Pile of Sweat

Little soupy out there this morning, little soupy. Four Bruisers joined the Bounty Hunters for the Pledge, then headed to the corner of the skate park with our kettle bell coupons. Warm-Up Circle up for imperial walkers, Sir Fazios, squats, merkins and mountain climbers. The Thang Start at the light pole on the corner, each PAX takes a turn calling the exercise of his choice, then continue around the skate park stopping at each light pole for more exercises.

Starting off LABOR DAY weekend

LABOR DAY weekend … the official end of summer. Most kids are back in school and the days are turning cooler, a little. There was plenty of heat at AO Phoenix for starting off the LABOR DAY weekend right. Yogi had locked in the Q at Phoenix for today, but he handed it off to YHC during the week. I wanted to EH a HIM to co-Q, so new guys will keep stepping up and Q’ing. [Read More]

BO BRR & Bruisers

5 for Meow Mile 5 for Bruisers led by Disco Duck and WWW after he went back home to get his shoes. 15 for some BRR prep. 1-minute warning, Attn Pax: Disco and WWW are leading a no-run injured reserve option at 5:45, YHC is leading the BO workout that will include a bit of running. You need to make a decision right now.

Get Off My Lawn

Because it’s was my birthday Q and I’m old and that’s what PBX tells me I sound like. Anyways, arrived early to scout out the AO to find about 15 HIM already working the ECP. By 5:30 21 PAX were ready to go and Crimson had already started complaining. He knew what was to come. Warm Up • Good Mornings x 10 • SSH x 53 Thang 1 Split into 5 groups. [Read More]

11 x 2 = 22

Second Q ever for YHC was to the point with some room for improvement. Cadence counts are getting better and everyone had fun… I think. It was quiet, not much in the way of mumble chatter for this beatdown. Thanks to the 18 that showed for the track work and 22’s. It was a beatdown and according to GTL possibly a new record for distance with the 3.5 miles we racked up. [Read More]

KB Beatdown

My first Q for Hells Bells. Focus was on HIIT with brief rest intervals. I may have rigged the timer to make the 20 seconds longer and the 10 second rest shorter. Warm up Mosey around trail to pull up bars for 5x Circle up and do Side Straddle Hop, Imperial walkers, Homer to Marge, 5 Burpees OYO, KB Halos, Runners Stretch and deep squat holds w/ KB Thang 1 [Read More]

#ao-travel-ir-Bruisers Rising at Phoenix

Three PAX for a Bruisers IR workout during Phoenix. The Phoenix PAX run off with Build-A-Bear, the Bruisers grab coupons and get to bruisin'. Warm-Up Circle up for imperial walkers and Sir Fazios, squats, hillbillies. Navin shows up a little late, but a little late is still late, so ten burpees OYO. The Thang Form two groups in front of the senior center, group 1 bear crawls to the entrance and back while group 2 does AMRAP curls, flapjack. [Read More]

Same Same, But Different

A lovely morning for a workout! We have been truly blessed the last three days with some fabulous weather!!! Roughly 60 degrees this morning, with pretty high humidity. The preblast indicated this would not be a Blue Ridge Relay training workout and while there WOULD be running, it would not be a run-centric workout. Turns out, we still managed a little over three miles…… Bayonne, Biner, PBX, and I met for some EC hill repeats at 5:45 and ran a little over 30 minutes on the High House hill, joined about 3/4 into the run by Snots and Chipper.

Advertising works!

YHC has been out of Carpex for the past few days exploring F3 out west in St. Louis and was really looking forward to being back home. Since there isn’t much to do outside of work when traveling YHC was advertising the upcoming beat down all week on slack. And let’s just say that the adverting brought out the numbers - 32 PAX joined my in south Carpex on this fine Friday morning. [Read More]

What Time is It?

Given the significance of the concept of a Sad Clown in the F3 universe, one could think the name Flying Circus to be a bit, well, curious. Given the madness that went down at this AO on Thursday, August 23, 2018, I think the name fits. 18 HIM pledged their allegiance to the flag, and then moseyed to the basketball courts. Warm Up Good Mornings, nice and slow 2 x FNGs show up 10 Burpees OYO Hill Billies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson arms: Circles front and backwards like Sir Fazio, except one arm at a time. [Read More]
