F3 New Orleans

  • Bridge Over Stagnant Waters

    Leading 20+ men on Saturday beat-down is a tall order, so Your Humble Correspondent (YHC) needed to prepare. On the afternoon before the workout, my 9-year-old son and I took I bike ride to City Park to survey any hidden corners typically overlooked during Mothership workouts. Whenever the Pax moseys from the flag to the museum of art, the little hill of a bridge just after Morning Call is a nice little challenge, especially because we don’t have hills in New Orleans. But there’s too much traffic along that road to do a workout on. On my bike, YHC spied those foot bridges over the lagoon behind Morning Call and thought it might be a good spot to try something new. (At least, YHC hasn’t worked out there before.)

    YHC showed up a few minutes before the workout was to begin, and there was already a healthy crowd there. A few stragglers joined in as the PAX moseyed to the Great Lawn. Let’s get started:

    • Arm circles – 10 forward, 10 back
    • Cross-legged windmills – 10
    • Then some stretching – Runners stretch, crouching and holding it for 10, knee circles, legs open with stretch forward, soles touching and stretch forward

     

    Warm ups

    • Hillbillies x20
    • Merkins x20 (maybe too fast a cadence)
    • Jump squats x20
    • Floyd Mayweather x20
    • Peter Parkers x20
    • SSH x20
    • 10 burpees on your own

    To the bridges

    We did a Dora 123 where one partner runs over one bridge and returns over the second with some nice steps to climb up. Taps out and the other partner does the circuit. A combined exercise of:

    • 100 plank jacks
    • 200 toe-touches (from crab-walk position)
    • 300 mountain climbers

    To NOMA

    After a moment of hydration at the museum, we partnered up again at the main fountain.

    One partner bunny-hopped up the stairs, while the other partner did:

    • derkins
    • irkins
    • dips

    …partners switching each time between bunny-hops and the exercises at the fountain. When we were done, rinse and repeat.

    At the trees

    Short mosey to the field with the line of trees in front of NOMA.

    • Lunge walk (length of two trees)
    • 10 burpees on your own
    • Duck walk (length of two trees)
    • 10 burpees on your own

    Mosey back to the Great Lawn

    Time for some Mary

    • Flutter kicks x20
    • American hammer x20
    • Hello Dolly x20
    • Crunchy rolls and crunchy roll step-ups (something from my martial arts practice) – on your own
    • Freddy Mercuries (I think) x 20

    Times up! Back to the flag for name-a-rama where we named two FNGs: Calliope and Mary Lou. (Mary Lou’s leaving town anyway, so a silly name won’t haunt him for long.) Announcements, a prayer, and then some camaraderie at Morning Call.

  • Teamwork

    Mosey over for a quick warm up in the great lawn.

    • 15x Plank Jacks IC
    • 20x Elevator Merkins IC
    • 20x Peter Parkers IC
    • 20x SSHs IC

    Partner up for some Dora 1-2-3.

    1. 100 Burpees (at the Great Lawn)
    2. 200 Mayweathers (at NOMA)
    3. 300 Squats (NOMA neutral ground)

    Mosey over to the refinery and split into 2 groups.

    1. Calf Raise Circuit (timer)
    2. 3x Pull ups, 5x Merkins/Squats AMRAP

    Back to the flag, where we held the COT. Coffeteria and 3rd F (Q’d by Woz) was held after…great time!

    Moleskin

    MURPH at the Foundry…get some!

  • 21 Strong

    After participating in the Tchoupitoulas Bar-A-Thon the night before with approximately a dozen other F3 Beer Champions, YHC did not want to get up and post, much less Q, at the Mothership.  However, the being held accountable part of the F3 creed sat front and center of my brain, right next to the hangover part.  YHC could not let my F3 brothers down.

    YHC was eager to see how many other Bar-A-Thon patrons would post, but that thought quickly went away upon seeing Cruiser in attendance from Houston, aka New Orleans West according to Hawg.

