Tag: Timberwolf

1 out of towner and 1 local escaped the fartsack on a sunny and 70 (35 and rainy) morning at Timberwolf.  Dana arrived early and not knowing where to park, followed a teacher into the main lot.  After getting out, convincing her that he was not a predator and was only a fool looking for other fools to workout with in this lovely weather, he found YHC pulling into the lot.

It was quickly agreed that the weather sucked and there was no reason to roll around in the mud like we did at NoToll.  A run on the track and around campus with some stops for merkins was completed.  A few miles covered at a nice easy conversational pace.  Good to get to know Dana, who will likely be back for work every few months.  Now he knows where to go and will hopefully be greeted by more PAX next time he visits Timberwolf.

Next Thursday, celebration of the First Thanksgiving.  6am at 45MOM.  No Timberwolf unless New Market wants to take the lead.

8 Warriors were ready to roll as the clock struck 530 this morning at Timberwolf.  But wait, there are headlights coming, its Rosie, so 3 burpees OYO as Rosie emerged from the car, then the PAX was off and running.

NMS:

First and foremost, 9 strong at Timberwolf is great numbers, way to work men!!  Great to see Bobber back out after a small break, as well as Peaches is becoming a regular, strong work!  DK and Bullseye have been crushing the clown car in SOJ lately, as well as crushing the workouts.  Great work by Mr. Roper as well for posting and providing the mumble chatter for the full 45 mins.  Rosie did Rosie things, completing the corners in a very quick fashion.  Honeymoon, Wilson and YHC got a 2.5 mile ruck in before the 530 post.  Awesome stuff and Strong work by all.  Always a privilege to lead this group, and honored to do so……..OH!!! and the Q sheet for Timberwolf is WIDE OPEN, Please feel free to sign up.

#KEEPPOUNDING

Marmaduke

 

After SOT yesterday a couple SOJ regulars noted that they would not be attending the Rosie Q at Timberwolf, apparently word got out in New Market too with a no show from that contingent.  Fortunately Beaker showed up to keep YHC company.

Mosey around the parking lot checking out a potential LIFO, no dice, unless the teacher wants to workout in khakis (Ask Vinny if yard khakis are acceptable workout attire).  Warmup IC and In Converstion with Helicopters, DQ, Arm Circles, SSH, LBC, Merkins, IW.

Mosey to the bus loop for Blackjack – start with 20 LBC on one side of the lot, run across do 1 merkin – continue adding up to 21 to 1 LBC and 20 merkins.  Easy mosey to Light pole alley.

Alternate choosing exercises and movements between poles.  Assortment of Squats, box cutters, Freddie Mercurys, merkins, SSH, Alternating shoulder taps and others, closing out with American Hammers.

Thanks for keeping YHC company and setting the pace Beaker.  After a night of hanging at a neighborhood fire pit and sampling the kids candy the “in conversation” pace was appreciated.  A total of 250 merkins were dropped on the 2 PAX to get started on November the right way.  This all went down the morning after YHC’s namesake, a not quite washed up Derrick Rose, dropped 50 in an NBA game.  After multiple knee surgeries and bouncing around the NBA, he’s still got it.

Thanks for indulging me and letting me lead you through some merkin heavy work this morning Beaker.

Have a great day.

7 Regulars and 1 FNG broke out at Timberwolf on a frosty morning.  Once the FNG was introduced and 530 hit, the PAX was off.

Awesome morning gents!  Welcome to FNG Gatekeeper, you crushed your first day. TCI Claps to DK for continuing to EH, well done brother.  Also great to see Bullseye, Beaker, and Peaches out as well.  All 3 men have become regulars, to the point where the PAX discovered this morning that it is time for Bullseye to get on the Q sheet!  There was an odd odor this morning at T’wolf though, oh wait, Wilson just didn’t fart, the air was clean and fresh today!!  Just kidding, strong work by Wilson and Honeymoon as well! Mumble chatter was great, I’m sure i missed some trying to warm up, so feel free to add.   Honor to lead this morning gents, appreciate the opportunity and the push to get better!.

Be light for someone today!  See you in the gloom!

