    Moleskin:

    It was a pleasant morning as the weather goes. No Toll turf continues to be soupy and to be repectful of the AO we stayed off the bulk of the field today. Plus YHC did not wat to smell like we did last week with J-Ville! There was some chatter during COT on the start time. Bleeder corrected TYA and the chatter stopped. Bleeder was sporting the kakhi shorts today and Oyster seemed upset as he did not get the memo! Have a great day!

    If you do not have the F3 App, get it! It is available for Apple or Android.

    The MOLESKIN

    Pretty nice morning at #SOT. Glad to see some faces when I rolled up. Yes, I am afraid of the dark and still have some reservations running from the house. Wilson’s Wife offered to run me up there. I thanked her and walked away with my head down. 🙁 Oyster pointed out the obvious this morning stating when we started by saying “um, it’s not dark out”, YHC tried to run faster, but hes quick!

    YHC went into the AO thinking THIS IS THE DAY a FULL burpee Beast. If you read above, well I got smoked after the first round! TYA & Oyster chatted most of the beast.

    At the end TYA was sharing that he woke up in a bad mood and he was happy now that he came across the river to the land of happiness.

    The video is just because it should make you laugh and brighten your day. If you not a “hate” you might just remember when the video came out on MTV (for the young guys – the channel used to play videos before reality TV – Downtown Julie Brown was my fav VJ! – Said it earlier, issues)

    Fun workout gents. Thankd for showing up!

    Got a clear lesson on where the straight part of the track begins. Also the full track is 400 m.

    Great job today gents. I’ll be sure to let you know when I schedule the full beast of burpees! Enjoy the video. We all have our role!

  • Where’s Wilson????

    Six brave men started the mosey on a BEAUTIFUL morning, then Wilson came rolling in as if he were auditioning to drive for Bleeders race team. Then it became 7!

    The Thang:

    • Once Wilson got caught up to the PAX he reversed directions…….yes with Weinkie in hand.
    • Mosey to rear of school for COP. At this point YHC was tying his shoes and did not realize we had TWO FNG’s. Wedding SInger GLADLY pointed this out and started the disclaimer. Once YHC got his bearings straight, it was all about getting started!

      • Mosey back to flag

    The Moleskin:

    Here is how it went down today.

    • Wilson was late (about 5 seconds – seems to be a recurring theme), but got caught up and regained the Q from Wedding Singer who assumed the charge.Goose, Lug Nut & Singer were more than happy to start busting YHC’s balls out of the gate. 🙁
    • YHC had intended to bring the serious pain and attempt a full beast of ALL burpees, but decided that the COT was an important time to warm up so no injuries happened. Ok, it was really because I was late.
    • Once the COT was done, the Weinkie went away! Who can;t remember burpees! At one point I heard Wedding Singer cry out for someone to deliver me a Weinkie. Mumble chatter was heard during the Burpee fest from Singer & Lug Nut, but Singer quickly got called out on his form  by YHC!
    • Can’t remember for what reason, but Goose was providing YHC grief (very uncharacteristic – NOT) so, instead of going easy and doing another exercise for the 3rd round we did BURPEES!
    • YHC contiues to try to pack too much into a workout, but will get the hang of it soon…………….
    • Great to see TWO FNG’s today! Welcome Kozar & Clooey & great job by all!
    • TClaps to RIcky Bobby today for pushing the limit! During one of the Burpee sessions, he was quickly approaching Goose to try to claim 1st place.#RESPECT Maybe next burpee session. I hear Ricky Bobby likes to be hard on his equipment and push it hard!
    • See you boys in the gloom!
  • You get a FREE t-shirt…………..for how much?

    Eight courageous men entered the SOT on a drizzly morning. Spring break provided a nice hiatus from the smell of Diesel!

    COT

    Moleskin:

    A slight drizzle stayed with us for the 45 minutes at SOT. While wet, it was enjoyable not being in 32 degree weather!

    The weinke continues to rule YHC. I cannot perform a Q without it, however I know the flow is soooo much better without. I’ll break my dependence of the weinke soon. No need for an intervention. Next Q will be easier to remember….The BEAST is coming!

    Thanks to DK for going immediately into plank as the weinke controlled me.

    The PAX gave maximum effort today. Thanks.

