2 Early birds got up and got some worms in another edition of Premature Acceleration. Rosie was looking to test our fitness in preparation for Grow Ruck next week. Did a little warm up run, then 2 minutes to complete 40 hand release merkins, then a quick mosey to rest up to do 50 WW2s in 2 minutes. Then the final test before the TWO Bootcamp Beatdowns was to complete 2 miles in 18:30. Glad to see Rosie come out and push us with this fitness test. Both PAX passed just barely, and were the only ones to complete the…

17 dudes chose to start their day at Timberwolf on the greatest day day on the NFL Calendar…DRAFT DAY! With the assistance of my QB Cheat-Sheet-Sleeve, here’s what went down… Warm Up – Moseyed to the far end of the school to warm up and stretch out. Gave the F3 Mission and got into it…SSH, Don Q’s, Cherry Pickers, Arm Circles, LBC’s, Leg Stretches, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife. The THANG – Moseyed over to the football field which was illuminated by my truck. What a gorgeous sight! (For about 2 minutes until the lights cut off). The PAX…
16 HIM turned up at the FORGE for another VQ during this week of firsts. After minimal sleep and concerns about timing, YHC gave the usual welcome and intro regarding sensible modifications where needed etc. After experiencing multiple epic beatdowns over the past two months YHC decided he would pay homage to each in some way. Welcomed Gaston’s FNG. WARMARAMA: Mosey around the top loop of the carpark BTTF. IC reps of forwards and backwards shoulder circles, SSHs, imperial squat walkers, DQs, HRMs Alabama prom dates. COP #1: Start of New Glory 10 burpees at the Flag Mosey to 1st…
2 SOJ insomniacs raised the bar, or rose to the bar for another 5am pull up session. We’re getting stronger and improving form as the Murph quickly approaches. May 25th at Rocknroll. We did some hollow rocks, a pull up pyramid, some EMOM sets as well as some toes to bar. YHC needs to work on the rocking motion for doing toes to bar. Glad to have State Farm come out and push me to get better every week. We decided to postpone our CSAUP for a later date to be named later. Be sure to come out for the…
3 of F3’s Finest came out for a chilly morning to celebrate our brother Florence’s official acceptance into the fraternal order of police. Here’s what they did to celebrate. 10-41 The official 10 code for the start of shift. PAX performed 41 reps of 10 exercises including but not limited to Side Straddle Hops, Merkins, Chair Dips, Folding Suitcases. 9-11 Of course this is the emergency number to dial when in need of Florence to come to your rescue PAX would run 9 laps and perform 11 merkins in between each lap. Cops and Robbers 1 PAX would be the…
Today… I wanted to try something different. Mini station with burpees at some of them, plus for a few carrying a bucket with either sand or gravel(or a sandbag varied in weight) to each one then return. Upon the return there’s a list of 8 different exercises at 100 reps each(choose 1). 13(including 1 FNG) braved what may be one of the rate times that it was quiet. Started with a WARMARAMMA: SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Arm Circles each direction, Cherry Pickers, Merkins and something new I don’t have a name for it I will call it the Alabama…
Early morning… Clouds were still out and the fields getting ready. 6 of us ventured on another adventure thru the trails and woods. A little exploring around, taking the reverse way on a few parts plus venturing on the trails from last time. We stopped back at the flag, almost 3 miles and 50 minutes(I can’t believe I thought I had some time left on my Garmin and no it said no more juice. Time to prep for the main workout….
Boberry, and YHC both had a busy day ahead of us but we decided to make sure we still got 1% better with another version of Premature Acceleration. Great conversation as usual, but there were many different aromas in the air. Some fresh grass (more than one kind) We passed a house party (not THE House Party) that was still getting after it into the early morning hours. As well as what we can assume was some wake and bake driving by on Courthouse. Pollen still has a strong presence. YHC may have released some methane gas into the air,…
That’s right…. The bands came out today. I have been thinking of what I could do with them and the tennis courts were the perfect area to use them today. 13 regulars plus 1 FNG braved the madness that was to come. A little run around the tennis courts, then starting the warm-up: SSHs, Don Quixotes, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats, Merkins, LBCs, and Alabama Prom Dates was just an appetizer. Onto the main part. Partner up, with a band each tennis court (3) together you were going to go to the end, an exercise, then that movement back…
YHC isn’t at his best, but the pack has teamed up to drag him along for the foreseeable future. This week’s MOT is no different. Consensus led to an easy out&back down Coalfield. Everyone got between 4 & 6 miles, then Doozy added another 3 after COT. Another great run in the books. Thanks for the push, gents… it was much needed. Numberama/Namerama with SOT fellas, OC took us out, high-fives and fist-bumps all around
