Solid Fundamentals

AO: devilsden
Q: McAfee
PAX: Skeet
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
Conditions: well below freezing

Warm Up: Farmer’s Carry all the weights to the playground.

The Thang:

Simple, straightforward work; EMOM rounds of 45 seconds, PAX switching between active/dynamic movements and static/isometric exercises.

Round 1:
Weighted Merkins
People’s Chair

Round 2:
Kettlebell/Plate Swings
Plank

Round 3:
Squat Thrusters
Dip pause

After 2 cycles it was time to cool down with Farmer’s Carries and Rifle Carries to return the weights.

This Q was about fundamentals, about doing the basics frequently and with exceptional form. No matter what age, experience, or fitness level, PAX can always benefit from going back to the fundamentals.

As in the Q so in life; we will continue to persevere at Devil’s Den until, in God’s timing, the seed of F3 we’ve planted continues to grow and mature into a full fledged region. This is the way.

Devils and Coupons v0.2

AO: devilsden
Q: McAfee
PAX: Skeet, Flash, Linus
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
CONDITIONS: Easy and breezey 60s

WARMUP: set up our game pieces, aka Troll Bait, aka Coupons, with PAX getting loose OYO. Special shoutout to Flash for getting in 2 miles via a nice mosey from his house to the AO!

THE THANG: Devils and Coupons v0.2!
There is a nasty troll that lives under the bridge at Devil’s Den, he’s a very nasty troll; slothful, lazy, arrogant, jealous, impatient, unkind, and persistently attempting to bring HIM down to his level. It is the physical embodiment of what Rogan and Goggins refer to as one’s “inner b”, and it must be defeated, again, and again, and again, in perpetuity.

To defeat the troll, our intrepid band took turns rolling for advantage and to determine rep count.
Station 1 – Dips (natural 2x multiplier)
Station 2 – Troll Killers aka Man Makers
Station 3 – Pull Ups (Merkins for the rest of the PAX)
Station 4 – Coupon Shoulder Press

Each round we increased the multiplier from 1x, to 2x, to 3x, and made it to 4x before time. In total each PAX performed ~100 dips, ~75 merkins, ~40 pull-ups, plus man-makers and shoulder press. Safe to say the troll was defeated, as were our arms.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Chad Challenge at Misty Mountain on Friday!

Deck of Many Tears

Backblast: 11/16/22

Conditions: Cold, dark, gloomy…perfect for the Devil’s Den

Q: Reveille

Pax: Skeet, Mcafee, Rev

Disclaimer given after a short mosey to the light post followed by a quick warmup of Windmills, LBAC, T-Claps, Imperial Walkers, and SSH.

The Thang: Deck of Many Tears:

YHC has been dying to use his official F3 card deck for a while, and this was a perfect opportunity. We cut the deck into thirds and made 3 stations. Each Pax drew a card and completed the exercise indicated with the value shown (base value + 10, face cards = 25, Ace = 100). After all Pax complete their card, rotate stations. Rotate until all 3 stations are completed then follow up with a short recovery mosey. Rinse and Repeat until 6:10.

Recovery consisted of active stretching from the bottom up until time.

COT: No major announcements made. Focusing on EH-ing men here on the Far East side. Debating on whether or not we should hit up Pop’s for coffeeteria or begin providing our own.
