  • Frac Week Kicks Off – from Fracsac

    YHC arrived at the Renaissance and planted the shovel flag early in order to welcome the Pax that dared show to the kick off of Frac Week. Surge, Heisenberg, Vagabond, BayWatch, Tool, MacGyver and YHC were ready to roll at 0630. The disclaimer included the standard modify as needed, but no “Whiskey-Dicking!”

    Face the bacon for standard warmup which included some arm circles and MNC where dancing was highly encouraged!

    Mosey to the field for a little EMOM with 10 burpees x 5 minutes. The pax easily completed this task, questioning YHCs stopping at 5 minutes!

    Mosey to the hill near the LCM for some gravity derkins and Big boi sit-ups. Then circle up for some bear crawl and Catalina Wine mixers x 10.

    Mosey back toward NOMA with Good Morning Burpees fun. YHC found a young lady walking and veered in that direction. BayWatch yelled good morning from about 50 yards away, which did not earn a return good morning. Said lady seemed to pick up her pace in the opposite direction. 10 burpees for the pax!
    Mosey to NOMA where more good mornings were called out. Total at this point was 80 burpees.
    Set up some cones in the field for a few minutes of ultimate football with burpees . It was 3 on 4, with YHC, Vagabond and Surge thumping the other team. It’s YHCs week, so slight bending of the rules are allowed….

    Back of NOMA for 5 x Sunday mornings.

    Good morning Burpees again on the way back to the flag!

    Roughly 100 burpees complete on top of the other awesome stuff.

    – If you listen to the F3 COT podcast, you heard our Nations Nant’an (Slaughter) questioning if the Pax were getting soft on the 1st F. Frac Week will determine if that is true. The HIMs at the Renaissance proved him wrong! Solid work from these Pax!
    – What is “Whiskey-Dicking” you ask? From the F3 Lexicon it is the Tentative execution of a task. In other words, not completing the burpees because you don’t want to. Are you modifying or are you Whiskey-Dicking??
    – Thanks to the 6 Pax that joined to kick off Frac Week!

  • May Day Mahem – from Triple Shift

    With all the talk of a double nickel challenge, I started to run more and subsequently injured myself. Too much, too soon leads to metatarsalgia especially after playing a sand volleyball tourney with Bolt. That’s another story! Anyway, I chose to run less to give my right foot a break and got into my stash of steel and sand.

    I brought a 53lb kettlebell, a 44 lb kettlebell, 2 – 35 lb kettlebells, one 80 lb sandbag and one 45 lb sandbag. After getting everything out of my bus, we slowsyed to the foundry for some five by fives. It was six exercises for five reps for five rounds in 3:30 intervals. The exercises were pullups, bench press (35 lb kettlebells), burpees, toes to bar with a modified option of scaling the toes to bar with the 44 lb kettlebell as an anchor. Here is a youtube video of what I am trying to explain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5yQMplTevU, straight leg deadlifts (45 lb sand bag), wife pleasers on a bench with 80 lb sandbag, and goblet squats (53 lb kettlebell).

    With only 10 minutes left, we head to the back of NOMA for our traditional Sunday Mornings routine (10 overhead presses in a wall sit position followed by 5 donkey kicks above the line and finish with one BTTW handstand press where on the fifth donkey kick, you push feet up the wall and walk your hands in.

    Countoff, Namerama, and COT

    Naked Man Moleskin – Before I took the Q for the workout, there was something bothering me about the May 1st date. I started looking up May 1st to find out the significance of that date. I found out that May Day is also known as Worker’s Day in Europe which is similar to our Labor Day in the United States. Also, May Day was a European festival of ancient origins that was a celebration between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. Although those were factual answers as to the significance of May 1st, that wasn’t what was bothering me until I finally realized that my dad passed away of a massive heart attack on May 1st, 1983. Aha! That was what was bothering me! It was the long forgotten sorrow of a teenager whose life was forever altered by the loss of a loving and sacrificial father. I pray that I can be half the man he was. In closing, it reminds of the final line in Saving Private Ryan where a mortally wounded Tom Hanks tells Matt Damon to “Earn this…Earn it.” I want to thank all my brothers in F3 NOLA that have helped me become “that good man” and leader. Thank you for your friendship, humor, candor and love! Be blessed to overflowing and SYITG!
