  • What to do with this wooden guard rail???

    2 of Rock n Roll nations finest big hair band (less hair than in our mind) metal heads made their way out of the Gloom like Paul Stanley through a fog machine and according to the Soho Tribune this is what happened

    Mosey to the BB court for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Russian Soldiers and (SSH burpee combo)

    Mosey to the wooden guard rail

    Start at the second rail from the end 10 incline merkins, run around to opposite side 10 decline merkins, run around to the opposite side. Repeto X3

    Start at the second rail from the end 10 reverse crunches run around to the opposite side 10 step ups (started with 10 per leg and modified to 5 per leg after the first round)

    Mosey to the end for an exercise we will figure out as we go

    Start at the first section along the rail with an incline merkin, go to the next section for an offset merkin to the right, go to the next section for a decline merkin, go to the next section for an offset merkin to the left. Somewhat worked but needs a little more work.

    Mosey to the end of the rail for elevens

    Start with 1 (Helix style) Squat run all the way down the rail to the end for 10 heals to heaven or pole smokers (your choice)

    Rail crawl to the right from one end to the other getting the legs out as far as you can and working the core. On the way back rail crawl to the left adding a merkin at the gaps in the rail

    NMS:

    With so many Mondays just Florence and YHC we are getting to know each other fairly well and some of our conversations are way more detailed than what you might find in a normal AO COT. I love my brother Florence and pray for him and his family daily. We should all strive to know each HIM and their M / 2.0’s to make the bond of the PAX that much greater.

    NMS:

    YHC got a text from Last Call at the wee hours of the morning “not going to make it” so YHC was counting on the possibility of seeing Bullseye or Chaplain this morning. YHC had a great surprise waiting for him in the parking lot with Gumbo already there and Rosie not far behind. YHC really had no plan for the beatdown but knew with these two studs even in recovery mode we could get some things done.

    NMS:

    As YHC is a day late getting this BB out and given his age, most of yesterday he does not recall. YHC and Honeymoon did have a discussion about the presence of Wilson and how we thought he might have gone with the runners. When the runners returned YHC did look for Wilson but he was not with them either. YHC was going to include Wilson in the head count for this BB but didn’t want to mess Big Data up

    NMS:

    It was nice to have Rosie and Gumbo out with us again. Nancy is single handedly carrying the reputation of the New Market crew Oh wait we forgot Rosetta is a New Market guy…. I guess we might have forgot about Rosetta, it must be that little car he drives.

  • If we did rename him, is there a better F3 name than Gumbo?

    13 Strong men made their way through the fog, 1 solo Broga master, 1 former FNG now regular, 1 blast from the past, 1 that took a wrong turn and crossed the river and 9 regulars. According to the older gentleman that walks the perimeter of the park this is what he recalls.

    Numbers / Names and DTH took us out

    NMS:

    It was good to see Gumbo back out in the Gloom but after being gone for so long some of the PAX was thinking he might need a new name. Much thought was given but really Gumbo is the best name the PAX could think of so no change was made. Handshake made his way south of the river and it was good to see him too. Unfortunately, YHC was not willing to get out of the fartsack early this morning and Last Call had to do Broga all by himself which might have freaked the dog walkers out just a bit. T-Claps for Loogie making his second F3 appearance, keep posting brother it might get easier one day.

  • DC 2021 – 20 year 9/11 tour

    170 F3 and FIA PAX gathered for one of the coolest experiences YHC has ever had with F3. Not just because it was the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks but because it was about 160 men +/- and 10 +/- women that got together to push their bodies as far and hard as they could.

    The workout had fairly simple instructions. Start at the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial and run to the top and back, do an exercise for the 6 and repeat

    The catch was you did the stair climb 26 times (wow) YHC’s legs where burning

    Each time before we ran up and down, one of the PAX would read a fact from what happened that day 20 years ago in a timeline of how it happened

    YHC was picked to Q one of the exercises at the bottom while waiting on the 6. YHC thought about Man Killers but went with Knee Slides which the PAX of 170 did not know existed and found out what a ab burner they are when you do 30 (4 count). We had also done an ab burner the round before with an exercise YHC will interduce RVA to next week.

    NMS:

    In total transparency YHC sat in his car arguing with the little voice in his head that said “just head home nobody will care” until finally YHC just shut it down and got out of the car. Luckily Bulls eye came driving up when he did and YHC had someone to help keep him company.
