Tag: Mammoth Balls

The same 2 Herculean Iron Haulin’ Brutes arrived on horseback this gloom to keep the torch burning with some sandbags and metal music! We kicked this gloom off with some Warmarama and great conversation about last nights Men’s Group.

Countdowns – Start with a 10 Rep exercise called by either PAX – run a lap around the pavilions and meet up for a set of 9 reps and continue that pattern until finishing at 1 Rep. included: Ball Dippers, Pistol Squats, Weighted Step Ups, Wojo Squats, Sandbag Squats, Burpees…

3 Sets – 30 sec Wall Sit / 10 Donkey Kicks / 10 Hoe Downs – run a lap around the snack shack after every round.

3 sets – 10 sandbag Squat Thrusters – run the snack shack between every set.

3 Sets – Core Stuff! P1 Freddie’s until P2 completes 12 sandbag WWIIs. Run a lap and switch P1 with P2, run a lap (that’s 1 set)

3 Sets – Bench Raises – Pit a sandbag on the edge of the picnic bench and perform 20 calf raises per set, run a lap after each set.

CoT

Moleskin: every man hits that fork in the road of life, to go down a path of his own or God’s, the path of his own is unchanging and ends in the way of nothing but a sad clown. Then there’s the other path of having faith and following the plan that God has set out for you, into the unknown and the wild, but that same faith will get you through anything and that is ultimately the life of adventure and legacy we want to leave behind.

3 strapping young lads and an FNG emerged into Mammoth Mountain for a frosty one that included sandbags and kettlebells.

Oh look a sheriff! 10 Burpees!

Wonka’s brother in law joined us for Mammoth this morning, Harrison (31) from upstate NY? Or more like all over the country, told us of his story of he and his wife quitting their jobs and traveling all over the countryside, Thus, he was to be named Teton after the Grand Teton mountains. Thanks for coming out Teton! We hope you continue to make some F3 visits.

3 Mammoth Men emergered from another frosty gloom(YHC is ready for shorts weather again).

3 Cheery Ol’ Chaps emerged from the gloom for a delightful game of Mammoth Bawls! YHC emerged moments after the buzzer sounded as Tuesdays always seem to be the hardest days to rise from the ol’ fartsack. It was rather chilly out so this Q ball had the chaps follow along with a not so warmup(still chilly) with a mosey down the parking alley, side strut beyond the dog park, across the wee bridge and back to our rather cold bawls for some SSH’s, Michael Phelps, DQ’s and leg stretches.

3 Iron Pax Challenge Champions were released into the super moon gloom to reclaim their kettlebell AO! After 5 weeks of IPC, kettlebells fell to the wayside, justifying our AO swap by moving kettlebells to Tuesday(best thing since sliced bread!). It was a bit of a Q Potato as Choo Choo, Commando, and YHC ironed out the wrinkles as we went.

Warmarama – some stretching on the asphalt.

YHC rolled into the Mammoth/IronHaul parking lot to see what might be on the menu for this gloom. We’ve been discussing swapping the 2 AO’s to allow Monday to be a recovery day and doing KB’s on Tuesdays. Anyway! It was a solo party for this lonely Beaver so YHC opted for the Iron Haul run and logged some miles all over PFP while ensuring I did not encounter any copperheads!

Three of the finest gathered on this beautiful Monday morning. We gave the kettlebells and sandbags a break since YHC is still feeling the IronPAX and the weekend’s convergence. The YHC was trying to remember whose slogan went “Get on up and get on down to…” so if you know, chime in. Anyway here’s how it went down…

Warmarama

• All the wives and moms
• Arm circles
• Flutters
• Helicopters
• Copperhead squats
• A few jumps here and there

Thang

COP 1 I stole this from Hutton but I forgot what he called it.

• We set up in the middle of the parking lot with four corners, each marked by a workout (20 reps). You run to a corner, knock out the 20 reps, then return to the middle for 2 burpees. Head to the next corner do the exercise, come back for 2 more burpees, and continue until all four corners were hit. We completed two full rounds of this circuit.
  
• Lt Dans
• Merkins
• WW2
• Squats

COP2

Sprint to the first light pole then Mario jump to the next. Continue back and forth pole to pole until reaching the front of the park. Once there mosey back to the starting point.
