We picked things up and put them down…

8 MEN embraced the Gloom of Ballantyne to start the week off right by moving some heavy metal.

No FNGs so quick disclaimer was given and off we went.

Clearly YHC hasn’t been to Foxhole in a while – couldn’t find the playground – it had been moved. Finally found the playground with the help of the regulars.

Warm-up.

Around the world x 5 in both directions
Figure 8 x 5 in both directions
Good Mornings x 10
Prying Goblet Squats x 5

Finished

distance covered – just over 0.0

Great Crew today – thanks Chanel for the chance to Q – really enjoyed starting the week with this workout. Welcome Site FNG Dear Abby trying out his new bell. Keep coming back.

C&P is a great exercise to load up some weight and get stronger.

Also, YHC was reminded that while Korn is good angry man music – to the Hate Hates, its still older music, when Dear Abby said one Korn song was one of his favorites when he was in elementary or middle school…Point take YHC is old and was also the WD of the workout…ouch.

C&P ladders aren’t complete smokers but will make you stronger and definitely give the arms and shoulders a workout. Adding in the pull-ups then finishing off with the 10 minutes did make it more of a smoker than YHC originally intended – but everyone was crushing the ladders this am and we got thru them fast than expected. Solid work.

Some notables – Brown providing guidance on the hip hinge for the swing by comparing it to how he picked up women during spring break (you will need to ask him for more details). Chanel and Mighty Might both crushing the ladders pushing 60lbs today. Solid work brothers. Chippy – cobains for making fun of the 35lb KB once YHC found out you had back problems. Solid work. Dear Abby and Fire Hazard were doing great and learning the proper form on the swings, snatches and C&Ps. Madam was all business crushing this workout in typical MT fashion.

Enjoy working out with this solid KB crew. Thanks for the opportunity to lead – it was a privilege. And YHC is still looking for a softer place to do TGU’s – unless its a yoga mat there isn’t one.

Thanks again brothers.

Announcements:

Sign up for Golf – Brown is prize Q and sounds like we are hooked up

Pay for Mudrun sundries

Chanel has lined up some solid Qs for the next month or so – great chance to learn some new moves with the KB and get better at the ones you already know – come on out. Its a great AO.

Thats all YHC has – shout out if anything was missed.

Champagne Out.

The Cinder Block Easter Party

15 SOB’s showed up for the advertised block party, hopefully all left a little stronger. YHC brought 20 blocks weighing 28.7lb good old fashioned cinder blocks, the goal was not to let the block leave your side for 60 minutes, mission accomplished. Disclaimer given and off we went.

Great effort today, the PAX really bought into working out with the block so much Parfait decided to bring his along for coffee and a bagel. Mighty Mite & Haggis had there normal battle of who’s the toughest SOB, Beebo really pushed it out there today he’s getting stronger every week, Parfait, Wild Turkey and Commish keep pushing brothers you are getting stronger. Loogie & Fireman are ready for the mudrun and Chipotle is ready for the BRR. Glad to have my sidekick back from New Zealand, Outback enjoys giving me hard time.

COT

Naked Moleskine:

It was great to be out in beautiful Union Co, with some of the pax YHC had not seen in quite some time.  And it was great to meet some new faces.  UC is growing, come on out and join them.  Sun Valley is a great AO, it’s got everything including Tractor TIRES just waiting for you to flip em!  YHC could not resist the temptation.

Big welcome to FNG, David, now know as Big Trade…Hershel Walker lookalike.  He was EH’d by Zorro who instructs his 2.0 in fencing.  We hope to keep seeing you at F3.

Strong work by everyone out this am…we covered a lot of distance and got a full body workout.

Crab-barrow is akward and tough on the triceps.  Stadium stairs followed by a 400 will take the wind right out of ya…of course the Mudrun will do that too.

Late Show, Game Show, Espresso….these guys like to rhyme in the UC.

Thanks to HH, CT, and GJ for letting me come out and lead the fine men of UC.  God bless you guys.

Announcements:  Keep Zipadee in your prayers, F3 Golf, Mudrun next weekend but there will be Outland.

 

 

We pick things up and put them down.

Tomorrow YHC has Q at Foxhole and we will be picking things up and putting them down. Bring out the heavy bells and YHC will do his best to channel his inner Pavel. Bring a bell that you can press a max – 5 to 8 times. Also, bring one a size down as we will do some training on new moves at the end.

Looking forward to it.

