Date: 2024-04-08 AO: firestarter Q: Rousey PAX: Watergate, Point Break, wildturkey, das_boot, Franky, Tanyatine, Taco_Stand FNGs: None COUNT: 8 7 Savages line up.
The Pax eyes said everything to me.
They said. “WE ARE PREPARED TO DIE”
It got me so pumped and excited that I couldn’t wait to get started!
Nothing gets me going that a Strong Veteran Group ready to get after it!
WARMUP:
Run Hard to the Bank:
Leave everyone behind.
SSH (While we wait) Butt kickers (While we wait)
Circle up: Hill Billy W Squat Windmill Potato pickers Toe touches w Merkin MTN climbers Pigeon pose Worlds Greatest Stretch
Explosive Merkins :
Ran all the way to the nail salon. 5 cones (10 yards apart) – Explosive Merkins. 5 sets . 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. The final 25 was grueling. Everyone stayed strong and pushed hard beyond their limit . :muscle:
Sand Bag Run:
Partnered up. Qty: 6 , Sand Bag 55-60 pound sand bags. . Everyone had a Sand bag partner . wildturkey later disclosed that he and Point Break ran the entire workout without a partner to switch sand bags for a breather. That’s Savage! Sand baggers ran up the hill , switched partners midday after doing 20 Sand bag Squats. Another 20 Sand bag squats at the top of the hill. Everyone looked destroyed.
Back to the Nail salon . Steps up with Sand bags .
Hand picked Big Rocks. (I got there early just to pick out 8 big rocks for lifting and lined them up as a courtesy) Partner runs with Sand bag around island while the other person does Curls, Presses and tricep extensions. Lung walk to the next Cone. 2 times . Runner serves as the timer .
This is what you missed : Unfortunately we Ran out of time :sob:.
Beat crawl pushing rock with right / left hand . Then do wall sits with sand bag on your lap while you hold Rock in front of you at full extension for 3 min!
Quitters must do Sand bag burpees as a penalty.
Everyone pushed hard and were stronger today for it. Great to see vintage Taco_Stand out there and getting it done . I think das_boot was hoping for a Black Diamond work out . It’s coming Das boot and I know you will be attending. :wink:.
kirby took us out . Everytime he speaks it makes me feel warm inside .

When is the next KB workout? Whenever the pax swing into town!

Date: 2024-04-06 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: The Worm, voodoo, ickey_shuffle, mighty_mite FNGs: None COUNT: 5 This morning, five pax took to the world-renowned pavement of Olympus , ‘F3’s most exciting workout experience™’. Armed with a skinny weinke, uninspired playlist, and an onslaught of bad jokes, we trudged through an hour of pain, punctuated by 30 mins of monotonous swings. Luckily, the pax dug deep to bring some levity by passing the proverbial mic each minute of the aforementioned EMOM. In honor of our impromptu Def Comedy Jam, YHC hereby presents the following awards: – Lifesaver Award – goes to The Worm for sage advice on how grammar can prevent catastrophe – Pescatore Award – goes to Voodoo for best fish-themed joke, which also involves an accent – Humanitarian Award – goes to YHC for insightful tips on how to find our visually-impaired brothers in provocative locations – Ironman Award – goes to Might Mite for a long-ranging joke covering parrots, cigars, and bricks that somehow lasted the better part of 4 EMOM cycles – Sack Lunch Award – goes to Ickey Shuffle for carrying the joke-telling duties like said award with an impressive array of quips and wisecracks All in all, a solid pump made tolerable by good mumblechatter and great pax. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x hi-pulls (e/s), synovial circles, 5x one-handed swings (e/s) THE THANG: 1) Da Presses (5 sets) – Single presses (3x/2x/1x descending ladder, alternating e/s) 2) Da Swings (30 min EMOM) – 1-handed swings (10x) 3) Da Carries (4 sets) – Farmer’s carries w/ heavy bells (90 sec) MARY: The gents of The Rock descended upon us leading to a choose-your-own-adventure Mary sesh with options of what appeared to be core-focused exercises and then a more painful route filled with weight-assisted lunges that Voodoo cooked up. Minimal time for either, but good odds that we see the lunges make an appearance at a nearby workout soon ANNOUNCEMENTS: – We’ve got the WTF on 4/20 – We’ve got Brew Ruck on 5/25 – We’ve got a Savage Race in June – We’ve got a blood drive…possibly soon? COT: Went out as per custom with the men of the Rock. Ductwork led us in a prayer for requests both said and unsaid.

Rousey was in typical rousey form. He almost took Frasier as he was coming back from the prerun. Hippie, Frasier and midriff killed the runs. Rousey had the best sprint out there and gave Frasier some running tips along the way. Oddjob is working through his knee pain and gave it 100% today.

The real power couple

Date: 2024-04-05 AO: centurion Q: Cheese Curd , Starch PAX: Mr. Magoo, Pilgrim, Snuka, Benny, snowflake, Rawhide, Project Z FNGs: None COUNT: 9 Filling in for a vacationing WT, I asked Starch if he would like to VQ or Co Q and he was all in. Was it the opportunity to demonstrate that he has been practicing cadence count in his sleep or working on the best disclaimer speech. Either way he was ready to kick off the first 22 mins (on the button).
WARMUP: Starch lead us to the original parking lot for warmups SSH, IW, runner stretch, potato picker and same merkins – all in perfect cadence
Head over to the deck
THE THANG: Partner up: Partner 1 and 2 go in different directions, go up the stair ls to level 2, meet in the middle for 10 merkins, 10 flutters and 10 lunges (each leg). Run back down and 5 burpees repeat on level 3 and 4
Move onto the ramps: sprint the up, jog out the flat then 3 exercises, American hammers, squats and merkins (?) Complete the Circut all the way to the top
At the top, turn over the perfectly executed first half to his co Q
Cheese Curd lead the following Head down the stair and follow Snow Flack to the “other” rock pile….not so much a rock pile, so we headed back to the original plan.
Stop for some marry and eventually ended up at the rock pile and grab a lifting rock
Deconstruct the thruster 25 of each -squats -curls -press Put them all together for 20 thrusters
25 of each -sit up press -Russian twist -flutter press
Take a small break by placing the rock overhead an going into the bank parking lot, switching to farmer carry (fail) and then back to overhead
25 of each -up right row -shack the baby (front press) -triceps
20 of each Russian twists Flutter press Big boy sit up
Head home
MARY: yep, your welcome for them washboard abs
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF, GoRuck Light, Savage race
COT: Starch took us out -well done Starch on a flawless first half. Disclaimer, cadence count and execution to the min was perfection. He even started on time -even though he was my CoQ, I still gave him a hard time. Not only was he not shaken, he threw some shade on my disclaimers (non existent). Damn kids, don’t respect their elders -YHC on the was a hot mess. I doubted my plan and opted for a different rock pile, causing for a longer then planned run. We got back late and I probably screwed up something else along the way -were we the strongest power couple or the greatest tag team…the future is truely unknown, but everyone got 46 mins of work and stronger for it.
