  • Monkey Humper Drive By – from Willie

    After the required disclaimer, and in the spirit of Run Cajun Run, the PAX went off campus this morning with a mosey on the neutral ground down St. Charles Ave. We stopped for warm up exercises at the State St. and Jefferson Ave. Exercises were in cadence:

    Grass Grabbers x10, Hillbillies x20, LS Squats x10, Imperial Walkers x20

    King Kong and Gabby asked if we were going to do Monkey Humpers in front of Whopper’s house. That was not my intent when we set out, but it was such a great idea, I had to pivot. We immediately went to Whopper’s house and did 10 MH in cadence.

    We did not stop there…. Next on the monkey humper hit list was Blowout, followed by Couch. The PAX performed 10 monkey humpers all in cadence at both locations. Subprime was particularly loud in his cadence count. After hitting Couch with humpers, we mosyed back to the flag. We logged right at 4.0 miles for RCR.

    El Wire was lucky, he was next on our hit list, but we ran out of time. Let this be a warning to all Uptown PAX, especially El Wire, Reluctant Yankee, Tubesteak, Mariah, Angies List, Seaman, Tinkles, Moana, any of you could be our next victim, if you are not working out at Misty Mountain.

    We closed with a COT and breakfast ensued at Panola Cafe. It’s always an honor to lead this great group of men!

  • Somebody’s Watching You – from Tinkles

    That somebody is Gideon and his drone. I thought for sure the incessant rain of the last week would call off the photo op, but Gideon was not deterred. So to keep the pax dry we headed over to the zoo parking lot. The ladies workout was out in full force. With the drone and ladies and music the pax was getting giddy…..then we actually had to work out.

    Warm Up:
    SSH IC X 30, Grass Grabbers IC X 20, Forward Arm Circles X 20, Reverse Arm Circles X 20, Imperial Walker IC X 20

    The Beatdown:
    10 burpees on the minute for 10 minutes– Talking Heads to help distract from the pain

    Mosey over to the Audubon statue and pair up for some catch me if you can combinations- Jock jams and El Wire twerking for rest between rounds.
    -Loop one: run and partner does 3 burpees and then catches up to tag
    -Loop two (short loop): lunge walk and 10 merkins
    -Loop three (short loop): bear crawl and 30 LBCs

    Finish strong with Rocky Balboas, Incline Merks, Dips, and Decline Merks on the curb. Hustle back to the flag.

    COT: get your whiskey night sign up completed! Prayers for helping us lead in all aspects of our lives. Drone footage coming soon!

  • First you Q, then you Backblast – from Tinkles

    I admit I’ve gotten lazy with backblasts. I wouldn’t have thought it, but of the many things to not recover from the pandemic, backblasts seem to be one. I think the fluid days of free-form workouts, posting at 6:30, etc, killed a bit of our discipline. I think the same could be said for Q volunteerism. There are lots of blanks for every AO on the board with the same Qs doing most of the leading. The beauty of F3 is the chance to lead and to lead in your own style. We have no shortage of pax. It was great to get 20 out at The Skinny this morning. Each has earned a spot to Q on a coming Monday. Let’s see what you got!

    Warm Up:

    Mosey over to the zoo grass parking lot:
    SSH x 30, IW x 20, Grass Grabber x 20, Mountain Climber x 20, Low country crab x 20

    The Thang:

    Mosey to the levee:
    11s: burpee at the base and merkins at the top, plank and wait on the six
    Dora 1-2-3 with plank walks, LBCs, squats- partner goes all the way over the levee and back, plank and wait on the six
    Mosey back to the front of the zoo: rocky balboas x 20, derkins from the curb x 20.
    Back to the flag

    COT:
    Count off to 21, namorama, closing prayer

    Simple, effective, reproducible. Thanks for the opportunity to lead!

  • Ascend and Launch (WPM 2020-08-14)

    Another excellent morning on the mountain with 24 PAX: Angie’s List, Chowdah, El Wire, G Spot, Jingle Vader, Moana, Mulligan, Sandbar, Wipeout, Eager Beaver, Gabrielle, Dry Socket, Quincy, Squeal, Shurly, Jadaveon, Tube Steak, Bad Moon, Mr. Peabody, Seaman, Bones, Shocker, Tinkles, Catfish (Q).

    Started with a mosey over to the base of the mountain. Warmed up with arm circles (both ways), Windmills (Abe Vigoda), Grass Grabbers, and SSH. Assembled at the base for the ascent.

    First leg was 10 burpees, run backwards up the first two inclines to the first flat. Planked and waited for the six with peter parkers.

    Second leg was 20 bonnie blairs, bear crawl to about the stairwell entrance, mosey to the incline, then backwards run to the next flat. Planked and waited for the six with Parker peters.

    Third leg was 30 merkins, duck walk to about the stairwell entrance, mosey to the incline, then backwards run to the next flat. Planked and waited for the six with shoulder taps.

