I Wish I Could Think of a Clever Title

I Wish I Could Think of a Clever Title

The title is as important as the workout right? I read a BB I’m not part of occasionally if it gets lots of t-claps or comments. But more often if it has a clever name.  Don’t you?

Should I go with “Trent Frasier, Frasier Trent?” or maybe “Bracket Buster”? Oh well…

After a somewhat unorganized Disclaimer, here’s what we did.

Mosey to far side of Best Buy.

C-up

• SSH x 15
• Imperial walker x 15
• LSS x 15
• Amer hammer x 15

Line everyone up at first row of parking spaces.  Uneven numbers, though I tried to count myself twice, so i had to abandon the partner idea.

• Partners if even welbarrow to next row flapjack to 2^nd row
• Bear crawl to next row of spaces, lunge walk to 2nd row, bear crawl to 3rd, lunge walk to 4th  
• Plank for 6
• Line up facing start – AYG back to first row parking
• We had so much fun the first time, we got to Repeat

Line up shoulder to shoulder in plank

• First in line, flip around facing row of guys
• Hand slap merkin with each guy all the way to end
• Repeat until everyone has gone

Interesting that everyone didn’t get this right away…or they just didn’t want to do the merkins.  ha-ha.  Or I give terrible directions.

Mosey around back of best buy, line up at the wall in people’s chair. (Hey look, someone left a sand bag conveniently by the wall.)

People’s chair shoulder to shoulder

• Pass sandbag down and back
• Repeat. Pass sandbag down and back with 2 shoulder raises each

Line up single file

• Indian run to Old Navy
• Guy in back carry’s sandbag, passes to guy in front of him and sprints to front of line
• Repeat

Partner derkins x 10 each

Line up single file

• Indian run to fountains by Brixx
• Guy in back carry’s sandbag, passes to guy in front of him and sprints to front of line
• repeat

At fountains – dips x 10, step ups x 10, derkins x 10

Head to playground

• Partner one does pullups / partner two runs to starbucks bushes and back
• Flapjack
• Repeat with squats
• Repeat with merkins

Check time… only 8 after the hour.  I was just about done with my plan.

Head back to BBT near start with sandbag

• Circle up in plank
• First guy runs around circle with sandbag
• Mary Kay thought it would be harder if we went around the actual bank building w the sand bag, so that’s what we did
• Rest do called exercise (merkins, elbow plank, 6 inches, diamond merkins, various mary, etc)
• Repeat until everyone runs around the bank with the bag o sand

Still had about 15 minutes to cover so we ran around to the front part of the town home division by the bank.  Along the driveway Bucky reminded me there are 6 street lamps on the right that leads up to the second stop sign.

Run towards 2nd stop sign adding a burpee at each street light starting at beginning with one. Plank for 6 and return the way we came doing a squat at each light, plus one each time.

Head back to start. With 45 seconds for a little more elbow plank.

Done

Mole:

Great group of guys came out this morning. I wasn’t sure the turnout with P200 guys out for the race, but we had 11 and an FNG, Paul. More on that at the end…

The guys got after it today. We only covered 2.5 but the workouts in between was what got everyone gassed. Great to see Chopper back at it. Marlin quietly crushes every exercise, he’s a beast. Mighty Mite is a bad ass too. (PS. Don’t do shots with him, he’s a bad ass at that also.) Mic Check and Bucky stay in front at every workout I’ve seen them at. Lewinsky and Scratch and Sniff are a great add to the PAX. Hard work and great attitudes for whatever terrible directions I throw at them. If you guys haven’t seen Mary Kay since late summer, it’s too late. That dude’s gone, same great guy, yes, but he’s crushing these workouts like it’s his job. You may not recognize him.  And he’s the new site Q at Rebel yell. Way to contribute my man.  Good to see Gruden out there killin it too – thanks for bringing Paul, even if it was your wife’s idea. ha-ha

A few weeks ago I read a BB by Snowflake “Better Than Chocolates”. He wrote about a sand bag workout with people’s chair and Indian runs. So I’m not original, but I’m not dumb either.  I saved that in the memory banks for later.  It looked awesome and, as it turns out, it was awesome. Meaning; difficult and I’m actually a little sore today from carrying that sandbag around.  I dropped it behind the Best Buy on my way in. At least I didn’t make you guys carry around the cinder blocks I had with me.  Side note…that with a roll of duct tape, was an interesting shopping cart I was wheeling around Home Depot.

I also used the hand slap merkin thing I did during a Cheddar workout a while back.  That sucks too…in a good way. I checked the time around the playground part of the weinke and determined quickly that I didn’t plan enough to get through the hour. That’s when I thought Bracket Buster was the right title. You guys chime in later.

After a few announcements we got to what’s important, naming the FNG. Mic Check was peppering him with questions along the way about work and school. Pretty funny stuff, prepping for this moment.  I recorded the names as usual in case I forgot anyone, I didn’t, but this isn’t about me.  At the end I left it recording… so I captured all the bad ideas. It took us nearly two minutes to get back to the first choice. He said his name, Paul Frasier. Mighty Mite said it immediately.  I  responded that I liked it. Then we went through a few others and me and Mary Kay said it again. This time evryone got it and it stuck.  Please welcome TRENT to the F3 family.  He’s a good guy and already good at this workout thing. He’ll fit right in.

Chopper thanks for the take out!

Google Mission Uprising, by Elevation. Lewinsky highly recommends.

A few other things I didn’t listen to in the recording because I was laughing.

See You in the Gloom
