  • Leave Some Men Behind (And then find them) – from Tinkles

    It was a nice morning for workout. The park still looks like a firewood farm in many of our usual locations. Good excuse to stick the track for some running. A lighter but spirited crew brought their A-game today.

    Warm-up: Arm circles (forwards and back), Grass Grabbers

    First Thing: 1.8 mile Indian run around the park. 2 modifying pax finished along with the main group. 2 additional pax were still modifying.

    Next Thing: Ring of fire merkins x 2. Still missing two guys.

    Next Next Thing: Mosey to lot in front of the zoo for some 4-corners BLIMPS. Pretty sure they will catch up with us soon.

    Next Next Next Thing: Head to the parking lot for some Mary. The girls workout is going full blast and who is that over there doing their own Mary… the missing pax! Great instincts to seek out friendly foe! Rewards with Russian Twists, LBCs, Penguins, Dying Cockroaches.

    Last Thing: One more four corner BLIMPS modified to take us back to the flag.

    Extra Credit: planks with mission impossible.

    COT: count off, namorama, and intentions. T-claps to our lost friend Pauly D who is town for a brief stopover and came out to the gloom. Welcome back friend! Have a great week.

    Slow down with mosey to flag for some stretching

    Thanks for showing up Hawg & Moist

  • Saints / Packers Beatdown Commemoration – from Landing Strip

    In honor of the thing of beauty that was yesterday’s Saints “home opener” vs. the Packers, the PAX performed a game-themed workout with high efficiency. The cadence of each exercise was tied to a key stat.

    Warmup
    First we moseyed to the front of Tulane’s campus and did SSHs (50 – O/U) and burpees (3 – spread (to GB)).

    Tha Thing
    We then moseyed to the base of the Loyola Rec Plex garage where we Cleveland Guardian-ran to the top. Finding our usual stairwells filled with HVAC tubing, we ran up and down a spacious, brick-paved and fully air conditioned stairwell after performing each one of the following exercises:
    -LBCs (171 – rushing yards (modified to 100))
    -Merkins (22 – first downs)
    -Dying roaches (60 – total plays)
    -Burpees (3 – turnovers)

    We then moseyed to the base of WPM and again Guardian-ran to the top. From there, we did more exercises and up-downs, this time in smelly, cramped, un-air conditioned stairs:
    -Shoulder taps (39 – total rushes)
    -J-Los (34 – time of possession)
    -8 count body builders (2 – INTs)
    -Burpees (2 – sacks)

    We then moseyed back to the flag for a final set of 20 low country crabs, in honor of starting QB Jameis WInston’s feast on a W yesterday!

  • 5 Years Of Brotherhood, Bonding and Burpees – from Belloq

    I woke up at 4:20 to a very special day. Eagerly got ready and made the 21-minute drive from the Lakefront to Audubon Park where I have only been to the The Birdcage once to celebrate our 6 Year Convergence last year. How appropriate that I celebrate the start of my 5th year where F3 NOLA truly planted it’s flag and grew? To my delight, I saw both Reluctant Yankee (site Q) and King Kong (Q last time I was at this AO) in the gloom so my confidence in help if needed was growing as I was beginning the disclaimer promptly at 5:29.

    My standard disclaimer expanded to tell the PAX why today was special…Biegnet’s (Matthew Joubert’s) 17th birthday, start of his Senior Year at Jesuit and my 5-Year Manniversary. The looks from the PAX was telling that many didn’t know who this foreigner was and wondered if I was going to talk the rest of the work out so we began…

    Moseyed to the field across Magazine.

    As I could see the confused faces of most of the PAX as they were still wondering who the hell was this guy, who allowed him to Q and how have they not met me if I have been around for 5 years. I decided to introduce myself by asking the PAX to circle up on me.

    Warm-up
    8-Count Body Builders IC X 20 (I could tell I would be popular from this choice moving forward)
    Arm circles front and back IC X16
    Seal claps IC X 20
    Overhead presses IC X 20
    Overhead arm claps IC x20
    Moroccan nightclub IC X 16 (dancing was allowed and welcomed)

    Initially my plan was to honor Shorty’s workout which had 16 reps but I screwed up the whole process because for the first time ever in the history of F3…8-count arm circles were performed.

    I then walked over to complete the circle for our final warm-up
    Low slow squats IC X 20

    The Thang

    Ring of fire Merkins/Plank switching to Monkey Humpers/Al Gore X 3 Rounds

    PAX became talkative so I threw in 10 Burpees

    Ring of fire Catalina Wine Mixers/Plank and Bonnie Blairs/Al Gores X 1 Round

    Merkincides
    10 Merkins, sprint to first tree, return to start for 10 Merkins, sprint to second tree, rinse and repeat to 5 trees out.

    PAX was less talkative so we did 10 burpees as a reward.

    Traditional Belloq Core Routine: (Borrowed from Jeff Cavalier)
    Halos Clockwise 30s
    Halos Counterclockwise 30s
    Reverse Corkscrew 60s
    Dynamic Plank 60s
    Chainsaw 60s
    Slow, controlled Big Boy Situps 60s

    Cool down

    Mosey back to the flag

    COT
    15 PAX
    Intentions for children, families and everyone dealing with going back to school. Giving strength to F3 Brothers in need of a friend(s) to lean on if they need support.

    A special thanks to Rudy for gifting me the greatest F3 name ever, Jingle Vader, Cowbell, Shorty, Bubba and Douille for being there for my initiation into the F3 brotherhood.

    “Btw, worst FNG naming process was held in the gloom today. Took over 10 min. Seems like none of us were on topic at all.” -Shorty’s BB 8/11/2016

    To start year 6, I’ll be back at Okawata for my Manniversary. Consider this an early invite. SYITG

  • All the things a “Q” can bring – from Bieber

    An opportunity to Q is an opportunity for many things. There is the “Making a Fool of One’s Self” where you don’t correctly explain the exercise and no one seems to be doing the right thing. Then there is the, “Who the hell does he think he is?” mistake where the Q (me) assigns things that look good on paper, but ultimately suck. Then there is the dreaded “Too much mumblechatter” mistake where obviously things are way too easy and you need to pick up the pace. Lastly, there is the “Dude, you ain’t making too many friends” mistake where everyone is sucking wind and asking what time it is. Surprisingly, the Q this morning at the Skinny provided ample breeding ground for all of the above situations, and I have zero regrets. Thank you to the 21 Pax who shared in today’s fun. Here we go…

  • Somebody’s Watching You – from Tinkles

    That somebody is Gideon and his drone. I thought for sure the incessant rain of the last week would call off the photo op, but Gideon was not deterred. So to keep the pax dry we headed over to the zoo parking lot. The ladies workout was out in full force. With the drone and ladies and music the pax was getting giddy…..then we actually had to work out.

    Warm Up:
    SSH IC X 30, Grass Grabbers IC X 20, Forward Arm Circles X 20, Reverse Arm Circles X 20, Imperial Walker IC X 20

    The Beatdown:
    10 burpees on the minute for 10 minutes– Talking Heads to help distract from the pain

    Mosey over to the Audubon statue and pair up for some catch me if you can combinations- Jock jams and El Wire twerking for rest between rounds.
    -Loop one: run and partner does 3 burpees and then catches up to tag
    -Loop two (short loop): lunge walk and 10 merkins
    -Loop three (short loop): bear crawl and 30 LBCs

    Finish strong with Rocky Balboas, Incline Merks, Dips, and Decline Merks on the curb. Hustle back to the flag.

    COT: get your whiskey night sign up completed! Prayers for helping us lead in all aspects of our lives. Drone footage coming soon!
