Slamburry PAX for Coffeteria: Greasetrap, Dr. Smartt, Tampalibra,

A large group came out in the soup to get the scoop on the 2^nd running of Friendly Friday at Cruel Hall.  YHC realized the group was larger than expected, made some slight modifications and asked the PAX to bang out 5 merkins before embarking on a slow mosey down Trousdale to the bus loop for some lunges, toy soldiers (aka hop kick warm ups), backpedal and just a regular old mosey back to the parking lot for some WOR.

SSH x20 IC

Imperial Walkers x20 IC

Hillbillies x20 IC

Hop Kicks x10 IC ( I think this is the max reps)

Slow and Low Merks x10 IC

 

Partner up…Partner 1 grab a coupon and everyone circle up in the pavilion.

THANG

PART ONE – TABATA warm-up

20 seconds of high intensity exercise with 10 seconds of rest. 8 total sets.

Broad jumps/Fast Feet for the first 4 sets and Merkins for sets 5-8.

Bagger mistakenly identifies Young the Giant as punk rock…he got his punk on Monday

PART DEUX – HILL WORK

Partner 1 runs down to the holler, touches a sign and runs back up the hill to relieve Partner 2

Partner 2 performs AMRAP of the called exercise

Plank and wait for the 6 – 10 merkins IC between each round.

 

We did Thrusters, sumo squats and full body work (thruster with a curl and skull crusher mixed in)

PART THREE – SPRINTS

Parking lot…1s in front shoulder to shoulder, 2s pole to their partner’s hole

1s 50% to Vegemite’s ride and 100% to the end of the lot

Drop down for merkins while down there, repeat on way back.

Meanwhile, 2s perform various exercises with their coupon.

Flapjack. We did this sequence 3 times total

PART FOUR – BUS LOOP

1s in front, 2s behind – Broad Jump to 1^st speed bump, 10 jump squats

Lunge to 2^nd speed bump, 20 merkins

Backpedal to 3^rd speed bump, 10 jump squats

If you are up for it, run to grab a coupon and return. If not, mosey to parking lot and circle up for some…

Megan Barry’s x10 IC

J-Los x20 IC

THANG PART 5

Sevens – Merkins / Jump Squats.  Now we’re done.

 COT/BOM

Welcome FNGs Jake Brake (Bill Pickup) and Nick Papagiorgio (Lucas McIntosh). Great to have you out…see you back out again soon.

 NMM

YHC challenged the PAX to think of one personal relationship that they have not been attentive to. The idea is to identify that one relationship and reach out to them TODAY.  I am personally trying to do that at least once a week and encourage you all to do the same.  My boy PSL closed us out in prayer and then it was coffee and donut time thanks to Donuts (for the coffee) and Capslock (for the Donuts). It was a pleasure always.

Until next time,

CCR

42 on Franklin and Nashville’s finest showed up this morning to Honor our troops, and be reminded that freedom is not Free.

Conditions: 70 degrees and air is “Alittle full, alot of sap” Sweating just talking to the PAX.

PAX: Princess Aurora, Tortoise, Funyuns (Alram Malfunction), The Jeweler, Blue Mule (Fresh off a Boys night Out), CCR (Fresh Haircut), DaMissionnuts, FTTRA (DJ on IR), Pope (Shirtless), Lump, DillyDilly (Full Weight Vest included), Grease Trap, Floppy D, Hi-Viz, CrawDaddy, 3rd Person, 3rd Degree, Torch, LifeChamp, Dupree, CalfKiller, Dr. Smart, Vegemite, Ludwig, Yard Sale, Hambone, Frogger, Venus, FNG Dorothy, Offshore, Edible arrangements, NumTucks, FNG SexWax, Grisham, HackFace , Shocker, PopaLock, Blago ( Welcome Back), OlanMills, Cinderella, Diesel and YHC.

Warmorama: Who Cares! BBC, SSH and Couple of Burpies. Honestly I couldn’t hear myself talk with the U2 Concert going over from FTTAL’s Sound System.

