Cool Runnings

Date: 2023-12-12 AO: fast-twitch Q: Alf PAX: Benny, Alf, gummy, hopper, Runstopper, Orange Whip, turkey_leg FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Run to the intersection THE THANG: Long starfish and meet back at Taco Bell for a mosey home.
Too cold out to stop and discuss directions this AM so we just ran. Everyone said it was awesome.
I will file a grievance with the city of Charlotte later today. We clearly have Squatters Rights to the Arbo parking lot and the Crunch Crowd is clogging up the works.
Prayers up for @Astro on a speedy recovery. Sorry you failed the “Turn your head and cough” test.
Party Orange Whips on Sunday. 6:30 start.

Thursting Coconut Aminos

Date: 2023-12-12 AO: _area-51 Q: Hops PAX: Clover, Cottonmouth, puddin_pop, deep_dish, jet_fuel, Snuka, Floor Slapper, Huddle House, MARTA FNGs: None COUNT: 10 YHC was 27 seconds late to Q the huddled pax at FC fka HN…but still beat Floor Slapper by 3-4 minutes. Was navigating kids’ vehicles and trying to find mittens #excuses. Thought @spackler was posting as I got a text from him at 0417…cheating on the FCfkaHN pax? Anyway circled up for COP, etc, etc. Puddin, who was relatively unflatulent, suggested we might go over 2 miles. Pretty sure we didn’t, but no idea. OP mafia apparently only posts at Hydra now; Huddle sure to follow suit once he offloads site Q responsibilities. Jet Fuel said no Makhtar N’Djayie’s, so we instead we had his brother Walthar join us. Did some burpees to end the morning’s festivities. Cottonmouth is a purveyor of coconut aminos…or was it enemas? He can help you with your form, too. Snuka only eats broccoli; MARTA is considering a career switch to insurance so he doesn’t have to work. Clover says you have to ask permission to take a piss in England, and Deep Dish was basking in the orange & purple glow of another Clemson national championship. Emmanuel. Christmas party at chez Whip – 1830h on Sunday.

No Q, no Alternate Q, “Here we go”

Date: 2023-12-12 AO: swift Q: bratwurst PAX: frasier, bratwurst, soft_pretzel, Wolverine, midriff, Whitaker (Gump), kirby FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: It’s 0515 and no Q, so let’s head towards the most logical place this workout should be, but was not Preblasted to be. Alternate Q is struggling to catch up and the PAX circle for the 6 to make sure everyone is together. At the Bull Ring putting green, we get in some dynamic warmup exercises until 0530ish and then group for the workout instructions.
THE THANG: Intervals counting down from 1200m, 1000, 800×2, 600, 400, 200. Recovery of 400M. Pace starting at 10k, working down to 5k, 200 at AYG
Everyone got moving quickly with the frost in the air, but fortunately the streets were still warm and water puddles were not frozen. PAX warmed up quickly and were giving full efforts. Gump and Midriff were drag racing the last 200m while the group cheered them home. A little late back to the lot, but the Bagpipe group was gracious to wait.
Instead of “3,2,1” to start intervals, we are adopting Dak Prescott’s “Here we go” https://youtu.be/f2xgCs1rjK4?si=rabLNmzYTH77HeY9 because Soft Pretzel loves it so much.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: This Friday is Deck the Halls. decks at 0430, more decks at 0530, and cookies at 0630.
COT: Wild Turkey from the Bagpipers took us out.

Get skunked

Date: 2023-12-12 AO: skunk-works Q: Mountain Momma PAX: Smokey, Header, stonecold FNGs: None COUNT: 4 WARMUP: the usual – side straddle hops, imperial walkers and Sharon towers followed by a warm up lap THE THANG: we got through 4 rounds of this: do 8-10 reps of each of the following: Lawnmower L Bell pushup R Bell pushup L Lawnmower R RDL L RDL R 2 hand swing Reverse lunge L Reverse lunge R One arm thruster R One arm swing R One arm swing L One arm thruster L
Lots of food talk in the mumble chatter, starting with Headers trip to the Daniel Boone Inn last weekend to celebrate his son’s engagement. The conversation graduated to discussion of Little Tommy butchering chickens and grandma’s offal loaf made from a pig’s head. There was a debate about livermush v scrapple and the Shelby livermush festival got mentioned. Smokey brought it down for a landing with the Applewood Smokehouse in Pigeon Forge. MARY: Time for some Vups and a little stretching ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Stonecold Skunkmas will be next week, looking for a convergence for the 26th, Orange Whips Christmas party is the 17th COT: Prayers of thanksgiving and love, healing for my knee that flared up during the workout

Look, it’s Frehley’s Comet!

