  • Gambling for Gains – from Baywatch

    It was a glorious Sunday morning in City Park where 6 PAX gathered for a Vegas style game of chance with no fear of returning home broke (at least not monetarily). Tripleshift was so enthused he showed up one hour early! Apparently trying to outsmart your smart phone regarding daylight savings time is not such a smart idea.

    With the clock striking 0630, we gathered on the museum steps for the warmup.

    Imperial Walkers 20x
    Mountain Climbers 15x
    Arm Circles F/B 15x
    Shoulder Taps 20x
    Abe Vagodas 10x
    Self Love OWN

    The Thang

    YHM came with a plan…a roll of the dice to decide our fate. A list of 12 exercises were written out on poster board. Each PAX took turns rolling the dice to see which one we would perform. After each exercise, we ran a lap around the museum and rolled again.

    1. 8 Count Body Builders – 15x
    2. Burpees – 25x
    3. Merkins – 35x
    4. Decline Merkins – 20x
    5. Lunges – 30x
    6. Dips – 40x
    7. Box Jumps – 20x
    8. Crab Walk – Around inside fountain
    9. Bear Crawl – Around outer fountain curb
    10. Squats – 50x
    11. Step Ups – 100x
    12. Deep Sea Divers – 3 merkins per step

    Now, I know what you are thinking. And, yes, I admit there is a flaw in the list. 1 through 12?? How can you roll a 1? Well, you can’t as it turns out. As I told the PAX, I’m a lawyer not an accountant. However, like a good husband, I placed most of the blame on my M because she’s a doctor and allegedly smarter than me, but she didn’t catch this error either. Nonetheless, the great and mighty Vagabond did manage to roll a 1 by just rolling one dice so we were able to do some 8-count body builders after all. After getting through 6 rounds or so the clock was winding down.

    So, we moseyed to the rear of the museum for 5 rounds of Sunday Mornings and then finished it out with a COT back at the flag.

    Imperial Walkers x 22 – vets/day who lose the mental battle – 22 veterans commit suicide EVERY DAY.

    Burpees x 10 – Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in America.

    After warmup, partner up.

    Each set will have stats about mental health and workplace mental health. The workout will be in the form of a Dora 123. As you are working with a partner (No OYO), each stat is doubled. After all three sets are complete, if you have time repeat sets until time is up.

    Round 1 – bear crawl timer

    50,000,000 adult Americans experienced mental illness in 2021

    56% of employees spend time looking for another job.

    27,000,000 Americans with mental illness are unable to receive treatment.

    80% of employees reported feeling emotionally drained by their work.

    120 Big Boy Sit ups

    Over 60% of employees feel they don’t get paid enough to save for an emergency fund.

    130 LBCs
    120 Box Cutters
    120 Flutters

    I hope you have someone to share among the Pax your mental battles or those of people around you,. This is honestly more important than the workout.

    Again, please reach out for help if you need help.

    If you or someone you know needs immediate help, please reach out to 800-273-8255.

    Till next time.

  • Shock and Scrum – from Fracsac

    Charmin, RevSox, Boo-Boo and PVC showed up at the Scrum ready to get stronger.
    With the Shovel flag planted, a disclaimer was given, then a short mosey to a nice grassy area near the outdoor gym.

    Warmup consisted of the usual stuff, skipping the unnecessary stuff.

    Stations at the outdoor gym:

    Sandbag over shoulder toss x 10 (timer)
    Big boi sit-ups
    Merkins
    90 degree arm hang
    Step ups

    Mosey to the middle of the bird watching zone for dips and derkins.

    Mosey to a new spot of grass and feel a little shock and awe

    RevSox really likes burpees. Seriously, he’s very vocal about it.
    Boo Boo likes chasing rabbits, and he’s agreed to Q a beat down with that theme as the premise. It’ll be Epic!
    Charmin has a gift for sarcasm, which makes him ideal for F3. His Qs are gonna be the best.
    PVC has embraced this F3 Thang with 7 consecutive posts! T-Claps

    Love you brothers!

  • Cool Cardio at the Mothership – from Fracsac

    YHC took the Q at the Mothership knowing it was going to be a cold and miserable morning.
    With a brief disclaimer given, 6 pax headed to the peristyle. Bogey, Catfish, Triple Shift, PVC and YHC circled up for the Warmup.

    SSH, GG, and Hillbilly’s followed by a mosey to the Storyland entrance. Finished with some arm circles with Moroccan Night Club where dancing was enjoyed by all!

    Plank up and pull sandbag thru all pax and back, last pax bear crawls to the end. Rinse and Repeat.

    Embrace the suck: 7 SSH, 7 Merkins, 7 Bobby Hurleys over and over for 3 minutes.

    Finish off with some Mary with a couple rounds of Burpees sprinkled in to hit 120 total.

    Back to flags for COT

    We were warm and far from miserable at the end. Thanks for posting with me.

    There was supposed to be a down range Pax, but not this day.