The Thang: The Murph F3 Style.

Get into 4 groups
Group 1: Run around the Soccer Fields ~ 0.25miles
Group 2: 5 Pullups
Group 3: 10 Hand release Burpies
Group 4: 15 Jump Squats.

Perform (5pullups, 10HRB, 15JS) RnR then do you lap
you need to do 8 laps total and 20 rounds of (5pullups,10HRB, 15JS)

This will equal the 100, 200, 300 with the running distance over 2 miles, which is the Murph.

MC: None to be found, or at least none around me. Sweat pouring everywhere. A random Dude decided to take up a full pullup bar for himself. I hope some one at least tried to Flying EH him. If you follow F3 Nashville on Insta you’ll see him in the background still getting his reps in while we are doing COT.

Moleskin: I did not expect 42 this morning. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to yell at Y’all in organized Chaos . Please reach out to guys you haven’t seen in a while.

Crawfish/3rd Person going away party. More Dets to come.

Dupree on the 3rd F, watch out on slack for info.

Safe travels to all those DR

Prayers for Spicoli. Please DM if any question on his Cancer.

Ironclad Signups still going on. Again Slack is your place to signup.

GoRuck Heavy…………. Another F3 Custom will be put on the Calendar. I will let you know when information comes out. I would encourage us to get as many HCs from Nashville and Franklin. Consider it a way to keep your Man Card up to date.

Sparty on, and SYITG,

Big Bang

YHC: CAPS LOCK

19 courageous souls descended upon Cruel Hall for yet another Friday installment.  Today’s theme was “Friendly Friday” in an attempt to EH those we have been working on for a while and give them a lighter taste of “just a few jumping jacks and push-ups” (at least that’s how I pitched my FNG)).  The irony of YHC on Q for Friendly Friday was not lost on myself as I suspect most of my Q’s are Friendly Friday-worthy anyway.  I was sweating, so whatever.

It went like this:

Mosey down to the bus loop where I caught my FNG coming in hot.  He was apparently been sitting in the literal back parking lot of the school because YHC had given some bad directions.  Apologies. Caught him and the rest of the pax where the following WOR occurred:

SSH x 10

Squats x 10

Willie Mays Hayes x 10

Good Mornings x 10

LBAC front x 10

LBAC reverse x 10

Over head presses x 10

Everyone find a spot on the line for Cruel Hall’s newest favorite exercise — CAPS LOCK HOPS. 60 seconds front to back followed by 60 seconds side to side. RNR x 1.  Mosey down to grab some bar for 20 OYO rows and 20 OYO merkins on the bar.  Plank and wait for the 6.

Mosey to the pavilion for burpee/squat 7s. Plank and wait for the 6.

Mosey to the top of the bus loop where we People’s Chair for the 6.  partner up and explain DORA 1-2-3. 100 plank jacks, 200 LBCS, 300 Overhead claps. P 2 is running the loop and beginning reps where P1 finished.

Mosey to the coupon shed for 10 rep coupon pyramid of OH presses. Next set is 10 rep coupon pyramid of squats.

Mosey back to the back lot.  Pax lines up on line and Lt. Dan’s approx 20 yards, 3/4 mosey to the other end (approx 60 yards).  Rinse n repeat back the same way.  All pax lines up for full sprint to end.  Rinse n repeat back the same way.

Mary:

30 flutter kicks

10 tempo merkins

Finish last 60 seconds with Good Mornings

FNGs: Glad to have three come out last Friday. Welcome Hollowback Girl, Backlot because that’s his favorite place to park for a workout, and Special Agent Greenwall.

 

Hope everyone enjoyed the first Friendly Friday, as always it was a pleasure to lead you all.

