gloom on a chilly 39 degree Wednesday morning.  YHC was listed as the Q, so the Shovel Flag was planted, the disclaimer was given, and then….

  • Paying Homage to #41

    “The American Dream means giving it your all, trying your hardest, accomplishing something.  And then I’d add to that, giving something back.  No definition of a successful life can do anything but include serving others.”  -George H.W. Bush
     
    The air was crisp and chilly on Wednesday at The Foundry, just the way we like it.  Perfect conditions for paying homage to the 41st President of the United States on this national day of mourning.  Regardless of one’s political beliefs, it was hard to not have respect for the guy and the days he spent as a leader of our country.  With that being said, we read a few of #41’s quotes before takeoff.  YHC also mentioned that he sifted through some of the Northshore’s backblasts to get some inspiration for the day.  With The Crazy Ivan race coming up in January, us Southshore guys need to make sure we can meet or exceed the physical and mental fortitude of our brothers across the lake.  Without further ado, the disclaimer was recited and off we moseyed down Roosevelt Mall.
    Warmup (with a Northshore twist):
    Good Mornings x10
    Finkle Kicks x10R x10L (these were ugly, as expected)
    Arm Circle x10F x10R
    Lateral Lunge x10
    Scorpion Kicks x10L x10R (a tad lackluster)
    Forward Lunge w/forearm to ground x5L x5R (good stretching here!)
    SSH x41 to cap it off for pres #41
    Foundry:
    This would be a circuit found in a Northshore backblast called 3-6-9 which consisted of:
    3 Pullups, 6 Merkins, 9 Squats every minute on the minute (EMOM) for 10 rounds.  At first, this seemed a tad too easy but it got the juices flowing a few rounds in.  After round 5, we circled up for a tribute to G.H.W.B. with a plank/merkins circle counting up to 41, then holding a low plank for 41 seconds in silence, then another plank/merkin circle up to 41, topped off with Flutter Kicks x41IC and LBC x41IC.  Finished with rounds 6-10 with some good mumble chatter to boot.  Looking back, YHC feels certain the Southshore PAX can handle that circuit with 4-8-12 or even 5-10-15…we’ll see.
    The Track:
    After a mosey for the foundry to the practice track, we circled up for some burpees in honor of George H. W. Bush, stressing good form that would make him proud.  We knocked them out in chunks, x10 x10 x10 x11 for 41 total.  YHC was hoping for a lap around the track but it was time to mosey back to base.    
    COT:
    The usual announcements of upcoming events and Christmas party/workout next week.  A few more words about #41 before ending with a prayer. 
    Good way to start the day.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

  • 12-0 at #Rockne City

    What a beautiful, cool, crisp day for football. Or at least to celebrate football. So 18 men gathered in the gloom at Pontiff Park in a celebration of Notre Dame’s undefeated season, Rockne style. OK, so maybe 1 man was celebrating Notre Dame’s perfect season, but that man was the Q (YHC) so he forced his opinions on everybody else. I know Rudy was with me in spirit. A quick disclaimer and off we go.

    The Warm-Up:

    SSH x 20 IC
    Peter Parkers x 20 IC
    Hill Billies x 20 IC
    Plank Jacks x 20 IC
    Arm Circles IC, 10 Forward, 10 Backwards
    Windmills x 10 IC
    Mountain Climbers x 20 IC

    Grad a rock and head to the track.

    The 12:
    Notre Dame finished the 2018 season undefeated at 12-0. Our last undefeated season was 2012. Notre Dame was the only college football team to beat 12 FBS schools this season. And if we win 2 more games, we will win our 12th national championship. The Pax could hardly contain their excitement. Da Parrish and Bogey marveled at Notre Dame’s gauntlet of a schedule. Rev Sox and Hand-Granada were speechless. War Eagle knew it was coming, and did not show because he could not bear it. Hawg removed his shoes in homage. Mahatma was so inspired, he almost removed his Clemson orange t-shirt (but he didn’t…)

    12 reps of each rock exercise to celebrate the 12 victories this year. 3 rounds to celebrate the #3 ranking.
    Rock shoulder press x 12 IC
    Rock curls x 12 IC
    Rock rows x 12 IC
    Rock squats x 12 IC
    Rock chest press x 12 IC
    One lap around the track, sprint the straight aways, jog the curves.