Date: 2023-12-11 AO: swole Q: frehleys_comet PAX: Uncle Leo, frehleys_comet, The Worm, wildturkey, flipper FNGs: None COUNT: 5 WARMUP: SSH, Swings, Merkins, IW THE THANG: Deconstructed Voodoo Complex 8, 6, 4, 2 reps, LawnMower and KB Merkin Pull-Throughs, Heavy Carries, Assorted Squats
MARY: elbow plank, Flute Bridge, hollow body hold
It was great to have Frehley’s back out there with us, and enjoyed that his Q brought WT back into the fold, even if just for one morning. There was a good amount of banter, but TWSS did not make an appearance. Knowing FC wouldn’t have a speaker, YHC came with the tunes and the Q appreciated Pandora’s take on 80s rock and roll, but questioned her choice from John Cougar’s library.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Deck the Halls this Friday Holiday Party 12/17
COT: FC took us out

Mumblechatter covered fantasy football glory and gripes (unsurprisingly Voodoo’s team is in the lead in his league, while YHC’s and MARTA’s prospects are looking more grim), weekend plans, and ambiguous reactions to the somewhat gloomy playlist. Nevertheless, good pump and great to see some of the OG South Charlotte pax join us as well. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x high-pulls (e/s), synovial circles, 5x slingshots (e/w) THE THANG: 1) Complex A (4 sets) – Lawnmowers (5x e/s) – Transformer squats (5x e/s) – Snatches (5x e/s) 2) Pelosi Ladder 3) Complex B (6 sets) – Deadlift to upright row to goblet squat to overhead press (5x) 4) Swing/Press EMOM (10 min) – Minute A: 15x heavy swings – Minute B: Clean and 4x presses (e/s) 5) Merkin/Row Inverse Ladder (-/+ 2x each exercise) (5 sets) – Start: 10x merkins / 2x renegade rows – Finish: 2x merkins / 10x renegade rows 6) Voodoo Carries (3 rounds; single bell) – Round 1: Suitcase down, Voodoo complex (1x e/s), suitcase back – Round 2: Rack down, Voodoo complex (2x e/s), rack back – Round 3: Waiter down, Voodoo complex (3x e/s), waiter back 7) Complex C (2 sets) – SLDL (8x e/s) – 10x heavy swings MARY: – Louganis (10x) – Glute Bridge ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Holiday party coming up on Dec. 17th – See Orange Whip’s pre-blast – Prayers for the pax fighting silent battles, especially during the holidays – may God show us His mercy and let us receive His grace COT: Joined with the men of the Rock for COT and ending prayer

I made ten pounds of fudge this morning

Date: 2023-12-09 AO: stonehenge Q: fire_hazard PAX: midriff, wildturkey, ToeJam FNGs: None COUNT: 4 4 men cruised in for a sandbag preworkout…. not sure toejam had planned on that, but he played along.
we had 5 sandbags so we completed the following 5 exercises then completed a lap around the lot.
Squat dead lift curl overhead press bent over row Bags weighed from 40-60 lbs
No one else showed up so we went on our merry way.
Head toward lochness for some warmups (we were already warm but this is what we do at F3).
Do a large circuit around lochness and into the fitness trail with the following exercises. 10 pull ups – fitness trail 10 big boy dips – fitness trail 10 derkins – picnic tables 10 jump ups – first wall 10 flutters IC – second wall 10 burpees – side walk convergence do 5 rounds.
This left us with 15 minutes, so we headed to the bull ring. One lap around with 2 burpees at every speed bump.
head home and stop for 30 big boy situps along the way.
YHC judged the time wrong and we had a minute and a half left when we got back so we did as many burpees as we could for the last 90 seconds.
quick COT and then bagels.
Announcements: come to Deck the Halls.
All of the crew pushed hard today. Wildturkey seemed to really love the burpees. they are his favorite. I think this is the most I have seen our runner friend Midriff’s hands on the ground in a long time. Toejam pushed hard today and brought a light so we could see on the trail.
Great work from all. Thanks for the chance to lead.
