Tag: The Creek

A Pax of 14 showed up for Guppies virgin Q at The Creek.  At first, Guppy and Abacus were anxious that no one would show as there was only one car in the parking lot at 6:25.  But we start at 6:30 and not at 6:25. This is what transpired:

Mosey to the side parking lot

COP

• X27 SSHs
• X54 LBCs
• X27 Imperial Walkers
• X54 LBCs
• X10 / 5 / 10 / 5 Arm Circles

THANG

Guppy, being a runner, put together a Q that mixed some of his favorite exercises with some running. The run took us through Forest Lake on a 1.7 mile jaunt.  We cut through the pavilion and ran down Wyndale, took a left at Linderwood, followed that all around the lake and to the stop sign.  Took a left at Wynchwood and went back to the start of the run at Wyndale and the pavilion.  But oh! What about some favorites?  Don’t be disappointed, fun was had at each cone that was laid out on the course.  11 cones to be exact.  As the pax arrived at each cone they began that cone’s exercise.  Once the last runner arrived, the pax did 10 of the said exercise together.  Here are the 11 exercises:

• Burpees
• WW II Sit-ups
• Squats
• Crab Cakes (in cadence)
• 6 inch holds (30 seconds)
• Merkins
• Freddie Mercuries (in cadence)
• Kerioke (across the street)
• 5 count Leg Crosses
• Werkins
• Jump Squats

Guppy was excited as a 4 year old before Christmas Morning for his first Q.  Planning was done to ensure a good solid beat down.  Warning was sent of FB to ensure the pax brought their running shoes.  Giving all who are connected on the social media addict house a clue of the 2 miles of running ahead of them.  Abacus laid out all the cones prior to waking up Guppy and picking up LP.  Feeling the coldness of the morning, an audible was called on Abacus’ attire.

Pulling in at 6:25 nervousness pulled on Guppy, for only Spit was there for his beat down from a 13 year old.  The flag was planted and the cars rolled in.  Mostly cars for 2 or more, bringing the Pax to 13.  Wild Thing joined us a few minutes late as he got caught in an especially intoxicating aroma in the fart sack. COP was a lesson in chewing bubble gum and patting your stomach at the same time.  Cadence, that is consistent, is tough.  Support was lent, as that is what we do in life.  We help support and ensure success of each member of the pax.  Given today is the 27th of January, Guppy had COP exercises consist of – – – 27s…  Mercy was asked for by the Pax, but the YHC laughed an eerie evil laugh and continued his punishment and counting.  However, mistakes were made and the pax missed out on 2 sets of exercises in COP.

Next the pax learned the plans of the YHC.  It was explained that the Pax would run to a cone do an exercise till the whole Pax arrived and then do 10 of said exercise together.  Then they would run to the next cone, repeat and enjoy ten more times…  Mumble chatter was high amongst the youngest of the Pax as they controlled the fate and suffering of the whole Pax.  YHC at the first cone also let the Pax know they will be responsible of clean up – – picking up and bringing each cone with them.

There was some outsiders that were confused and concerned as they saw 14 men doing all sorts of perplexing exercises.  Pace of one outsider, coming upon the pax in the middle of doing Crab Cakes, was definitely faster.

23 fighters arrived on the scene to be inaugurated into a beat down that was well worth the alarm clock and pain. The shovel flag was planted, fist bumps were exchanged, side bumps were given and this is how it went down…

Mosey around the church building to get the blood flowing. The PAX circled up to get inaugurated and we launched into the morning’s work.

There is only one January 20th, 2017 and today is inauguration day. This day called for some perspiration from the PAX – some “inauguration perspiration.”

As is always the case, The Creek’s parking lot was buzzing by 5:20 am. Some of the PAX have bought into the intense side bumps that greet guys as they roll out of their cars. Nobody got hurt today but we can’t promise that in the future…

23 guys ranging from age 8 to age 60 launched out into the workout with reckless abandon. The YHC wanted to find a new warmup location since we have been settling into the same location. We blazed a trail through the normal spots and circled the church building.