    Rock shoulder press x 12 IC
    Rock curls x 12 IC
    Rock rows x 12 IC
    Rock squats x 12 IC
    Rock chest press x 12 IC
    One lap around the track, sprint the straight aways, jog the curves.

    Rock shoulder press x 12 IC
    Rock curls x 12 IC
    Rock rows x 12 IC
    Rock squats x 12 IC
    Rock chest press x 12 IC
    One lap around the track, sprint the straight aways, jog the curves.

    Circle up for some Mary
    LBC x 20 IC
    Penguins x 20 IC
    Flutter kicks x 20 IC
    Dying cockroach x 20 IC
    Hello Dolly x 20 IC
    American Hammer x 20 IC

    Finally, rock lunges with a twist x 10 IC.

    The we returned our beloved rocks, and moseyed back to the flag.
    High plank for 30 sec, left arm plank for 30 sec, right arm plank for 30 sec.
    Left leg cross-over Merkins x 10, Right leg cross-over Merkins x 10.
    Hamstring stretches for a cool down, and a strong finish.
    Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and a prayer. Hawg thoughtfully offered a prayer for Notre Dame to beat Clemson (at least I think that’s what he meant…)

    Thanks for letting me lead. Here’s to a great season. Go Irish!

  • Rarajipari on WPM

    I took the Q this am bc I have been dying to try some Rarajipari after Hawgcycle told me about playing it in City Park for the 610 Stomp.

    We showed up for a hot 68 degree AM in the gloom.  We had a FNG – (CHIHUAHUA) named after the province in Mexico that is home of the Tarahumara people who invented this game.   He was wearing a Bulldawg shirt so clearly this is a man of great taste and pedigree.  Thanks to Brown Bag for EH’ing him!

    We gave the disclaimer and headed directly to Wolfpack Mtn.  I picked up a bucket of balls on the way.

    At the base of WPM  SSH x 20 IC,  Dying Roach x 20, Imperial Walker Squats x 20, and Mtn Climbers x 20

    Partnered up – got a ball and started to play RARAJIPARI on our way up the MTN.  At each end of the garage we did 10 merks.  Congrats to the winners Sandbar and Saban who won the race up the MTN.

    At the top of the MTN.  We circled up for Peter Parkers x 20, Flutters x 20, Parker Peters x 20 and Hip Dips each side x 10 each.

    Then we got a new partner and went down the garage with 5 squat jumps at each side.  This in hindsight was probably a bad exercise choice. –  Most of the PAX did their jumps with their  back to the balls still rolling down the MTN.  A couple of near missed ankle injuries – as far as I know – no injuires occured.

    Congrats to Mariah and Peppa for winnning the race down.  It certainly helped that their ball plummeted over the edge to the bottom floor from 6 stories up.

    At the base – we put the balls in the bucket and ran to the benches.  At the benches we did x 20 shoulder taps x 20 power ups left and right, and x 20 dips.

    We sealed the deal with x 15 low country crab in cadence.

    Then we hustled back to the FLAG.  If you got to the FLAG before the 6 each PAX knocked out a  BLIMP or as far as he could get.

    Announcements:  Tree sale at HNJ tonight!, Lycee is having a Christmas Market Saturday

    Thanks for letting me Q – I’m looking forward to a Flaming Lips beatdown next Friday!

     

  • Okwata Single Leg Beatdown (plus)

    The cold relented, and YHC was bringing a classic beatdown to the PAX.   Disclaimer and then . . .

    Warm-Up: mosey to the fountain and then circle up for SSH x25, Abe Vigoda x15, Arm Circles x 20 (10 each direction), Imperial Walkers x25, Peter Parkers x20, Parker Peters x20, Grass Grabbers x15.

    The PAX moseyed around the fountain and went to the fountain barricade for the single leg beatdown.

    COP1: 3 exercises (Single-leg lunge, Side leg raise, Pistol squat), 3 Sets with a mosey after each set, 1st Set x20, 2nd Set x15, 3rd Set x10 (each leg, i.e. 1st Set 20 on left and 20 on right)

    COP2: The PAX moseyed to the sea wall for a Hurricane Hoedown (counting down from 7 with flutterkicks in 4 positions – upright, hands, elbows, flat) and Wife Pleasers in between sets.

