  • February’s short so get at it

    YHC can’t remember much of that day, except that it was coolish.  After a Warm-up around the fountain, the PAX moseyed to breakfront for some suicides with the 8 planters: one inclined merkin at the first planter, and one burpee at the start; then two IMs at the second planter and two burpees at the start; etc. to 8 and 8 with a dead YHC.

    Mosey to the House of Pain for a short circuit of levee chase with five burpees at the top for PAX1, Catalina Winemixers for PAX2, step-ups for PAX3 and pull-ups for PAX4.  Although YHC had intended to rinse and repeat at least one more time, the PAX apparently was disturbing an amorous couple in a hammock near the House of Pain, so the PAX moseyed on after the first round to the Land of H8.

    Although YHC can’t remember exactly, it involved running up and down with some exercise in between.  Duh…

    Then a mosey back to the flag for a Circle of Mary, Countoff, Name-O-Rama, and COT.  Sorry for the sketchy memory, JV

  • Perfect Weather at Okwata

    YHC arrived a few minutes early at the AO to proudly plant our newly built shovel flags, one of which is an F3 Flag! YHC would have attached it some lame way to a shovel and called it good, but why do that when we have the masterful Tool in our ranks! T-Claps to Tool for the solid design!
    As the clock struck 0530, we had 4 Pax committed to improving themselves ready to rock! A brief Disclaimer…..and then…

    The Thang

    Mosey around the mardi gras fountain, carioca left, then knee highs, then carioca right. Circle up on the grass in front of the fountain for the warmup:

    SSH IC x 31
    Imperial Squat Walkers IC x 10
    Sun Gods IC x 20 (10 fwd, 10 bwd)
    Abe Vigodas IC x 10

    Next Up, An Okwata favorite! We’re going to mosey up to the Barre for some double shots with Jack Webb! Where are you Surge? It just doesn’t feel right without you!

    1 Merkin, 2 air presses in peoples chair
    2 merkins, 4 air presses in peoples chair
    you get the idea…
    10 merkins, 20 air presses in peoples chair

    Mosey to the HOP (House Of Pain)

    4 Pax, 4 Stations!

    Station 1 – Squats AMRAP
    Station 2 – Step Ups AMRAP
    Station 3 – Pull Ups AMRAP
    Station 4 – Run across the levee, complete 5 burpees, and run back (Timer)
    Rinse and Repeat!

    YHC needs some more running, and some conditioning….the holidays and then mardi gras have set YHC back! We have just the thing:

    Dirty Mac Deuce…..Okwata Style!

    This is a routine of 4 sets of 3 x 12 four count exercises all IC (One chest, one leg and one core) with a lap between each set. Our lap was an Indian Run up and over and back on Canal between Lakeshore Drive and Amethyst Street.

    Set One
    Merkins x 12
    Copperhead Squats x 12
    WW2 Situps x 12

    Indian Run (That sucked…)

    Set Two
    Catalina Wine Mixers x 12 (Ok, so this is a 6 count, but had to work it in)
    Lunges x 12
    Tin Snips x 12

    Indian Run (Still sucked, probably even a little worse..)

    Set Three
    Shoulder Taps x 12
    Monkey Humpers x 12
    Flutter Kicks x 12

    Indian Run (Didn’t think it could get any worse…until YHC realized we still had another one to do)

    Set Four
    Copperhead Merkins x 12
    Squats x 12
    LBC’s x 12

    Indian Run – Why can’t it be 0615 yet????? Why the heck would we do an Indian Run between sets? Who came up with this idea anyway?!? YHC didn’t think there was enough gas left in the tank, but the Pax pushed me to finish it!

    Mosey back to the Shovel Flags (that’s right, plural) for the COT

    Count Off, Name-o-rama, Announcements, Intentions, and closed with a prayer.

    NMM

    YHC had Map My Run going this morning, and each Pax did 2.4 miles that can be added to RRR. The weather was perfect at the Lakefront, not too hot, not too cold. There was a certain mugginess hanging in the foggy air, but not the summer humidity we will all come to dread soon enough.

    Thanks for posting with me this morning, and for pushing me!

