Workout in the Cloud

Workout in the Cloud

Sounds like a virtual workout but it wasn’t. I assure you it was quite physical. “What could be more humid? How about if we workout inside a cloud?” Gerber was right. We had a foggy morning and it was nasty. The great part about these muggy mornings is you really feel like your money’s worth.

7 guys for Homecoming. DiCCS provided and were off. A nice warm up Mosey up the entrance road hill with some stretches and such at the top. Down to the bottom for a couple of hill repeats. 10 Merkins at the top and 10 Dry Docks at the bottom. Repeato.

Partner time. We don’t get enough ab work on the regular. I was aiming to fix that. 150 Big Bois, 150 Flutters (2=1), 150 and In and Outs. Partners alternate running the loop.

Mosey to the elementary school side. At each of the numbered columns, starting with 8, do burpees then run a loop, working your way down to 1. Instant whining from the pax. Apparently Chatterbox just did this on Tuesday. Yeah, but I’m nicer and we started at 8 and work our way DOWN so it gets easier as you go. More whining. Fine. Audible to only the even numbers.

Apparently not all the pax heard the audible so a few got some extra burpees. You’re welcome.

Mosey to the lot near the playground and grab a lifting rock. Take it to the curb.

  • 10 curls
  • Rifle carry to the opposite curb
  • Sit your rock down and Sprint to the starting curb and back
  • 10 Curls
  • Rifle carry back to the start
  • Repeato with 10 Shoulder Presses tenement again with 10 Tricep Extensions

It was here that I decided to rename Fuse Box to reFuse Box. It’s one thing to modify as needed or even Q Jack. You get a name change (unofficial) when you blatantly reFuse to follow instructions.

My first thought was to shame him into compliance but quickly realized he has no shame. Instead I decided we’d run more. I know he enjoys that. For unknown reasons the playground is now entirely fenced off. So instead we headed through the trails in a big loop that lead us right back out to the parking lot we started in. Oh well…

We still need to get to the other side of the playground so we made a big detour around the fences to the road. 5 Merkins at each light pole (4 total poles) until we’re at the basketball goals.

Mosey to the sidewalk for the last round of exercises.

  • 15 American Hammers in cadence
  • 15 LBCs in cadence
  • Suicides to the center line and then the far curb. Sprint!
  • Repeato

Mosey back to COT for a couple Box Cutters and then 30 seconds of Have a Nice Day.

Moleskin:

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member” – Groucho Marx reFuse Box

So reFuse Box knows what he’s doing with his reFusenik behavior. He knows that he can mess with me and I’ll put up with it. What he ALSO knows, and for the life of me I’m not sure why he’d choose MY Q to play this game, is that I have a compromising photo of him…

We Need More Pulling Exercises – Lets Band Together

Discc

Warm Up

Before starting, each PAX grabs a resistance band (thickness doesn’t matter #twssNever).  I notice the number of bands is exactly equal to the number of PAX (obviously I planned this incredibly well).

Mosey half the parking lot stopping in the middle for 15x: SSH, IW, LSS, LSS with band overhead, MC, merkin, can opener stretch

The Thang

Take a few steps to the row of handicap parking spaces in front of the theater, each with a parking sign.  Each PAX attach their band to a pole, half at shoulder height, half at ground level.  Two of the thinner bands are paired up so there are at total of 8 poles with bands.   The routine is a circuit where each PAX pulls on the band while facing either toward the pole, away from the pole, or with the pole to his left or right (rotate 90 degrees each time you change poles).   With the bands placed at high or low positions, and with the different band sizes, we are sure to hit every angle of pulling upward/downward for a complete shoulder workout with a few other muscle groups along the way.

The timer is the 9th man, who runs the half-lap around the parking lot while the 10th man just does burpees until relived by the timer.  When the timer replaces the 10th man, he moves to the first pole and everyone moves to the next pole and moves their body position 90 degrees, except the 8th man who is the new timer.   When the timer reaches half-way, those doing a one arm pulling switch arms (body stays in same position relative to the pole).

We got in two rounds of the circuit + one more lap just for Wingman because I forgot where I started I knew he wanted to push himself with an extra lap (you’re welcome).

