Vulcan Run…..Part Deux

/ f3scam / Leave a comment

The maiden Vulcan Run on the 4th of July was such a success that Barney Fife suggested an encore performance to be documented for a resident film/photography group.  We kept these plans under wraps as YHC wanted to ensure a large group of PAX….

Fast forward to the gloom of The Vulcan (AO) at 0630hrs and numerous PAX (25 in all) answered the bell to break out of holiday mode.  YHC noted an increase in temperature and humidity from the 4th of July….amazing how much of a difference one hour later in the morning makes.  Time for PAIN….

THE THANG

SSH x 30

Squats x 30

Mountain Climbers x 20

LBCs x 30

Merkins x 30

YHC announces to the PAX that today we would re-summit Red Mountain to the Vulcan park.  Several groans arose from the PAX and continued to a crescendo when YHC added that this time we would be dividing into groups and “indian-running” the initial mountain ascent!  Nonetheless, count off, divide up and away we go!

Pain Station 1
Dive Bombers x 20

Flutter Kicks x 30

Pain Station 2

Decline Merkins x 30

Big Boy incline sit ups x 30

Pain Station 3

Close grip Merkins x 20

LBCs x 30

Pain Station 4

Curb Merkins x 30

Elevated Flutter Kicks x 40

 

Things getting tough at this point, as the last 1/4 mile of ascent is straight up to the peak of Red Mountain.  PAX are pushing through, leaving no one behind and flags are held high!  SUMMIT!  Camera crews are in position and Fife has his own toy, a drone, at the summit to capture the moment.

 

Summit Pain Station

Diamond Merkins x 20

Flutter Kicks x 40

Dive Bombers x 20

LBCs x 30

Merkin Plank waterfall

 

Back down the mountain….

Pain Station 5

Flutter Kicks x 30

Pain Station 6

Pain Station 7

Pain Station 8

Back at the AO now, all PAX accounted for and several really pushed themselves to get through this one today!  Proud of the effort!

Finished it off with a quick set of 15 Burpees and COT.  Men GOT BETTER today!

Welcome to the crew FNGs Whistle, Edge, and Terrier!

YHC,

July 6th Church Street Shakedown

/ dmurray92475 / Leave a comment

28 PAX showed up in THE GLOOM at THE VULCAN (AO) for YHC’s VQ, including five (5) FNGs.  Those answering the call included Turnbuckle, Shank, Scam, Choo-Choo, Cinco, DuBose, Schilling, Gomer, Rabbit, Romeo, Sparrow, Pickle, The Donald, Commy, Rebar, Wildfire, Gold Bond, Quickrete, Pew, Saluki, Tommy Lee, and Cocky.  FNGs (Doogie, Cowbell, Wilson, Wiregrass, & Skullbucket) were wide-eyed for the beatdown, but took the RedPill like a champ and stood tall in the end!  Wiregrass was looking for the Triathlon training group and found THE ANSWER at THE VULCAN.  Weinke was wielded and we’re off and RUNNING!

THE THANG

Warmups: side straddle hops x 30, squats x 30, merkins x 25, little baby crunches x 25, flutter kicks x 30, 1-mile indian run (2 lines) across creek and down “Church Street” past Trinity UMC to Dawson Baptist and back.

The Meat: All of the following done between 40 yard cones: lunge walk, frankensteins, wheelbarrow, station sprints with progressively declining number of burpees and squats at each station, starting with 10 and down to 1.  Big props to SCAM (in Chippendale) for encouraging the PAX to finish the job.  Mosey to stage.

At the Stage: Decline Merkins x 15, Dips x 15, Stepups x 20;  Rinse and repeat all three again.  The back to the SHOVELFLAG for 20 merkins.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:  Videography on Saturday, 7/8/17 (6:30am) for F3 Birmingham – need a big presence – might get your mug on The Show!

Word:  Group was encouraged to affirm someone today for something positive they are doing.  Encouragement is a great thing that can freely be given by leaders who aren’t afraid to lead!

Thanks to all men who posted today!

YHC, Hi-Viz
