QIC: Wildwing

A bit nippy 27 degrees this morning but never a problem for those familiar with Jack LaLanne’s Kingdom [(Fitness the King and nutrition the Queen)]. Our very own Jester, the Comical Ruxpin, regretted that the F3 Knights did not carry him back in triumph to the CHOP. In truth though, some were slightly winded from their Norwegian Sprints, known locally as the 30-20-10 sessions.

Warm – O – Rama

SSH – 25 IC, Cherry Pickers – 25 IC, Moroccan Night Club – 25 IC, Windmill – 20 IC.

THE THANG

Today’s lark was premised on the virtues of the 30 – 20 – 10 Norwegian run which moves through successive intervals of 30 seconds jogging, 20 seconds moderate running, and 10 seconds of all out sprinting. HIMs completed roughly 10 intervals which were rudely interrupted by the Jester, aka Ruxpin, who demanded the odd batch of merkins and burpees at unexpected times. After 8 or so Norwegians, the group enjoyed an Australian Oblique Session – Side Dips, Side Reach Planks, Sexy Spiders, and Butterfly Sit Ups. Then back to the Norwegian’s before ending with CHOP Wall Squats. All in all, 1.57 miles of running and endless insults from the Jester.

The Third F (with thanks to the Q Source): Every HIM runs a Royalty Race with himself.  The Race is focused on gradually but consistently improving one’s fitness level.  It is not enough to merely stay in shape. Staying in shape is what Amateurs try to do.

The inspiration for the Royalty Race comes from Jack LaLanne, who said that exercise is king and nutrition is queen—put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.

F3 added the Jester because we realized that the wrong temptation can topple even the strongest man’s fitness kingdom.  (Ruxpin as Jester?)

The goal of the King is to constantly increase the four elements of FITNESS:  Speed, Strength, Stamina, and Toughness.

Fitness is best Accelerated by running with faster runners.  Together, we sharpen each other—as iron sharpens iron.

It’s simple really. If you want to learn how to run faster, just find a faster man. And chase him until you catch him.

Number – O – Rama: 12 PAX

With apologies for ending a few minutes early and failing to video anything other than the odd embarrassment, honored to Q! Wildwing

Grateful Dead dancing bear
Basically a plank-o-rama with some stupidity mixed in. Do 5 Merkins. Rotate 360° in place to the left. Left arm up, right arm up, etc. Do 5 Werkins. Rotate 360° in place to the right. Left arm up, right arm up, etc. Do 5 Diamond Merkins. Now while in place, lift left arm and leg up, then quickly swap to right arm and leg up. Do this back and forth as quick as you can, making sure to get full extension. Now you look like a Dancing Bear!

5 rounds of Obama’s and Jonny Drama’s
Obama
In honor of the 44th POTUS, this traveling exercise consists primarily of a Bear Crawl, but after every 4 hand moves PAX must stop and perform 4 Merkins. (The 4 and 4 for the 44th, in case you needed that explained to you…)
Jonny Drama
Stand with your toes on a stair. One hand on the handrail to the side. Drop your heels below the stair, and then do a calf raise (Technically a Negative Calf Raise). Johnny Drama wanted Calf implants because his calves were not big enough – get them bigger using this. Will smoke the PAX when multiple sets of 25+ are done in workout and folks start running funny

She Hate Me
10 Lunges (20 movements)/10 Burps (Burpees without the pushup and the standing)/10 Pushups. No rest, as many sets as you can, for as long as the QIC deems necessary.

QIC: Chappie

Another double-digit Saturday at the Aegis AO in Georgetown, DE. Hey, this is starting to look like a habit. Now, its time to start getting in some regular coffeeteria. YHC, along with Doubtfire and his 2.0 (FNG Fly Catcher) enjoyed some o’ that 2ndF following Saturday’s workout. Always well worth it!

11 PAX posted for what turned out to be a sunny Saturday at the Aegis–a rare sunny day, albeit rather breezy. It seems to rain more often than not at the Aegis, so we’ll take the sun any day. It went a little something like this:

DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSH – 18 IC
  • Moroccan Night Club’s – 18 IC
  • Italian Night Club’s – 18 IC
  • Cherry Picker, Crab Flipper, Hairy Chigger – 18 IC (CPCFHC’s)
  • Planks Jacks – 18 IC
  • Imperial Walker’s – 18 IC

THE THANG:

PAX led to YHC’s vehicle where each one received a paver & a frisbee (seriously, a frisbee).

Mosey to North Bedford Street Park carrying said coupons, holding paver OH every other block. Once arriving at the park, PAX placed pavers spread out along a line perpendicular to the swing set.

From the line of Pavers, PAX tossed their frisbee. Goal: Toss frisbee to distant picnic table in as few throws as possible (like in disc golf). Number of throws = the number of Swerkin Rounds per PAX. First 3 rounds = 25 Swerkins, subsequent rounds = 10 Swerkins (see video above for Swerkin demo). About half the PAX hit the picnic table in 3 throws (3 rounds), other half in 4 throws (4 rounds).