    With 4 shovel flags planted, YHC quietly set out some cones in the parking lot and returned to the group of 20 other men that had assembled.  The clock struck 0630, time for a disclaimer, which YHC did give contrary to what Triple Shift says……and mosey toward the Peristyle.  Some of the sprinklers were jetting out water on the already rain soaked Great lawn, so YHC was attempting to avoid it, but Rudy talked the Q into testing it.  So, circle up on the Great Lawn, but we wouldn’t be here long…..

    Warmup
    SSH IC x 31
    Hillbilly’s IC x 20
    Abe Vigodas IC x 10
    Peter Parker IC x 20
    Mountain Climber IC x 20
    Parker Peter IC x 20

    Mosey to the strategically placed cones in the parking lot. Set up to mirror a basketball court, it was time for some suicides. Start at baseline, sprint to first line, sprint back and do exercise. Sprint to Half Court, sprint back and do exercise. Sprint to third line, sprint back and do exercise. Sprint full court, sprint back and do exercise. That’s one evolution.
    First Evolution – 5 Burpees OYO upon returning to baseline each time.
    Second Evolution – 5 Eight Count Body Builders IC upon returning to baseline each time.
    Third Evolution – 5 Copperhead Squats IC upon returning to baseline each time.
    Fourth Evolution – No exercises, just sprint to each line and back retrieving the cones.

    Mosey to trees near NOMA
    Line up at the first tree, and bear crawl to third tree. Lunges IC x 10
    Bear crawl from third tree to fifth tree. At this point, Rudy indicated a large pool of standing water near tree six that the Pax should engage. Looking back, YHC may have lost a great opportunity. Maybe next time…..
    Circle Up for Jack Webb
    1 merkin, 2 air presses
    2 merkin, 4 air presses
    You get the idea
    10 merkins, 20 air presses
    Kong walk from fifth tree back to third tree, Squats IC x 10
    Duck walk from third tree back to first tree, Monkey Humpers IC x 20

    Mosey to the fountain by NOMA. The regular Cross Fitters were on the steps doing Burpees, which the Pax began to critique. YHC decided to stay off the steps this day, we don’t need a West Side Story BB……
    RL Step Ups IC x 20
    Freak nasties IC x 20
    LL Step Ups IC x 20

    Mosey to the narrow strip of grass in front of NOMA and elbow plank up in two columns.
    Pax Bridge Jumps. Last man jumps over each Pax and assumes plank position in the front. Each Pax does 3. Although there were two teams, there was no competition here, YHC just wanted to equally spread the suck around. Speaking of Suck…
    Mosey back near the standing water that continued to call to Rudy for “The Suck”

    Three minutes of the following exercise over and over again
    7 SSH
    7 Merkins
    7 Squat Jumps
    The Pax said something about it being 6, but YHC stood his ground. This day would suck that much more…..
    YHC lost count, so not sure how many rounds were completed.

    Mosey back to the road in front of NOMA and line up in the two columns again for a two column Indian Run back to the Flags. Upon arriving at the flags with one minute to spare, YHC called a sudden change and directed all back to the Great Lawn for 10 Burpees OYO to seal the deal!

    COT

    Count Off, Nam-O-Rama, Announcements, Intentions and Closed with a prayer.

    NMM

    T-Claps to our IT guy for making the F3 website easy to find and the workouts well defined. Our newest FNG found F3 by searching the web and posted at the Mothership! Welcome Catfish! I think it has something to do with the Notre Dame scam, but who knows. Ask Rudy about it.
    It was a pleasure having Cruiser from Houston post. Cruiser is an inspiration to us all, a true HIM! Cruiser, know that you and your family are always in our thoughts and prayers.
    T-Claps to Woz for leading the bible study at 8:15 post coffeeteria.

    YHC intended to create a beatdown to recognize Armed Forces Day.  The 5 of each exercise in the suicides represented the 5 branches of our great military.  Thanks to all who serve and to our veterans.

    Thanks for posting with me today, for holding me accountable, and for making me a better husband, father, and man.

