All Harrisburg BackblastsJanuary 5th, 2018
8 Strong F3 Faithful threw some iron around this morning. Always looking for ways to keep the core strong and stable, YHC threw in a couple findings from the interwebs.

Thang: 4 Sets of exercises w/ final exercise focusing on core. Pass around the “stability ball” for stability ball mericans for one PAX at the end of each set.
SET 1 – Bent Leg Incline Press (aka Costanza) – Single arm x10, Overhead Triceps Extension x15, Bent over Row x15, V Hold w/ Bell 30 Sec
SET 2 – Merican w/ Side Row x10, Hammer Curl x15, One Arm Squat & Press x10, Mason Twist x10

SET 4 – Romanian Deadlift x10, Step back lunge w/ Bell hold in triceps ext position x10, Dutch Cucumbers x10, Ab Up w/ Press to Sky x10
Repeato… then end w/ 10 Burpee Thrusters

COT – @Helga took us out
Moleskine:
- Always an honor to lead. Thanks for the opportunity.
- Welcome out @RedCoat. Looking forward to seeing you regularly. Nice EH @SidVicious.
- >9 degrees = shorts for @Gamma
- The only way the stability ball could have been more stable is if it were still in the box
- Romanian Deadlifts = #AwkwardChallenge
- @Wexler may very well win the #IronPAX award this week… him, or that friend he was asking for last week…
- Side, side, #sad, note… confirmed by at least 3 PAX members (YHC included)… soreness was still felt as late as yesterday from the New Year’s Day 2.0 friendly football game. We have to 1) step up the intensity/variety at the workouts or 2) play more football

Great lead, Comrade! I had t go alternate leg on the Romanian Deadlifts, but still a challenge. Forcing us to use slow, controlled motions is definitely needed. The “stability” ball was a nice touch, even though it had as much air in it as @TeenSpirit’s blow-up weights…
@RedCoat – welcome to F3! Hope to see you out again soon.
Strong Lead @Clueless, enjoyed the mumble chatter. I liked the Ivan Drago themed work out ‘I must break you…’ @RedCoat welcome out, the first of many Posts leading up to your Spartan Race. You may see a few of us out there for a Spartan Race soon also.
Great lead Clueless !
I followed the Walmart suggestion and ordered a 25# kettle bell. $18ish + tax.
waffle irons are one of my now more favorite exercises.
And adding Burpee thrusters to the list of great exercises.
Now I feel better about being sore from Monday. #Play60
