Ballin’ Cowboy Style @ Defiant 7/8/19

Pre-Party: YHC led Barney in some stretching…start off the week right!

7 PAX in attendance for the main event: BeerGoggles, DoubleBirds, Prof. X, SexEd (welcome back!), Barney Fievel, Old Hickory & 3rdDegree (Q)

Disclaimer/Warm’o’Rama: This is an off the cuff 3D extravaganza due to some WhiskeyKnee by Typo+ (seriously though, he strained his back…TAP)

  • OldHickory Lap at 5:30 around the front of the school back to the prop…he joined in right around kickoff

Thang.1:

We played with Balls. Giant cement balls in front of school were the prop. We did Irkins with hands on the ball x 25, Derkins with feet on the ball x 25, Toes to Ball (on your 6) x 25, Alternating leg step ups (modify with knee to elbow) x 30 (15 each leg), Plank Variations with High (hands on Ball), Low (Decline position) and L and R side

Mosey around parking lot with variations of Mosey, Politician, L&R Karaoke

We have 2 Balls, so 2 rounds seemed appropriate…25 Irkins again with the last 5 EXPLODE to standing then fall back onto Ball with outstretched arms, 25 Ball-Hugger Derkins with ankles (or legs in Prof. X’s case) on the sides of the ball hugging it to keep body in Derkin position. 25 WWIIs with feet under Ball, then Leap Frog over the 8 balls in line with frog-hops between if needed. These Balls kick back with Double Birds getting Bum-rushed halfway through!

Enough of that…thanks for accommodating my spontaneity PAX!

Thang.2:

Inspired by Tombstone and the book of Revelations, we did the full-price (no coupons…get it?!)

4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse: (patent pending)

4 Apocalypses of 4 exercises: Burpees, Floating Starfish (each side 1/2), Pull-ups, and IronMikes (each side 1/2)

Exercises A, B, C & D in progressive rounds like this: 10A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1A, 10B, 2C, 2D, 2A, 2B, 10C, 3D (the best round), 3A, 3B, 3C, 10D, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 9A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5A, 9B, 6C, 6D, 6A, 6B, 9C, 7D, 7A, 7B, 7C, 9D, 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D and done…

Great way to get 55 reps of each exercise completed in a manageable way.

We moseyed back to the lot for CoT but got in a few plank variations on the Ball for good measure…6:15 already?!

CoT / Counterama / Namerama

What we learned:

  • Don’t drift with the culture and let laziness drag you into an undisciplined life. Plant a foot in the current and head upstream. Making the choice to get out of the FartSak and come post is step 1.
  • I enjoyed some coffeeteria 2nd F with Prof. X but had to drink solo…

BullHorn:

  • Continue to keep health issues of multiple PAX in your T&P: Ulysses, Typo+, Carrot, MicDrop and others I’m sure…
  • Pray for Barney’s new job (started today) and for a possible opportunity for YHC
  • NightPath: free Ruck CSAUP July 27 with F3Franklin. Talk to 3D for more info.
  • F3Dads Camp in Tennessee in September!!! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/f3-dads-camp-runamuck-tickets-58879270483

Humbled with the opportunity to sharpen and be sharpened.

– 3D OUT!!!!
