Mosey to the bottom of the Cochran hill, some of us more speedily than others. Simple. Each PAX must mosey to the top of Cochran and back 3x as well as perform 200 reps of each exercise: Merkins, Squats, Big Boy situps. Exercises could be broken up as desired. If you finished early head to the playground and perform the following until all PAX were in: 5x Pull-ups, 10x CDDs, 15x Rows, 20x Dips.

Great to have Rooms-2-Go back in the fold, if only for a day. There’s a chance that he may be moving back to town next summer. We anxiously await confirmation. Black Lung’s standard practice of rolling up 5 minutes late finally backfired on him. We were not in a regularly visited part of Sir E, so he spent almost the entire 45 minutes scouring the grounds for the PAX. He found us with about 5 minutes to spare. Big Stick had to take care of some business midway through the workout. I wouldn’t recommend picking up a pair of socks if you happen to come across them in the woods near Sir E.

PAX instructed to count off 1-2 for partner-work. Before the partner work, though, we did a quick round of Bring Sally Up… always a PAX pleaser.

Head over to the playground and with your partner do 4x rounds of the following:

• 5x Pullups (legitimate, lock-out)
• 15x Merkin variation (Regular, Irkins [on planking partner], Dirkins [on planking partner], Hand Clap)
• 15x Rows (partner holds your legs)
• 20x Dips

7’s on the playground hill. Start with 6x Hydraulic Squats at the bottom and 1x Jump Lunge at the top. Backpedal up the hill. With our quads burning we did some quick ab-work. Partner 1 run the loop around the church while partner 2 performs AMRAP LBCs. Switch.

Mosey to the start, with just enough time for Peaches by Presidents of the USA. Perform a Merkin on each “Peach” or “Peaches”.

21 Pax showed up for a refresher course on Basic Life Support. We started with a mosey up to the house for some warm-o-rama.

WOR: SSH, Squats, Windmills, Baby arm circles, seal claps, overhead press

Thang:

PAX partnered up as live support is a team effort. Seeing as we have had a PAX brought to medical attention recently, it seemed fitting that we should all have some idea of what to do in a medical emergency.  The first step in any emergency situation is to assess the scene for safety so we took a mosey to the bottom of the loop to assess for any signs of danger.

Next, it’s time to see if the victim has a pulse and/or is breathing on their own.

-10 second pulse/respiration check = 10 Burpees

No pulse. Activate the emergency response system and get an automatic external defibrillator (AED). Start compressions at 100 beats per minute 

-1 PAX ran the long speedbump loop back to the stables to get the AED, while the other did 100 merkins (50 Derkins with feet on the chains, 50 Irkins with hands on the chains).  Flapjack.

After the second rescuer returns, it’s time to start 2 rescuer CPR. For this we took a mosey to the playground.  2 Rescuers can give compressions and breaths at a rate of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.   Time for some PUMPS.

Pullups 30 – Windsprints 2

Up-Downs 30 – Windsprints 2

Merkins 30 – Windsprints 2

Plankjacks 30 – Windsprints 2

Squats 30 – Windsprints 2

Five rounds of 30:2 at 100 beats per minute is about 2 minutes.  At this point, it’s time for another pulse check. Since we have an AED we can let it assess if a shock is needed.   

10 second pulse check = 10 burpees

The AED says it’s time to shock, gotta charge to 200J.

100 flutter kicks and 100 LBCs per PAX to charge to 200.

Shock delivered pulse returned.  We can no deliver rescue breaths if needed until EMS arrives.  Mosey to the parking lot.

Mary: Flutter kicks, Box Cutter’s, J-Lo’s x15 each.

Mumblechatter: “What is the difference between a Burpee and an Up-Down?!”

Welcome to new PAX Prevacid and Goose. Glad to have you guys out!

18…er… 17 posted at Sir E this morning for some targeted muscle group work. Funyuns left to dutifully perform his coffee duties for his bride. We missed him out there. It was a chilly 31-degree April morning.

YHC dispensed with the disclaimer before we knocked out a quick 10 merks and proceeded with our warmup mosey around the church before convening in the lower parking lot for some WoR.

The PAX couldn’t stand any more warmup so we moseyed to the playground to start the festivities.