  • The 4 Horseman at Okwata

    Okwata just doesn’t get enough respect. Let me clarify that statement; Jingle Vader posts to Okwata quite often, so it gets lots of Respect, so it’s the other kind of respect it lacks. YHC read the informative email from our NOLA Nantan at the beginning of the week where, once again, Okwata lacked a Q. Has Okwata not shown enough love? Do we need to bring the H8 back early? YHC was reviewing his own schedule last night and saw an opportunity to post to Okwata. Upon checking the Q sheet and seeing a vacancy, YHC dropped his name in the slot.
    YHC arrived at the AO with 3 minutes to spare, and none other than JV was awaiting. As YHC informed JV that the Q slot was now taken, Mahatma joined us. YHC gave the disclaimer in the 44 degrees weather with a wind chill that brought it down a few more degrees. Time to get warm……

    The Thang

    Mosey to the fountain, which is where Abacus joined us. Our mosey around the fountain included a carioca to the left, then to the right. Circle up on the green space in front of the fountain.
    SSH IC x 31
    Imperial Squat Walkers IC x 10
    Arm Circles IC x 20 (10 FWD, 10 BWD)
    Abe Vigodas IC x 10

    Double Shots with Jack Webb at the Barre
    1 merkin, then 2 air presses in peoples chair against the fence around the fountain
    2 merkins,then 4 air presses in peoples chair
    3 merkins,then 6 air presses in peoples chair
    Continue the pattern…..
    10 merkins, then 20 air presses in peoples chair

    Mosey to the House of Pain (HOP), taking the levee route to get there for some stations

    Station 1 – Bear crawl from HOP up the levee and complete 5 burpees, run back down (timer)
    Station 2 – Dips AMRAP
    Station 3 – Step ups AMRAP
    Station 4 – Pull ups AMRAP
    Rinse and Repeat

    Mosey to Canal and Lakeshore Drive for Four Corners, where the Pax does an exercise IC then runs to next corner.

    Corner 1 – Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10
    Corner 2 – Monket Humpers IC x 20
    Corner 3 – Merkins IC x 30
    Corner 4 – Squats IC x 40

    Tin Snips IC x 20
    Sudden Change – Mosey back to levee for:

    Quadraphilia!
    Always facing Okwata, run backwards up the levee, and run back down, and that equates to 1.
    Repeat 5 times OYO.

    Mosey back to VSF

    COT
    Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and ended with a prayer to the Sky Q.

    NMM
    Abacus is becoming a regular at Okwata, which is outstanding. This was the first time Mahatma joined us at Okwata, and of course JV is one of our staples.
    Thanks for joining me today. There are plenty of opportunities to sign up for Q, so take a look and see what you can do.
    Baton Rouge Launch is this Saturday. It’s going to be a good one, so go if you can. Mothership is on as usual, so post there if you can’t make it to BR.
    Thanks for posting with me today!

    SYITG!

     

  • Gelid Air at Okwata

    YHC had so much fun with the Pax at the Foundry in the below freezing temperatures the day before that he just had to sign up and take the Q for the gelid wind conditions expected to be at the angry Okwata. Upon arrival to the Okwata AO with one minute to spare, YHC found two Pax he had never seen before. Two Pax from F3 Birmingham were in New Orleans on business, but nobody told them the city was pretty much shut down. But these F3 men scoff at wintry weather conditions, and YHC was pleased to see them. This would not have been a good day to be a Pax of one! Wait, where are the NOLA men of F3? No time to think about that. Good thing Hawgcycle showed up and found us with his crochet visor and gloveless! I nearly lost hope for F3 NOLA!
    With no shovel flag to plant, YHC gave a brief disclaimer, and then…

    Mosey across the levee to the south side, where Hawgcycle found us. The thermometer read 25 degrees, and the wind chill brought that down to a “feels like” 12 degrees or so. Any hospitable host would do what he could to keep guests somewhat shielded from the gelid wind of the north!
    Circle up at the base of the levee for warmup:

    SSH IC x 20
    IW IC x 20

    Taking a sheet from the Shorty Q book, mosey to Lakeshore Pkwy for some Circuits, as the Pax needs to get warmed up more:

    Circuit one: Starting at the middle lamp post, call it #2, sprint to #1 lamp post and do 10 merkins. Run back to lamp post #2 and do 10 merkins, then run to lamp post #3 and complete 10 burpees all OYO

    Circuit two: Starting back at lamp post #2, sprint to #1 lamp post, complete 10 Catalina Wine Mixers IC, run back to lamp post #2 and complete 10 merkins IC, then run to lamp post #3 and complete 10 burpees OYO.