    SYITG

  • Side Effects and a side of bricks

    Going back through the backblasts while looking for ideas – YHC ended up in the way back machine, re-reading several of the ideas from good ol’ Side Effects.  So that, coupled with one surprise YHC saw while doing a slow mosey through City Park looking for something different, would inspire the Saturday workout.  YHC pulled in to the parking lot, happy to see lots of our recent new faces.  Always refreshing to see new gentleman returning, bringing new ideas, new members, new enthusiasm.  Thank you Pai Gow, Dry Rub, Mambi!  Keep it coming!

    5:30 – start with the disclaimer, and welcome to our FNG.  Challenge issued to the PAX to try to learn about our cohort during the workout so we can start the naming with some ideas!  Then mosey off towards MOMA to get started.

    Warm Up:

    Counts (and exercises?) are approximates.  But I think this is mostly right.

    • SSH x25
    • Windmills x12
    • Smurf Jacks x25
    • IW x25
    • Peter Parker x25
    • Floyd Mayweather x25
    • Parker Peter x25

    Bear Crawl over to the lightpole.

    Route 66

    Side Effects was always a fan of the Route 66.  One whole Sat AM workout was JUST Route 66.  6 of them, as I recall.  Just kept going down Esplanade Street.  Felt like it would NEVER END.

    Outbound – Squat Jumps.  1x at first light pole, 2X at the next, 3x, 4x, …. up to 11x at the end.  Al Gore on the netural ground for the 6.

    Inbound – Merkins.  1x, 2x, …. up to 11x back at the water fountain.  Plank and wait for the 6.

    Heat is here.  Humidity is out in force.  Everyone Hydrate, por favor…

    Tooth Fairy

    Another Side Effects special.  Irkins on the side MOMA stairs.  1x on the first stair, 2x on the second, 3x, 4x, … stopping at 10x.  The stairs go up to 14 (which is the expected measurement), but YHC audibled for the sake of time.

    4 groups (causing mass confusion, which YHC incorrectly blamed on bumbling PAX when it was, in fact, YHC who created this chaos through poor instructions).  Whatever.  Each PAX ended up cycling through the 4 stations.  Tooth Fairy was the timer.

    • Tooth Fairy
    • Continous Lunges
    • Continuous Dying Cockroach
    • Wall Sit

    Mosey back to the Fountain

    Fountain Times

    (or “Get in the way of the other morning group”)

    • Right Leg Step-up x20
    • Box Jump x10
    • Left Leg Step-up x20
    • Derkins x10
    • Dips x20
    • Irkins x10

    Mosey off to the Refinery.

    Refinery

    Side Effects always pushed us to get stronger, especially with Pull Ups.  7 stations.  Everyone partner up (PAX managed to get this right)

    • Burpees x12 (timer)
    • Jumpin’ the Shark
    • Pull Ups
    • Box Jumps
    • Dips
    • Knee-Ups
    • Merkins

    Everyone made it through one station.  (Thanks, Gabrielle, for the extra help to get YHC up to the pull up bar those last reps)

    The Surprise

    YHC had been cutting time short on some exercises to reserve time for one surprise, which he’d noticed on a drive through the park the night before.  More Bricks.  YHC has decided that adding bricks to the workout is a Good Thang, and plans to do it more.  And it so happens there was an unguarded pile o’ bricks right inside Tools Wall.  So everyone grab a pair.  (Much mumble chatter about who’s bricks were bigger.  CHILDREN.  PAY ATTENTION).

    • Newton’s Cradle x20
    • Jack Webbs: 1 Merkin: 2 Brick Presses.  OYO.  Go as far as you can.  YHC called time after 8:16
    • Shoulder Tabs x20

    Return the bricks just ahead of the park ranger arriving in his golf cart…

    Quick stop on the Tool Wall for Calf Raises x25 and Monkey Humpers x31.

    Mosey back to the Main Lawn, and one final sprint back to the flag.

    Lots of announcements to get through: Bible Study, Babycakes Game, Bar-a-thon, Summer Series, Summer cookout.  No shortage of F2 events coming up – hope to see everyone out!