 

CAPS LOCK

QIC: Vegemite

PAX: Bagger Vance, PreVac, Ludwig Von Oshkosh, Big Stick, Floppy Disk, Skidmark, Olan Mills, Edible Arrangements, Black Lung, Razor (Venus), Tidy Cats, Rooster, Swampfox, Accounts Receivable, Yard Sale, Foxtrot Talks A Lot, Frogger, Offshore, Brother-at-Law, 3rd Degree, Spider Bite, Balloon Knot (FNG), Sandlapper (FNG) (Missing two on this list — ping me on Slack if I didn’t include you.)

YHC’s first solo Q saw 26 HIM up bright and early for a little Cruel Hall action. As there were two FNGs today, BV suggested I drop the disclaimer before a quick mosey out of the parking lot and back around for today’s WOR:

SSH x15 IC
Slow and Low Squats x12 IC
Good Mornings x10 IC
Willie Mays Hayes x10 IC
Calf Stretch x10 IC
Baby Arm Circles x10 IC
Reverse BAC x10 IC

PAX counted off by twos, and the 1s looked to their left to find their partner for the day. Then we all moseyed down to the bottom of the bus loop for an explanation of today’s THANG:

A documentary series on Netflix called The Toys That Made Us inspired today’s workout. If you were a kid in the 80s, you owe it to yourself to check it out. One of the toys they covered was G.I. Joe, so what better way to take everyone back to their childhood than by working together to defeat Cobra. This was a variation on B.O.M.B.S., and I’ve listed the modifications below:

C: Carolina Dry Docks x150
O: Overhead Claps x200
B: Big Boy Situps x200
R: Reverse Lunges x200
A: Americans (AKA Merkins) x150

Partners worked together to complete all reps. Partner 1 started the exercises while partner 2 ran the bus loop. Flapjack that until each team completed all reps. Teams planked and waited for the six.

Once we finished that up, YHC realized there wasn’t enough time to properly pay tribute to one of the most B.A. characters in the G.I. Joe universe, Snake Eyes. Don’t worry, we might revisit my plan for him at some point in the future.

Instead, we moseyed back to the playground area for 80 rows split among each team. Partner 1 started while partner 2 did AMRAP merkins. Once we finished that up, we moseyed back up to the parking lot to end the week like Ludwig started it. We actually finished two rounds of his excellent Bear Crawl/Crawl Bear Suicide and Burpee Extravaganza. Partner 1 started off with the Bear Crawls, while partner 2 did AMARP burpees — we flapjacked that after P1 finished.

Somehow during the Bear Crawls/Burpees, the timer on my watch stopped. It seemed strange that there was always 5 minutes left every time I looked down at it. After the suicide/burpee combo, MARY consisted of 20x Flutter Kicks followed by 20x Hello Dollys. Fortunately, someone else knew it was time to stop after that.

COT:
Keep Prevac and his wife in your thoughts and prayers. She’s been dealing with dizziness, head/neck pain, and nausea due to some inflammation in her mandible. Also, please continue to keep Ludwig and his wife in your thoughts and prayers. Last Friday was one year out from her brain tumor surgery.

I appreciate y’all allowing me to Q, and I’m looking forward to more in the future.

22 unsuspecting PAX were met with a stiff single digit wind chill and a redundant test of wills this morning.  A quick counter clockwise (Brother at Law tried to take it to the bus loop) mosey around the small loop and down to the pavilion to get the blood flowing.

YHC aka Ned Ryerson, Needle Nose Ned, Ned the Head, etc… explained to the PAX that today is Groundhog Day and that we would be paying homage to PunxsutawneyPhil’s annual temporary home for February 2nd, GOBLER’s KNOB.  To add to the drama, I staged a little trouble with the Bluetooth speaker to get started.

Lunch today (already happened)

MOLESKINE
I appreciate everyone’s willingness to jump in and embrace the glory that is Groundhog Day.  One of the best movies (films?) of all time to be sure.   Always good to lead…its been awhile since I’ve knocked out two in one week.  If you are reading this, stop what you are doing and go sign up to Q.   It’s what keeps this thing going.

 

War Eagles,
