Toys at The Blender


FNG-1 = "Gray Hound", not registered on the website. 

12 Pax at The Blender on a hot and humid day.  Here is roughly what went down:

0500:  YHC ran a mile ish and set out 2 tires for use later.  Could not find sandbags, Cobains.

0530:

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Mosey around the parking lot, including Quadraphilia, high knees, and butt kickers
  • Press Jacks x 15 IC
  • Hand-release Mericans x 10 OYO
  • Soybean farmers x 10 IC
  • Hand-release Mericans x 10 OYO
  • IST x 10 IC

The “Toys on the AO” Thing:

Mosey with KBs to the pull-up bars for:

  • Pull-ups x 8 OYO followed by knee-ups x 12 OYO
  • Hand release Mericans x 10 OYO
  • Pull-ups x 6 OYO followed by knee-ups x 14 OYO

Get into 2 teams.  One big tire per team.

  • One person flips the tire 10 times (acting as the timer)
  • Other Pax perform KB swings and Hand release Mericans
  • Repeato until every Pax has flipped the tire, performed at least 25 Hand release Mericans, and at least 50 KB swings

Log work, grab 1 per team.

  • Two people carry the logs a ways and back
  • Other Pax plank
  • Repeato until every Pax has carried the log

Scrawny guy audible:  Quadraphilia up a hill and run back

Repeato on the tire work.

  • One person flips the tire 10 times (acting as the timer)
  • Other Pax perform KB swings and Hand release Mericans
  • Repeato until every Pax has flipped the tire, performed at least 25 Hand release Mericans, and at least 50 KB swings

Put away all the toys. Return KBs to start-ex.  Time for Mary.

Mary:

  • Man Maker Elbow plank x 10 IC
  • Crunchy frog x 10 IC
  • Low flutters x 25 IC
  • LBCs x 25 IC

Recover, recover.  According to Strava, we covered 1.09 miles.

Moleskin:

  1. Prayers up for our friend Carpet Bagger, hopefully resting from his procedure yesterday.  But there is a rumor he maybe showed up to Gladiator today.
  2. Good to meet Gray Hound today. 
  3. Good to see Bogey for the first time in a while.  Trimmer, but still strong.  Much of the mumble chatter today centered around Pax horror stories of Bogey workouts at The Blender.  Good times.
  4. Good to see Springfield for the second time in one week.   
  5. Toxic was his usual mumble-chattering self, but Over Budget wasn't having some of it!  They argued over whose Kettle Bell was bigger and maybe a few other things.  Toxic also claimed his "school shoes" got muddy, lol.
  6. Blame Bunyan for the hand-release Mericans.  Inspriation was his The Mighty Oak Q last Wednesday.
  7. Working out at GCC always reminds me of this horrible idea from Ramrod.  I still don't like you Sir.
  8. Slingshot, was this your first taste of The Blender?  If so, thoughts?  Huge campus and lots of toys.
  9. Ultraman is a runner like YHC, but his kettle bell is heavier for sure.  Nice work today.
  10. Flo, thank you for the opportunity to lead today.  And Scrappy kindly took the Q for next week.  Thanks Scrap!

Appreciate you gents.  This was not a Bogey level beatdown I'll admit, but hopefully everyone got a bit of a sweat.  Always a pleasure to lace them up with the men of F3.