    Count-off and Name-o-rama.  Then naming of the FNG.  Hoochey was a close 2nd, but the winner was Thigh Master, quickly shortened to just “Thighs”, coming from Suzanne Sommers, via Three’s Company.  And I don’t recall how we ended up on Three’s Company for him – but the name stuck.  Welcome aboard Thighs!

    Thanks for the opportunity to lead!

     

  • 610 Stomp is the Easiest Q Ever

    0530 struck and the scheduled Q was a fartsack.  “I’LL TAKE IT”, YHC passionately exclaimed, “The Stomp is the easiest Q there is.”   As Tool pointed out, this Back Blast is the hardest part.

    The Thang:

    30 min round trip on the traditional Bayou St. John route.   YHC enjoyed some quality F2 & mumblechatter with Tool & Hawgcycle.

    Back at the track for a climb down the sprint ladder.

    • Run as hard as you can for 400m; recover 100
    • Run as hard as you can for 300m; recover 200
    • Run as hard as you can for 200m; recover 300
    • RUN AS HARD AS YOU CAN FOR 100M; recover to the Flag

    Announcements – F2 opportunities ahead!!!  Beatdown with Tool tomorrow evening at the Lafitte Greenway followed by beers & burgers at Bayou Beer Garden.  Lakeview Running Club this Thursday and ever Thursday at the Basin.   Babycakes Baseball game next Thursday (May 17) for F2; let YHC know if you are coming and how many tickets you need.  The tickets are free, just like F3.

    F3 Opportunity available with Woz after Mothership/Coffeteria, Bible Study

    Thanks was given for the 300th anniversary of our city.  May She forever reign.  Intentions were said for her leaders and the impact they make on tomorrow.

    Thank you for the opportunity to lead.  It feels great to Q again.

  • Sweating on a Saturday wit “EMOM” and Dem!

    EMOM and DEM (you might have to be a “yat” to get it)

    What an awesome day to luck out as a fill in Q!  26 men decided to show up at the mothership for a Sat sweat which I wasn’t sure I had prepared to deliver.  But non the less the disclaimer was given and the Pax headed out, with one FNG in our group.

    We moseyed passed the grant lawn, with a few expected mumbles, for a longer run than most might have anticipated to then circle up next to the baby foundry and warm up.

    All in cadence:

    SSH x 25

    Slow toe touches x 25

    Windmills x 15

    Mnt Climbers x 25

    Shoulder Taps x 25

    Then we broke up into 7 groups (6×4 and 1×2) in order to utilize the foundry tools (some felt it was “too” close for comfort and modified):

    2 rounds of:

    Pull ups

    Incline push ups

    Step ups

    Dips

    Jump overs

    Hangs (some added leg crunches)

    Timer was 10 burpees (Hawg continued to encourage the ensure the over head clap was “heard” for good measure of performance).

    The PAX was ready for a 3rd round but there was a plan in place and we had a lot of work to complete, so mosey back to the great lawn.

    4 groups (2×7 and 2×6) Attack the corners with added burpees in the center x 2

    Each group started on a corner and completed exercise and reps prescribed by the QIC – then rotate (running) to the next corner while leaving corner #1 would run to center of lawn complete 5 burpees before going to corner #2, from #2 run long side to #3, from #3 run to center of lawn complete 5 burpees before heading to #4 then run long side to #1……repeat!

    #1 20 sqt jumps

    #2 10 each arm alternating push ups for total of 20

    #3 20 V Ups

    #4 20 Shoulder taps

    NOW, Pax was well oiled and lubricated, ready to finish strong!

    EMOM – EVERY MINUTE ON THE MINUTE

    QIC was nervous as there was just 20 minutes on the clock and there was no time to waste……had the PAX assemble in groups along the benches then barked out the instructions.

    15 Box Jumps…..cross the street and wait.

    Full Sprint to third tree (designated with big branch) and back!

