A Cluster F of a Backblast
Log Boom Park 6/8/2018
PAX: FNG Topknot, 5th Wheel, Guero, Dry Dock, SPAM, 529, Narwhal, Seabass, LaFleur, Hurley, Worthington, Dunder and Mifflin, FSBO, Magic, 7-Layer, Olaf, Salsa and MASH
Q: Gekko
The Brute Bag made its maiden voyage at Log Boom Park today. Moving forward the Brute Bag will be known as Steve-O (long story/you had to be there).
Here comes the cluster F part of this Backblast…..there was constant motion and switching of teams and pairs = pretty hard to capture everything without the help of a courtroom stenographer.
See some late PAX straggling in = punctual PAX immediately begin to job in a direction away from the stragglers, and then retreat back to home base.
CoP: SSH, mountain climbers and merkins.
Introduce the Brute Bag, and the overall layout for the workout was this: 1 PAX does 10 reps on the Brute Bag, 2 PAX do an AMRAP exercise, and 1 PAX does AMRAP exercise. Rotate through your group while the rest of the group runs an out and back.
Brute Bag exercises: bent over lateral rows, bear hug squats, hip extension squat thrusters, curls, bear crawl pushes.
Exercises for other team members: sumo squats, merkins, diamond merkins, flutters and squats.
Entire PAX: line up shoulder to shoulder and hold a squat. Pass the bag from one end to the other, and once you pass it you complete 5 burpees.
Partner up: P1 does ab exercises hanging off of the wall while P2 holds feet. Flapjack x 3
3MoM: circle up and begin doing 4-count flutters while the bag gets passed around the entire circle. 72 reps
Announcements
*Normal Saturday workout schedule for 6/9: Bellevue, KiMS, Heritage Park, Gas Works at Point Defiance at 7AM.
*6/16 at 9AM: 2.0 (kids) workout – boys and girls welcome. 2.0 workouts are really for your M (wife!). Get the hooligans out of the house and tire them out! (Blatant self-interest: the more you do this = the more guilt-free F3 workouts you get to hit IMHO.)
*6/22-24: Worthington Weekend Family Extravaganza in Richland
*6/30: Base 2 Space up the Space Needle. Talk to Grissom for more details.
*10/19: GoRuck Custom Tough event for just our F3 group. Sounding like you will want to be one of the first 35 PAX to pay for this…..talk to Buckeye.
WoW: Have an environment where you feel safe saying, “Taddah! Look at how awesome I have been….” F3 can be that group for you. Looking around our CoT you see numerous success stories on the physical fitness/health/weight loss side of things, and you also see guys who have made impressive strides in a short period of time on family, relationships and personal development. At home encourage your kids and spouse/SO to feel safe to step up and own their success. Many in our society are eager to step up and own failures, but attribute success to “luck” – MAKE them own their success and know that they have a safe place to own (~almost brag!) their recent wins.
Other “noise”:
*Salsa estimating that the Brute Bag/Steve-O weighs in at only 40 lbs makes me think that his internal scale is off…….or I am much weaker than I think…..
*Some planking was done on our finger tips (AKA – PYS for your fingers. Cue Hollywood saying, “It must be easy…..cuz it’s only exercising your fingers.”)
*Guero shot out of the cannon on the first running legs in the parking lot!
*YES – 72 flutter kicks was the last exercise. Some guys (LAFLEUR!!!) did not seem to want to pass the Brute Bag.
*Dunder and Mifflin said that the partner ab work we did should now be called “Brokeback”…..
Go DOMINATE today!!!!