Champagne

Michael Jordan Would be Proud

Eight men started their Easter weekend off the right way and posted at Olympus this morning and here’s what we did:

Mosey to the basketball court with basketballs, jump ropes and of course, kettlebells in tow. Circle up for:

COP

10 two-handed KB swings OYO

SSH x 20 IC

10 two-handed KB swings OYO

Imperial Walker x 20 IC

20 two-handed KB swings OYO

Merkins x 15 IC

20 two-handed KB swings OYO

Basketball Skills Time:

With today being Final Four Saturday I thought what better time to show off our basketball skills or lack thereof in YHC’s case. 2 Pax at a time dribble balls to second goal and make a layup or jump shot if you’re feeling confident. Dribble back to the first goal, do the same and then return to the pax. Waiting pax perform called exercise(that was decided by the 2 men shooting baskets). Keep rotating until each pair had made two runs at the goals. Some of the called movements: Good mornings, Lawnmowers, CDD’s, 2 Hand Swing with push press, tricep extensions, get ups (with or without bell).

Jump Rope Rotation

Partner up-kettlebell size not important. P1 jumps rope while P2 performs KB movement, then flapjack. KB movement serves as the timer for the pax jumping rope.

Rnd 1: 25 Two-Hand Swings

Rnd 2: 20 Upright Rows

Rnd 3: 10 Burpee Squat Thrusts

Rnd 4: 5 Snatches per side

Rnd 5: 20 Merkins

Rnd 6: 30 LBC’s

Strength Circuit:

Set 1: 10 Snatches per side/5 Racked Squats per side/10 Figure 8’s/10 Racked lunges per side

Set 2: 8 Snatches per side/10 Goblet Squats/10 Clean & Press per side/10 Bicep Curls

Set 3: 6 Snatches per side/10 Good Mornings/10 One-Hand Swings per arm/3  Vikings per side

Set 4: 4 Snatches per side/10High Pulls per side/15 Bench Press/10 Cleans per side

AMRAP in 5 Minutes:

x10 Diamond Merkins on bell

x10 Around the Worlds(10 clockwise/10 counter clockwise)

x10 Sumo Squats

Less than a minute left, time for 20 LBC’s IC and that’s a wrap.

Moleskin:

Great work out there today and a good group as well being Easter weekend and the start of CMS spring break. I think MJ would marvel at our outstanding basketball skills, All handled the ball well and made good on most of their shots. I even saw Ickey Shuffle sink an impressive jumper. UNC could have used us on their tourney run #wouldbefinalfourbound. The jump rope was my attempt at implementing some good cardio without the running. Hard to get a good gauge on that one as the heavy wind was making it hard on us to get good jumping rhythm in except for Southpaw and BLC who seemed to be having no trouble. I could tell Byron really enjoyed that part of the workout(Happy Birthday Brother). Good having Whiplash out there who I think is a site FNG unless my memory fails me. Also good to have Probation out working hard  after yet another knee surgery, way to keep pushing it!   Chum killed it as usual and even punished us with those painful get ups(not the Turkish variety) during basketball drills.

Announcements:

Sign up for the F3 Golf Outing

Benefit next Sunday the 12th at Olde Meck. Brewery to help a neighbor of Ickey Shuffle. They have a young child battling a severe form of cancer and a portion of every purchase goes to help that family.

Continue to keep Zip in your prayers.

Thanks to Byron for a strong prayer to take us out!

Pleasure to lead you fine men today

 

 

 

 

What was lacking in creativity was made up for with pain.

9 Strong men decided to see what The Rock and its great AO had to offer this morning. Hopefully they weren’t disappointed.

YHC had several plans in mind when today started but couldn’t decide which worked. When 9 pax showed this am – YHC went with an old solid plan – continuous motion – forgive the lack of creativity for using an older workout.

Mostly veteran crew today with one Kotters – so abbreviated disclaimer was given and off we went.

Quick mosey to the front lot for COP

*- In cadence

*20 X SSH
5 burpees OYO
*20 x IW
5 burpees OYO
*20 x Slow Squat
5 burpees OYO
*20 x Mtn Climbers
5 burpees OYO
5 x super slow merkins civilian count (down hold for 5 seconds up hold for 5 seconds = 1 rep) – crowd pleaser – and for the record down does not mean on your belly.

The Thang

Short jog to playground to provide guidance for rest of workout (complete Q fail here because didn’t provide enough guidance and caused more confusion than help, but it was all worked out by end of first round)

Divide into teams of 3.