THANG

On the playground, 3 sets of:

10x Pullups
15x various Merkins (Diamond, Derkin, Hand Release)
20x Dips
20x Inverted Rows

Once we were all in we moseyed over to the entrance of Ellington for a first-time Sir E surprise. Complements of Prevac we did some arm work (BICEPS!!) on the chains between the brick columns along the walking path. Everyone had their own stall and we (most of us, anyway) started with 3 sets of: 30x single arm bicep curls, 30x single arm upright rows. It became abundantly clear to me that my short reconnaissance of the chains and the few reps I threw up as a test did not do full justice to the weight of the chains. 30x became 20x for the second and third set. PA demonstrated textbook form, the rest of the PAX, not so much, but we still got good work in.

For the last portion we headed over to the steep hill overlooking the gazebo for some leg-work via 7s on the hill. This was a real PAX-pleaser. The exercises were Tuck Jumps at the bottom and Hydraulic Squats at the top. PAX were instructed to reverse mosey up the hill and regular mosey down the hill. It became apparent quickly that quads would take the brunt of this portion. Many reverse moseys turned into slow/intentional reverse hill walks.

Time was drawing to a close. We took the longish loop home around the main Ag Center loop, and returned to the CUMC parking lot in time for about 80 seconds of low plank action.

MS

Great to have PA out in the gloom with us at Sir E! It was a reminder to me that I’m overdue for a visit with our west Nash F3 brethren. Welcome to FNG Bug’s Life (Marshall Alexander)! He’s a friend of Big Sticks, which everyone expressed condolences about, but besides that he’s an allright dude. Hopefully he makes it back out again soon. BV tried to cut corners again. Classic! It was fun to mix in something new at Sir E today. I really enjoyed it out there!

BH

We continued to pray for Spicoli, Olan Mill’s dad and El Maestro.

The Q calendar is wide open gents! If you want to co-Q just let me know. I’m always up for it.

Finally, the F3Nashville shirt order is live until 4/24. Get those orders in! Check Slack for deets.

Peace!

30 PAX sacked up for this morning’s festivities. As we were coming out cold, we started with a quick mosey up the hill to get the juices flowing. Once we made it to the house it was time to circle up for the warm-up.

Warm-Up

B – Burpees x10 OYO

I – Imperial walkers x10

G – Good Mornings x10

 

B – Butt Kickers x20

R – Reverse arm circles x 15

A – Arm circles forwards x15

S – Seal Claps x 15

S – SSH x 20

Thang:  BALLS

As they usually hang in pairs, the PAX partnered up with like-sized partners. Mumblechatter began immediately as they knew what they were in for. Though hanging close together can keep you warm on a cold morning, groans about knees and backs began before the exercises even started.

We began with a buddy carry around the back loop. Partners changed at each speed bump to spread the work around.

Every ODD numbered speedbump (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), the PAX performed the following exercises and swapped partners for the next buddy carry:

B – Burpees x10

A – Atomic Merkins x20

L – LBCs x30

L – Lt. Dans x20

S – Scorpion Dry Docks x10

For every EVEN numbered speedbump:  5 Burpees and swap partners.

A few pairs were swaying back and forth as they made the run. It started off easy with a slightly downhill trot, but became increasingly harder towards the end as we headed back uphill. Upon returning to the house, it was reverse snow angels for the 6.

A second loop was planned, but we were beginning to sag and time was short. With the pairs now sweaty and warm, it was time to air it out with a mosey back to the parking lot where the PAX circled up for some workout themed music.

AC/DC: Big Balls – Merkin for every time you hear “ball” and Burpees for every “biggest balls of all”

Mumblechatter was overheard “this song must have been written by an 11 year old boy” and giggling was rampant.

Running short on time, we cooled down with a short Mary: Flutter Kicks: x25, J-Los: x15

COT

Moleskine:

Thanks to everyone today for coming for my VQ. I enjoyed the enthusiasm and effort that went into the workout as a group.

YHC decided to drive his car off the small cliff at Ellington on the way in while trying to avoid hitting a deer. Thanks to Edible Arrangements and Karamazov for doing the extra work of pushing my car back up the hill. Big balls and big hearts.

Bullhorn:

Bagger mentioned there may still be spots for the Biscuit Run, a half-marathon from Franklin to Loveless Café.  Hit him up on Slack if you want to run.
