  • “Seal the Deal” a Mosey Inspired Sunday at the Renaissance – from Heisenberg

    Warm up with movement – Walking Imperial Walkers (AKA Gabby’s) , Bear Crawl, Crab Walks – IC around the NOMA bacon fountain.

    Face the Bacon for Jack Off/Jacked Up- SSH, Smurf Jacks, Red Bull Smurf Jacks, Plank Jacks – seal the deal with some Seal jacks – I thought the F3 Exicon called a variety of jumping jacks a “Jack Off”. I was mistaken as it is called “Jacked Up” Next time I will add in the Wacky Jack and some other variations. Seal the deal with Seal Team 6 – Six Seal Burpees (burpee with two merkins) in cadence.

    Ladder of Seal Burpees – Running from NOMA to the end of Lelong Drive we performed a ladder of Seal Burpees – 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 4.

    Ultimate Football Mosey – Using an actual 1999 LSU practice football that no longer holds air we passed the football while moseying to the Tool Wall for some calf exercises. Any drop and there were several the pax performed two Seal Burpees. Ultimate Football mosey to the back of NOMA for 3 rounds of Sunday Mornings.

  • Renaissance means Revival – from Triple Shift

    To hit my minimum requirement of two Qs a month, I had to get one in quick before January ended so I signed up for the Sunday Renaissance. With the New Year resolutions passing for many on quitting day (Jan 19th), the men of F3 NOLA yielded themselves to YHC and I didn’t want to disappoint. Time to bring out the sandbags and kettlebells for a revival of pumping iron (sand).

    YHC arrived with a few minutes before 6:30 am and a crowd was present. Along with that crowd came the subsequent mumblechatter. In fact, it was in rare form as the pax was trying their best to distract me from my mission to help these men accelerate. Enough of the chirping and I called out Burpees in cadence up to 10 and things settled down. We performed Imperial Walkers, Low Slow Squats, Open the Gate, Close the Gate, Arm Circles (forward and backward) and closed out with 10 burpees in cadence.

    THE THANG
    We would perform 5 burpees, 10 body rows (flat part of hand rails), 15 Kettlebell swings, and 20 squats then run around NOMA x 5.
    After that round of exercises, we went to the fountain for one legged glute bridges x 10 IC each leg and then Bulgarian Split Squats x 5 IC each leg
    With time running short, we went to the back of NOMA and did three Sunday Mornings.

    COT
    Countoff, Namerama, and intentions. Prayers for MacGyver’s health, Cheese Steak’s son in law and son. Thank you for the opportunity to lead!

  • Rock The Renaissance – from Fracsac

    The Renaissance started off with a speaker blasting classic rock and facing the bacon to warm up. YHC was counting cadence but the Pax were too quiet. That brought a 5 burpees penalty. Pax were louder, then dropped off again, which brought 5 more burpees! That got their attention!

    Mosey to light posts for a Vagabond reverse Route 66. Start with 11 burpees and work down to 1.

    Mosey back to the fountain for stations with a 53# kettlebell sandbag, a 60# sandbag (sweetness) and Triple Shifts wee 40# sandbag. A jump rope and a frisbee made their way in too.

    EMOM to get out last burpees to hit 100.

    A few minutes left so to the side of the museum for Sunday Mornings.

    100% attended Coffeteria.

  • A Christmas Story – from Fracsac

    The weather continued to bring freezing conditions to Nola. Conditions were a breezy 28 degrees but dry.

    YHC was pleasantly surprised with the turnout for the December 25th beat down at the Renaissance. We even had one DownRange Pax – Charmin from Houston. With the flag planted, a brief disclaimer was given, then the warmup facing the bacon commenced with the theme song from Christmas Vacation blaring.

    YHC brought two gifts for the pax. The first to be opened was a deck of cards, which meant deck o’ death. After about 10 minutes it was time to open gift #2 which turned out to be a frisbee! Pax split into 2 teams of 4 and played 5 passes makes a point.

    Mosey to the back of NOMA for Sunday Mornings!

    Finish with 2.5 laps around NOMA.

    Merry Christmas to all!!!
