    YHC threw out the idea of converging at the late great Batteau in hopes of drawing a few guys on this special day.  Should’ve known the men of F3 would show up in droves.  In celebration of America, YHC thought it would be appropriate to pay tribute to the original Batteau legendary workout.  Hardywood would have been proud.  Welcome to the 4 FNGs, see you again soon.  God Bless America, be safe out there.

    – 30 x Heels to Heaven
    – 40 x Flutter Kicks

    BTTF for some Old Man Stretches. Numbers, names, YHC took us out.

    NMMS: Prayers for Boberry’s sister’s s.o. – got a positive COVID test and hoping for the best. YHC was glad for the company this morning — it’s easier to embrace the suck when you’ve got someone pushing you and supporting you at the same time. And that goes for the hours between 06:16-05:29 as well …. SYITG!

  • Bateau still floats

    Two gathered at Bateau to kick off the week. Here’s how it went:

    Quick warm up jog, 20x SSH, 10x DQ, 10x CP, 20x LBC, 10x HRM, grab coupons and mosey to the park entry for a Dora: 100x alternating block Merkins, 200x jump over block squats, 300x leg lifts over block; timer runs the loop in front of the stone house.

    Mosey with coupon rifle carry / curls carry to the road at the base of the sledding hill. Partner bear crawl block drag from the bottom up to the playground, alternating runner timer to the top. Mosey back down to retrieve the extra coupon & alternate lunge / curl carry back to the playground. Mosey to picnic benches for 30x dips, 20x WWII, 30x dips, 30x step ups, rifle carry back to the flag.

    YHC was super thankful to have Boberry show up as a solo Q would have quickly turned into south side coffee curl repeats! Until next time, GP.

  • LIFO but not SOLO!

    Two Old Men of the Sea posted at Batteau, one on time and YHC shortly thereafter, and here’s how it went. No Q on the sheet and no other PAX in sight, so hot potato called and off we went:

    Warmarama (Goldberg): mosey to top of the stairs for SSH x 20, Arm Circles (small to big) x 10 x reverso, DQ x 10, LBCs x 20

    THANG 1 (Goldberg): grab a Swirly Approved Coupon, PAX1 (timekeeper) runs to lamp post, Bernie Sanders back while PAX2 hefts the stone in prescribed manner AMRAP; flapjack.

    • Round 1 S.A.C. press
    • Round 2 S.A.C. crunch
    • Round 3 S.A.C. squat

    As a PAX, Polar Bear to the end of the wooden fence.

    THANG 2 (Goldberg): mosey to the playground. PAX1: 5 pullups, PAX2: 10 incline merkins; flapjack and repeato for three rounds. Potato tossed.

    THANG 3 (YHC): mosey to pickleball court for Prostitute Four Corners.

    THANG 4 (YHC): pivot to short hill for Jacob’s Ladder:

    • up, burpee x 1, down
    • up, burpee x 2, down, repeato for seven rounds

    Note to self: short hill means shorter hill repeats (pro) but quicker return to burpees (con)

    BTTF for numbers, names, Goldberg took us out.

    NMMS: Both of us were glad not to have to endure a Soleau Batteau. When YHC slept through the 04:45 alarm, fartsacking was a very real possibility – made the right choice instead and got to spend some quality time with Goldberg instead of sleeping in for another hour and drag-assing into the day. Do the right thing and have a great week!!
