What is this?

In June 2013 Fraiser and Alf FNG’ed on the same day on a warm Saturday at Area 51.  Today was our first co-Q and 6 other men (1 FNG) joined the two of us for a brisk workout around the Day Zero stomping grounds.

Wait until 7:01 to see if any of the site-Q’s (past or present) would show up.  Nope. Nada. Not one. So off we went, each grabbing a medium sized rock on our way and out the back gate of the fields to the corner of Baybrook and Bevington.  Drop off the rocks and head over to the grassy knoll / dog walk park just off Bevington.  A bit of uneven ground and some frozen dog poop didn’t deter us from the COP.

– SSH x 25 IC

– IW x 25 IC

– Merkins x 27 IC (54 total for Iron Horse’s 54th birthday)

– Low Slow Squats x 20 IC

– Mountain Climbers x 20 IC
Run back to Baybrook and Bevington for the Triple Nickel.
Run to bottom of hill at other Bevington intersection and do 5 Burpees
Run to top of hill and do 5 thrusters with the rock.
Repeat 5x  (6x for Fraiser who lapped about half the PAX)
Take the rocks and mosey out to the front of the school and turn it over to Fraiser.

Audible in Ironhorse’s birthday.  Partner up by size.  All exercises are to 54.  First exercise curb step up with partner carry; Second round partner one planks while partner two jumps over partner one, Flapjack; Third round partner one holds partner two’s feet while they do merkins.  Flapjack; Last round 54 total over head presses while holding the other partner’s feet.

Five burpee jump ups to the bench while doing one leg squats on the bench.

Inch worm from parking lot to the benches for a series of merkins x 10 then inch worm back after each round.  First round incline diamond merkin; second round incline wide arm merkin, third round incline regular merkin; Lunge walk this time to the benches for fourth round decline diamond merkin; fifth round decline wide arm merkin; sixth round decline regular merkin.

Frog jumps from parking lot to the benches with your rock.  Diamond merkins x 10 frog jump back.

Frog jumps with rock from the parking lot to the benches five burpees with thrust with your rock.

Time for some unconventional Mary.

Line up on the curb elbow length from the next man.  Russian twist with rock doing the wave.  The first man hands the rock off to the man beside him all the way down and back that is one.  We got to five.

Protractor with the same methology.  We did five different degrees although many of the Pax could benefit from some yoga YHC included.

Last exercise.  Line up shoulder to shoulder in plank position.  Pass the rock underneath to the next man and back.  That is one.  Add in right leg up after round one; left arm up after round two; left leg up after round three and then right arm up after found four.

Pick up your rock and mosey back to the rock pile to deposit your rock.

This is were is got interesting.  There were four younger guys on the playground doing something exercise related.  After we stared and wondered for a while 54 pull ups between you and your partner was called.  The side show continued as we completed our exercise.

Mosey to the parking lot and circle up for flutter IC x 20 with alternating fast, slow and real slow.

Done!

Moleskine:
As the pax came in behind the school to drop the rocks and finish off some core work we noticed a a rival workout gang poorly attempting to do pull-ups and merkins with some poor form of cadence followed by the slowest mosey ever scene around the McAlpine fields.  Good thing Radar wasn’t there.  Might have bowed up on them and caused a scene.
A new FNG who used to wrestle in Iowa as nicknamed Unitard.  At Coffeteria Hops noted there was already a unitard and suggested Nacho Libre.  But a quick search of the site showed there is also a Nacho Libre already.  So we had to come up with another one.  (Fraiser: you pick, maybe turnbuckle, greco, something else?)  We will go with Singlet.
Observations: Nice call out by Alf on the comment between Floor Slapper and Flipper “nice job with pole”
Geradlo has great form on the lunges.
Ironhorse not looking a day over 53 is strong as ever.
Teddy continues to get stronger and faster at each workout.  Wonder what would happen if he attended more than once a week.
Despite no site Qs new or old being there we did not burn, break or tarnish the #F3DayZero name.
Thanks for the take out Ironhorse.

Good show men. An Un-Frasier-like last 30 min was quite unique. Reminded me of the Runstopper “we aren’t leaving the pavilion” workouts. Short distance – long on pain. Alf’s opening salvo with the Triple Nickel was quite unsavory. Only thing worse would have been to do it with Radar’s nasty sandbags. The men of F3 have added quite a bit to the “2nd half” of this journey of life – in all 3 F’s. Aye!
