The Rocks will keep you warm! – from Rudy
Old Man winter returned with a vengeance. Hokie tried to avoid the workout, but fortunately he decided to show up to see what kind of train-wreck YHC had planned. 12 PAX got to experience a test run of some concepts that may never see the light of day again. Thanks to Gabby for inspiring this, and then even showing up to see it through.
Mosey to the rock pile for a quick warm up of the usual things, then grab a rock and head to the football field.
The goal of today’s workout is soft of Dora-esque, but different. Sharing the load, pondering the types of activities that may work for the “Grow Run” experience in October.
Thing 1: Leave the rocks at one end of the field, mosey to the other end. 3 teams, each team has to complete 150 Merkins, 150 Bigboys, 150 Bonnie Blairs and 150 Overhead Presses (which meant someone had to run the field and collect rocks). How the teams divided the work was 100% up to them. After a moment to strategize (YHC’s favorite Jeff Probst-ism), Go. Team 1 was the winner, and got to choose a “reward”. They chose “1 lap”. Team 2 was second and got to choose their reward – oddly, they chose “burpees”. Team 3, YHC’s team, in DFL was left with the 3rd choice – “plank”.
Thing 2: New teams of 3. This is a 10 minute event. On one sideline, 1 PAX does manmakers. On the other sideline, 1 PAX does thrusters. 1 PAX runs back and forth. Total # of reps is the winner. When PAX switch positions is entirely up to them, just always have 1 PAX doing each of the 3. Winner this time chose “plank”, 2nd place (much more wisely) chose “lap” leaving 3rd place with “burpees”.
Get the rocks back to the pile and get back to the flag. Hand Grenada assessed a 1 burpee-per-second penalty to YHC for each second passed 615. Penalty assessment stopped around 120 burpees, YHC is still paying the cost OYO.
NMM:
It’s a treat to see Tenderloin joining in with the rock selection – pushing himself, challenging himself. And sincere thanks to Triple Shift who served as a personal trainer for Tenderloin – helping him get the most out of this workout, while he continues his F3 acceleration.
YHC had the pleasure of being in a group with Pillsbury. That man pushed himself. Facing exhaustion, Charmin would nudge him along and he would dig deeper and do a little bit more. That’s the spirit of F3. Push ourselves along, and help each other do a little bit more than we thought we could.

Running and Stretching – from Bolt
YHC pre-blasted the call for S&M throughout the F3 NOLA Nation and given the low temps and even lower amount of mumble chatter, save for Mayhem’s proclamation to run in the cold, I was pleasantly surprised to see numerous figures emerging in the cool gloom. Disclaimer and commence; if ur reading this to learn about the stretches, save urself the trouble and show up for the next one to DO the stretches!

Ouch! – from Fast Tax
Friday, March 17, 2023
Thirteen PAX heeded the Game Day call at the Uptowner.After dispensing with the disclaimer, we moseyed to the field to begin warmups.
Warmups were a sprinkle of typical Uptowner fare:
Abe Vagodas
Peter Parker
Mountain Climbers
Hairy Rockettes
Toy SoldiersSufficiently warmed, we ran to the far end zone to begin our workout with a little Captain Thor– An ab exercise done in a 1:4 ratio OYO, 1 big boy sit up to 4 American Hammers.
Next up was the Quarter Pounder.
Lined up on the goal line, PAX performs each of the steps below ending each by running backwards back to the goal line.
Sprint 25 yds and do 25 merkins,
Sprint 50 yds and do 50 BBS
Sprint 75 yds and do 75 squats
Sprint 100 yds and do 100 Mountain ClimbersDue to game time constraints, YHC called it after we consumed ¾ of the Qtr Pounder.
Battle Frisburpee time!
As YHC was reviewing the rules for the neewbies, his wife, who was running at Pontiff that morning, twisted her ankle. Thus, the remaining narrative was courtesy of Hand Grenada.Players were: Triple shift, Pai gow, Logo, War eagle, Kenner Brah, Frac sac, Boo-boo, Architect, FNG(Fozzi), Mahatma, Mambi, Hand Grenada.
Black team smoked red team 10-2, then both teams completed an Indian merkin ladder before returning to flag.
COT, count off, name o rama, naming of the FNG (Fozzi), announcements, intentions, prayer.

Without a Mention of Pi Day! – from Bolt
They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb; Today’s brisk and windy gloom proved that to be true—48 degrees according to the car.
There was sprinting and stretching and most importantly there was accountability and brotherhood. As the COT disbanded, Frac mentions it is Pi Day; how’d we let that get by without weaving it into the workouts!? Enjoy ur quiche, Frac. -
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.
