  • Can anyone count? – from Jose10k

    It was a wet, dreary morning at the A1C. YHC was happy to see BBQ drive up the ramp. It’s been awhile since he posted, and he always brings the energy. Moby arrived next, then Hogsbreathe was the caboose. Mumble chatter was all about the Kansas City Chiefs, bad officiating, super bowl possibilities, celebration possibilities, etc…
    After the warm-up, I brought out the deck of death and assigned each person a suit.
    They got their pick of exercise: we had merkins, burpees, al gore thorogoods, californian sun bathers, poop scoopers, and various others. Some on your own, other in cadence. That’s where things got interesting: some people, not naming any names, couldn’t count properly. Not once or twice, but several times by several individuals. Throw in some laps and stair masters, and it was 6:00. COT, remember about the CRAZY IVAN tonight gentlemen. Moby prayed us out. Thanks for coming out gentlemen, always an honor to workout with y’all. You push me to be better.

  • Ballgames – from TurboTax

    After a quick warmup of imperial walkers, toe touches, mountain climbers, windmills, SSHs, and seal jacks, the PAX headed over to the Justice Center for some ballgames. Operating in a cone demarcated field, the PAX played a passing game with a tennis ball. Various permutations with various penalties for fumbles had the PAX working hard on their ball skills. Tanked Up was particularly adept at handling the ball, and one can only think he gets lots of practice. At any rate, fun for all and then we traveled back to the shovel flag for our countorama, nameorama and prayer. Thanks for letting me lead guys. Krazy Ivan this Friday at 8 p.m. Mandeville Lakefront gazebo with F2 afterwards at the Barley Oak.

  • Four Cistercian Monks + One – from Einstein

    A cool 40 degrees for the gathered PAX, this past Wednesday morning, at The Gipper
    And good to see cousin Bushwacker, with broken wing, some how able to fling water-logged cinder blocks around with one arm.
    His only complaint was the silence – how quiet us oldsters were. He broke the monk-like silence with some welcomed chatter.

    Warmup:
    Toe Touch, Imperial Walkers, SSHops, Cherry Pickers, Hillbillies, Scissors, etc

    Event: 3 sets of cinder block coupon work, each followed by a run around the block
    set one; upper body
    set two; core
    set three; legs

    Mary: bear crawl, crawl bear

    Count-o-rama, Bushwacker leads us out with early morning matins.

    Cheers

  • Are you ready for some football? – from Shooter

    Well 4 PAX will be ready to come off the bench if called on by coach.. At least that’s the thought following YHCs chosen beatdown for the gloom at the A1c.. Arrived midway to the top of our 3 story parking garage across from the Justice center with the likes of Jose10k and Fletch standing around mumble chatting..
    YHC joined in as Jose10k tried quizzing the Q with a reference to a movie or a song potentially, until he quickly realized this guy has less than an ounce of Hammer like abilities when it comes to quoting or naming specifics… As Moby and Sonny rolled in the PAX got started on the warmup..

    10IC Grass grabbers, Windmills, Imperial walkers, Cherry Pickers, Self love, Toe Touches, Scorpion kicks, Superman holds and finished with some alternating bridges..

    Thang
    1st and 10 (Exicon)
    Basically 11s with 100yds between. 1 Burpee/10 Merkins, 2 Burpee’s/9 Merkins, etc. etc. etc.

    Moseyed down to the 1st and partnered up for P1 wall squat P2 Carioca down half F/J and returned back pedal halfway turn and sprint..
    R/R

    Finished up with Mary
    20IC LBCs, Flutter kicks and alternating elbow to knee 10IC..

    Wrapped up with announcements and thoughts and prayers to Akbar…

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Cottoneye Joe with a deck of death with PAULY D!!!! – from Jose10k