    Fourth leg was 40 flutter kicks (one is one), crab walk to about the stairwell entrance, mosey to the incline, then backwards run to the next flat. Planked and waited for the six with Floyd Mayweathers.

    Fifth leg was 50 squats, crab walk to about the stairwell entrance, mosey to the incline, then backwards run to the next flat. Planked and waited for the six with Floyd Mayweathers.

    Sixth leg was 60 LBTs (one is one), bear crawl to the top of the mountain.

    Continued with Jack Webbs up to eleven, then did an excercise called Failure to Launch (hold Al Gore while Q counts down from 10, then get a solid jump up with knees to the chest.

    Took the stairs back down to the base, circled back up for some Catalina Wine Mixers. Back to the flag, finished out with a solid 2.5 minutes of 8-count bodybuilders.

    Excellent workout with a nice big group. Thanks to all who attended!

  • Base Chase stolen from Tito, and pregame for the Barathon

    Still full from the amazing dinner prepared by 86 at the Harrah’s steakhouse and my ears ringing from the Foo Fighters show that last until 1am. Not sure how it happened but I managed to forget to set my alarm but I just naturally woke up at 5:08am. Plenty of time to get to the AO.

    Tinkles who was also up VERY late split the group and took a crew for the Angry Wave – Hokey Pokey Bad Moon, 86 Gatsby Chips and some others went their way.

    My phone had no charge so no special jammy fanny. Damn it!

    OG warmup on the Loyola lawn: SSH x 20, Hillbilly x 20, Mtn Climber x 20, Peter Parkers x 20, Roaches x 20

    Then we ran to the top of WPM x 25 plank jacks on one side and 10 hand release merks. Ping Pong back to the 6.

    At the top we got a partner and did a quick lap one floor down

    FLIP FLOP x LC CRabs, Monkey humpers, Freddies, and Fire hydrants

    So that was four more laps

    Then down to the benchs for some dips and some bulgarian split lunges IC

    Finally was a base chase challenge. Team one vs Team two. Team two won so team one had to pay up 10 burpees.

    Things don’t always go as you plan – but we got it done. A messy am and Q but it was a pleasure to lead. I am missing some PAX – leave me a message below and I will add you so that you can get credit for attendance!

  • Bacon Rarajapari with a slice of ultimate burpee bacon

    It’s my birthday week so indulge me and let me do what I want with this beatdown. 70 degrees cool and beautiful outside. Showed up with my bucket of baseballs, and a frisbee. The pre-beatdown chatter focused on the Bourbon Rodeo on Monday night – total FOMO from me. I had a great B-Day with the fam but totally jealous of the food and booze beatdown hosted by Sandbar, Squeal, and 86.

    Started off with grabbing some baseballs out of the bucket. We ran to the parking lot in front of the zoo. SSH x 20. Imp Walkers x 20 and Morning Glories x 10. Drop your ball and run to Audubon Statue.

    At Audubon we did around the clock merks x 15 at 3,6,9,and 12 – That means inclined merks, right arm raised merks, decline merks, left arm raised merks.

    Drop the ball and run to the FLY beach playing Rarajapari with partner – only rule is that you can’t kick the ball twice.

    At the FLY beach we did Monkey Humpers x 20 and Mtn Climbers x 20

    Drop your ball and run the big hill with your partner and your ball – finish by kicking your ball over the hill.

    At the FIELD we played Ultimate Frisbee. We divided teams based on F3 shirts. 2 burpees for a change of possession. 7 burpees for a score. Final score was 7-3. So my team did 49 burpees and the bad guys in F3 shirts who enjoy ruining birthdays did a mere 21 burpees. Not including turn overs.

    Some observations–Angie’s List is the Honey Badger of ultimate – knocking frisbees out of peoples hands with reckless abandon, Bones used to play professional ultimate – he even knew the correct terms for different plays,etc. If you ever need a ringer call Bones. Nip Tuck has a ridiculous wingspan – he was pulling out some crazy plastic man long arm catches. Peaches can sail a frisbee – his first kick off was two football fields away–guess I made the field too small for him, G-Spot has Drew Brees like accuracy with the frisbee – he landed 2 kickoffs on the goal line, Quarterpipe also may have played ultimate in Division 1 – punk, King Kong got attacked by the wet grass monster – I hope your knee and your groin are OK, he is not afraid to dive and finally Wipeout is a post up beast. Just throw it up in the air and he will come down with it. Nice TD. Sorry to the guys who didn’t get a mention.

    Rarajapari back to Audubon Statue. At the Statue LBCs while you wait. Also had a minute for Low Country Crab x 20. It wouldn’t have been my beatdown without them.

    Finally back to the FLAG with some Rarajapari. Careful crossing Magazine. Got back 30 sec early so we did MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to finish.

    Thanks for allowing me the chance to lead. Always a pleasure. In the prayer I asked everyone to BE THE BACON. Be the thing that people look forward to in everything that you do.