    COP3: The PAX moseyed to the Cabana of Pain for 2 rounds of stations – bear crawl and quadrophelia up/down the levee as the timer, AMRAP pull-ups, and dips and crossfit merkins.

    Mosey back to the flag and Count off, Nameorama, announcements, intentions, and prayer. Thank you for the gloom, Sky Q. Teach us to be generous!

    Moleskin: With this classic workout, the PAX did a lot of work in a short amount of time.  The beatdown started with the legs and worked its  way up so that the whole body got hit.   Focusing on a single limb causes a bunch of muscles that are usually on the sidelines to fire off and provide stability.  YHC is getting sore right now.

     

     

     

  • Campus Tour

    Twenty NOLA regulars trickled in as we hit 05:30. The disclaimer was given and we were off.

    First stop was the terrace at St.  Charles and Calhoun for a quick warmup. 10 Burpees at the bottom, 20 LBC’s at the top and 30 Squats on the side. Rinse and repeat.

    Next stop— Wolfpack Hill. A quick run to the top where we partnered up. Partner A ran down the ramp one level, touched the wall and back pedaled his way up the ramp, then sprinted back and flip flopped with partner B who was performing the prescribed exercise AMRAP. They were: Russian Twist, Monkey Humper, Real Freddie and Plank Jack. We planked for the six and were off to Wolfpack Mountain.

    At the base we formed two columns and had a brisk Indian run to the top. We took a break with LBC’s X 51 IC.

    Next we hit the stairs and moseyed to the benches at the flag area to finish up: RLSU x 10, Dips x 20, LLSU x 10, Derkins x 15 IC and to the flag for COT and shoutout by YHC.

    Good Times!

  • H8 – Pushing the Boundaries

    What we can learn from History:

    The 1st H8 – 8/4/16 – 6 Pax – Amnesty – Cowbell – JV -Kim-Chi, Surge and Hawg

    No official finishers as it was an AMRAP for only 25 min in the middle of a Hawg style beat down

    #2 Can the H8 be Conquered -10/23/16 10 Pax : Bubba, Belloq, Cowbell, Frasac, JV, Maverick, Surge, Triple Shift, Tool and Hawg

    Changed to the 40 minute challenge:

    Each lap consists of running south to the top of the levee, crossing canal (bear crawling the neutral ground), running south to the bottom of the levee, cross canal and run north to the top of the levee, cross canal (bear crawling the neutral ground), running north down the levee and back across canal to the starting point.  At the starting point you do a descending burp and merk pyramid starting at 8 (bupee with 8 merkins, burpee with 7 merkins, …..burpee with 1 merkin)

    At the end of the 2nd lap the burp and merk pyramid starts at 7, etc.

    The goal is to complete 8 laps in 40 minutes.  According to MapMyRun, each loop is approximately 0.4 miles.  Therefore, to conquer the H8! you will have to do the following in 40 minutes:

    • Run over 3 Miles of Hills
    • 550 Yards of Bear Crawls
    • 36 Burpees
    • 120 Merkins

    NO Finishers: Bubba was the only one close with :20 away from completing.

    #3 The H8 Can be Conquered 3/16/17 13 Pax – Bogey, Duct Tape, Fracsac, Griswold, Kimchi, Reluctant Yankee, Rudy, Shorty, Surge, Tool, Triple Shift, Yo-Yo (FNG), Hawgcycle

    NOTE the oldest PAX this day was only 49!

    BB states there were some finishers but did not state who and the click “here” to see results no longer is active.  But non the less H8 had been conquered.  Congrats!!