Next two quick rounds of B.L.I.M.P.S. (5 burpees, 10 lunges 2-is-1, 15 IW, 20 merkins, 25 plank jacks, 30 squats), and leaving 3 minutes of Mary (flutter, LBC, heals to heaven).

Moleskin

Like Isaac Newton’s 3rd law of motion (every action has an equal and opposite reaction), there must be a corresponding law in fitness (every exercise motion, has an equal and opposite exercise motion).  Ideally when we work one direction we will also work the opposite and develop strength equally in both directions.

While F3 is great in many ways (understatement of the year), with our limited resources (whatever the AO has to offer) too many bootcamp exercises challenge us in one direction (pushing) and do not have equal challenges to work the opposite direction (pulling).  Expensive gyms have complex machines that get at these hard to expose muscle groups.  But in F3, with our $0 cost of membership, we miss some areas and risk developing imbalances.

Consider the merkin and its opposite the row.  How many reps of merkins are in a typical workout versus rows?  Merkins are all but mandatory and come in the dozens.  Rows, if any, are usually with a rock or coupon and nothing close to the weight you move doing merkins.  Overhead presses and pull-ups are another pair of opposing exercises.  I’ve been in many bootcamps pressing rocks or coupons overhead but far less with pull-ups.  Not to mention pull-ups are too heavy for most PAX so we often skip these pulling muscles.  Curls and tricep extensions are the only exercises we regularly perform together, with the same weight and reps, but this is the exception far more than the rule.

Resistance bands are often marketed to help assist with pull-ups (a weak area for the majority of PAX human beings) but they have much more potential.  Bands are insanely versatile in where they can be attached and used.  They are not as cheap as coupons (but what is) but they are affordable ($30 for a set of 4), and they don’t take up much space, weigh almost nothing, last for years and don’t break when dropped.

Across F3 we should add these to our toolbox and make them more common than coupons.  They’ll add variations to our exercises and will help attack our lack of pulling and other exercises that will benefit us all.  I won’t always run a complex circuit as I did in this workout, but I will bring resistance bands and I will challenge the PAX with some exercises I know they we all need.

I challenge all PAX to make the small investment in resistance bands (the cheap ones work as well for me as the high-end) and find some new exercises to share with the PAX the next time you Q.

(And as Midriff pointed out, if we include rocks, we’ll have a rock band workout.)

Would you take out a kid for a Strava segment?

Ahh, the age old question…. what you would do for a segment?

Some have run red lights, cut corners, ridden on a bike or in a car, had someone else wear their watch, even paid off Strava developers (you know who you are)

Today we would find out.

 

When BC asked me 24 hours ago to Q the infamously sweltering Afternoon Delight it was a no brainer….

 

There are two Strava segments at Dogwood Park.  One is only 1/3 of a mile around the lake so I decided to basically build the entire 30 min workout around that segment….

So we started out with a nice mosey along the trail to the lake to warm up, then some warm up stretches, SSH, Imperial Walkers, you know my playbook

After Warmup:

Bear Crawl across the splintery hot wooden bridge in front of kids

Then mosey with stops for Merkins and Big boys until the other bridge.  There was a landscape guy that was getting annoyed at this point because he was trying to blow the path and wanted us to pass but we kept stopping for exercises.

Time for the MAIN event.  We were primed, we were warm, and we were ready to run the segment

Basically it’s a lap around the lake.  Starts with an uphill, then down hill by the dock area where every little kid and their mom hangs out in the path.  Could we dodge the bogies and not flatten any children in the process?

Everyone did great, Easy Button rigged the segment thanks to his developer friends killed the segment and took the crown

A few pax’s times didn’t seem to register correctly

Baio doesn’t have Strava.  When it was brought up:

The rest of the pax being made to run a segment in blazing hot conditions dodging children:

Next we moved on to some rock work with short runs between sets of Curls, Shoulder press, chest press, triceps while Easy Buttons neighbor hung around to watch

Off to the benches for some dips on our way to the stairs

5 burpees at the bottom, run up the hill or stairs, 5 big boys, run to wall for 5 mike tysons, back to top of hill/stairs for 5 big boys.  Rinse and repeat for 3 laps

Finish with a mosey up the path to the shade for some Hammers and H2H the last 2 minutes

Done!

