  • Xmas Morning and Not a Creature was stirring – from Mobydick

    YHC awoke to a beautiful morning and an urge to fart sack big time but a little self chat that included a recollection of some expressions of intention the week before I got myself up and out. Just when I was about to retrieve an old Tabata workout for me myself and I a long comes St Louis F3 Antman. I proceeded with a warmup of ssh/torso twists/arm circle/nolan Ryan’s/copper head squats/toe touches. The Thang I left to Antman so we grabbed our coupons and headed out on a nice long ruck walk with stops to do 30 reps of pushups and sit-ups. A great opportunity to chat and make a new F 3 acquaintance.
    May the rest of yall have a wonderful Xmas and a Happy New Year

  • Band of Brothers go to the SPA – from Jose10k

    YHC decided to try something different this morning. I recently purchased bands for my wife’s gym, so I decided to bring them to the beatdown. After a quick warm-up, I brought them out for everyone to pick a different level of band. On this chilly morning, it was time to do some leg work. With the bands above the knees, side lunges up the ramp with a squat in between. Up and down twice leading off with the different leg. At the top, side leg raises with the bands around the ankles, 10 irkins in between switching legs, 2 rounds of that. Moseyed all the way down to the first floor to our newly named SPA. The nice enclosed walkway where we did 10 minutes of core. Back outside for 2 calf raises up each step and then LT. Dan the length of the parking garage and back. COT and prayers for all those traveling. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman. Die Hard Q coming this Tuesday at Grandmas

    I wonder if the Splash Pad has a Spa, or even participants. Deep thoughts by Jack Handy.

  • If he only had Thumbs!! – from Shooter

    Well this morning was cold and windy so the PAX took it down a level. 4 HIMs posted on this mid 30s morning and enjoyed the gloom with some dice and a plate. The star of the morning was Sonny, as he decided to wake up halfway through the beatdown. Only thing missing was thumbs, but if he had some boy would he be dangerous..

    We had an extended warmup and then we rolled some dice along with a plate and the occasional loop.

    After it was all said and done I believe we had a nice balanced beatdown of some regulars and closed out with core.

    Until the next gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • One down and one to go!! – from Shooter

    With the Q sheet open and the opportunity to travel North, YHC led the PAX of the Gipper on a mixture of all kinds of coupon work.
    Started with warmups of 25 SSH (Jose10k) not 50, arm circles, Cherry pickers, butt kicks, Abe Vogadas, grass grabbers and a warmup lap around trailhead.

    Returned and gathered our coupons, first series rotated around the PAX picking the stated exercise between 10-20. Some IC and some times were the chosen few. I call them elf on the shelf, however Fletch had another name for them. Barely legal chose curls, Einstein shoulder presses and Moby had us wall sit with Al Gore and our coupons 2 mins stated but modified to 1. YHC had us complete 10 block burpees and take a loop.
    Returned for the block train gang where each PAX had a few passes on the end shuffling coupons down then back R/R till all experienced. Block figure eights through the legs, kettle swings and 10 block burpees. Made a loop returned for some block groiners, block jacks, block cheat presses and overhead extenders and 10 block burpees. Returned the coupons and closed with Little Manny crunches and Fludder kicks..

    Count, announce and COT

    Until Friday at the A1c 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Last Q of the week, let’s take it easy, wait, who’s that coming up the ramp? – from Jose10k

    Long week, 2 5ks yesterday, YHC was ready for some Yoga and stretching with Moby. Something simple and light. Then headlights appeared at the bottom of the ramp, Hogsbreath from Slidell came out here to join the group. I get it, no one goes to the Slash Pad anymore. Quarter pipe has to be paid to post. YHC had to make up a better plan for the new arrival. Good warmup then to the thang. Down to the first floor where we ducked into the covered walkway for 10 minutes of core. Calf raises up the stairs (2each step). 4 corners at top. 10 merkins each corner, back peddle halfway, run the rest. 20 sumo squats and the same in between. Lt Dan up and back to finish off. COT and Hogsbreath prayed us out. My week of Qing is officially done. Bird has the cold, birthday Q tomorrow. SYITG

  • Merkin Maniacs! – from BBQ

    I was a chilly low 40’s on the top deck of the A1C! We warmed up with most of the usual warm ups. A new twist was added to LBC’s with a roll right and left after each LBC. The thang was 5 corners with a different set of 10 Merkins in each corner. Regular Merkins and incline both. On the 3 long stretches on the top deck and ramp to the 2nd level we did LT Dans 2/1 lunges and squats . We had some time at the end for some stretching. Moby prayed up out. It was an honor to lead these fine young men!

  • Happy Thanksgiving Eve: You have to bring a side to dinner y’all – from Jose10k

    Enjoying my week off of teaching, Qing my 3rd straight beatdown, happy to finally workout at the Gipper. The weather: somewhat cool, foggy, but a calm morning.
    Warm-up: The usual morning stretches to get everyone ready to workout.
    The thang: It’s Thanksgiving, and when you arrive to the dinner, you have to bring something with you, right? The best thing we can bring at the Gipper, a coupon. We each picked up a coupon. We did 10 kettle bell swings, 10 squats, and 10 merkins on your coupon. Rifle carry for 1/2 a block, repeat the exercises. Two blocks down, one block up, two blocks back.
    Return the coupon, circle up for some Mary.
    10 minutes of core with a Jose special: wife pleasers with extra pulses in the middle.
    COT with Shooter praying us out. Thank you for DrillBit for posting from Kady, Texas. Safe travels for all. I will see some of yall at the scramble tomorrow, I will see some of y’all at the turkey trot tomorrow. Everyone be safe, and have a happy Thankgiving. Tell everyone in your family how thankful you are to have them. I know how thankful I am for each of my F3 brothers.

  • A Rocking BBQ – from Jose10k

    You know it’s going to be a good beatdown when BBQ comes rolling up with the windows down, music up, rocking out to classic Rock. That’s how we roll at the A1C. Other AOs don’t appreciate the music, some frown at the noise YHC brings with him (side eye to Zoolander), but the A1C embraces it. In fact, we incorporate it into each workout. And if you been paying attention to Hammer, Van Halen is the key to uniting the world. If you don’t believe me, reach out to him.
    Warm-up: The usual
    The Thang: Moseyed over to the courthouse for a descending ladder. 10 burpees, run to the benches, 10 freak nasties, run up the stairs for 10 copperhead squats, run around the courthouse. Repeat with 9 reps of each exercise. Back to the top for some Mary and COT.
    Turkey Trot is coming, Tyson vs Paul Fight tonight. Thanks for letting me lead, thanking for reading, thanks for rocking out with me. Zoolander, music is not our enemy. We can unite together under the flag of Van Halen.
