F3 Impossible Situation

 

10/9/2022

 

YHC was on the docket to Q IS and what a gift of a weather weekend for being outside.  Perfect Fall temps and so we got at it with two Down Range F3 guys: @Boatmisser from F3 Charlotte and @Bieber from F3 Pittsburgh.

 

Warmarama IC:

 

SSH, IW, Merkins, Peter Parkers, Leatherman Warmup (I’m workshopping the name)

 

The Leatherman:

** new warmup routine for YHC!

  1. From standing, walk out like Inch worm, do 1 merkin;
  2. Right foot to right hand, open up chest with right hand to the sky for stretch.  Switch feet by stepping or jumping left foot to left hand and do the same stretching left arm to the sky.
  3. Walk back your hands to your feet and roll up to standing;
  4. With arms overhead in Mary Katherine pose, do 1 reverse lung on each side;
  5. Do one squat, return to standing.

 

Mosey to the track for a warm up lap with carioca and some other warm up along the way

 

Mosey to the playground for:


Deck of Death

Pull four cards per turn, do exercises, run around the play set

Diamonds = Diamond merkins
Spades = Squats
Clubs = DC Freddy Mercuries
Hearts =  Swing Lat pulls
Aces = 15 of exercise suit exercise
Jokers = 25 burpees

Got through 7 or 8 Rounds and ended after 2nd Joker was pulled and the Q kinda had enough of that business…

 

Mosey back to the parking lot and the field beyond for

 

Iron PAX 2022 Review

 

Murder Bunny relay: 

Q Fail on Murder bunny relay but all had an opportunity to go out about 15 yards forwards and backwards with murder bunnies

PAX without blocks did: Jump squats while they waited.

Repeato with Plank jacks and Kraken Burpees (burpee with 3 hand release merkins)

 

Circle of Thrust:

PAX in a circle: pass blocks around as each PAX does 10 thrusters, PAX without held plank or did merkins in between

 

Short mosey to the parking lot for Broga followed by democratic MOM

 

Democratic MOM:

PAX all brought out regular fare but #BoatMisser from Charlotte broke the Q with JackWebs up to 10.

COT:

 

YHC took out the PAX with a moment of silence and reflections of my Aikido Instructor who recently passed. He viewed Budo as more than martial arts; it’s a process of self improvement.  That when one’s mind, heart, and center/body are aligned and centered we are capable of amazing, powerful, and compassionate things.  When caring for one’s self and caring for one’s opponent you can achieve harmony.  TLDR: be the positive change you want to see in the world.

  • YHC expected low numbers so didn’t bring extra cinder blocks and planned to be a little lax since it likely would be just a few regular guys.  When the first two there were F3 from Charlotte and Pittsburgh, YHC needed to amp up to make sure we didn’t look like a bunch of Softie McSofties…
  • Mutton of course knew the other finance guy (Boatmisser) because that’s what he does
  • Ziggy got after it and didn’t shy from the IPC review even after leading and finishing IPC Wk 5 a couple days before
  • Bieber from F3 Pittsburgh was flying around doing all the things.  Can’t slow that guy down.  The last time he visited his brother  in Winston, he posted at IS and remembers the guy that does a lot of pullups (Van Gogh)
  • Boatmisser was in town for his last parent’s weekend for his senior at WFU.  He’s been doing F3 since the 2nd ever workout.  His call for Jack Webs was an old school move and he showed that he could still hang. #Strong
  • Great opportunity at cofffeteria to discuss experiences with F3 throughout the regions with our visiting PAX.  Thanks for the keys, Mutton
