Fat Camp Goes Supercritical

Fat Camp Goes Supercritical

In a nuclear reactor, the neutron population at any instant is a function of the rate of neutron production (due to fission processes) and the rate of neutron losses (due to non-fission absorption mechanisms and leakage from the system). When a reactor’s neutron population remains steady from one generation to the next (creating as many new neutrons as are lost), the fission chain reaction is self-sustaining and the reactor’s condition is referred to as “critical”. When the reactor’s neutron production exceeds losses, characterized by increasing power level, it is considered “supercritical”, and when losses dominate, it is considered “subcritical” and exhibits decreasing power. Today, Fat Camp was amped up to Supercritical!

Since this was my VQ, I had to got big and ensure all who attended felt like an A-bomb exploded on their body and the fallout (muscle fatigue) was guaranteed!

Warm-up:

• Run Around Parking Lot
• 30 SSH IC
• 15 Low Slow Squat
• 15 Windmill

The Thang:

1. Good’ol AMRAP pain stations rotating stations as follows:

• Hanging Leg Raises
• Lateral Moving Pull-ups
• 100lb Weighted Sled Pulls in Squat Stance
• Weighted Sled Pushes
• Merkin Ladder (Alternating Normal/Wide arm and Normal/Diamond arm)
• Sand Bag Run Around Parking Lot (Station Timer)
• (REPEAT 3 Times Total)

2. After 3 full sets of the AMRAP, mosey over to the benches.

• 15 Box Jumps OYO
• 10 count requested to General, but the box jumps were too much for him so Kirby did count.
• 20 Dips OYO
• 10 count by Escobar
• 15 Box Jumps OYO
• 10 count by Fire Hazard
• 20 Dips OYO

3. Mosey back to launch, with 5 minutes left, circle up to chisel the abs with each PAX leading an exercise. Most likely I’m making up these exercises since YHC has a horrible memory, but its close.

• 20 Box Cutters by YHC
• 15 LBC by Escobar
• 15 Super Mans with extra special pulses by Bounty Hunter
• 15 JLOs (or something of the sort) by Kirby
• 15 Hello Dolly’s by General
• 20 Flutters by Fire Hazard
• 15 Russian Twists by Fahvra

4. COT – YHC with the Takeout

Moleskin

I’m grateful for all those who showed up to support my first Q and those who couldn’t make it but gave me encouragement beforehand. The M thought I was crazy for how much time I spent prepping for my VQ, but Fat Camp is no ordinary AO, so I had to go big for the sake of those who look forward to a solid gear beat down!

• Once Fahvra realized the AMRAP in store, he wished he hadn’t worked his back at the gym on Tuesday. Just when you think you have a fighting chance to out perform Fahvra, he transforms to some sort of radioactive superseian and grabs 2-50lb sand bags for his runs around the parking lot. This guy needs to be checked for radiation overdose or something…
• Fire Hazard and General partnered up and beasted through all the stations like it was the easiest thing they’d ever done! At one point I look over at Fire Hazard doing the merkin ladder so fast I thought his arms were springs or something. These guys even modified the pull-up station to do some sort of synchronized pull up routine… no comment.
• Escobar continues to impress me everything he posts to Fat Camp. Solid effort!
• Kirby was inspired by Fahvra and ran with 2-50lb sand bags. The guy crushed it and made YHC look weak for only running with one sand bag!
• I don’t think FNG Double-Check knew what he was getting in to, but he did great and kept pace with even the seasoned PAX. Nice work and I hope to see you post again!

I want to give a special shout out to General. This guy has continued to push me at every work out and helps drag me out of the fart sack if I’m feeling lazy! He has shown me what a true PAX looks like and has helped me build the strength and confidence to lead. When I first started F3, he stuck by me as the six, at the expense of his his own gains. I respect this guy is so many ways and I’m honored to workout along side him! He is humble and selfless, and always willing to help the PAX. His leadership with being a site Q and leading as a guest Q at many other AOs shows his commitment to F3 and demonstrates what F3 is all about! You are an inspiration brother!
