Dissecting The Chicken Foot
All All MECA BackblastsNovember 21st, 2016
9 men charged the sub freezing gloom at Skywalker this morning. After the warm up, we moseyed down towards the Chickenfoot. I hadn’t told anyone what we were doing yet, but Skipper sniffed it and called out a reminder that we had 2 FNG’s with us this morning. I apologised in advance to them.
Typically the Chickenfoot is an AYG workout that goes until the buzzer sounds. One of the hardest workouts ever devised in F3. @Grinder mustve been really mad when he came up with this one….
So I wanted to see if I could change it up a little, not to make it harder, but to allow max effort everytime you ran up a hill.
The Thang;
Partner up
Partner 1 runs 1 leg of the Chickenfoot
Partner 2 does 10 merkins, 10 squats, 10 WWII situps, 10 Reverse crunch, repeat until partner is back
Switch with partner and progress through as many legs as possible.
Note: YHC mentioned that this is a speed workout and that rest is just as important in a speed workout as the running. So if you needed tosimply rest when not running, that was OK. As long as you pushed your limits when running.
We got in 5 toes each. so each partnership got 3.3 laps in of the foot. Not bad gents!
We moseyed back up and did some stretching.
The freezing moleskin;
1. Welcome to newly named Hot Corners and The Thing! Sorry you had to start out on the Chickenfoot! You both crushed it!
2. Great work by all! It was hard just to breathe in the cold this morning, but you all went at it!
3. Looking for a race? Ask the Farm

I forgot how much that sucks. However, it’s not as bad as it would be doing it alone. Thanks for the push men! Welcome to The Thing and Hot Corner.
9 men on a cold Monday gloom is pretty good. Nice work men. Running really isn’t my thing so I opted for the nice warm Skywalker gym.
Not sure who named FNG Steve on his 1st post, but that is going to be VETOED. Name happens on 2nd post! And the recruiter, as long as he’s there, has lead on the name.
Read Freed To Lead – naming happens in the first post. And if you don’t post when your FNG does, especially on sub 32 degree morning…….well……shame on you 😉
@Dingo. You are correct, that Freed To Lead states that the naming happens on the first post. I’m not the most seasoned of the PAX, so this was news to me, and I apologize for coming at you strong in my original post. From what I understand, most of our region has adopted the 2nd post naming style. I know this is how Skywalker, Rolling Stone, & Highlands operate.
The recruiter(Kool-Aid)is a little banged up from doing a double post on Saturday. Kool-Aid is of the #respect age group, and he has been working on this FNG for a while. He VERY diligently, every opportunity he gets, recruits for F3 and this is one of first guys he has been able to bring in. At least in Skywalker.
I understand that Tradition operates on 1st post naming. If you want to stick with the name that you assigned as the Q, then that’s your call and I respect that. But, if you would be willing to relegate that responsibility to Kool-Aid, I would be VERY grateful. I know Kool-Aid would be excited to see something grow from the seeds he has planted.
Thanks Brother!
It all good bro. We were having a good laugh. Not sure anyone will be upset if you change his name.
We all do things differently, that’s what makes F3 great! But if I see a dude without a name, he’s getting one ASAP!! 😉
Dingo…Thx Brother!
If you see a dude without a name Dingo…unleash the Wild Dingo on him brother!
AYE!
F3 has no walls…so how is it possible that Skywalker has a gym?!
@TheFarm…as aforementioned, I’m not the most seasoned of the PAX. So forgive me, but I’m not following your comment. Could you please explain?
Hey Tugboat, The Farm is referring to one of the requirements for a workout to be an F3 workout, is that it is held outdoors. If its indoors, officially it is not an F3 workout. The saying goes – No walls to hang stupid rules on
Thx Dingo. Sounds like I have a book to read! 😉
My typical Monday workout, not post, is at the Skybrook gym. Most of us Skywalkers refer to it as the, Skywalker Gym. And like you said Dingo. One of the great things about F3 is that, “we all do things differently”.
Dingo, I look forward to locking shields with you, TheFarm, & Skipper in the near future.

Impressive to have 2 FNGs on the coldest day of the season! But for all u men skeered of the cold, it only takes a few minutes to warm up fast (at least with a good Q, like @Dingo).
