Running for Hakim
8 HIMs gathered in the chilly morning to get after it. My Department is doing a Miles of Remembrance for our fallen police officers. I lost two friends in the line of duty and today I dedicated the Q to Hakim Farthing. After a warm up to include Loveseat's favorite stretch, the finkle kick we [...]
Goodbye 2020 – Welcome 2021
Goodbye 2020 – WELCOME 2021 “2020 was like looking both ways before you cross the street then getting hit by an airplane”! Exhausting Lost Chaotic Surreal Emotional Words some have used to describe the YEAR 2020. Others may have found Hope, Strength, Encouragement, Love, Community, and Faith. Where ever you are lets all agree that [...]
Coliseum Gladiators
10 men gathered for the morning Q, start with a warm up of weed pickers, empirical walkers, and SSH. Mosey to bus lanes with columns and I divided the group into 2 teams. Each team got a foam block. There are 14 columns from either end to the center. Each team started on one end [...]
Boxing Day
Seven men gathered in the crisp 55 degree morning to get the blood pumping. After a easy warm up of weedpickers, finkle kicks, merkins, crunches, arm circles and a few laps around the parking lot we did the thang: Ten rounds of 1 minute shadow boxing, mixing jab/cross, hooks, upper cuts and flurries (really fast [...]
VQ B.O.M.B.S.
I was called upon to Q my first workout and gladly accepted. 12 PAX were in attendance in the gloom, including 1 FNG (Tea Party). Hopefully, most will agree that the title of this post isn't because I bombed my VQ, but the name of the workout. The thang: Warm Up - Little Baby Arm [...]
Comeback No. 8
It was a pleasant morning for a beatdown. 7 of us were there for the disclaimer, 25 SSH, 15 Burpees OYO, 10 sit-ups and 15 Jeff Imperial Walkers. We then moseyed over to the picnic tables and held plank and waited as Cowtipper conveniently showed up a few minutes late. I told him we would [...]
Mucho pain
For the second day in a row, three pax met in the gloom. I’m becoming convinced that skipping workouts is a really lame attempt for some pax to pad their starting weight before weigh in for the weight loss challenge. Their loss - we took the DRP and got after it this am. Shoutout to [...]
That Qwhich will not kill you…
I've been a little reluctant to get back out and work out since tweaking my back about 3 weeks ago, but have been missing the gloom with you guys, so I decided to Q my return to F3 so that I could have control of the motions and modify if need be. Here's the synopsis: [...]