    Singer continues to be in FULL promotion for the Earth Day 5k run. Even wearing the free t-shirt. It’s ONLY $30!? Enjoy the video. I watched 5 of them and laughed out loud at all 5. Prob not good at work!

    I believe tonight is the happy hour in the Willow Lawn area. Not sure of the exact location.

    Fudd has to morrow and TYA has something exciting in store for the Friday run.

     

  • Q sent to detention!

    Five men decided to exit the fart sack and venture to SOT! Amazingly as soon as we arrived the temperature rose to 70!

    15 Burpees – YES burpees in the warm up!

    20 Merkans

    Mosey back to field

    Partner up……………DAMN odd numbers!

    Attempted Fireman’s carry – YHC will note he tried to be “sensitive” and let one person “opt out” as there were 5 PAX. Let me note at least two PAX immediately opted out. We did not do Fireman’s carry. **Note YHC will NOT make that mistake again**

    Wheelbarrow 50 yards – switch then sprint back – Bleeder “sprinted” during the exercise……..again damn odd numbers!

    15 back to back squats – YHC decided to “opt out” and paired the pax. Singer/Rest Stop executed well. Bleeder/Lug Nut need to work on timing/form. We will do more of those! 🙂

    Move to paved area by field

    Regular suicides with 5 Merkans at each stop

    Mosey back to flag…………or so they thought

    Stop for 10 burpees

    Now mosey back to the flag

    Mole Skin:

    Ok, so YHC was WAY behind yesterday and had no time to prepare so I pulled an old weinke out to use. No good! Not a good flow early in the workout. YHC needs to realize weinkies are no good. The second half of the workout was off the cuff and that’s when the chatter stopped. Pretty quiet morning except for Bleeder & Lugnut chatting frequently during the 1st half. YHC will NOT be working off a weinke next Q and will bring the pain. I am placing myself in detention until I redeem myself.

    Decent workout today gents.

    YHC got called up late the night before. I had NO plan! We survived. Might just be my new operating plan! Started with 5 and Fudd & Chum showed up late.

    Overall a great workout. Later in the afternoon YHC ended up at #dogpile with Wilson’s WIfe & youngest daughter. I proudly walked & ran her through the workout this morning. She approved and said we could do a lot out here. We agreed (hell froze over – that NEVER happens)

    Wedding, Chum & Wilson headed over to pouncy for more beatdown!

    MOLE SKIN:

    Since #SOT is still a fairly new AO, YHC decided to go for a run the night before and check it out. Be prepared fellas…………NO dry spots here! Fun in the MUD! @Johnsonville – heal fast. You’ll love it!

    YHC introduced ANOTHER new F3 exercise (Yes it was Wilson Wife Approved). The #PeterGabriel. #TCLAPS to @Bleeder & @TYA for helping supply the sledge hammers. I did learn today that sledgehammers come in different weights (who knew?)……….sorry boys, but a few of you got the heavy one! As YHC Q’s more I MUST learn from previous mistakes! DO NOT allow the PAX to decide the exercise. Triple check was supposed to have a sprint to the 50 yard line, but it was really muddy (did not want to damage the field….really). Then @Bleeder says “full lap”. Yup, sure that sounds good! UGGG! I felt like that awkward kid in highschool again running around that damn track……….sorry. I’ll save that for therapy!

    Minutes of Mary got some groaning as there were NO breaks! Nice job fellas!

    Wilson’s wife needed an update on her approved exercise. I let her know it went great and thanked her for her wisdom! I informed her a few of the PAX seem curious if your going to Q one morning. She said………..”HMMM, maybe.” YOU asked for it. May god help us all! I’ll stay in fatsack that morning!

    Big week – #100 tomorrow @ #Mary! Thanks to the brave fellas who brought F3 into our lives! See you in the gloom!

    Ran the stairs to finish workout!

    COT

    Moleskin:

    The one time YHC thought it was safe to start 30 seconds early…………………….the FNG had to catch up! Lesson learned.

    Solid performance by the PAX. A little winded after the stairs! 6 minutes of Mary was tough and heard a lot of groaning (Q got smoked)! No breaks between exercises!

    Box jumps were new and exciting.  A lot of possibilities there! Funny that as we were doing these the 6 minutes of Mary seemed easy! Who thought an incline Mercan could be so damn difficult!

