  • 5 Minutes of PT and 40 Minutes of Hell – from Hawgcycle

    Conditions: Clear and 46 degrees. Feels like 42. Humidity 75%. Wind 7 mph from ENE.

    Grabbed the Q last night. Knowing that we would be on the Blue Devils’ field reminded me that The Hogs will be hosting Duke Wednesday night at Bud Walton. Which then took me back to the glory days of Razorback Basketball and the 94 National Championship win over Duke under the direction of Nolan Richardson. That led me to thinking about the 40 Minutes of Hell defense he installed in the late 80s and early 90s. Then I remembered that I had seen a workout in the F3Nation Exicon called the Nolan Richardson aka 40 Minutes of Hell. That’s how you plan a workout.

    Been a while since I have given the disclaimer. Stumbled through it as normal and did a warm-up lap. Tenderloin, Scantron, and Rou left to do their own thing. The rest of us circled up in the center of the field (not the exact center and not exactly a circle as made clear by the F3 Nola compliance department). Did 15 SSHs and then much to everyone’s delight we went through the PT regimen for my groin issue: Lunges, Suzanne Sommers, Wife Pleasers, and Leg Lifts. A couple of these exercises required full body contact with the frosty field. #crowdpleaser

    Then jog to the goal line for 40 minutes of Hell. It’s a lot like Dora. Partner up and complete the rep count as a team. While Pax 1 does the prescribed exercise, Pax 2 backpedals 50 yards, does a Bobby Hurley…scratch that….does a Scotty Thurman, and then runs back to the goal line.

    150 burpees, 300 squats, 150 Big Bois, 300 Arm Circles, 150 Merkins, 300 Imperial Walkers.

    We didn’t quit get through the entire set. Probably a bad omen for tonight’s game.

    I didn’t have a shovel flag this morning, which is a Q fail. Fortunately Belloq came to the rescue. He wore his 1991 American Flag leather jacket and stood patiently in place during the workout. He was there guiding us home at the end. #HIM.

  • Blimpity-Blimps – from Rudy

    8 PAX started Wednesday in the cool damp gloom. Even after a shellacking of his beloved Ole Miss, Hand Grenada was casting aspersions upon the Irish even as we got started. Yelling about schedule strength on the week Ole Miss is playing UL Monroe? The man has no shame.

    Mosey to the rock pile for some slow cadence stretches to get loosened up. Then grab a rock and head to the field.

    Thang 1: Given a choice between the Suck and Mystery Door #1, Vagabond chooses the Suck. 4 minutes of “7 Overhead, 7 Curls, 7 Rows”. Rinse and repeat as many times as you can calling out each time you complete a set. Mayhem must have had a tiny rock as he was knocking out sets with alarming frequency.

    Thang 2: BLIMPS. Put the rocks aside. 4 Cones lined up at 20 yard intervals. Each exercise will be repeated 4 times, once at each cone. 5 Burpees, 10 Lunges, 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Penguins, 30 Squats. It was rightly pointed out that YHC was unlikely to be able to complete 80 Merkins. And sure enough, I was last to complete that round. Mr. Rogers flew through all of them. Note to self: Make the workout harder for him.

    Thang 3: Given a choice between Partner and Mystery Door #2, Bogey chose Partner. So P1 will run to the far cone and back as the timer. P2 will be lifting the rock. Cycle through Overhead, Curl and Row.

    That’s it, out of time. Return the rocks and head back to the yard.

    Finish up with COT, remembering especially some friends and family struggling through illnesses.

  • Filling the Void – from Mahatma

    Got a call from Minuterice asking what AO YHC was heading to so we could meet up. After a quick check of the Q sheet there was a Void at El Diablo so I figured it was a good opty to Co-Q as team “rice”!

    Minuterice gave some recommendations then decided he would take the warm up which consisted of several dynamic style stretch and leg exercises to get us going. After roughly 7 minutes he passed it on.

  • Mayhem III – from Mahatma

    Pax are motivated by different things….this time it was “rice”, Minuterice to be exact. Got a text that he wanted to participate in his 2nd beatdown of the week so I looked at the schedule and saw no Q for El Diablo and figured why not. The plan – “Mayhem”! To YHC’s disappointment yet understanding a text came thru from MR that he had daddy duty and couldn’t make it. Well the train was already in motion so let the load be carried on.

    As normal YHC pulled up 7:28 – time piece in hand, disclaimer made and it begins.

    Short mosey to a non ant grass patch warmup.
    Scantron
    Various cadence of:
    SSH
    Side Lunges
    Lung Position Arm Circle
    Mnt Man Poopers
    Mnt Climbers
    Shoulder Taps

    7 Minutes of Silence

    Mosey to rock pile with instructions to get a Heavy rock. Walk to the hill during which there was a bit of lollygagging so YHC figured we’d finish together via Indian Run.

    Once at the Hill – A “water down” version of Mayhem was outlined:
    1771 up and over the hill carrying the rock.
    Curl/Sqt Press
    Head to the top 3 Burpees
    Sqt Press/Curl
    Head to the top 5 Merkins
    YHC anticipated a little chatter as to past failure primarily do to pax being oxygen deprived and not thinking clearly so it was made simply clear just follow the directions when given

    After completing 4 rounds – Pax were instructed to drop their rocks and assemble at the front of the hill, slightly gassed we did one loop around bearcrawl style.
    Resume where you left off.
    There wasn’t much chatter but a lot of work.
    YHC completed the task while @Vagabond crushed everyone and started over….Hmmm?
    YCH instructed all pax to return to the front of the hill with their rocks, then we left them there and assembled at the back of the hill – 1/2 loop back bearcrawl.
    Grab our rock and return.