    Now the Pax is nice and toasty, but can’t slow down now! Mosey to Canal Street for some BLIMPS:

    Corner of Amethyst and Canal: 5 double merkin Burpees OYO
    Run over the levee to the north side, enduring the gelid wind, to Lakeshore Drive: 10 Lunges IC
    Bear crawl across the median (oops, called it the wrong thing – thanks Hawg) err…Neutral Ground….to the other corner: 15 Imperial walkers IC
    Run across the levee to the other corner of Amethyst and Canal for: 20 Merkins IC (4 count of course)
    Bear crawl across the neutral ground to the first corner: 25 Plank jacks IC
    Run across the levee against the gelid winds again to finish it off: 30 squats IC

    Mosey back to the south side of the levee for an Okwata favorite: Burp Back Mountain! Modified due to time.
    Partner up, Pax 1 begins burpees at the base of levee. Pax 2 runs backwards up the levee (quadraphilia) and down three times, then rotate. Goal is 50 burpees cumulative.
    With 6 minutes to go, only one thing will do:

    6 Minutes of Mary! All IC
    Flutter Kicks x 20
    Hello Dolly x 20
    Tin Snips x 20
    Freddie Mercury x 20
    Russian twist aka Putins x 15
    WW2 situps x 10

    Times up, mosey back to the VSF.

    COT

    Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions and close with a prayer.

    NMM
    The announcements were pretty short, not only because it was frigid, but also because it was really just YHC and Hawg from NOLA. With the roads shut down, YHC was impressed with Hawg’s determination to make it to Okwata. T-Claps to Mullen and Zacchaeus from F3 Birmingham for posting on this cold morning. It’s always great to see men from other regions post, and F3 NOLA always welcomes them with a good beat down.
    The Q signup sheet has a lot of blanks on it. See what you can do to remedy that…..

  • Rolling Fog at Okwata

    YHC received the bad news from Surge that he was ill, and would not be posting. This was surely a sign of that dreaded day, the day where YHC would be a Pax of one. SPOILER ALERT: He wasn’t! YHC woke up to an annoying rain, one that would obviously keep others away from posting to one of the greatest AO’s of the region, so no need to even head out the door. But wait, what is that? Ah, it’s the DRP, the same one that JV chose last week when he headed to the Uptowner. YHC arrived at the AO with 3 minutes to spare, and who was waiting? None other than JV, or so it seemed. We’ll get to that in a bit. YHC planted the Shovel Flag and it was on! Walleye pulls up just before the clock struck 0530, just in time to hear the Disclaimer. Lucky for us, the rain stopped, but the heavy fog rolled in. As we moseyed toward the mardi gras fountain, we could see an image in the gloom. Abacus! His first post to Okwata, and he was waiting at the mardi gras fountain, as he could not see the other Pax through the fog. That makes three men joining YHC to celebrate this day with a solid beat down. Three men of F3 joined YHC to celebrate his Trifecta Q! It was going to be a good day!

    Mosey around the fountain, carioca left, then right. Circle up in front of the fountain.

    Warmup

    SSH IC x 31
    Imperial Squat Walkers IC x 15
    Sun Gods IC x 20 (10 FWD, 10 BWD)

    Double Shots with Jack Webb at the Barre (an Okwata favorite)

    1 merkin followed by 2 air presses in the peoples chair against the barre
    2 merkins…..4 air presses…..
    3 merkins…..6 air presses….
    so forth and so on….
    10 merkins…..20 air presses in the peoples chair against the barre

    Mosey to the intersection of Canal and Lakeshore Drive for:

    Four Corners

    Corner #1 – 10 Burpees OYO
    Mosey south on Canal across the levee to the corner of Canal and Amethyst St
    Amethyst is a variety of quartz, is a semiprecious stone, and is the birthstone for February. Now you know…..
    Corner #2 – Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10
    A short mosey west to the other corner of Amethyst and Canal.
    Corner #3 – To emphasize the merkin during the burpee, YHC decided to add the double merkin burpee. 5 Double merkin burpees OYO! That went so well that YHC added 5 more! For those of you that struggle with arithmetic, that would be 10 total double merkin burpees!
    Mosey north to Canal and Lakeshore Drive
    Corner #4 – 8 Count Body Builders IC x 10
    Since we need to complete the box, return to start point.
    Back at Corner #1 – merkins IC x 10 (4 count)

    Mosey to Stonehenge, aka the circle of benches.