Pax #1 goes to station 1 – picnic table area – 10 jump ups, 10 dips, 10 derkins

Pax #2 – goes to playground: 10 pull-ups, 10 donkey kicks, 5 burpees – rinse and repeat until relieved

Pax #3 – started at exit 4 but audibled to parking lot just up from exit due to car traffic at Calvary. Distance approx. 25 yards
Lunge walk 25 yards – 5 burpees, bear crawl back – 5 jump squats – rinse and repeat until relieved.

It went like this. Station 1 was the timer – Pax 1 would complete 10 jump ups, 10 dips and 10 derkins then run to station 2 to relieve Pax 2. Pax 2 then went to the 4th exit to relieve Pax 3, who would then run all the way back to station one and start the cycle over again. Goal was 3 complete cycles but due to the confusion, we were able to get 2 2/3s and covered close to 3 miles.

Few minutes left – 6 MOM (minutes of mary)

Flutters x 50 Cadence.

Finished

NMM

Solid work by everyone today – this workout runs great with a smaller group like today. Kotters to K9 – good to have you back out – keep coming. And thanks to Drill for bringing him back out.

Great to have Greenbean from Alt with us again, here for work and Easter holiday. Looking forward to the growth explosion we expect to see in Atl with the upcoming LEAP work going on.

The Mouth, Deep Dish and BOG were the team to chase all morning – they crushed it. Spandex and Cotton Mouth are both machines – pushing our team the entire time too.

Two things YHC is certain of – burpees and bear crawls do not get any easier but they will make you stronger. #ISI

It is always an honor to Q and lead a great group of F3 men like this to start the day off. YHC is very thankful for the opportunity.

Shout out in the comments anything YHC missed.

If you got it, flaunt it at Ascent

So the bugeater mobile came in hot on 2 wheels after its long approximately 10 block journey to the turf at Olde Providence Elementary school. When the smoke settled and the crew were rest assured that their Q had arrived to lead them, 9 pax began what would be a most memorable hour that went something like this:

Warm Up Lap on Track (high knees, butt-kickers)

Skywalker mumbled

Circle Up: SSHx25, DISCLAIMER PROVIDED, MCx20, Merkinsx15

Skywalker chattered

Mosey to Playground and partner up: 2 rounds of Situpsx25(partner plank on feet), partner assisted pullupsx10

Skywalker told a joke (at least he thought it was funny)

Mosey to Concessions: 2 rounds of 30/20/10s (30 dips, 20 jump ups/step ups, 10 burpees) – plank while wait

Skywalker talked some more

Mosey to football fields: Karaoke Left 50 yards, Karaoke Right 50 yards

Skywalker said this

Merkin Ladder: There and Backs: Run 20 yards there, 10 Merkins, Run 20 yards back, 9 Merkins…down to 1

Skywalker said that

On Six for some core: Freddy Mercury x 25, Protractor of various degrees for 2 minutes

Somebody else actually said something before Skywalker did

1/2 mile Mosey to and through Forest of OP

Skywalker made some mention of man breasts (thus appropriately named title of this back blast)

Up and Over Benches x 8 with Carolina Dry Dockx10  at each end (3 rounds)

Skywalker discussed the legalities of real estate and how it really is not legal to re-enter a home even though you once owned it as this is NOT Nebraska and QIC’s idea of entering old home to drink OJ from fridge would be technically breaking and entering. Geez. We ain’t in Nebraska any more!

Mosey to Olde Providence Foxworth and Queensberry for Top and Bottom work. Heels to Heaven x 20 (Bottom) return to top for Dollyx10 (2 rounds)

Skywalker conversed

1/4 mile American Line Run back to forest entrance, Merkins x 10

Skywalker discussed

Mosey through forest and back to Parking Lot

At request of Skywalker as his idea of best use of remaining 30 seconds, Burpees x 10

Count-o-rama: 1,2,3..9

Name-o-rama

Ball of Man – take out by who would you think? Skywalker indeed. Actually very solid prayer and words Skywalker, great words for this big Easter weekend.

Moleskin:

We traveled most parts of the terrain offered up at OP. The pax were lively and ready for a packed hour. About 40 minutes in we informed it was a 2 hour workout. There was immediate mumble chatter, refusenik speak, and talks of mutiny began to rise through the ranks. After listening to reason, and wanting to live, QIC pulled the idea back and settled back down to the normal one hour format. I would not want management to get a phone call as I may lose my QIC job.

Great to see Strange Brew as he claimed we had not done a workout together for a long time. Part because there are so many A51 workouts and part because I have been a lazy, no good, pax with claims of hurt back, stomach bugs, pink eye, bulging disc, IT band (oh that’s Mall cops excuse), crooked eye, gimp, hang nail, nipple reduction surgery. Anyhow, all excuses aside because High Tide just wasn’t having it and said “Bugeater you will show up and Q Ascent or else I will make you golf with me at the F3 Golf tournament in April.”