    Bear Crawl out…..same tree

    Kong Back…..cross the street

    10 Burpees

    Every minute on the minute – So the faster you complete each THANG the more rest you get BUT the clock never stops for an expected 20 minutes of continuous effort!

    Pax (including the QIC) may have underestimated our fitness level as the 1st round was easier than expected BUT we all figured out quickly that rounds 2 and 3 kicked out butts!  Unfortunately we were not going to have enough time to complete the 4th round so instead of cheating the PAX out of the total 60 minutes we all showed up for, the QIC quickly transition to a bit of MARY –

    20 4 count flutter kicks

    1 minute of plank

    Then we headed back to the flag with pride that we all left a lot of sweat behind for Your Emom n dem!

    Circle Up – count off

    Today we had an FNG – now known as “Wetsuit”, big shout out of respect (54 as I recall), he came and hung with the group completing our stroll through the park.  No doubt I may have missed the opportunity of a more rounded “waterpick” name but maybe Wetsuit will bring an FNG that is a water skiing dentist!

    NameOrama – Intentions and closing prayer of thanksgiving!  God Bless!

    Planting a seed – Please check your family calendars for the month of July – looking to coordinate a F2 event where we can expand our camaraderie in a NON workout atmosphere, notice I didn’t say sweat as this would be Summer in NOLA  .  I’d like to suggest a Saturday afternoon, somewhere central for a BBQ with family friendly games.  July 14, 21 or 28.  More details to come!

     

     

  • Running. Remember that?

    Humidity is back.  Lights are still missing.  Tuesday morning at The Stomp, and Rudy was ready for a run.  Last few weeks have seen some variations from the tried-and-true out-and-back run, but YHC was looking to get some mileage in.

    A solid group of 7 PAX started off on the typical route.  Looks like Woz is going to be the rabbit WHOA WATCH OUT!  One lost Uber driver deposited a foreigner in our midst halfway down Roosevelt Mall and sped off into the darkness.  Welcome, Plunger (from Winston Salem)….

    The PAX resumed the run.  YHC enjoyed the convos with Woz and Plunger on the way out to Tulane and back.  Meet back at the flags at 610 for:

    • FK x50
    • Dolly x31
    • Boxcutter x31
    • 10 burpees OYO

    Gqther around the flag for count off, name-o-rama and COT.  Bar-a-thin and Summer Series are around the corner!

     

  • CelebrHATE on the small screen with Cowbell

    With Ed Daniels being drawn into the gloom by Triple Shift on this 610 Stomp sort of day, YHC saw the opportunity to make Cowbell famous, sending him off into his glorious thirties with a beatdown dedicated to celebrHATE this once in a lifetime occasion.  Surely this would lead to monuments being erected, with the possibility of memorials following his departure from this world.

    Spoiler alert:  Cowbell fartsacked.  Oh well, YHC tried……

    Back to the Ed Daniels bit.  YHC arrived at 0515 to find Triple Shift promoting the F3 organization to the sports reporter and his cameraman.  T-Claps to Triple Shift for spreading the word.  This will certainly help to maintain his crown as king of the EH.  Not that anyone was getting close to knocking him off that hill…….

    YHC made a quick mosey to the track to drop off some cones, more to come on that later.  Upon arriving back at the shovel flag that YHC planted, two more were planted next to it.  YHC almost gave the F3 flag a hug, as it hasn’t been seen in weeks.  As long as it has been cared for and used effectively, all is well.

    F3 Nation had a plethora of good names ready to throw at Ed Daniels, but apparently he did not show up for the beat down.  At least 19 men showed up in force to promote the power and awesomeness of F3.  With the cameraman hanging out in the area, the clock hit 0530, and so it begins:

    Disclaimer, and probably one too short judging by the scolding looks of Rudy.  But hey, “Not a professional trainer, so modify as needed” was said…..

    Tuesday is normally a run day, hence the 610 Stomp name.  Due to circumstances, we did a sudden change and did a quick mosey to the track.

    Circle up on the matting inside the track.  YHC still intended to celebrHATE Cowbell’s coming of age, but had to get something out the way first.

