Stairway to Heaving

CONDITIONS

Nice and warm at ~50 degrees….the calm before the storm (get your bread and milk now). YHC and his new best friend “Log” arrived to find Shakespeare and Lunchlady already stretching and ready for action. It was clear that after a few nights of the “wolf moon” these Silver Foxes of Foxhole were rabid for a good beatdown.

WARM UP

A quick disclaimer and we (and Log) got right into the action. After each exercise a different PAX would Cusack/STH the log while the others moseyed a half lap around the parking lot.

THE THANG

On the way to The Thang, we dug deep into the F3 exicon and pulled out a fan favorite….the Dirty Hookup.

After some lamenting about college days gone by and YHC’s google search history, we did 10 reps IC of Dirty Hookups.

Face a wall in the plank position, right hand on the wall, left hand on the wall, right hand down, left hand down back to the plank position. Rinse and repeat. Harder than it sounds.

From there we moseyed to the bottom of the hill and the famous (infamous) Foxhole stairs (I swear they added another flight or two since YHC was last here). 

We partnered up as below with one partner exercising while the other ran up and down the stairs, then flap jack until the rep total was reached.

  • Queenie/Shakespeare
  • Lunchlady/Pol Worker
  • Joanna/YHC

…..and the exercises were as follows:

  • 25 Burpees/Stair Run
  • 60 Merkins/Stair Run
  • 100 Big Boys/Stair Run

We took a brief interlude to do a mosey around the track and grab some blocks for some more stairway work. 

From there we did:

  • 100 Curls/Stair Run
  • 100 Overheads/Stair Run
  • 200 Rows/Stair Run

Nearing time we put the blocks away and did a little round robin for Mary:

  • 10 Freddie Mercurys IC (FG)
  • 5 Absolutions (high plank, low plank, plank jack, rinse and repeat) (Pol Worker)
  • 20 Russian Twists (Shakespeare)

Time up, COT, BOM, Devo

MOLESKIN

Some say that variety is the spice of life. Those sorts of people obviously never spent their summers during college working in the spice mines.

That said, it IS good to get out and hang with your brothers from another mother (and AOs). This was my first non-Depot Q in a while and I hope to do more of that in 2022. I was grateful to share a few laughs and lots of sweat with the #HIM of Foxhole this AM. I’m reminded on days like this of how lucky we are to be connected to a great group of guys through F3. Drop in at a different AO every now and again and share the love.

TClaps to Queenie for the awesome Devo to wrap things up at the COT.

TClaps to Joanna for carrying our team today.

TClaps to Shakespeare for his moves in the post this upcoming Saturday.

TClaps to Lunchlady for letting me borrow some of his trophies so I can flex.

TClaps to Pol Worker for inviting me (and probably you dear reader) to help out on the Goggins Challenge coming up in March (Stay tuned).

TClaps to Log for keeping me warm when the novelty of your existence at workouts wears off.