63-year old War daddy New Trick was amazing out there. Some modifications but dude rocked the pull ups and showed off some great fitness. Also Blue Bomber showed true grit and determination. FNG last week and 3 workouts this week and the man is as motivated guy you will meet. He is also an executive recruiter so bring your resumes fellas. Sid the Kid informed this was as much running as he has done in a long, long time. He also troopered along and we as one pax, started and finished together. “Easy in the front” said QIC, “this is a moderate intensity workout”. Its hard to hold Swiss Miss and Strange Brew back, they are like stallions.

Last is there any statute on renames. I really don’t like having to call Tootie, “Tootie”. It just is not manly to say, little own have to carry it along with you to every workout. Perhaps we can inquire the the grand poobahs of F3, or at least we can call Tiger Rag.

Anyhow, this moleskin better find its ending. My fingers hurt. The after party at Starbucks found Spackler looking about as bad as I have ever seen him, which is not saying too much. Looks like he literally just came from a party. What social circles do you run in Spack?

Thanks Brew and High Tide for the opportunity to lead this motley crew today. It was about as much fun to start a weekend as a guy can have at 7 AM Saturday morning.

Spartans! PUSH! Spartans! Prepare for glory! (or spring break)

15 Spartan-esque beasts emerged from the gloom and mist of Joust stadium to re-define the pain of 300

 The Thang:

Team up into groups of 3.

Each group picks a single kettle bell of choice to be carried for the duration.

Mosey to the Stadium. Dropped off KBs at the track and Mosey to 50 yard line for COP.

 COP:

20 SSH

30 LBC oyo

20 Imperial Walkers

30 LBC oyo

20 LSS

1 Lap around the track 75%

 4 Corners:

Partner 1 – KB swings while partner 2 & 3 do said exercise.

Partner 2 & 3 – 30 LBC’s at each corner

Mosey to each corner.

At each corner Partners trade for KB and do KB swings.

 Repeato

Partner 1 – KB Pulllovers while partner 2 & 3 do said exercise.

Partner 2 & 3 – 30 squats at each corner

Mosey to each corner.

*An Audible was called at turn 3. Apparently Grandma was calling and we busted it up Grandma Mountain and back to then continue 4 corners*

At completion of Lap 3, the Spartans were in need of some continued Leg Pain. ….Mosey to the bleachers.

 Bleacher Work:

Partner 1 hustles with KB to top of stairs and does 20 two-handed KB swings while partner 2 & 3 do bleacher step ups. Upon partner 1 returning, the ole switch off. Until each team does 2 full rounds of said exercises.

We then modified to 10 KB swings and did one more round to the chagrin of the beasts.

Mosey to the top of the bleachers.

30 LBC’s oyo

 Peoples Chair (conclusion):

Peoples Chair would continue the quad pain and at 30 second increments we lowered 1 inch and passed KBs to the left, until each Spartan held his own for two rounds. 30x Air Presses each round completed the drama.

Mosey as a team with KBs to COT

Circle up:

30 LBC’s

Header Hi-Jacked and called:

15 Burpees

300 LBCs total

TYVM Header for taking us out!

 moleskin:

YHC hopes that his VQ was challenging. Joust is by far my toughest workout and to lead these beasts today was a real honor. Great to see Bundle back out there today. He killed.

I noticed that the chatter ended and quickly turned to complaints, which made me very happy.

Special props to all of you first-time KB beasts. KBs are incredibly fun and challenging. I hope you’ll consider checking out some of the KB AO sites. If you hammered through today, you could make it at any KB workout ….unless Tiger Rag is on Q. Then, by all means… run… or you will surely die, especially the next morning when you try to roll out of the fart sack. 🙂

We had a surprise visitor at the COT who was jogging by. We engaged him (of course) and tried to shame him into coming next Friday, although im not sure he valued our wisdom.

To make a long sappy story very short, F3 has been an amazing journey for me. I want to thank my good friend and beast Header for EH’ing me (although it began with shaming me) into this brotherhood. Also, for the chance to VQ at Joust. Amazing. I also have to thank Slimfast, StrangeBrew and Geraldo for cheering me on at my first AO @Peak51. Stonecold, TigerRag, Bulldog, Sanka and Sssssudio were also huge encouragements and inspirations to me. There are many more of you…. THANK YOU

I AM CLYDESDALE. I’m pretty…but im not fast.
