Bagpipe Burpee Block Bash

Bagpipe Burpee Block Bash

Date: 2024-01-16 AO: bagpipe Q: Palmolive PAX: Spitball, Cooter2, Roulette, Rousey, war_eagle, Pilgrim, picasso FNGs: None COUNT: 8 Coupon delivery 🚚 to Bagpipe hill came early today and dropped some blocks off for unsuspecting PAX. They were also unaware of the plan for 100 burpees, but didn’t complain (:cough: Rousey :cough:) when all was said and done.
Nice job today guys, and I’m honored to get to lead at such a great site with great PAX.
WARMUP: Mosey to Brixham Hill parking lot then 1-10x burpees alternating with 5x 4-count merkins, 5x ISWs, 5x CDDs, 5x LSSs, 5x Peter Parker’s, 5x Frankensteins, 5x Bonnie Blairs, 5x Arods, plank for 60s…that’s a 55 burpee warm-up, the other 45 are 🍰.
THE THANG: Head to Bagpipe hill then pair up and grab a cinder block; partner 1 does 5x blockees then rifle carry the block up the hill, partner 2 runs up the hill then back and switches out with partner 1 until both get to the top. Liked it so much we did it back down the hill. Total blockees = 25. That’s 80 (thanks Pilgrim).
Ditch the blocks and go to the Y for monkey humpers, WW1s, pretzel crunches, and more monkey humpers. Wanted to make sure the people on the tread mills got a good view.
On the way back to launch, stop by the wall at Walnut Grill for 3x rounds of 10x step up/jump ups and 5x burpees.
MARY: At launch, circle of Mary with box cutters, dying cockroaches, flutters, Freddie Mercs, and the last 5x burpees.

Date: 2024-01-15 AO: _sob Q: C3P0 PAX: Franky, Roulette, C3P0 FNGs: None COUNT: 3 @Franky announced the next quarter of voluntold site Qs as “the first trimester” (not sure why it’s a 9 month thing, did I miss a memo?), but I had the honor to be at the top of the list: first trimester, week 1, I guess this is the zygote (leaving aside any pre-zygote activity).
I came in hot to see @Roulette wondering if the Q was going to show today, I did, albeit tardily. @Franky joined us as well for a happy threesome. DISCCs given and of we mosey. WARMUP: one lap around the fountain and triangle-up for 15x SSH, IW, then “old man burpees” (very slow burpee, more of a stretching loosening up going through movements of a burpee), then runner’s stretch, LSS and 20x merkins. We’re ready. THE THANG: mosey my car MARY: ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT:

Slippery Chicken

Date: 2024-01-13 AO: chicken-run Q: tuck PAX: midriff, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), das_boot, Franky, Hippie, jrr_tolkien, Kielbasa, Odd Job, wingman, Kevin FNGs: 1 Kevin COUNT: 11 @HazMat picked a classic. We enjoyed a windy and slippery tour of PCC, Providence Crossing, High Gate and Longview. Longview management sealed up the gap in the fence at the Tom Short bridge, but that didn’t stop us. @turkey_leg took a hard spill on a muddy path in High Gate, but that didn’t stop us. @odd_job’s knee started barking, but that didn’t stop us. Well, it kind of stopped him. For today anyway. Great job by @odd_job, @franky and @hippie who woke up at an absurd time and got in 18-20 miles. Midriff brought an FNG (Kevin) who shall remain nameless until he makes it to a COT. Good times at CFA coffeeteria as always.

Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.