Moleskine:

Great job today everyone

Easy killed the segment

Raven was not far behind even though Strava didn’t pick him up

Cobbler was moving around the lake faster than I’ve seen him move in a while, great job.

Welcome Thanos – Came back to the gloom after a 4 year hiatus and with a last name Marvel was rewarded with… Thanos.  Strong work today

Broken Chainsaw

The warm up:

Mosey to front of church entrance. Return to parking lot.

  • SSH 15x
  • Imperial Walkers 15x
  • Moroccan night club  15x
  • Calf stretch

The Thang:

From COT with coupon move across parking lot.  At each island, lunges, shoulder press or squats.  At end of parking lot another round of shoulder presses.

Next- move to Mt. Chiseled

Shoulder press, weighted squats, chest press.  Run around Mt. Chiseled at each excercise.

Return to COT

Chainsaw took us out

Chainsaw was 6th man and told important story about spending time with family because time doesn’t slow down.

Announcements:

  • Blood drive- need more people to sign up

But Wait, There’s More!

It was a breath through a straw kind of humid morning, but with a 6:02am start time at least we had a little sunrise sky to enjoy as we started off on our mosey.  My daughter turns 14 tomorrow so in honor of her, and hoping she doesn’t turn into a bratty teen soon, we did 14 of everything today.

Our warm up exercises were 14 of each, SSH, Mountain climbers, Goof Balls & Merkins.

We continued our mosey to a nice flat parking lot area and started a bear crawl indian run.  We each got into a parking space and the pax on the end called out an exercise  for the group to do while he bear crawled to the front of the line of pax.  We continued this for 2 rounds.  I think 5 pax called out burpees which generated some good mumble chatter.

Did some more mosey to the front of the middle school and did a round of the Motivator from 8 down to 1, doing SSH, Seal Jacks, No Hand Jacks, and Skier Jacks.

Mosey to back of middle school where we found our first surprise.  Some middle school kid left a white board with some exercises written on it, and darned if he didn’t write 14 next to each one.  So we decided to give them a try.   This was a stacking routine 1st round was 14 step ups, then a lap around the field with 2 burpees halfway.  Round 2 was 14 step ups, 14 derkins, then burpee lap.  Round 3 was 14 step ups, 14 derkins, 14 snow angels, burpee lap.  Round 4 was 14 step ups, 14 derkins, 14 snow angels, 14 smurph jacks, burpee lap.  We did Mary in between each round to let the 6 catch up.

We finished that up, finally, and what did we discover?  There was more!  The bottom of the white board was covered with some paper, and under the paper there were even more exercises written, with 14’s next to them, wow!

14 each American Hammers, dips, Bobby Hurleys, Donkey kicks- we did them all together.

Mosey back towards COT, stopped half way for some Mary, each pax called one out and we did 14 reps, some in cadence some single count.

Mosey to COT with 5 min to go.  I think everyone thought I was getting my phone out of my truck for name-a-rama, but wait, there was more!  I pulled my tractor tire out of the truck bed, much to everyone’s delight!

Each pax took a turn calling out an exercise for the group to do while they flipped the tire 10X.  Most guys called out something kind of easier for this one, no more burpees thankfully.  And that was time.

Death By Man Cold

I’ve been fighting a pretty hard fight this week.  Its known as the Man Cold.  While its symptoms often mimic the common cold, even when our wives get it first, they often multiply in us guys to a level never seen before (at least not in our wives).  It also increases the urge to complain and look for sympathy from your M’s.  Unfortunately for me, and probably many of you, I get no sympathy from the M for the common Man Cold.  Well I found a new symptom yesterday.  I sat down to write the winkie and stared at a blank screen for thirty seconds.  Apparently the Man Cold zaps all creativity from you as well.  I knew what I didn’t want to do – use a coupon.  We have been relegated to non sharing coupons for a year now.  Mash does coupon work daily.   I wanted something different…but what?

I arrived at what I thought was an early time only to find Drive By and Chastain already there (20 minutes before launch).  They both graciously helped me set out the gear and grab some more from the bin.  (No snakes in the bin again so its a win already – but there are tree frogs).  Pax begin filtering in and by habit start unloading their coupons…NOPE, you don’t need them.  The look of confusion shows hard on their faces.