    Warmup

    SSH IC x 31

    With that out of the way, it was time to celebrHATE!

    COP

    Hillbilly’s IC x 20
    Alternating Shoulder Taps IC x 20
    Tempo Merkins IC x 10
    Escalator

    The Escalator is 5 exercises, composed of:
    10 Burpees OYO
    20 Merkins IC (Up Down cadence)
    30 Smurf Jacks (a tribute to Cowbell)
    40 Monkey Humpers IC – did YHC mention the cameraman was a female? Not absolutely certain, but this may have been when the film crew exited.
    50 Squats IC

    Indian Run twice around the track, or 1/2 mile.

    One final tribute to Cowbell – Smurf Jacks IC x 30

    Mosey to the inside grassy area of the track where the cones were set up for some suicides. Starting at first row of cones, sprint to second set, sprint back and do 5 merkins. Continue this to each set of cones, set up like a basketball court, a tribute to the end of March Madness. Not only did the track crew forget to turn the lights on, but YHC may have left out one row of cones. The start line should have been one set with 4 sets beyond, which caused some major confusion. So much confusion that YHC decided to do it again with burpees.

    Mosey to the first corner of the track for 4 Corners:

    Corner #1 – Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10 (there was much rejoicing) – Sprint to corner #2
    Corner #2 – Bobby Hurleys x 10 OYO (tribute to end of March Madness) – Sprint to corner #3
    Corner #3 – Merkins IC x 10 (there’s the 4 count the Pax was longing for) – Sprint to Corner #4
    Corner #4 – Iron Mikes IC x 10 (lunge jumps)

    Mosey back to the matted area for Ring of Fire #1
    All Pax hold the plank position. The first Pax does 5 merkins, then resumes plank. The ring of fire goes around to all the Pax.
    Ring of Fire #2
    Same as before, just replace with 5 Burpees. That’s a lot of planking!

    Mary

    Flutter Kicks IC x 30
    Hello Dolly IC x 25
    American Hammer IC x 20

    Times up, mosey back to the flag(s)

    COT

    Count off and Name-O-Rama
    We had one FNG, and no, it was not a reporter.  Welcome Phoenix!  Some claimed the name was too good, but they’re just jealous.  They all wanted Fracsac too, but it was specially reserved for YHC!

    Announcements, intentions, and closed with a prayer.

    Thanks for posting with me today and for putting up with my inability to design a proper court.

    Remember: F3 is an organization of leaders, not an organization with leaders. Each Pax is expected to be a leader in other groups outside F3, as well as within F3. To lead in F3 is easy, just sign up and take the Q here

     

    NMM

    If you didn’t notice, Bogey was especially happy this morning. He was the winner of the bracket pool, and will be exempt from any burpees this Saturday post Mothership. Here’s the Burpee count:
    Reluctant Yankee: 8
    YHC: 24
    El Guapo: 30
    Hokey Pokey: 32
    Seaman: 33
    Rudy: 35
    DaParish: 43
    Milkman: 56

    Come out Saturday and see the Burpee debt paid in full!

  • 610 Stomp: Through the Woods and up the Mountain

    6 F3 vets gathered around an actual flag on this perfectly gloomy morning.

    DISCLAIMER

    YHC was feeling like a throwback was due to mix things up a bit.

    The route:
    Go under 610 and take a left, past the dog park and cross harrison ave. (~1.5 miles)
    enter the woods of greater New Orleans, follow the trail (and Hawg) til we reach the highest land elevation in the city, just behind the rocky mountains in total feet. (~.5 miles)

    Once at the top, conveniently, there was a perfect ledge for #ISI. 2 minutes of Rocky Balboa’s.

    Head back to the flag (~2 miles) with 5 minutes to spare.

    30 X LBC
    20 X American Hammer
    20 X Crunchy Frog (RIP Shorty)
    20 X Penguin
    10 X J-Lo (RIP Amnesty)

    Finished with COT.

    Thanks for letting me lead!