We circled up and the stragglers make there way to team. YHC shared how it was inauguration day – OUR inauguration day. He said, “Repeat after me using your F3 name… I, <insert name here>, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the F3 PAX and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the right to receive a F3 BEAT DOWN!” He followed up with, “you have been inaugurated. Now it is time for your first 100 days. 100 days of PAIN!”

The PAX got right to work with YHC’s favorite discipline of the 100 SSHs. The Creek and Daville are growing in strength with this fun-filled adventure of SSHs. Emoji kept trying to throw everyone off by yelling out numbers that were way ahead of the pace (e.g. yelling 39 when we were at 9 or 99 when we were at 49). This has become an Emoji special. The rest of the workout included exercises of 100 or sets that added up to 100.

YHC demo’d a broad jump burpee and Abacus seemed to be impressed with the broad jump. Abacus is not easily impressed. Chow-DAH chimed in and said that it must be the year of the FROG in the Chinese calendar. (Note: YHC is 51% Chinese. He is technically 1/3 Chinese according to his middle school friends in Jersey because he was good in math, horrible in ping pong and never took karate – that description probably wouldn’t fly in our culture today but it is still true).

The transition from the parking lot to the field always messes everyone up because it is pitch dark. The change from the bright parking lot lights to nothing causes an unpredictable vertigo-like response that can mess with the senses. That provides a perfect opportunity to trick the body even more! The PAX ran through the field in the dark and YHC witnessed numerous near collisions. Beautiful.

The PAX rolled back toward the parking lot and YHC had a slower ending in mind before Abacus or someone who sounded like Abacus said something like, “Really? Already? That’s it…” That prompted YHC to run back another set of the parking lot exercise with the crab crawl. It was quite a scene to see 23 men take off across the parking lot like a bunch of scared crabs in a Maryland crab hunt (whatever that means).

The final set of 100 SSHs was not greeted with enthusiasm. YHC was wondering if this would break the crew but everyone pushed hard to the end.

The old adage, “The workouts do not get easier BUT you will get stronger” undergirded today’s fun fest at The Creek.

A final highlight came when we brought it in. We huddled up and stood there awkwardly for 10 seconds. Everyone looked up and YHC said, “Look around. Look at us. We are crazy enough to do this and we are better for it. This is a gift. Now, go and find at least one other man who needs to get out of the fart sack and have his sad clown syndrome killed at the root!” Psycho took us out with a bold prayer and we all launched into our day.

It is an honor to have lead this crew of fighters this morning. We all are facing life’s challenges. The good news is that we do not have to face them ALONE. We have God’s help if we look to Him and we have one another for support, encouragement and accountability. Let’s keep it rolling!

YHC is another year older (and maybe wiser) this past Wednesday and he could think of a better way to celebrate than to Q at the Creek.

The PAX was strong today setting once again a new record of 25 at the The Creek. (Thanks to all PAX Members that did some EHing last night).

Things got started with an extra long COP. YHC turned 32 this past Wednesday and his 2.0 will be 1 on Saturday. With the LBC Challenge in full switch, it was necessary to get in as much as possible. The PAX  reluctantly agreed! To really work that core today, YHC ask that during two of the 5 minutes of LBC’s that the PAX alternate touching knees.

During the “You only get better with age” Emoji was see leaving the PAX for the wood. A lot of speculation on what really happen there. Only emoji would truly know.  Also between exercises the PAX would plank while waiting for the rest of the back. Abacus yelled out “we should be during LBC’s”. Your wish is YHC’s command!! A lot of groans were heard after that.

Welcome to Putt-Putt and Thumper. Glad you could join us today and hope to see you back each week.

Welcome also back to a few PAX members that seems to be hibernating during the colder morning. (Ratio, Suitcase, Grabber, Spare, Psycho, and I-Beam). YHC hold the rest was good and glad you came back to the PAX!!

SPIT ON THAT!!

15 of F3 RVA regulars ventured into the cold expecting to possibly see some snow and instead found the Flipper Chiropractic tire at The Creek.  This is what we accomplished:

Circle up around tire and perform 100 LBCs IC.

Tire Carry – Two PAX carry tire across parking lot, switch arms and carry tire back.  Rest of PAX run across parking lot perform called exercise and return back to starting point to perfomr same exercise.  Repeato until all PAX have carried tire.  Exercises performed included LBCs, merkins, Squats, something else.