An FNG approaches and asks if we are with F3.  Nope, we are just a bunch of guys that come here in the morning to talk trash about each other.   We get the FNG settled in.  He comes prepared with gloves (good job Bottle Cap).   Turnbuckle arrives on two wheels blaring music….oh but he brings a friend – snowball.  We quickly get snowball gloved up and I announce the DiCCS.  New guy seems half amused and half shell shocked.

 

WARM UP

Circle up for the following:

  • 2o Side Straddle Hops
  • 15 Peter Parkers
  • Calf Stretch
  • 10 Parker Peters
  • Downward Dog
  • 10 Merkins
  • Jimmy Duggans

Drug the warm up out longer than intended, but with the such a short winkie (but hey, its girthy), I felt the need to add a couple inches minutes. (God I love a good wienkie joke/double entendre).

 

THE THANG

Partner up for station work.  There are two exercises per station.  The intent was for one of them to be gear focuses while the other to be a mix of cardio/body weight work.  The stations were:

  • Front & Side Raise with 10 lb dumbells.  LBC’s
  • Lawn Mower Pulls with 35 lb keddle.  Foot release squats
  • Bench Press with 30 lb dumbells.  Merkins
  • Bobby Hurleys using a 20 lb slam ball.  Turkish Get Ups.
  • Overhead Tricep extension with 25 lb dubmell & Bent Over tricep extensions with 10 lb dumbells.   Curb Dips
  • Curls with 27lb bar.  Toe Taps.
  • TIMER: Hair burner with a 35lb plate with a 25lb dumbell on top.  Riffle Carry (Audibled to a Riffle Lunge Walk later).

 

We did three rounds of this with Atomic Merkins in between rounds.

2 minutes left and AC/DC Thunderstruck on the speaker.  Audible.   Recover and circle up to do Thunderstruck workout to the end.  Merkins when you hear Thunder.  Mountain climbers in between.  I believe we got 17 merkins in before time hit, though I still think Chastain was a little early on the time call.

 

MOLESKIN

  • Great job today.  Everyone pushed hard.
  • Chastain and Recalc got to racing on the hair burners.  What an awful thing to race at.
    • Candidly the 25lb dumbell got added to the hairburner to slow Chastain down.  Unfortunately, it didn’t work.  He was still fast.  So fast in fact that I couldn’t let the hair burner/riffle carry continue to be the timer.  So I audibled to make the riffle carry a lunge walk and that seemed to slow things down enough.
  • Snow Ball and Turn Buckle were pushing each other to work harder today.  I love seeing that.
  • Sledge and Ex would have just assumed to have used the plate for a discus throw than a hair burner, but both pushed hard to the end.
  • Ghosted telling pax that I was the first person he met on his first day out and that I called him Steve the entire workout (I thought he told me his name was Steve….it is not…and in an hour long workout he never corrected me).
  • Drive By there for his first Diesel workout.  Looking to lessen the stress on his calves to allow them to heal (I’m not sure that was achieved doing hair burners though).
  • I called out Mayhem and Penalty Box for throwing the slam ball back and forth.  For a guy as old like Mayhem, it looked like a back breaker was about to happen.  (Someone whispers in my ear, Penalty Box is 73).  Oh,  yeah, and for someone as old as penalty box as well.  They didn’t seem to be amused at my suggestion that what they were doing was unsafe.
  • Spitz is looking for help from Walnut Creek pax in getting a video that was posted on their facebook page of an altercation between a member and his son who is a life guard.  That’s the second incident with an F3 pax 2.0 lifeguard there.  What is going on in Walnut Creek???  I blame Hollywood.  As soon as he left it all went down hill (pun intended for Rockwells off the chain workout which launches Wednesday’s from Walnut Creek – free marketing, you’re welcome).
  • Beaver put in some good work on his first day out.  He asked twice if there was running at the workout so the second time I told him not much, we would probably keep it just short of 5 miles today.  Chastain quickly swooped in to tell him about Diesel and Mash.
    • Beaver gets his name after telling us he turns wood on a lathe.   Because he was born, raised, and went to college here in Charlotte, some pax wanted to go Oregon Trail or traveler.  Wood Chuck was also suggested but Beaver was too good to pass up (and way better than Falcon).  Welcome Beaver!