So much happened in this short 45 mins the 5 of us were at the AO that i’ve decided to bullet point it to summarize:

• Respect to Rosie and Gumbo for knocking out their miles before posting
• WIlson and Marmaduke may have witnessed a body dumping occur before workout, keep eyes on news channels today
• Rosie has admitted he knows what exercises to expect from a M’Duke COP – NOTED
• The gates being open at TImberwolf create a real danger for cars coming through, not really, but we are jumped when car came around the corner
• Old Glory still is painful on a smaller lot and for only 7 mins
• Rosie smoked the PAX on all segments – Gumbo wins the line of the day -from National Lampoons – “Im like the dog in the movie – Poor little guy probably tried to keep up for the first mile or so” . Well played Gumbo!
• Women walking up on 5 random guys doing box cutters at a middle school at 545am – Probably not going to get the “Good Morning” comment reciprocated
• Wilson’s farts still smell no matter how cold it is outside
• Wilson as we held 6 inches made the PAX call out their favorite donut – Best answer goes to Oyster – Simply Stated – DONUTS – game over!!
• Oyster learned not to pass Q to Rosie – not what the PAX wanted to hear with 7 mins left in the workout
• YHC learned that doing a crunchy frog on an incline is not possible at his weight and body shape, decline is much easier
• All PAX made themselves better by not only  posting this morning, but also leading at some point.

Have a great day men!  It was an awesome morning in the cold!

Marmaduke!

 

 

 

Slow day at Timberwolf as YHC stood in the flag waiting for Gumbo to return from his EC mile.  Beaker was riding solo this morning with the New Market crew being otherwise occupied on this lovely October morning.

On the initial mosey to the parking lot YHC mentioned that YHC’s M has been doing a workout that did a lot of things that we already do.  After having her list the order of things to try it out on the PAX, YHC forgot to review it this morning and was struggling to remember of the list of 10 exercises.  Since YHC had nothing else planned we were going to try it out anyway traveling around the bus loop.

Warmup with DQ, Helicopter, SSH, Hillbillies, LBC in the parking lot then mosey to the bus loop for the main event.

Inchworm – walk hands out, feet in x 4

Inchworm x 4, Spider merkins (staggered hands w/ Peter Parker) x 4

Inchworm x 4, Spider merkins x 4, Diamond (Grasshopper) Squat Jumps (Feet apart, together, apart, together = 1) x 4

3 above + Duck walk (4 steps =1) x 4

4 above + Flamingo kicks (1 leg deadlift, 1 leg behind) x 4 each side

5 above + Gorilla walk x 4 each side

6 above + Bear Crawl (4 steps = 1) x 4

7 above + Crabcake w/ dip x 4

8 above + Donkey Kick w/ Frog jump x 4

Do an additional 4 rounds of all 9 exercises while traveling around the loop keeping the PAX together.

Mosey around the back of the school and in keeping with the 4x theme, 4 burpees to close out the final seconds.

Great to work today with Beaker and Gumbo.  Thanks for indulging me with this experiment.  It was probably better to try with a PAX of 3 and no one that struggles with instructions.  Bonuses for this beatdown were keeping the PAX together, no running (Wilson) but constantly moving, and the options for alternate exercises or lower reps.  My M recommends no warmups and going through the entire thing 8 times, not 4, and the missing 10th exercise was Breakdancers, there’s always next time.   This is not a workout to forget gloves.  Expect to see the Spider Merkins again soon if Gumbo has anything to do with it.

Enjoy your 90 degree October day gentlemen.

 

7 Warriors graced the Parking lot this morning shortly before 530.  With an introduction complete to Pew our brother in town from Alabama, we were off for a fall like morning beatdown.

First of all welcome to our PAX brother from Mobile Alabama, it was great to have you out this morning PEW.  The Mobile F3 has been up and running for a couple of months now and they are leading on their own for the first time this SAT, awesome stuff and we wish them the best of luck, you guys will crush it.  Great to see Sparky back out this morning at Timberwolf.  The SOJ crew has passed the rule that he can no longer Q with coupons until he takes the pain to another AO first before returning back to Timberwolf, Sparky is up for the challenge so keep an eye on the Q sheet.  Gumbo and Rosie demolished the 11s like it was a walk in the park, way to work fellas. Beaker is getting stronger and faster and its awesome to see is growth and commitment, keep it up!  Always great to partner with Oyster and YHC loves the mumblechatter that comes along with it, and if youd dint know, Oyster is fast.  Strong work this morning fellas, its an honor as always to be allowed to lead this group.  make it a great day and be a beacon of light for someone who needs it today!  See you in the gloom!

