  • You Were Warned! – from Fracsac

    YHC arrived a little early to set up for what would be a serious beat down. The Pax started to join, wondering why they didn’t seek a different AO since this was clearly labeled “This is gonna suck.”
    A Down Range Pax from Waxhaw arrived with a couple minutes to spare, glad YHC planted a flag today. Jingles had no idea what he was getting himself into….

    At 0530, disclaimer given with a short mosey to the field for a warmup, which consisted of normal stuff. Only things worth mentioning were the Toy Soldiers and Moroccan Night Club where dancing was highly encouraged.

    Motivator – a deconstructed SSH. That got the Pax attention!

    Seven cones set out 5 yards apart for Lucky 7 BLIMPS.
    7 burpees at first cone, 6 at second, and so forth. After 1 burpee run to other end zone and back and wait for the 6. Continue with Lunges, imperial walkers, merkins, plank jacks and squats.

    Deconstructed Burpees – squats, thrusters, merkins, thrusters, squat jumps. Once complete, put it all together for burpees with the 30 seconds remaining.

    Mosey back to flag for COT

    Thanks for joining me today.

  • BBB (Bolt’s Beast Builder) – from Bolt

    Warmorama: Rapper’s Delight edition with an emphasis on the parts used in burpees. The Thang: 100 burpees for time and with the mantra of, “Leave No Man Behind, Leave No Man Where You Found Him” we will all continue supporting those still pushing themselves until the Six is in! Hawg led the pack, establishing himself as a beast with a time of 7:18. War Eagle opted for a couple laps after 1.5 burpees, Triple showed up coiffed and just after the main Thang ended—shocker. A game of FastTax’s brainchild, ultimate frisburpee, ensued, resulting in Thumb War’s consternation with the rule differences from the far less interesting ultimate frisbee. The end result was the non-R.E.D. Team lost 1-0.

  • Charmin celebrates 3YO Daughter/Everyone Celebrates Hawg and SOGO’s Baby??? – from Bolt

    Warmorama Rapper’s Delight edition with MNC/dancing by request plus bonus chinooks/reverse chinooks. The Thang: move between benches along running path toward David Dr. workout equipment via Q’s instructions (shuffle both directions, mosey, backward mosey, high knees, skip) stopping for 10 burpees, adjusting to 5 upon Charmin astutely realizing we’d never get to his half of the Q otherwise. Charmin sets the count on 10 BBSU while everyone does AMRAP: pull ups, leg press, incline bench, tricep dips, rows. Cycle through all stations and then complete the path loop, stopping at each light post for either 3 hillbillies or 3 IW OYO moseying between. Along this stretch we encountered what could only be described as the love child of Hawg and SOGO: congrats, it’s a girl, strong/shapely/sans shoes yet sporting a half tank top shrouded by a weighted vest. There then seemed to be a pep in all PAX step along with some mumblechatter but I digress. Upon return to the original workout equipment near the flag we circled up for a Charmin led baby maker to plank combo which began right after Charmin doled out three penalty burpees to Rev due to some underlying battle of faiths (did I mention its Charmin’s daughter”s third bday?), although it’s possibly because Rev ran away from us the whole workout—probably the Bolt soundtrack. Flag/COT. Honored to co-Q fine men!

  • Good Morning……Burpees – from Fracsac

    It’s been a long time since YHC visited the 610 Stomp. Good morning burpees needed to make an appearance during Frac Week, and the Stomp was just the place to make it happen. Rules are simple, stay as a group and say Good Morning to everyone we see. A Good Morning reply is 5 burpees, no reply is 10 burpees and harassing a pedestrian is 15 burpees. YHC was the only one that came close to harassing a paddle boarder, that’s not technically a pedestrian.
    3.5 miles and 100 burpees later we met up for the COT.

    Fun times!!

    NMM

    Come on out to the Foundry for the final appearance from BayWatch before he moves.

    RevSox was especially fond of the Burpees, even more so than Bongo.
    Hawgcycle is even going to have Breadsticks print some shirts commemorating this iconic event.

    Frac Week continues…..

