  • Hot and Humid Jenga – from Hogs Breath

    YHC began the morning with a phone that had completely turned off during the night. Luckily YHC’s body normally wakes up for F3 time. So he was able to hop out of bed, scramble on the pre-placed F3 clothes, and amble to the 007.
    YHC had previously spoke with Pauly D and was going to create a leg focused beatdown. But the dead phone and the 90% humidity with an 80° temperature dissuaded him. Instead a round of the F3 Jenga ensued!
    The game is simple, a Jenga yard game with F3 exercises written on the blocks. Each time a PAX draws out a Jenga block. We perform 10 of the beatdown listed. If a blank blocks is drawn, we perform dealers choice.
    At first, it was YHC and Pass Interference, we did a warm-up of some SSH and others. Then we hopped directly into the game, after about 20 minutes Pauly D rambled up in his large black pick up. He was able to hop right in to some mountain climbers . Eventually, YHC was the one that toppled the tower, so YHC and Pauly D performed burpees while Pass Interference reassembled the tower. With the time at 6:13 AM we moseyed one circle lap and ended with a COT promptly at 6:15. Although all pax said that we didn’t have time for coffee, we still ended up talking for 25 minutes around the shovel flag.
    Thank you for the chance to lead these HIM we also decided to have a happy hour soon, more details to follow…

  • Something Two – from Hogs Breath

    YHC arrived speeding in to muggy air and a quiet 007. A min after two headlights of Pass Interference work car bobbed in the gloom.
    The warm up began, nothing spectacular, some imperial walkers, grass grabbers, etc.
    the Thang: a run with a few deck of death cards thrown in. Of course on Pass turn to pull a card, he pulled a 300m sprint! That took it out of us!
    Larger, rinse, repeat for 30 mins! Then Coffeteria at Starbucks.
    It’s been a busy and hectic week, thanks for staring this week off good!

  • Eh some cards, then coupons and stuff – from Hogs Breath

    YHC arrived to the 007 to see Twinspan waiting already!

    After planting the shovel flag, Pass Interference arrived.

    So the three yuts began our warm up. Only to see Bumper pull up! We did some, good mornings, toe touches, ya know that kinda thang.

    Then a good round of a Morning Motivator! (If ya know, ya know)

    The the real fun began. We flipped over some cards. Partnered one pax would mosey from Shovel flag to Official Flag pole, and some type of cardio back (back-pedal, skip, side shuffle, etc) while the other began to do a “100” on the three cards. First cards drawn were Wogo squats, shoulder taps, and derkins.
    YHC saw the humidity was beginning to affect our cardio, so an audible was made to do a coupon walk.
    During the walk some mumble chatter was made about listening to satanic music; aka Twinspan’s mother thought AC/DC was ‘murderer music’! So we dropped the coupons and YHC tried to do a “Thunderstruck” waterfall beatdown, but alas no one could hear the tinny music from my pathetic phone speakers! YHC will bring this back!

    So we finished with some Mary.

    Fun was had by all! Completed with COT and Coffeteria.

  • Baseball Themes – from Hogs Breath

    YHC was throwing a small boil on Easter Sunday for his father in law, when he saw Pauly D bee-bopping around the neighborhood. Taking it as an opportunity the HIM invited Pauly D and his 2.0 in for some hot crawfish. YHC EH’d his 13 year old 2.0 to Monday’s beatdown but only if it was ‘baseball’ themed.

    Challenge accepted

    Disclaimer – Given

    The warm-up:
    Some toy soldiers, butt kicks, mountain man poopers, and good mornings.

    The Thang:
    A good round of Monday Motivator, which is SSH, Star hops, legs only SSH, and then hops from a countdown of 10,9…2,1.

    After this we mosey’d to prearranged baseball Diamond with yard cones, in lieu of bases. We performed a 7 of Diamonds. Which is, 7 merkins at 1st base, 14 at 2nd, 21 merkins at 3rd, and then steal home. Rinse lather and repeat with LBC’s, air presses, and squats.

    Then YHC continued with the ball theme and pulled out a softball where we played a few different games of ‘hot potato’ (borrowed the idea from TurboTax) every time a pax dropped the ball, we did some ‘punishment’ we’d weave and Bob, foreword and back, passing the ball, then switching up the order, all in all fun was had by all! A great game of dynamic catch.

    Props to Lucky Dog who was able to catch and throw with his non-dominant (which is great physical therapy for him!).

    We rounded out with naming Pauly D’s 2.0 he was a gamer, so we went with GTA or Grand Theft Arson, there was another name, but it was copyrighted!