NMS –

First of all, welcome to FNG Miata, you crushed it today and hats off to Sugar Sock for EHing him to come out today.  I appreciate you guys letting me lead you through the light-pole alley today.  Tons of mumblechatter today, mostly around can the Browns win tonight and will the Bills ever win again. Also TCI claps to DK for staying true to the #28 when it was his turn to chose an exercise, the great Daryl Green! Great to hit double digits at Timberwolf, now lets have an even stronger SOJ showing on Saturday.  Always an honor to lead this group of me, have a great day fellas and I will see you in the gloom.

Duke

YHC pulled up to the AO early to see a light making it’s way around the track a couple times.  As the other PAX started to roll in Oyster emerged from the gloom after getting in some extra credit track time.  He was apparently concerned that since YHC had the Q he wouldn’t get enough of a beatdown in the standard 45 minutes.  Let’s see what we can do about that.  The New Market Clown car emptied out and just as FNG (Gerry) pulled up the PAX was off and picked him up on the way out.

Warmup with Don Quixote, Side Straddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, LBC

Partner up for Dora in the bus parking lot.  Partner 1 runs around the median and back while partner 2 does 100 merkins, 200 Squats, 300 Flutter Kicks (2ct)

JITFO (See a BRR participant for the story on this one) to the front of the school to find Door #1.  Doors 1-5 do the door # burpees.  Doors 6-10 – Box Cutters, Doors 11-15 – Squats, Door 16 – merkins, Doors 17-18 LBC, Door 19 – merkins?, Doors 20-21 LBC, Door 22 – American Hammers (per Tobit), Door 23 Crunchy Frogs

Take a break to make sure Wilson doesn’t have a concussion after running into a school sign.  Curb Crawls up to 5.  YHC thinks the main reason Honeymoon doesn’t wear gloves is so he has an excuse not to do bear crawls on pavement.

Back to the shovel flag for Mary – Dollies, APD, Cross Leg Lifts, American Hammers.  Ring of Fire with Flair

Numbers/Names and Wilson took us out.

NMM

First off, welcome Peaches.  He reached out through the website after a friend from GA told him to find F3.  His attendance will be limited due to scheduling conflicts but hopefully he can become a regular.  This group will help in more ways than the physical fitness.  YHC wanted to give Peaches a taste of what we typically do and what better way than what was done at my first post but a Dora with some bear crawls thrown in.

The New Market Clown Car was in full effect this morning with 5 popping out of what YHC is picturing as a Yugo.  It probably was not but the story is better if it is.  Way to bring it fellas.  Wilson had room to bring a hug for everyone, even Peaches when he found out he was a fellow Bills fan.  The hugs were just Wilson’s way of coping with having a rookie QB starting for his team now.  Great to see Cerrano back out and pushing through everything.  Beaker and Oyster were happy to have some company after the dynamic duo hit the AO for their first unofficial Qs last week.  Wilson was checking out the bike racks when a lightpole mounted banner sign popped out and smacked him in the forehead.  Seeing no blood he continued the workout.  YHC had him close us out to check for signs of a concussion, all seemed well.  Hope the knot on your head isn’t too bad.

With a Dora and partnering with someone like Gumbo, the first runner does not have many merkins left to do after the first run.  Depends on who you are on whether that is a problem or not.  Props to Marmaduke for helping Peaches out through the Dora, no man left behind.  It doesn’t get easier, you get stronger.

At 05:23 one PAX appears in the gloom that is Timberwolf. On arrival he noticed one unmanned car was already parked.  A headlamp was moving around the track.  05:30 and the light kept moving around the track so with no Q and no other PAX or clown cars approaching, Beaker decided it was time to Mosey on down and catch up with the unknown SOJ’er (Oyster).  That said it became a two man hot potato Q to see who could bring on the most pain.