    Grab a bench

    LL step ups IC x 10
    Jump Squats IC x 10
    RL step ups IC x 10
    Copperhead Squats IC x 10 (Low slow squat)
    YHC needed one more leg exercise, and had a mental block. Calling out for ideas, Walleye suggested alternating lunge jumps. Yes, that would finish off this evolution nicely!
    Alternating Lunge Jumps IC x 10

    Mosey back to Canal St and to the top of the levee.

    OYO evolution

    5 double merkin burpees, bear crawl across the median, finish with 5 double merkin burpees.

    Mosey back to the flag for:

    Mary
    Flutter Kicks IC x 15
    Hello Dolly IC x 15
    Tin Snips IC x 15
    Russian Twist (Putin) IC x 15

    0615, time called, DownPainment complete!

    COT

    Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, end with a prayer to the Sky Q. We still kept Shorty’s M in our thoughts.

    Read the emails to see what’s going on. Lots of good stuff. What does this weeks Stomp, Foundry, Okwata, and Uptowner AO’s all have in common? Join me tomorrow for the Superfecta!

    NMM

    Want to see a Q take a pie in the face? Not this guy, but join us for the Mothership when Mahatma makes his VQ and gets a pie in the face from his LSU/Notre Dame bet lost to Rudy!

  • Winter is Coming….nah..It’s Here!

    “Iron sharpens iron” – F3

    It was so cold this gloom, but three merry men gathered in the Arctic Tundra to better themselves with YHC.  Nothing to say at the start, we were shivering…so we were off, but first…

    DISCLAIMER

    The Thang

    Warm-up mosey/karioki/backpedal around the Mardi Gras fountain with backs facing the lake…gotta keep your face safe from wind burn, and then over the levee to avoid the windchill.

    COP #1: Must-Needed Warmup

    10x SSH IC
    10x Plank Jacks IC
    10x SSH IC
    10x Cowbell Jacks IC (yep, same Squat Jack joke in 2018)
    10x Seal Jacks IC

    Nice and toasty!  Line up in the street by a lamp post, let’s call it Lamp#2.

    OYO: Sprint Circuit

    YHC loves circuits..and circuits love the Pax…

    • Sprint to Lamp#3
    • Exercise A
    • Jog (faster than a mosey) thru Lamp#2 to Lamp#1
    • Exercise B
    • Sprint back to Lamp#2
    • Plank and wait for six
    • Mary Exercise

    We did four rounds of this circuit:

    Round 1: Exercise A = 15x Merkins; Exercise B = 15x Squats; Mary = 20x LBCs
    Round 2: Exercise A = 15x Merkins; Exercise B = 15x Squats; Mary = 15x Flutters & 15x Hello Dolly
    Round 3: Exercise A = 10x Burpees; Exercise B = 10x Jump Lunges; Mary = 8x Hi/Low Plank Walk (R/L sides)
    Round 4: Exercise A = 10x Burpees; Exercise B = 10x Jump Lunges; Mary = 30x Putins

    JV scared a Great Dane and his owner on the the fourth sprint….he ran right at the dog…of course, JV won the game of chicken, and the Pax won by not getting a visit from the men in blue!  I guess this is his way to say “Good Morning!”

    Mosey down towards Canal and circle up.

    COP #2: Jack Webbs (1:2 Ratio)

    A Merkin followed by 2x Air Presses, increase Merks by 1 and Presses by 2….YHC chickened out and stopped the work at 8x Merkins. Pax called me out:

    startled peter macnicol GIF by Ghostbusters

    As you see, YHC has been sick (probably had what Rudy had) all week, and I was a leaky faucet of mucus this gloom…TMI? So we did an 8 count. #QwhatUcanDo

    Mosey over to Canal and circle up for instructions.

