  • 2024 ReNew Q vs Q – from Mahatma

    The back story….a long long time ago of 2020 in a land far far away of Khenna there was a forgotten AO called “The View”! To bring excitement during the time of dome and gloom Mambi came up with the idea of pitting one Q vs another in a face off of who could bring the “best” beatdown with 2 Qs going head to head then have the Pax vote a champion. Unfortunately as life goes AOs thinned and “The View” became extinct! (It’s no longer on the AO list) Fast forward to the end of 2023, Disclaimer was moving into the neighborhood where the lore of this AO and the Q vs Q was stuck in his mind hearing about the tails of his brother pax bringing a competitive beatdown just a few minutes from his backyard. So the call to the last champ and challenger was made and the ReNew Q vs Q was scheduled.

    The date January 19th 5:30AM it was a wet cool 50deg with 18 pax meeting up at the flags planted in Erlanger park. YHC gave the back story and guidelines of the Q Vs Q beatdown. After a quick disclaimer (not actually) a quick warmup:
    SSH
    Grassgrabers
    HillBillies
    Mnt Man Poopers
    Merkins

    Each Q gets 2 alternating 8 minute rounds with 2 minute transition.
    Rnd 1
    Champ King Kong
    Base of the levee for 4 rounds of various in cadence exercise then mosey to top of levee for in cadence ssh.

    Rnd 2
    Tripleshift
    Partner Up for crazy 8
    One pax did exercise while partner carried block overhead out and back then flip flop

    Rnd 3
    King Kong
    HITT – pax perform exercise for 1 minute followed by active recovery for 1 minute

    Rnd 4
    Tripleshift
    Some sort of bearburpeebroadjump combo goal was to reach 40. You had to be there to understand

    Time Up
    COT
    After brief announcements the 2 Qs were brought into the circle – with a convincing unanimous vote…..oh wait Rudy decided to decent and change his vote to KK. Tripleshift was crowned the new champ. After our prayer of thanksgiving the 2 competing Qs met in the circle for the belt exchange and call out by Tripleshift of his desired challenger…..from the LVCC gang the notorious HighRise was challenged!

    A new twist to Q vs Q decided at coffeeteria – the champ gets to designate the AO of the beatdown brawl, which could be ANY so be on the lookout. If HighRise accepts the challenge Tripleshift has hinted it may be at MistyMountain.

  • Burpees, Football, Running, Oh My! – from Bushwacker

    Cold as ballz? Tell that to F3 Fargo. Small crowd? Not likely. F3 Northshore showed up to play. Today we dedicated the beat down to our own Maximus the Marathon Man, Tanked Up, who is running the La Marathon tomorrow aiming to qualify for Boston.

    WARMORAMA

    5burpees OYO
    SSH
    HI KNEES
    BUTT KICKS
    IWs
    5 Burpees
    GOOD MORNINGS
    TOE TOUCHES
    TORSO TWISTS
    5 Burpees

    THANG

    Partnered up and each pair grabbed a football. Mosey to gazebo while passing football back and forth. The partner throwing couldn’t move, and for any dropped passes, both do 5 burpees.

    At gazebo,circled up and did 4 rounds of circle Up/Downs.

    Mosey to shaft in similar fashion.

    Lined up along tree line, P1 stayed put while P2 went out for a pass (dropped passes were 5 Burpees each). While P2 ran to shaft and back, P1 did an exercise, then switch. The exercises included SSH, Mnt Climbers, Freddy Mercurys, Hand Release Merkins, J Los, Flutter Kicks, and more! T claps to Waterpick and Baby Yoda, who connected on some long bombs like Drew Brees and Marques Colston!

    Mosied back to flag again in similar fashion, but this time the Pax honed their strategy to pick up the pace with shorter passes. BONUS, no balls in the frigid lake!!!

    MARY

    Made it back to the flag with 3 minutes to hit some core, much to Duke of Hazard’s chagrin.

    5 Burpees
    20 LBCs
    100 100s
    And planked up waiting for the man of the hour to roll in from a light 2 mile run.

    Nightmare Before Christmas’24 Sunday January 21st 1pm lakefront, bring backpack with 10-40lbs of weight

    JV prayed us out, Byrd and Cowbell were Starskys, joining us at coffeeteria.

    Guys (you know who you are) thanks for letting us play with your ballz this morning!
    Hammer went out of his way to prove that a good beatdown isn’t complete unless someone gets hurt. Ice it up big guy. I hope you feel better soon.
    And speaking of Hammer, if anyone is looking for a nice house in a small, conveniently located sub division (with a hot tub😎) give him a shout.

    Gentleman, thanks for coming out and freezing cheeks with the Wack, and celebrating our own Medicare Machine, and best of luck to him tomorrow!

  • Dirty Santa on the 6th day of Christmas – from Russo

    Good weather, maybe a little “brisk” at upper 30s, since YHC will never call it cold. Pax of 11 for some outstanding fellowship and putting in work (or paying the rent as I believe the Millenials like JV call it).

    Warmup (10x – 20x IC)
    – SSHs
    – Self love
    – Imperial walkers
    – Arm circles
    – Toe touches
    – High knees
    – Hillbillies

    A replay of Granny’s 12 days of Christmas – themed beatdown. We moseyed down to the lake and back, stopping each block to honor one of the days of Christmas, starting at 12, stopping at the trailhead for Dirty Santa, and making it back down to 1.