Date: 2024-01-13 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, high_tide, flipper, The Worm, Mountain Momma FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Cold black asphalt. Nasty winds. Cadence-challenged Q. These were the conditions that greeted the pax this morning and, as usual, the pax chose greatness. Week 2 of the Fib spreadsheet provided an arithmetically pleasant backdrop for a ratio-fueled beatdown of double and single bells. Once again, YHC’s hastened pace resulted in a few groans from the pax, but having the architect on hand helped straighten us out in short order. Also, ample counting suggestions ranging from the the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch to the Sesame Street Count von Count helped immensely. Some quick thinking by the Worm and High Tide to build a wind barrier with their cars (maybe? probably?) helped cut down windchill, but overall this was more of a hormesis kind of workout…good for the soul. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x high-pulls (e/s), synovial circles, 5x one-handed swings (e/s) THE THANG: 1) Fib. A – Double clean & press 3x/5x/8x (3 sets) 2) Fib. B – Double front squats & double bent-over row 3x/5x/8x (3 sets) 3) Carries – Waiter (alternate e/s) 20 paces / 30 paces / 50 paces (2 sets) (Note: 20 paces = 1 tree length) – Suitcase (or farmer! Pax choice) 20 paces / 30 paces / 50 paces (2 sets) 4) Fib. C – Thrusters (3x), snatches (5x), heavy swings (8x) (4 sets) 5) EMOM (Got in 3 mins…until The Rock descended upon us) – Minute A: SLDL (6x e/s) – Minute B: Squat swings (10x) MARY: – Just running our mouths in COT ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Next Blood drive is March 8th! COT: – Flipper was volun-told and graciously accepted to take out the joint group as the wind whipped around us

Stonehenge – I’m bringing my luggage with me, and it’s Louis!

Date: 2024-01-13 AO: stonehenge Q: tagalong PAX: teddyf3, lex_luthor, Rousey, shrinkwrap, @brisket FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Introduction: Hey, F3 Warriors! It’s @Tagalong, your fearless Q, spinning the tale of today’s Stonehenge showdown 🌄. In the wise words of Coach Prime, “I brought my own luggage,” and trust me, it was Louis! 💪 My first 2024 beatdown had me channeling my inner Coach Prime Deion Sanders, and boy, did we bring the heat! 🌶️ Alongside the mighty PAX (@brisket, @lex_luthor, @shrinkwrap, @rousey, @teddyf3), we didn’t just face the workout; we laughed in its face! 😂
PAX Shoutouts:
@rousey: Roared into the lot like a racecar driver, sans his usual pants-wetting episode with garbage truck driving trash talkers. 🚗💨
@shrinkwrap: The Big House escapee is back! His survival skills are still as inventive as his complaining skills. 🎈
@brisket: Our comeback champ, showing F3 spirit is like fine wine – gets better with time (and a bit of dusting off). 🍷
@teddyf3: Fashionably late but still caught us! Post-Achilles, he’s half-man, half-amazing. 🕒🚀
@lex_luthor: Our silent beast, crushing every rep like it’s a walk in the park. 🏋️‍♂️🤐
Workout Wipeout: “🥊 Savage Brawl at Brixham Battlegrounds”
Mosey Mayhem: Kicked off with a mosey that had us wondering if it was a warm-up or escape plan. 🏃‍♂️🤔 Triple Nickel: Burpees and jump squats. If pain had a love language, this was it! 💔
Picnic Bench Party: Step-ups, derkins, and incline burpee box jumps. Because who needs a picnic when you can have pain? 🍔➡️🏋️‍♂️
Turf Titan: Sprinting and bear crawls, followed by more sprinting and broad jumps. Legs were screaming for mercy, we gave them more work. 🦵🔥
Lexicon Lunge-a-Thon: Lunges with a side of lexicon exercises, a tribute to our very own @lex_luthor. Because why talk when you can lunge? 🗣️➡️🏋️‍♀️
Conclusion: As we moseyed back, chests heaving and spirits high, we realized something profound – we’re more than just PAX, we’re a band of misfit warriors! 💪🤝 Coach Prime said, “You gotta believe in you when nobody else does,” and today, we believed in ourselves and our luggage of determination. 🧳👀 Stay committed, stay strong, and let’s keep packing our humor in every battle!
“If you look good, you feel good, If you feel good, you play good, If you play good, they pay good.”
@Tagalong – 🎤drop✌️