    The end is where it got awkward………………….Brain Tumors fault. He EH’d FNG – Huggie!

    Everyone got hugs…………..YUP you read that right! BRO HUGS!

    All kidding aside Huggie is in mad good shape and will like push all of us to move a bit quicker!

    After a solid finish Oyster & Wilson took the Loose Goose challenge and decided to see what he was bringing.

    Yeah…………..we got smoked right at the end!

  • Q had a vision…………..

    QIC: Wilson

    The PAX: Johnsonville, Conspiracy, Doner Kebab, Trophy (FNG), Iron (FNG), Lugnut, Chum Bucket, Earthworm, Loose Goose, Wilson.

    Ten made an appearance at the #Gridiron workout! With two in BEAST mode! Well done by Conspiracy & Chum for making it to TWO workouts! TWO FNG’s braved the relatively early/chilly morning for their first work out. Welcome Trophy & Iron!

    The Thang:

    Normal greeting and anticipation around the flag.

    Mosey to track. Q wanted two laps, but PAX was lagging! Only ¾ lap! The first diversion from the Wenkie!

    Circle Up – Disclaimer – Cause we had TWO FNG’s.

    30 Goofballs – NEW to the PAX. Look it up on F3. We looked silly!

    30 Mountain Climbers

    30 SSH

    30 Deep Squats

    20 Mekans

    Mosey to Pull Up Bars & partner up

    Overhand Pull-ups (assisted) – As many as you can

    Wilson’s Wife – As many as you can

    Underhand Pull-ups (assisted) – as many as you can

    Mosey to the wall.

    Triple Play – Started w/odd number of PAX – So Q got all confused, Goose strained him out!

    Peoples chair w/arms up

    Merkin

    Run to cones – Lugnut & Iron appear to be competitive………maybe!

    Plank – Southern Gentleman & Yankee Aggressor

    Mosey back to field

    20 LBC’s

    30 Flutter Kicks

    15 Leg Raises w/ partner – add some resistance

    20 Rosalita’s

    Fireman’s Carry 50 yards

    Wheel Barrow 50 yards – This is where it ALL fell apart – read below!

    Burpee’s sets of 10 – goal line, 50 & goal line.

    Sprint back

    Mosey to bleachers

    Cibatta – Dips (Many thanks to Johnsonville for receiving delegation and being time keeper – even tho we would still be there if not for goose! Wilson really needs a watch!

    Moleskin

    The Q woke up with a very specific laid out plan! (very reliant on the weinke) Started that way and as Earthworm stated later he had the Q energy. Extra spring in the step! Started with something fun and started to warm up!

    PAX did AWESOME during Pull Ups & Shoulder Press (Wilson’s Wife) – gonna be summer before we know it. Gotta work the summer muscles!

    Triple Play is when Q started to break down…..damn odd number of PAX! So instead of three of each three exercise in groups of 3, it was groups of 4. NO LONGER triple play. Then add Chum & Conspiracy and BOOM, Q just about lost it!

    After the ab section of Q’s perfectly thought out workout, Fireman’s carry was up. Yeah, apparently piggy back ride is NOT a Fireman’s Carry according to Chum. I will defer to how it was rolled out to me! Could be as big as “what is a REAL burpee! Never know! The second half of the 100 yards was the wheelbarrow! Simple, right? EVERYONE knows the wheelbarrow! NOT! Conspiracy and Q finish ready to sprint back and what do we see……bear crawl, piggy back rides, walking, running.

    Has the world just ended? Q was frustrated…………..and SMOKED. So we did it again………….SAME thing. Oh well…..I had Conspiracy next to me. He would buy into my punishment right? You bet! BURPEES and SPRINTING! Thanks to GOOSE for keeping Wilson in check and calling out my sprint was really NOT a sprint!

    Q had discussion with FNG Trophy after about all the chatter during the end of the workout and he said “not me!”

    Looks like Wilson’s next Q will be a cardio beat down! Back to the drawing board! Are Countdowns a thing of the past………..no rest!

    Great job by the ENTIRE PAX and looking forward to Tuesday at #notoll! And again, welcome Iron & Trophy. Look forward to seeing you both!
