Heavy Day Battle for the Ghost Flag at the Equalizer

THE SCENE: Gloomy, but not too humid
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Done and done 
WARM-O-RAMA:
Basic Blindside-y warmup things: SSH, LBAC each way, This, That, tempo squats
THA-THANG:
Sometimes things change. Because it was a heavy day, the Q was expecting a lower number in attendance. What he forgot was that the Ghost Flag was in attendance… so we had visitors.

Quick Mosey to Picnic Table near the Tennis Courts and partner up. Each group will draw a card from the deck, multiply the number of the card by 10 (all face cards are “10” and Aces are “15). Each group is in charge of completing that number of reps of each exercise represented by card suit. Jokers are automatically 25 squats with either the 40# or 60# sandbag on shoulders.

  • Spades: Lunges and Imperial Squat Walkers
  • Clubs: Merkins and 2 count Shoulder Taps
  • Diamonds: BBS and American Hammers
  • Hearts: Flutter Kicks and Hello Dollys

After all the cards were taken, each group were asked to “give up” their highest, lowest, and one other card of their choosing back to the pile.

Once time was called, all of the Shamrock & Asylum PM combined their cards into piles and played a game of WAR. After one round, Shamrock ended with 23 cards and Asylum PM ended with 6. Each group did that # of burpees. Equalizer guys joined in to help.

Asylum PM grabbed the Ghost Flag having 5 guys at the workout!

MARY:

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

The Impossible Mile

Shamrock 7/14/2023
See picture above
THE SCENE: 80 degrees at 0530 with humidity around 96%, some would call it terrible
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
3 very slow cherry pickers
SSH to around 15
THA-THANG:
The workout was simple, but due to the Ghostflag, we had two well represented groups from Juco & F3 Smokies vying to take it home.  We chose to host a competition, and the first group with 3 to finish the workout below took home the flag.
The workout was as follows:
The Impossible Mile
400 M Run
100 Merkins
400 M Run
100 Squats
400 M Run
100 BURPEES
400 M Run

Following that sweat fest, we moved over to the Jesus statue and found a battle buddy.  One partner held a wall squat while the other partner did 50 dips.  After both partners completed the exercises, we switched one partner held a balls to the wall while the other partner did 50 step ups.  Once both partners completed both exercises, we moseyed back to the flag for a Mary.

MARY:
The Mary was very popular today.
10 snow angels in cadence followed by 10 merkins
20 Flutters in cadence followed by 10 merkins
13 Shoulder taps in cadence followed by 10 merkins
finally 7 more burpees
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today we talked about the Golden rule and simply treating others the way that we want to be treated.  Especially making a hard workout for those trying to steal the Ghost Flag because I expect a hard workout if I want to steal it back!!

Shamrock Gymstacle

THE SCENE: Beautiful summer morning! Low 60’s. Perfect!

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Yes
WARM-O-RAMA: 
Yoga style! Deep arm stretch, runners pose, downward dog, cobra etc..
THA-THANG:
Shamrock “gymstacle” – a hybrid of a gym and an obstacle course. The soundtrack for the beat down has a “wild artist” (same principle as a wild card). Every song of a “wild artist” doubles the amount of reps for everyone! Today’s “wild artist” – Justin Bieber!  The workout: 30 twinkle toes with CMU’s; Pull ups; Merkins, American Hammers with a heavy ball; Jumping rope; Bench press; Heavy pants; Truck climb; Hand-Elbow plank; Side jumps; Lawnmowers with 60lbs dumbbell; Dumbbell squats. Repeat!

MARY:
No time
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 men! Anchorman, Base Salary, Betty, Le Bling, Mermaid, Oscar Meyer, Rubber Duckie, Skid Mark, Slappy, Voo Doo, Tailhook and a FNG – Jar Jar!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
For most of us helping others is a natural tendency. However, there are situations when it is better to let someone finish his or her task without interfering by offering help. Because it might be important for this person to complete his or her task without any assistance.