    OYO: Animal Parade

    Three laps up the levee, transform into animal, run down the levee on the other side, and walk over to the start.

    Lap 1 = Bear Crawl
    Lap 2 = Duck Walk
    Lap 3 = Frog Hop

    Mosey back to the flag, where we held the COT (Countoff, Nameorama, Shoutouts, and a Prayer).  Thanks for letting me lead this fine group of Pax!

    Moleskin

    There isn’t a better feeling than to go thru a freezing weather beatdown with your F3 Brothers…. get out that nice and toasty fartsack and post tomorrow with Roots @ WPM or with ???? @ the Uptowner (we need a Q to sign up!).

    Word on the street is that Rudy went pie shopping today for Da Parish…post at The Mothership to check out what flavor pie he gets!  Here was a picture of Rudy (left) and Da Parish (right) after the game:

    Fun

    CSAUP Alert:  Jackson Day Race is this Sunday!  Check with Da Parish for details..of course, after he eats his Humble Pie (this is my guess).

     

  • Winter Solstice

    Winter Solstice

    The longest night of the year did not disappoint anyone this morning,  there was no sun.  The fog was the strongest I have ever encountered at a work out.  People were still partying at the lakefront including us.  Maybe not the best day to do too much running and exploring but we did regardless and did not get lost in the fog….

    The longest night of the year did not disappoint anyone this morning,  there was no sun.  The fog was the strongest I have ever encountered at a work out.  People were still partying at the lakefront including us.  Maybe not the best day to do too much running and exploring but we did regardless and did not get lost in the fog….

    All but 2 arrived on time,  the remaining 2 were escorted by triple shift to the fountain area for some warm ups:

    25 Peter Parkers

    20 Windmills

    25 IW

    31 SSH

    20 Mountain Climbers

    Then off for levee run in the fog to  the circle bench area,  accompanied by shouts and fowl language of the lakefront all night parties

     

    Circle of Dips

    5 dips per bench

    Lunge walk to the next bench,  counter clockwise

    Paying reference to a clock and shortest day of the year, about to begin….

    Then across the street to the Lakefront for say a suicide Route 66  Burpee exercise?

    Start at light pole 0,  run to light pole 1,  then 1 burpee

    Return to light pole 0 and go to lightpole 2 and do 2 corresponding burpees

    Repeat to 10

    These light poles seem further away than the ones where we park?

    Pax made it to about 9 with Triple shift leading the way,  and time ran out on us, among complaints

    Stay at the Lakefront location for condensed Mary

    30 LBCs

    Hold plank for 1 minute

    Back to Shovel flag for count, name a rama, announcements, intentions, COT.

    Hope everyone has a great holiday and can take time off from normal everyday life.  I am starting today.

    Many thanks for the opportunity to lead.

    See you tomorrow morning on the radio (90.7).

  • Okwata Wind Chill

    The wind was howling at Okwata and made for a feels-like temperature in the thirtys.  At least, it wasn’t raining.  After the disclaimer, the Q promised one thing: we won’t stop moving.  The PAX moseyed to Canal and over the levee for some shelter to warm-up.

    Warm-Up: SSH (x25), Abe Vigoda (x15), Arm Circles (x10 f/r), Imperial Walkers (x25), Mountain Climbers (x25)

    Then, straight into the THANG: BLIMPS pyramid (i.e., BLIMPSPMILB, count 5, 10, . . . 30, 25, 20, . . . 5). In between exercises, the PAX moseyed to the top of the levee into the wind, across the neutral ground, and back to the start.

    Then, Mary with a DJ: LBCs (x20), Flutter Kick (x20), Penguins (x20), and Slow Dying Cockroach (x20).  Excellent choices by the DJs!

    The PAX then moseyed  back to the flag for Name-arama, Intentions, and Prayer.  Sky Q teach me to be generous.

  • Thankful 4 F3

    Excitement had been building all week.  Two Yutes was scheduled for his VQ on Thanksgiving morning.  The excitement from the pax was natural.  It’s encouraging when guys are willing to post on a holiday morning.  It’s even more encouraging when a guy steps up and says he will lead on a holiday morning.  So to have a guy willing to lead for the first time on a holiday morning was impressive.