  • Frisbee Seal Crawl back to paver line.
  • Swerkin Round 1 – 25 Swerkins
  • Paver Drag to park bench, OH Press back to line.
  • Swerkin Round 2 – 25 Swerkins
  • *Frisbee Seal Crawl to picnic table was planned, but due to the number of broken frisbees from the first round YHC had to Omaha: Paver Drive to picnic table. *Apparently frisbees have a weight limit.
  • OH Lunge Press return to line.
  • Swerkin Round 3 – 25 Swerkins (those things carry some suck factor!)
  • Paver Drag to park bench, mosey return to line.
  • Subsequent Round – 10 Swerkins, while 3-Round PAX did a varied mosey around perimeter of field: Nur, Karaoke, mosey. Upon completion of Swerkins, other PAX caught up on perimeter mosey.

In midst of Swerkin rounds, PAX took a 3rd F breather. Because of sore throat and oncoming head-cold, YHC had to abbreviate his 3rdF. Here’s the full account of what was prepared/borrowed from the Q Source:

PAX stacked the pavers and frisbees for post-workout pick-up. Shout out thanks to Chattahoochee for the reload assistance!

Still time on the clock, so we circled up for a little introduction of Jack Webb (1/4 ratio).

Mosey return to AO

NUMBER-RAMA: 11 PAX, nice double-digits again! Let’s keep up the EH’ing; it’s that time of year when it’s a little easier to get new PAX to post. Hit ’em up men! Great push by all, especially Doubtfire’s 2.0 FNG!

NAME-O-RAMA: Welcome to Doubtfire’s 2.0, Harrison, now known as Fly Catcher. This young HIM is, in his own words, a “bird nerd.”

BOM:

  • Announcements
  • Prayers

Coffeeteria followed at Dunkin. Nor worries, we ate healthy and had some good fellowship between Doubtfire, Fly Catcher, and YHC.

Honored to Q it up at the Aegis!

Merlot? Hill No!

, , , , , , , , / Leave a Comment / CHOP, Milton, DE / By

DATE: 3/14/19

QIC: Chappie

We’ve a pain location nicknamed “O Hill No!” due to the nature of the beatdowns which have occurred there, and, it’s a hill. Don’t tell Vanilla but the first use of that hill was prior to his being jumped-in to this gang we call F3. The workout involved some cindy coupons that Santa had left at the bottom of the hill because he found no Christmas Tree nearby — he had to leave the blocks somewhere! Still, Vanilla gets some credit because the first beatdown he Q’d there left the PAX saying, “O Hill No!” and so the hill was dubbed. However, right next to that location is a portion of Behringer Ave. which for obvious reasons was dubbed Merlot Hill (as was the FNG so named that day in March 2017). He promptly got married and moved up to O-H-I-Ohh…the extent to which some will go so they’ll NEVER have to post again! Lol, just kidding, YHC has kept in touch with Merlot and HE still talks about that humbling day. Anyway, you had to be there. Yet, from time-to-time YHC tries to recreate the aforementioned (language borrowed from Wildwing) experience. Here’s a little of what that looks like:

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSH – 20 IC
  • Imperial Squat Walkers – 10 IC
  • Cherry Pickers, Crab flippers, Hairy Chiggers – 18 IC
  • “Swartz Jacks” – 18 IC (Combo of Seal Jacks + 4-count SSH’s YHC’s beloved gym teacher taught in elementary school)
  • Suzanne Somers – 30 out, 30 in OYO
  • Drydocks – 40 OYO (butt up, Chairman!)
  • Low Slow Squats – 10 IC

THE THANG:

Indian Run mosey to the bottom of the hill at the intersection of Behringer Ave. & Chandler St., nice easy pace then picked up last 1/4 mile.

Round trip 2x = 1 mile

11’s (Merkin Merlot March Madness) from the pole at the bottom to the pole at the top of the incline. 1 Merkin at the bottom, 10 at the top. 2 Merkins at the bottom, 9 at the top. Rinse & repeat until reaching 10 at the bottom, 1 at the top.

PAX moved from bottom to top/top to bottom with a variety of mix/match transitions: Mosey’s, Lt. Dan’s, Nur, Accelerating Man, etc.

3rd F Breather:

Indian Run mosey return to AO, picked up the pace crossing over Union St., into the Willow St. entrance to the CHOP AO.

Still 7 minutes on the clock? What the what?? Time to intro some new ones borrowed from “Band of Brothers” [extras] :

Atomic Sit-ups: PAX in sit-up position, side-by-side, right arm over top & left arm under. PAX do sit-ups in-sync — Up then 3rd of way down, back up. 10 Reps.

Caterpillar Merkins: PAX all in 1 line, feet on shoulders of man behind you (Chairman, pleeeeease plank…get your butt out of my face!). In sync, IC. Surge “Up!”, “Down.” 10 Reps.

Great push by all 9 PAX who won THAT FIRST BATTLE and posted. Hey, Bo Derek, where were you? Broke out the shorts with a nice taste of Spring. Let’s go warm weather! Great time to EH and rescue the Sad Clowns. Record breaking PAX numbers are near future. So, post and post regularly.

By the way…was there Merlot today? O Hill no!

COP/BOM:

  • ANNOUNCEMENTS: “Shamruck” this Sunday (St. Patty’s Day). Georgetown Circle @3:17 p.m. Bring the whole family, wagons, strollers, etc. Easy ruck. Fun time. Great 2ndF between all our families.
  • PRAYERS: Chairman’s parents: Brenda/Denny, healing; Doubtfire’s daughter, Leah; Waterfall’s sis-in-lo, Leah

That’s about it. Appreciate the opportunity to Q it up!

Chappie, out!