    Alright Gentlemen, another wild beatdown at the A1C. Warm-ups: SSH, followed by a burpee, SSH, followed by 2 burpees. A little prequel to a musical introduction that will follow. Some more stretches, all ic.
    Cotton Eye Joe time: The song plays while the PAX does SSH, everytime the words Cotton Eye Joe is sung, you do a burpee. (25 in total by my calculations).
    After that, we did the deck of death with a twist. Each person was assigned a suit, and each time their suit came up, they picked the exercise. We did everything from burpees, 8 count body builders, to merkins, diamond merkins, fingertip merkins, staggered merkins, yuri merkins, slow squats, lunges, side lunges, jane fondas, hello dollys, lbcs, big boys, freak nastys, etc..
    The two jokers: lap around the parking garage with sprints on the straight aways to finish off the deck. COT with a FNG. Now Bushwacker texted me last night to speak of the high standards of naming FNG’s, and the importance of giving them the right, appropriate name. David, Hogsbreathe’s friend, from Slidell needed an appropriate name. He was a fellow New Jersian. “D”avid who went to the shore, so I immediately thought of Pauly D from the Jersey Shore. Once I uttered the name, Hammer exclaimed it as well. If the two of us came up with the same name, then it was meant to be. So welcome to F3, “D”avid, or now known as Pauly D.
    If you get a chance gentlemen, please consider donating $43 dollars to Shooter to our fallen brother Cardinal. All that information is on slack. If you need help, just reach out to one of us for the info. Feb 3 is the Crazy Ivan where my nephew looks to repeat as grand champion, and the northshore looks to hold onto the freedom hammer. You don’t have to be a runner, there are ruckers too.
    Thank y’all for the opportunity to lead this morning. Y’all have a great Friday, and a great weekend. As always, SYITG brothers.

  • Boss Boss….The Chain Plus – from Mobydick

    The Gipper had a perfect morning for The Chain…Plus. The PAX was small so we all got plenty of drag time. After a brief untaxing stretchy warm up the 4 of us ran a block to where the chain was laid out on Columbia St then of we went dragging it back the way we came through the oxlot a block away. Then another block run to get the Plus…two brake discs from my recent brake job 40 lbs or so and back to thread the 100’ of chain through them. Now we are ready. A count off to keep the 4 of us organized. Number one YHC took of with both end of the chain and dragged the brake disc as far as the burn would let me. Mean while 2,3,4 did an exercise. When the rattle if the chain stopped they ran the 100 yards or so and number two picked up the chain ends and dragged it back as far as he could go while 1,3,4 did the exercise choice of 1. When the noise stopped of we run to stopping point and 3 takes it back mean while the pax does what 2 suggests til tge noise stops and of we run. Hopefully you get the idea thank for 45 minutes nobody stopped doing something. Four round trips each brought us to the final block long drag back to the truck. Einstein seemed to go forever though he had to stop once fir traffic and found out how hard it us ti regain momentum.
    A final short mosey to the flag and an obligatory SSH x10 to take us to COT and a prayer.
    Turbo you missed a good one.

  • The dynamic duo! – from Jose10k

    There are undoubtedly some amazing duos in history: Marlin and Dory from Finding Nemo.
    SpongeBob and Patrick, Rick and Morty, Shrek and Donkey, Troy and Abed, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, Thelma & Louise, Bonnie and Clyde, Han Solo & Chewbacca , Batman and Robin, Mario and Luigi, C-3PO and R2-D2, Bert and Ernie, and Tom and Jerry. However, none can compare to how famous the duo of Jose10K and Moby are at the a1C. Okay, maybe not famous, perhaps notorious.
    Here’s the Thang: Due to a beatdown at the gipper, young Moby needed some extra stretching to get going this morning. We did some epic Yoga to start everything off.
    The Thang: 4 corners.
    7 Merkins at each corner, 14 freak nasties, 21 copperhead squats, 28 lunges.
    We ended it with some more deep stretches.
    COT, and I prayed us out.
    Always great conversations moby!

  • On the first day of Christmas my True Q gave to me… – from Mobydick

    YHC has never been a big fan of running. But the season and the setup was too tempting. Downtown Covington provided the setting by randomly placing lighted 12 days of Christmas all over. The thang was run from one to twelve and add an exercise and that many reps at each day. The placements meant the route crisscrossed downtown multiple times. On the first day of Christmas your Q gave to the pax one kraken burpee and off-we go. The second day added 2 toe touches the third added 3 windmils +4 lunges +5 merkins +6 squats +7 swimmers + 8 monkey humpers +9 interior walkers +10 cherry pickers +11 SSH +12 crunchy frogs. Add up the multiple rinse and repeats and the nearly 3 miles of mosey and a good time was had by all. The COT just happened to end at the real flag pole in front of the courthouse.
