  • Nothing new here but detours! – from Shooter

    4 PAX joined YHC this Gloom for the Scramble.
    Started with the normal warmup of exercises 20IC SSH, Toe Touches, Imperial Walkers, Grass Grabbers, Cherry pickers and finished with Al Gore hold 2 jump squats per PAX around 2x.

    Route was out and down Messina, left on Monroe through the circle back out to West Beach to the Lake. Steve and Waterpik set a quicker pace and I believe turned past the bridge. YHC detoured Jose10k and Hammer 3/4 of a way down a private road and back out to also turn past the bridge and back to the AO..
    Distance for all somewhere between 3.8 and 4.2..

    Congratulations to Hammer on a contract for his home and he did the honors in closing us with COT..

    Until the next gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Let’s try this again!! Both sidewalks and BB!! – from Shooter

    Well, my first BB was pretty good, then I got to the end to submit and it simply disappeared..
    So, for the condensed version, which will not give the first its due..
    Variation of cadence counts Mummy kicks, SSH, Abe Vogodas, Good mornings, Seal jacks, Toe Touches and Ring of Fire 🔥 Al Gore hold with 2 rounds of each PAX completing 2 jump squats.

    A little over 4 miles and returned right on time..

    Count, announce/intensions, and appreciate the respected Akbar for the close in prayer..

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Ladders – from Akbar

    YHC arrived this brisk gloom as Waterpik and Hammer were already at center court solving the worlds problems in deep conversation. Moby arrived just in time for the warm up. Today we did ladders.

    Warm up: the usual with a focus on YHC’s shoulders after digging up fence posts yesterday.

    Mosey to the playground for Ladder 1: Pull ups, hanging knee raises, Swerkins (Merkins on swing with a knee tuck), and Freak Nasties. 3 rounds x 5, 10, 15

    4 corners ladder: Sister Mary Catherine, Stone Mountain, Scuba Steve, Peter Parker at each intersection with a jog in between. 5 reps, adding 5 at each corner.

    Court – 4 corners starting at 5 to 20 again: Jane Fonda, LBC, Hello Dolly, and something else.

    Count, Name, and YHC prayed us out.

    Thanks for the post gentlemen!

  • That’s gonna leave a mark!! – from Shooter

    With 5 PAX this gloom YHC decided to take a stroll down East causeway on a tour of our future sidewalk to be. Of course being the critic that I can often be, I expressed my comments about how we spend tax dollars here in Mandeville, as if maybe I know better. Nevertheless, as we continued to mosey turning down Monroe, YHC quickly found the elevated drain, which would quickly humble this critic as I took a plunge on to the pavement… Must admit if any of my F3 brethren ever want to trade professions any one of them would make great first responders as they quickly jumped to action in concern of my fall.. Much appreciated find gentleman!!

    Enough with my mishaps..

    Began with 10&15 IC, Hillbillies, Toe Touches, SSH, Imperial walkers, Torso twists and a wonderful stretch movement shared by Einstein the previous day.

    Our Mosey was down East causeway, up Monroe, back down through old Golden shores around and back to Monroe returning up Messina and around the horn of the park.

    Finished with Mary 15IC and some OYO exercises 💯s, Big Boys, Hello Dollies, Flutter kicks, WW1 sit-ups and some EOKs..

    Appreciate each of you for your concerns of my safety and allowing me to lead!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Ruckers and Gazelles – from Jose10k

    Due to another useless training for YHC, I got to grace the scramble with my presence this morning. So I sent out the Ruckers unite bat signal, and they answered the call. 3 Ruckers, 3 gazelles, on this gloomy Thursday morning. Finished up with copper head squats, followed up by lunges for an entire Foo Fighters song. Turkey Trot in a week, SOGO has the Q Saturday. My coworkers husband, my personal family issues, and Hammers new home purchase were the intentions that Hammer most graciously prayed us out with. As always, it was my honor to join y’all this morning. It provides me with tremendous peace.

  • The MARSOC Mosey – from Akbar

    Another crisp morning at 61 degrees and the fabulous four got to work with a Waterpik style high rep workout.
