  • 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.

  • He’s heavy and he’s my F3 Brother – from Triple Shift

    I arrived at the AO early to see Tenderloin getting his extra laps in as I scoped out the football field where all the work would get done today. As The Architect rolls in, he comments that I’m early which I proceed to brush off since I’m the Q. Anyway, 5:30 am comes quickly and I give a very short disclaimer and we’re off around the track for the warmup.

    WARMORAMA
    After one lap, we circle up for low and slow Squats, Imperial Walkers (this is a crowd pleaser with all the pax stumbling to hold elbow to knee for a 3 count), Parker Peters, Shoulder Taps, Peter Parkers, Floyd Mayweathers, and Merkins.

    PARTNER ONE THANG
    Hand Grenada slips in the warm up which gives me an even number of Pax….so partner up with someone who is around your weight. Start on the sideline and Fireman’s carry your partner all the way across to the other sideline. Flapjack the Fireman’s carry to head back. This was pretty difficult given my partner was 20+lbs heavier than me.

    PARTNER TWO THANG
    20 REPS of Nordic Hamstring Curls, No Cheat Patti Cake Merkins, Leg Throws, and WW2 Patti Cake Sit-ups

    PARTNER THREE THANG
    Partner up on the goal line for some Dora. 75 Genuflects, 100 Reverse Plank Walk Kick, and 125 X Factors. The mode of travel is lunge walk 25 yards and then run back to tag your partner.

    BONUS
    Ring of Fire Al Gore/Monkey Humpers and Glute Bridge/ Alabama Wife Pleasers

    COT
    Gave thanks for men of F3 and lifted up prayers to help us be the men we were created to be.

  • Double Pidgeon, Butterflies and Scantron Running (Oh My!) – from Charmin

    At 5:29, jokes were made about YHC’s shirt since it was part of my Halloween Costume, but now it is just a part of my rotation. After the jesting, YCH lead the count off since Triple Shift was already there thus we figured more coming wasn’t as likely.

    Starting at 5:30 Knotters walked away backwards, stretchers walked away backwards, and the runners ran away forward sine they apparently still haven’t received the memo.

    That being said, YHC mentioned on Monday that his hips were tight, so he directed Stretching with that in mind. We started out with Pool Boy (THE New Orleans Resident) and at some point he was traded for Kennah-Brah from the runners. YHC won’t say who received the better end of that deal, but all the locals know.

    At 6:12 with YHC watching my watch, wanting to get back to the proverbial shovel flag, Bolt decided to get creative by creating a stretch. We had just done the Pidgeon Stretch; so he decided to do a Double Pidgeon. It ended up being one of his better creations. Maybe Kennah-Brah was rubbing off on him.

    With a little over a minute to go, we make our way across the field and notice all the runners sitting doing a butterfly stretch. Apparently, they forget to run for 45 minutes without Pai Gow, or maybe we should rename Tuesday to Wally Stretch.

    That being said, we all start walking towards the flag and notice a tall, lanky, skinner runner coming in hot. It wasn’t until he was on top of us, that we realized that Scantron was coming in HOT! Jokes were made about him not running backwards, but it was good to see him push himself.

    COT consisted of Count-Off, with more that we started with, Name-O-Rama, and Announcements and Intentions. YHC then read from Matthew (9:20-22) galvanizing the PAX to discern what we have been suffering with for too long, and to take that to Our Father in Heaven. Even though he knows all, just like an earthly father wants, he desires his children, us, to share it with him.

  • Block City – from Mahatma

    Beautiful Morning in Metry
    YHC arrived 5 minutes early and decided to review an article and got side tracked, looking up it had just turned 5:30. With haste YHC jumped out the truck, grabbed 2 blocks from the back and headed to the cage. The Knots crew was already peeling off, and 6 pax awaited…..after a quick disclaimer (while tying shoes) we headed to the field.

    Warm Up variation of count:
    Windmills
    Good Morning Stretch
    Burpees

    Mnt Climbers
    Peter Parker Peter

    Head to bleachers – Merkin climb up X 2 then transition to bleacher snake run 3 burpees at the gym end then work our way back 3 burpees on the other.

    Push up ladder with block crucible to finish, rinse and repeat

    A little Mary mixed in. Back to the cage with 2 minutes unused – we filled it with 5 Burpees and some gas pumpers

    COT – Be a Good Samaritan

  • Trading places. – from Charmin

    YHC took a different route today, choosing to go with the KNOTers. There were a cornucopia of conversations, from what planets were in the sky, to ways to increase tibia torsion, and the downsides of being a bitcoin mining owner.

    When we came back with mi it’s to spare and saw the runners stretching so maybe they decided not to run. Their leader Pai Gow wasn’t there to tell them what to do so who knows.

    Ended with a COT where we prayed for those suffering.