25 LBCs IC

Tire Flip – 2 PAX begin flipping tire around the church.  Rest of PAX completes 4 corners.  LBCs, Merkins, WWII situps, Jump Squats.  Repeato until tire has been flipped all the way around the church building.

50 LBCs IC

Suicides – Regular suicide across parking lot and Burpee Suicides across parking lot.

4 minutes of LBCs – OYO four minutes of LBCs AMRAP.

COT, Numberama, Namearama, YHC took us out with a prayer.

Earlier this week at WDOG, Flipper decided it was a smart business decision to sponsor the tire.  Additionally, YHC was named the marketing director for Holland Chiropractic Practice.  Not wanting to disappoint my new employer, YHC began the marketing campaign by showing up to The Creek with the tire.  Mission accomplished.  YHC thinks Flipper will definitely being seeing some new patients in his office in the very near future.  Another goal YHC had for this morning’s beatdown was to ensure the PAX got their daily fill of LBCs.  Mission accomplished again.  850+/- Total.  The entire PAX crushed it this morning.  Thanks for allowing me to lead.

THE THANG

Mosey over to the field for the next segment called Meet in the Middle — for F3 purposes, we shall call it MIM. 🙂

I created this section because I love partner exercises and I love the Diamond Rio song of the same name.

Everyone partnered up and headed to opposite ends of the field and proceeded to do the following

1. Billy Idol Lunges (complete with fist pump) till partners met up in the middle, Booyah Merkins, then run back to your own side.  Rinse and Repeat — 10x, then 15x, then 20x on the Booyahs
2. High Knee Run to partners in the middle, then Partner Leg Tosses, run back to own side (again 10, 15, and 20)
3. Bear Crawls to partner in the middle, then Partner Derkins (one partner in plank the other does Derkins).  In the interest of time, we did 5, then 10, then 15.

We finished up with the Tunnel of Love.  More on this later in the Wrap up.

What can I say about my first time out as Q?  I have to be honest — I was nervous from the moment I decided to take that step until the workout started this morning.  And then, I was fine and had a ton of adrenaline to push me through!  If I can do it, anyone can do it!  Make it a New Years Resolution to Q in 2017!

We had a very friendly PAX this morning — no surly faces, at least not that I noticed in the gloom.  After we enjoyed the 20 burpees to get us warmed up, we hit the Circle and got ourselves moving.  During the IJR’s I saw some really good jump rope moves and even some guys going double time with the rope.  Impressive.  Could they do that with a real rope, I wondered…  I wish I had hit the ATM one more time in the circle, but I moved on to make sure we had time for Meet in the Middle.

The hardest part of “meet in the middle” was the actual meeting in the middle since it was so dark out in the field.  I heard PAX members shouting out their partners names trying to find them in the gloom.  It actually added an element of fun to the whole thing.  I almost stepped on a 2.0 at one point — that would have left a mark.  Looking back, I think I would have done more reps of the meet in the middle exercises, but not knowing how much time anything would take, I think it turned out okay.

There was definitely a slowdown in the tunnel today as we crawled our way through.  Part of the reason might have been the unexpected sharp turn in the tunnel as people made their way through to the end.  We rectified the situation eventually and the back up in the tunnel subsided.  We headed back to the flag and finished up!  Why was I so nervous??

Great fun was had by all on this gloomy Christmas Eve Eve. YHC showed up a little later than normal to find the parking lot empty (5:25). But all of sudden a wave of cars came rushing in and things got started.

During COP, YHC introduced a new exercise LBFC (Little Baby Flutter Crunch). On your 6, feet do flutter kick while upper body does crunch, only counting the crunches. This may make an appearance during part 3.

The mumble chatter was at a all time low during Vixen’s game. YHC feel this was due to the focus level of the PAX and the fact that no Rat could be found.

Cupid’s Loves Bear Crawls (aka Bear Crawl Snake) was not well greeted by the PAX. YHC feels some member should have been at The Shining the day before to understand what Love is all about.