    Unfortunately fate had different plans for Two Yutes.  YHC received a text at 0500 stating that Two Yutes had come down with a stomach bug (graciously provided by one of his two yutes no doubt) and he would be unable to post.  It’s a shame.  He had shared a preview of the plan with me and it was going to be a great one.  Much better than what actually transpired.  Oh well, save it for next year.  Shorty, pencil the man in for 11/22/2018.

    YHC gave the disclaimer amid palpable disappointment concerning the man providing the disclaimer.  Then we were off in search of new territory, 6 F3Nola vets, 1 from F3 Birmingham, and 2 Holiday FNGs.

    The Thang

    We headed east where YHC found a well lit, fairly even, fairly dry area near the lake.  We circled up for 25 SSH (IC), 20 Merkins (IC), 30 Imperial Walkers (IC), 20 Peter Parkers (IC), and 20 Low Slow Squats (IC)

    We headed further east, crossing the bridge and circling up on the far side.  Here we commenced a Dirty McDeuce.  All exercises 12 reps in cadence, each set followed by a lap around the grassy area (quarter of a mile?)

    • Set 1: Abe Lincolns, Sissy Squats (#CrowdPleaser), LBCs
    • Set 2: Wide Merks, Plie Squats, LBTs
    • Set 3: Tempo Diamonds, Squats, Dying Cockroach
    • Set 4: Carolina Drydocks, Monkey Humpers, Mountain Climbers

    Next we took advantage of the nearby parking lot.  Partnered up.  Pax 1 line jumps parking line while Pax 2 does 15 merkins.  Flap Jack and repeato until 4 sets are completed.

    This left just enough time to head back and go to the top of the levee for….if Tool or Cowbell is reading this, I am sure they can guess it…..

    Quadraphilia! – Always facing the lake, down and back up the levee amrap for 4 minutes.

    Headed back to the flag where we had the COT, gave thanks and named our FNGs.

    Moleskin

    The Dirty McDeuce is one of Yankee’s favorites.  Leading it today was my way of saying thanks to him for EH’ing me 3 years ago.

    We were joined today by Happy from F3 Birmingham.  It’s always a pleasure to work out with guys from different regions of the country.  They must be doing something right in Birmingham, because he was leading the charge all morning.

    FNG Gator earned his name from the socks he wore this morning.  He’s Jingle Vader’s nephew and the sense of style is obviously hereditary.  FNG Magellen had a difficult time finding the AO.

    At the COT, everyone had a chance to sound off on what they are thankful for.  The list included Family, Freedom, Marriage (Happy Anniversary Frac!), Quadraphilia (I’m lying), our 2.0s etc.  We have a lot to be grateful for.

    T-claps to Da Parish for posting prior to the Turkey Day Race.  That’s a man trying to earn his Turkey and Gravy.

  • Okwata Barre Redux

    A still, muggy morning at Okwata after a brief touch of fall . . .

    Warm-Up: mosey to the fountain and then circle up for SSH x25, Abe Vigoda x15, Arm Circles x20 (10 each direction), Imperial Walkers x25, Peter Parkers x15, Parker Peters x15.

    The PAX moseyed around the fountain and went to the fountain barricade for barre.

    COP1: 3 exercises (Single-leg lunge, Side leg raise, Pistol squat), 3 Sets with a mosey after each set, 1st Set x20, 2nd Set x15, 3rd Set x10 (each leg, i.e. 1st Set 20 on left and 20 on right)

    COP2: The PAX moseyed to the sea wall for a Hurricane Hoedown (counting down from 7 with flutterkicks in 4 positions – upright, hands, elbows, flat) and Wife Pleasers in between sets.

    COP3: The PAX moseyed to the fountain barricade for Jack Webb Went to the Bar.  This was like a standard Jack Webb, but for the air presses, the PAX had to sit against the bar. If the PAX’s legs weren’t mush yet, sitting against the bar took care of it.

    COP4: The PAX moseyed to the Cabana of Pain for 2 sets of AMRAP pull-ups.

    Count off, Nameorama, close out with announcements, intentions, and prayer. Thank you for the gloom, Sky Q. Teach us to be generous!

    The PAX did a lot of work in a short amount of time, and the whole body got hit.  Perfect start for the day.  Thank you for letting me Q!