    Ended with a COT. YHC had to run for a Dr. Appointment, but several did go for Coffeteria at Starbucks.

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to lead this morning. I look forward to seeing everyone in the gloom again!

  • God of Thunder, before the thunder – from Hogs Breath

    YHC arrived at 5:21, nine whole minutes before the beatdown. Already three cars were waiting, including an FNG! After planting the flag, another car arrived with two FNGs. Ominous clouds appeared overhead, but the rain (and thunder) did hold off for our beatdown, instead we had muggy 71* weather.

    Disclaimer: given

    The Warm Up: some sets of 10, IC windmills, IC imperial walkers, IC toy soldiers, IC copperhead squats, etc.

    The Thang: After moseying to grab some coupons, and some mumble-chatter about the ‘largest rock’ we took a page from Chris Hemsworth during his preparation for the latest Thor movie.

    10 OH presses
    10 Tricep extensions
    10 Squats
    10 IC weight twists
    10 bent over rows
    10 Chest presses

    Followed by a lap around the circular sidewalk at your own pace. Than plank or Al Gore while waiting for the 6. Lather, rinse and repeat for 5 rounds.
    After dropping off the coupons we had about 3 minutes of Mary.

    COT
    We names FNGs; Bumper (names after an embarrassing high school accident), Howdy Doody (A displaced Texan who owns a doggy pooper scooper business), and Lucky Dog (a fresh-up-and-comer who survived a bad car crash).

  • Krewe of F3BacchThothMion – from Russo

    Mid 60s and mild this morning after just picture perfect weather over the weekend for revelry in all forms.

    School’s out, which means a Jose sighting, and he didn’t disappoint: ready to go with beads (that were conspicuously absent after a while) and light up rings. PI joined us from the ‘Dell to represent the “out of town tourist”, and Bird pulled up a minute or so late, representing the reveler that sneaks his way to the front after the crowds have been gathered for hours. YHC took the position of Q / float captain, and away we went with the Krewe of F3 F3BacchThothMion (mythical god of fellowship, burpees, and mumblechatter).

    WARMUP (all IC, 10x – 20x) –
    – SSHs (Hey over here throw me something)
    – Toe touches (Bend down to pick up the light up beads)
    – Arm circles (Wind up the pitching arm to perfectly throw to the babies in the ladders)
    – High knees (practicing our St. Paul’s band high steps to impress the judges)
    – Torso twists (to clear out the space around you when the late arriving parade crowd infringes on your carefully planned out “perfect spot”)
    – Goofballs (climbing the ladder to stand behind the kids in the ladder)

  • Chilly Deck o’ Death – from Hogs Breath

    A chilly day after the Mardi Gras parades. While the skies were clear, the temps were low in the 40*s. As the street sweepers began, two pax’s began their beatdown.

    The warmup was anything that got us moving. SSH, toy soldiers, butt kicks and high knees.

    The thing

    Simply turned over a card from the Deck of Death and the second card was the ‘multiplier’.
    After performing 48 IC Rosalitas, YHC decided to modify…. If the second card was less than 5, we’d multiply. If the second card was greater than 5 we’d add.

    Some great mumble chatter was had by all!

    Ended with COT and Coffeteria

  • More About Reindeers – from Hogs Breath

    Apparently the month of December in Slidell must revolve around reindeers!!!

    (Also note, I’m only 5 days late with this this backblast!)

    So YHC left the house nice and early to only realize that I left my car window’s completely down! After running back inside to grab a few towels, I sat down on a sopping wet chair!!! YHC rolls in with a min to spare. Planting the flag we began!

    The warm up:
    Animal themed with some seal jacks, some alligator Merkins, some windmills and stuff!

    The workout;

    Began with YHC having to borrow Pass Interference phone to play Chick Berry 2nd best song 🎵 Run Run Rudolph🎵
    With run in place and then a squat every time “Rudolph” was said.

    The next followed in line for each of the Santa Reindeer.

    Dasher – we mosey’d some
    Dancer – breakdance merkins
    Prancer – skipped some
    Vixen – V ups
    Comet – star jacks
    Cupid – mosey’d some more for our hearts (YHC forgot to include this reindeer!)
    Donner and Blitzen – Dutch for ‘lighting and thunder’ so we did a capt’ hammer!

    Just enough time be able to mosey another lap and one more “Run, Run Rudolph”

    Ended with a COT

    I swear this will be my last Reindeer themed beatdown….of 2022 at least!
    And “My Ding-a-ling” is Chuck Berry #1 song!