During COT a falling object (maybe an acron) feel into Emoji’s eye. He seems to be ok but Wild Thing came over to comfort him just in case

Strong work this morning by the PAX. The 27 degree weather increased the intensity and sense of shared challenge. We were missing some normal guys due to travel and fart sacking but a strong team stormed the parking lot and got to work. The mumble chatter was minimal due to heavy breathing that could be seen due to the frigid air. There was notable encouragement during each transition from the exercise to the run during the Secret Santa gift “exchange.”

The loudest laughter came when YHC asked the PAX to repeat after him and they said to their partners, “I have a gift for you… It is a BEATDOWN!” The gift was given and given with intensity.

Spit burned through the runs around the building in between exercises and continues to excel. Nobody gave up and everyone pushed through challenge together. Opus continues to take no prisoners with his commitment and improvement. He leads music at an elementary school by day but he is a becoming a beast in the mornings!

Two FNGs came to play and they brought their A-game for sure. Small Mouth (FNG) had heard about F3 but had hurt his back right before it launched. He drove 30 minutes to engage in the workout. That is dedication to discipline! Spare (FNG) was EH’d by Mudface at the Beer & Hymns gathering last night at Center of the Universe brewery where Chow-DAH led the music with his notable guitar and singing skills.

There are all kinds of connections and opportunities right in front of us if we keep our eyes open. The SadClown Syndrome better be scared because we are taking it to it hard. This race is a marathon, not a sprint, and we need one another to keep pushing forward one day at a time. Our wives, children, friends, co-workers, neighbors, communities of faith and strangers in need can be impacted eternally as we continue to engage and reject passivity as men.

Let’s keep pressing on!

18 warriors arose to greet the day and to dominate Friday.  The willing and able of the Atlee brigade answered the call to action:

The thang:

COP:  SSH, Imperial Walker, LCB, Freddie Mercury X 20, Merkin X 10

Power of 10:  10 rounds of the following – 10 Merkin, 10 Squat and 10 two-count American Hammers.  Complete one round at each end of the parking lot.

Pyramid of Success: Partner up and complete a round of Boo-ya merkins and Partner Burpees.  The pyramid is 2, 4, 6, 8, 6, 4, 2 of each exercise with a short run between each one.

Circle of Life:  Partner up.  Working your way around the building one partner runs and the other partner completes a forward moving exercise.  Once the person running catches the person exercising, they switch it up. The exercises are lunges and polar bears.  Alternate until a complete circle has been made around the building.

Numberama, namerama and The Carpenter took us out.

Moleskin:  The Creek has been on the radar for quite some time for YHC and the Atlee brigade did not disappoint.  YHC found it very pleasing to see an incredible effort from the entire pax.  Of note was a considerable variation in ages.  From teenagers to a 60 year old warrior, everyone’s sweat looks the same. If you can show up and give a hi-five, you can do this.  TClaps to the men who have built and strengthen this community.  You should be very proud of this work.

News:  Bear Creek 10 Miler is this weekend.  If you have interest in a rumble in the woods, see Circle K or Lab Rat.

Next weekend is the final weekend of the Hampton Roads launch. Rosie is leading the charge.  The willing and able should join him.

The M of Emoji completed her final round of chemo this week. She is a warrior princess and has won this battle.  Here’s to a speedy recovery and a lifetime of adventures.

Please keep Toga and Abacus in your thoughts and prayers.  Both of these fine men experiences the passing of family members this week. The will be challenges in the coming weeks and months for our brothers. However, if there was ever anyone up to the call to lead their families it is these two outstanding men.

Your call to action is to be the best version of yourself and dominate your Friday.

Be super.

Great showing at the Creek today with most PAX members staying in their fart sacks or being on the road today.

With today being Black Friday, YHC felt was only fitting to share with the PAX they specials they would be able to find today (these are actual specials at the retail stores for anyone that is interested).

The final count on the Merkins should be around 300 to 305.

The Carpenter made a comment it seems that it was smelling like we are still in our fart sacks. No worries it was just some near by septic tanks giving a wonderful aroma in the air.

At about the halfway point the PAX ask if the Karate Kid could come back. HeHe not allowed.

Welcome back to Tea Party! Glad that you were able to make it.