    #4 Conquering H8 10/4/17 – 12 Pax – Cowbell, Da Parish, Fracsac, Nip/Tuck, Rudy, Shorty, SOGO, Surge, Triple Shift, Tool, Woz, Hawgcycle

    5 of 12 complete – CowBell on his 2nd full attempt – NipTuck 1st Uptowner  to conquer

    #5 Conquering H8 One Small act at a Time 04/19/18 – 12 Pax -Abacus, Belloq (Kotter), Jingle Vader, Mahatma (H8!er), Rudy (H8!er), Surge, Triple Shift (H8!er), Tool, Walleye (H8!er), Hawgcycle (H8!er)

    1/2 the group completed – Triple Shift conquered

    JV was one lap away

    #6  H8 – Pushing the Boundaries  10/18/18

    The gloom was perfect…. 21 Pax showed up to Okwata on a cool and windy morning adding another bit of intrigue to the challenge.  The anticipation of what some of the PAX knew and others were still asking themselves what the heck they were about to get into!  On a personal note I hit two milestones the last couple of months (Sept was my 1 year F3 anniversary) and just 2 days ago I crossed the 1/2 century threshold.  Roughly 6+ months ago I participated in my 1st H8 and as you read above from excerpts of Hawg’s BBs this event has been solid measurement of both physical and mental strength.  I like many was ready to see what F3 training has done – NO Doubt the H8 does have a way in humbling ambition but non the less is an allure for giving you something work towards.

    Look how the challenge brought out the PAX – 21 MEN almost double all previous H8 attempts!  Almost 1/2 finished (with 3 coming close to completing 9) – several are on the cusp of reaching 8 and many more improving over previous attempts or just setting their own personal bar!

    A lot of 1st timers:

    War Eagle , Medulla, Pai Gow, Rev Sox, Abacus, Quiche, Frozone, Two Yutes, Gumby, Bongo, King Kong, Smooth, Gabriel, Baby Face

    Repeat 8-attenders:

    Rudy, Triple Shift, CowBell, FracSac, Mahatma, JV, Surge (T-CLAPS, he’s done everyone)

    H8!er Club:

    1st Time: Rev-Sox, King Kong, Smooth, Gabriel, Two Yutes, JV (congrats on reaching it) – Repeaters: Rudy, Triple Shift, Cowbell, Mahatma

    There were some that came Oh so close – push hard for 6 months and come back and conquer the 8!

    H8 Humility – setting a personal goal a little too high……for now! But following the advice of the H8 beat down originator: Hawg, I started on 9 and threw a few guys off.  So along with

    T-Claps to King Kong for pushing the pace – Smooth for kicking everyone’s butt – I’m confident 9 is # that will be conquered at the next H8 challenge.

     

    Make the commitment to yourself- keep pushing to raise your bar.  Good Work!

    God Bless!

     

     

     

  • Chromosomes & Hooters

    Eight men mustured up the energy and desire to get stronger in City Park this am.  Some of the other Wed regulars must have have decided to get their beauty rest in preparation for the H8 tomorrow.  The rest of us reached down, grabbed a pair, and assembled on Roosevelt Mall in the gloom.  YHC was glad to be getting back in the groove after several weeks of no-run and/or low imact workouts.  The goals for the morning were as follows:

    1. Break a sweat and get stronger
    2. Focus of upper body and core in an effort to save some legs for the H8 24 hours later
    3. Recognize that October Down syndrome awareness month
    4. Recognize that October is breast cancer awareness month

    About a minute before launch, YHC shared with the PAX some info and stats about Down syndrome, aka Trisomy 21, which Tool 2.0 was born with.  It was also mentioned that many individuals with DS strive for inclusion as well as “abilities vs. disablilities.”  So naturally our number for the day was 21 and after the disclaimer, we were off in a mosey to start our workout.

    Pre-Thang:

    IW x21, AC x10F x10R, WM x10, LS Squat x21, Peter Parker x21, Pickle Pounder x10, Hip Flexor x21sec ea side

    Mosey down RM, hook a right on Stadium Dr for some backpedaling (100yds?) to the Refinery….FYI the Foundry is fenced off for Voodoo Fest.