  • Double-Nickel Training Begins – from Hawgcycle

    I’m not sure if you have heard, but the inaugural double-nickel is happening in August. This brain child of F3 NOLA’s own, Rudy Tootie Fresh and Fruity is soon to become to 55 year old men what Bar Mitzvahs, Quinceaneras and Debutante Balls are to the youth of the world.
    The excitement for the double-nickel has been palpable the past few weeks as we have all eagerly awaited the official start of our training regiment. There was a soft opening on Monday with some strength training, but it got real on Tuesday with the start of our training runs.

    Rev Sox and I decided to bring back the Parten Patrol, the Tuesday morning run from YHC’s house to The Stomp (3.5 miles). We posted our Launch time and received three commitments to join us. Kuch, planned to drive to my house, Rudy would meet us as we passed his street and we would meet Tool in the middle as he started toward us from his house.

    Rev Sox and I, dressed in our Tuesday attire, stepped off at precisely 0453. Kuch was nowhere to be found. We later learned that he got lost on the way when an Ambulance passed by and he instinctively ran after it.

    When we passed Rudy’s street, Rudy was not there. I called him immediately.

    Rudy: Who is this?

    YHC: Who do you think it is? Where are you?

    Rudy: Oh. Good morning Hawg. I’m in an Ambulance on my way to Ochsner. I’ve been coughing up blood all night. I was still planning on running with you all. I got to the meeting spot a little early, but Noelle called 911. The ambulance picked me up on Metairie Road. I was too weak to fight them off.

    YHC: How are you going to finish the double nickel if you can’t fight off a couple of paramedics?

    Rudy: I know. I have a long way to go. What is that?!?

    YHC: Huh?

    Rudy: Some guy in a tank top is chasing us. I have to go. The smaller lady paramedic is giving me the stink eye. I’ll see if I can escape at the next stop and join y’all. If not can you take the Q?

    YHC: Lady Paramedics?

    Rudy: …Dial Tone

    I informed Rev about the tickle in Rudy’s throat and we proceeded toward the Stomp, eagerly anticipating our rendezvous with Tool. We were expecting to meet him a little sooner than we did, but at least Tool didn’t let us down like the others. We met him about 3 feet from the start of the Stomp.

    I took the Q and with my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics I was able to easily divide 45 minutes evenly, instructing the Pax to run out 22 minutes and 30 seconds and then come back at the same exact speed. This saves us from having to do five minutes of Mary at the end of a running workout, like we often have to do when someone with a lesser understanding of mathematics leads.

  • Qsource Ruck – from Fracsac

    A Qsource ruck was held where men experienced the 1st F, embraced the 2nd F, and shared the 3rd F. There were some runners that ran. Be on the lookout for next week Qsource!

  • NOT hum-drum at the Scrum – from Bolt

    Undeterred by the debacle at El Diablo and Rudy’s relentless whining and razzing me, YHC committed to reset and revisit the focus on the upper chest: place your left index finger underneath the right side collar bone and thumb vertically in the middle of the sternum, raise right hand overhead and note the upper chest movement: that’s where the focus is.

    Warmarama: Rapper’s Delight edition
    Including MNCs and a few burpees for Frac

    The Thang: pair up, 3 stations: box jumps and step ups AMRAP with 10 dips being the timer.

    5 upper chest exercises, 1 minute work/30 sec rest with a 10 rep target focusing on the area beneath collar bone/along sternum, while other two pair do legs/abs AMRAP
    Rd. 1 Archer (thumbs at lower chest): Squats/LBCs
    Rd. 2 Explosive: side lunge/BBS
    Rd. 3 Diamond Inc. (touch pinkies at top): reverse lunge/penguins
    Rd. 4 Pseudo Pike (hands at waist high): Bonnie Blairs/American hammers
    Rd. 5 Plunge (wide grip): Rocky Balboas/crunchy frogs

    Final refinement will include giving each chest move an F3-style name (one is definitely Rudy Booty) and limiting each beatdown to only one of the moves so it isn’t a total smoke fest. Feel free to watch the video and submit naming suggestions via mumblechatter. Grateful for all of u!
