  • Substiture teacher – from Kenna Brah

    In the foggy dew of the gloom where men grind out a new life, I approached the field with confidence. Putting on a beat-down worthy of Mr Rodgers is no small feat, but, chaos rules here and we were headed toward a great time together.

    Once the PAX had assembled, we mosey’d to the rocks We had a down ranger from Houston, DINGHY. A former NOLA native.

  • Stack Attack – from Hawgcycle

    Conditions: 57 degrees, Humidity 98%, Wind 2.2 mph form ENE

    It’s been a while since I have been the Q. I dusted off a favorite Pandemic Exercise, the Stack. There is more recovery built in than most F3 workouts. The idea for the recovery is based off the chapters about Maximum Sustained Power in the book Primal Endurance that Turbo Tax recommended to me years ago. The idea is to basically get a weight that is hard to lift, wear yourself out lifting it, then recover so that you can give it your all again.

    The Thang:

    Warm up – SSH x 20; Grass Grabbers x 10; Imperial Walkers x 15; Merkins x 10; Squats x 10; Peter Parkers x 15; Abe Vigodas x 10

    The Stack:
    • Hell Raisers x 5
    • Hell Raisers x 5; Shoulder Press x 10
    • Hell Raisers x 5; Shoulder Press x 10; Squats x 15
    • Hell Raisers x 5; Shoulder Press x 10; Squats x 15; Curls x 20
    • 2 min Recovery – Tree Pose
    • Hell Raisers x 5; Shoulder Press x 10; Squats x 15; Curls x 20; Rows x 25
    • 2 min Recovery – Planks and Bridge
    • Hell Raisers x 5; Shoulder Press x 10; Squats x 15; Curls x 20; Rows x 25; Chest Press x 30
    • Stretching

    There was a 20-30 second recovery between each exercise in addition to the 2-minute recovery between sets starting after the 4th.

    Back to the flag to join up with The Boge, who had requested a private KnOT session with Scantron.

  • The Danger of the Preblast – from Mayhem

    Conditions: 69 F & 73% RH

    Scratchy throat. Not the best night of sleep. Promised some H8! practice. Let’s go.

    5:28am and concerned my warning of what was to come would scare the PAX off. Out of the gloom comes the creHater (creater of the H8!) himself, @Hawgcycle. He quickly warned YHC that my advertisement of H8! practice may not have been the best pitch. Yea yea, I know that now. In the next minute three more brave PAX arrived. I quickly discovered that none of those three were aware of the preblast provided, including @Hand Grenada who claims the government doesn’t allow him to have the Slack app.

    Short mosey to the field. Normal warmup consisted of AV, GG, PPP, MC, TF, FT, SSH.

    Since only @Mr. Rogers was present for the first Metry H8! practice last month, directions were provided. Shortly after, we were off to the races…

    6 laps was the goal
    We started on the south side of the bleachers.
    Each lap consists of running north snaking the bleachers to the far side, bear crawling to the steps of the gym, run a lap around the gym, bear crawling back to the north side of the bleachers, snaking the bleachers back to the starting point on the south side. At the start, descending burp and merk pyramid starting at 6 (burpee and 6 hand release merkins, burpee and 5 hand release merkins… burpee and 1 hand release merkin).
    Rinse and repeat, going down the ladder.

    • Run over 2 miles of bleachers/stairs
    • 420 yards of bear crawls
    • 21 burpees
    • 56 merkins

    Mumblechatter was kept to a minimum as everyone was pushing hard till the finish. We were reminded that most workouts are as much about mental toughness as they are about physical ability. Push yourself but don’t hurt yourself.

    Some love it.
    Some H8! it.
    It was hard, but we showed up and gave it our all.

    10/17 H8! practice at #Okwata (not entire time)
    10/24 H8! is back at #Okwata thanks to @Pinewood