     

    Tabata-like circuits, 21 seconds all out w/10 sec rest,  Split up in pairs, four stations:

    Round 1:  Pull Ups 3x21sec, rotate, Bench Dips 3×21 sec, rotate, Body Rows 3×21 sec, rotate, Russin Twist 3×21 sec

    Round 2:  Pull Ups 2x21sec, rotate, Step Ups 2×21 sec, rotate, Crunchy Frog 2×21 sec, rotate, Squats 2×21 sec

    Round 3:  Same as above w/ one 21sec set at each station

     

    Mosey over yonder for hydration and a freshly mowed field.  October is also breast cancer awareness month so we had to pay homage to the ta-tas.  There are various Burpee-for-Boobs challenges that go around social media every October so YHC figured we’d work some in.  In an effort to not drain or strain the H8 guys, we opted for a low-impact burpee variation known as the Inchworm Burpee.  Plus it’s common knowledge that anytime you’re dealing with the ta-tas, you gotta take it easy, be gentle, smooth, and avoid jumping and overly vigorous motions.  From a standing position, bend knees, squat down and place hands on the ground, “inch” up with hands similar to a bear crawl but keeping feet stationary the entire time, then crank out a Merkin, then “inch” back to standing position.   After quick demo, we proceded with Inchworm Burpees x10, then x8, x6, x4, x2.

    Headed back to the flag with 90 seconds left for a Plankorama to seal the deal.

    COT included H8 announcement, Q’s needed for Stomp and Foundry, and the reading of the Down Syndrome prayer to St. Robert Bellermine, the patron saint of DS.  Intentions for YHC’s neighbor who is pregnant with her second child and had a recent diagnosis of DS…may the positives outweigh any negatives.

    Might have been some other stuff YHC failed to recall.

    Thanks for letting me lead and allowing me to raise a little awareness for something near and dear to me.

  • 610 Stomp- A little change of pace

    4 vets, 1 FNG, and 2 flags is how this gloomy Tuesday started.

    YHC wanted to shake things up a bit, to break the normal routine of the down the bayou and back run.

    The Thang:
    Run 3 loops on the road that circles the track and meet at the entrance to the track at 6:00.
    Roughly 1 mile per loop.
    The idea was to take it easy on the run as to still have some energy for sprint work.
    YHC learned that is impossible when running next to Mahatma! Thanks for the push!

    Sprint waterfall:
    Sprint 100M
    Recover Jog 100M
    Sprint 200M
    Recover Jog 200M
    Sprint 300M
    Recover Jog 300M
    Sprint 400M
    Recover Jog 400M

    The idea was to go back down, 300, 200, 100 but time did not allow us.

    COT: Count off, name o rama where we named Nemo (Welcome Nemo), announcements and prayer.

    Thanks for letting me lead!

  • Convergence ’18

    f3nola.com/…/uploads/2018/10/IMG_5366.mov

    In celebration of the 4 year Anniversary of the starting of F3 NOLA,  a Convergence was called at the site where it all started, the Mothership.  PAX from every AO in F3 NOLA; Northshore, Westbank, Kenner, Baton Rouge, Metairie, Mid-City, and Uptown, converged on City Park for a celebration of the past 4 years of Men growing in Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith, and the growth and success that F3 NOLA has experienced during that time.

    Rudy got the party started early with a small group that arrived at 6:30 with a quick 5K Run through City Park; around the Festival Grounds, the Lagoon and back around to meet up with waiting PAX back near the Peristyle.  8 Flags were planted in the ground at the corner of The Great Lawn and the PAX slowly began to gather.  The Detailed Disclaimer(“You can’t sue us”) was given by Triple Shift, and off we moseyed to the large lawn near NOMA.

    The Beat-down was divided into four 15 minute segments, each with a different Q taking an opportunity to lead.  Each Q was selected to represent each of the 4 years of F3’s existence.

    1st Q – Triple Shift – Led off representing the founding group that started F3 NOLA that first year

    2nd Q – Turbo Tax  – represented the 2nd year growth and addition of Northshore PAX to F3 NOLA.

    3rd Q – FracSac – represented the third year and the growth of the Metairie, and Lakeview/Mid City AO’s

    4th Q – Medulla Oblongata – YHC, represented the recent surge and growth Uptown by the recent “HNJ Invasion”

    After a quick mosey to the lawn to the side of NOMA we circled up for the a warm up.