    As for the days (it helps if you sing it):
    On the twefth day of Christmas, F3 gave to me:
    – 12 knuckle merkins
    – 11 Peter Parker’s
    – 10 Legs a lunging
    – 9 Americans hammering
    – 8 count body builders (8)
    – 7 jumpers squatting
    – 6 monkeys jumping
    – 5 Don-key kiiiiiiiiicccks
    – 4 frogs a crunching
    – 3 T merkins
    – 2 stars a jumping
    – And a burpee for both you and for meeeeeee

    Dirty Santa – relatively simple
    (1) Each HIM picks a number.
    (2) Number 1 picks a random gift/exercise from the bag and performs said exercise while the other HIM perform the standard (e.g. 10 merkins)
    (3) Number 2 has a choice: Number 1’s chosen exercise, the standard, or a new “gift”. If he chooses either of the first two options, the one who had their “gift” stolen can steal or select another mystery “gift”.
    (4) Around and around we go, until all HIM have a chance to select.

    The “gifts” included one cherry picker, slaloming the columns, trip up and down the pilot house, 20 monkey humpers, donkey kicks, arm circles, etc. Two separate rounds that had Bird intensifying, SOGO hating me, JV doing too many freak nastys, YHC taking notes to never include absolution again, and Jose being the beneficiary of limited cherry pickers this year, a complete 180 from when he got stuck with multiple last year or the year before.

    Back at the lake, we did a quick 12 days, with freak nastys, box jumps, BSSs, step ups, urkins, durkins, wife pleasers, penguins, big boys, Freddie Mercury’s, hello Dollie’s, and one cherry picker.

    COT
    Count, NOR, announcements, and prayer closed us out, where we continued to lift up Freon and his family, as well as the Brady family.

    Wrapping up the year, getting started with a new year on Monday with either an Akbar Marsh beatdown and Waffle House trip, the Franco’s Dip and Dash, or maybe both!

    I look forward to more beatdowns in 2024 and a continuation of the fellowship that makes getting up before 6AM on a cold Saturday morning worth it.

  • Vent 23362 – from Sea Man

    A chilly and quiet Audubon Park welcomed the pax! To the levy departed where an oncoming train dictated a change in route up Lower Line to St Charles, to Carrolton, to SB. The audible route added an extra .25 mile to the run. Pace maxed at 10:09. Devised a new aspect, the IR Layup. Pax on IR may saunter straight to SB and then return with rest of pax.

  • The Incarnation – from Kenna Brah

    Alone and nearly lost heart, when Lo SOGO showed up in his sleeveless glory.
    Unloaded all of the HIM manufacturing gear and began –
    The theme is Christ’s Incarnation:
    I pulled ideas from the Gospel accounts and some from 15th century history.
    X Factor 20 – as the Star the lead the wisemen
    Animals in the stable –
    Earth (Inch) Worms – there’d be plenty of them in the ground under the stable.
    Donkey (bear )Crawls – added a L/R leg lift and each set of 10 steps
    Side Lamb Shuffles about 50 yds out and back- because sheep and stuff
    Genuflects LR 10x – shepherds worshipping.

    Main Thang –
    We traded the two timers sets as the non-timer did repeated things with MACE, weights or the other 40# sand bag

    Timer – 40# Sandbag Rifle Carry or Tire Drag ( see below) – You’re the donkey on the flight to Egypt carrying a heavy load 50 yds out and back

    40# Weighted Tire Drag- You’re Joseph and Mary dealing with this incredible responsibility
    Choice 1 Heavy Ball Bat ( MACE)- You’re Herod’s soldiers killing the innocents
    Choice 2 Farmer Carry/Kettlebells 30# plates –
    Choice 3 Other 40# sandbag work OYO

    Throughout I read scriptures and other history around the Incarnation and it’s purpose.

  • December Flickerball on the Northshore – from TruCoat

    The third installment of Flicker ball on the North Shore’s lakefront pitch was a battle to the end. After a short warmup of core exercises and a push-up medley that included gorillas and spidermans, the group divided into two teams of 8 based on age. Once again the Juniors versus the Seniors went back and forth on a long field, showcasing soccer skills tuned over time, and surely depleting Pontchartrain of the local O2 source. The score ping ponged as the Seniors captured an early lead, the Juniors made a mid-game run that the Seniors rallied to close. Zoolander’s fancy footwork drew taunts by the Seniors and Bushwacker’s vigorous defense may have worn down the Seniors. With the game tied, a two-minute warning was announced that shot adrenaline in the likes of Cowbell, Baby Yoda and Bird whose coordinated pressure resulted in successive goals and the first-ever victory by the Juniors. Some 2-point scoring highlights included Barely Legal’s Messi like magical kick, SOGO’s dominating left-footed end-to-end run, and Bird’s curving shot from unfathomable distance. The pitch welcomed back to the area Burgundy from Houston and Popeye from Huntsville, and the group welcomed first-timers and Dukes of Hazzard’s relatives Fieri (8th grade) and Craggle (4th grade).

  • Round Robin at The Gipper – from Einstein

    Cool in the mid-30s at The Gipper
    Round Robin was the order for the day as the Q sheet was empty
    Each Pax chose a warmup excercise. Then, off to the coupon cache to grab a block.
    Each Pax chose a block movement, after everyone had a turn – we ran around the block – repeat.