    WARM UP  – In Cadence

    31 – Worlds Slowest, Side Straddle Hops

    10 – 6-Count Burpees

    20 – Imperial Walker Squats

    10 – Abe Vigodas

    10 – Arm Circles – Fwd & Rev

    20 – Plank Jacks

    20 – Peter Parkers

    15 – Merkins

    The Q was passed to Turbo Tax who moved the Pax over to lawn slightly closer to NOMA.  Turbo started off by asking everyone to take off their shirt and create a “Flag” by tucking it in the back of your shorts.  This generated plenty of Mumble chatter among the Pax.

    FLAG GAMES

    2 Minute Flag Games – Your shirt is your Flag, Don’t let it get pulled!

    1st Round – 2 Knee-to-Chest Jumps every time your flag gets pulled, reload and continue  pulling after jumps.

    2nd Round (x2) – Tennis Balls and a Nerf football were added as additional “Ammo”, In addition to Jumps for flag pulls, if hit with the tennis balls – 5 Merkins, hit by the football – 5 Burpees, reload flag and keep going after exercise.

    3rd Round (x2) – Same Rules as 2nd round, but no reload of flag, perform penalty exercise, Plank and wait in place till end.

    4th Round – Trophy Flags – Same rules as Round 3 but Flag puller keeps and collects flags he pulls, Person with the most flags wins.

    Not sure if anyone kept track of the winners but as Turbo Tax said we’re all WINNERS!

    The Q was then passed to FracSac.  We remained in place and lined up along the First Tree Line.

    SUICIDES

    Run to tree 1 and back 5 Burpees

    Run to tree 2 and back 5 Burpees

    Run to tree 3 and back 5 Burpees

    Run to tree 4 and back 5 Burpees

    Burpee Broad Jump to tree 1 and back

    Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10

    Run to tree 1 and back 5 Merkins

    Run to tree 2 and back 5 Merkins

    Run to tree 3 and back 5 Merkins

    Run to tree 4 and back 5 Merkins

    KimChi lost his Applewatch in the Chaos that was Flag Games so we lined up and Bear crawled to the 4th tree while looking for the watch.  Not found, but later found by KimChi behind the area we bear crawled.  Crisis averted!

    The Q was passed to YHC and we moseyed back to the Great Lawn.

    CONVERGENCE CIRCUIT

    8 stations had been designated around the perimeter of the Great Lawn with a Flag positioned in the Center. Each station was marked with a sheet of paper with the exercise for each station.  The Pax was divided into groups at each station.   The Bobby Hurley station would provide the count of 20 reps,  while every other station did AMRAP of their designated exercise.   At Halt, Everyone ran to middle of lawn to CONVERGE and partner up for 5 Patty Cake Merkins, then rotate clockwise to the next station.  PAX was instructed to pick a different partner each time they returned to the middle between stations.  The stations were:

    Bobby Hurley’s

    Merkins

    Mountain Climbers

    Plank Jacks

    Low Slow Squats

    Jump Lunges

    Dips

    Monkey Humpers – (by the street, of course)

    One round was completed and time was getting short so we circled up for some quick Mary

    2 MINUTES OF MARY

    Dying Cock Roach IC x 20

    Wife Pleasers IC x 20

    We are done!

    COT

    Circle up for Count-O-Rama – 66 PAX!!,  Name-O-Rama 3 FNG!!

    FNG’s Named – Welcome to Blanks, Chalk Talk, and Green Screen!!

    Bring it in tight for a Sweaty Ball of Man!!  Butt Splice finished it up with a prayer.

    NMM

    We moseyed over to Morning Call  where a awesome spread of food awaited us.   Spinach Mushroom Egg Scramble, Bacon, Pork Loin, Bananas, Croissants, Bottled Water, and Iced Coffee.  Mike as usual took great care of us with plates and napkins and great service.  Rudy presented Mike with his honorary membership and a blue F3 NOLA shirt.   Some great F2 went down as we ate and drank our fill.  Big thank you to all who made it out for this awesome beat-down in the park.  Big thank you to everyone who organized and provided the food and drinks we enjoyed.  Finally, big thanks to Woz for documenting the whole event with pictures and video.   I know, I  speak for all the Q’s when I say, it was a pleasure to lead as always, and thanks for the opportunity to lead this great PAX.

    Hope to see everyone and more next year!!  SYITG!!
