YHC arrive at the 007 brightly lit up or Slidell Bayou Christmas!
Yhc was the only one that showed, so he took advantage to get a beatdown while looking at the Christmas lights!
Yhc warmed up with a mosey around the circle followed by some sprinst through the lighted Christmas tunnel. A few rounds Jack Webb and some more moseying’
Papa Noel will be there Monday the 23rd!
The cool front came in and 4 HIMs took the red pill this morning. Steve had to drop out, so YHC took the Q. Which included some warm-ups, then we took off and ran the usual loop. The other 3 took one more lap around the subdivision, and I went straight back to head to work. Movie night at Wacker’s house tonight! SYITG
Me and the 10k this gloom. YHC thought Whacker had the Q but was a week off. Since Jose had a ruck on, I grabbed mine and we rucked down Lamarque to the Lakefront, to Girard – stopping at Rips for 5 calf raises on the stairs, back to Livingston.
4 corners on the court: Merkins, Freak Nasty, Squats, Shoulder Taps
Count, name, done.
SYITG! Akbar
7 showed up on a gorgeous morning to run the streets of Covington to celebrate Barely Legals birthday!
A robust group assembled Saturday morning for some friendly strife on the Northshore Flickerball Field and a bit of personal challenge. The group began the work-out by competing in an abbreviated IronPAX 2022 Challenge, CARE BEAR SQUARED. Each competitor completed several iterations of a 100-yard course, with sets of 25 air squats, merkins, big boy sit-ups, and burpees interspersed by different forms of the bear crawl. Most hit the intended mark of 250 reps or 2.5 total iterations in the 20 minutes allotted.
With the warm-up complete, we turned to the main event, Youth versus Beauty (Seniors) in a 25-minute game of flickerball. As expected, the Seniors built momentum early and took the lead as Zoolander whizzed one into the narrow goal. The game remained 1 to nil despite constant attacks by the Seniors, with the Youth’s star defended, Dukes of Hazzard, devoting his body multiple times to the ensure a solid defense! Dukes’ dedication sparked several inspired runs by the Youth, capped off three times by the unstoppable Brexit. With the score flipped in the Youths favor and time winding down, the Seniors launched multiple attacks to no avail. The game ended dramatically with a ball in the Lake drifting towards New Orleans. Bushwacker, aka WaterBoy-Aquaman, bravely entered the ice-cold, gator infested waters to retrieve the ball and commit to a re-match against the Youth one day. Prayer and coffee followed.

Let me tell you about this morning’s workout from the perspective of Jose10k, who, mind you, wasn’t leading but set a personal goal with paxminer. The only way to achieve the goal is to get credit for the workout.
First off, Jose10k, being the overachiever he is, strapped on a 25-pound ruck sack and decided to play Man vs. Mandeville before we even started. He ran through the downtown streets, up and down the Trailhead, and even made the stairs his personal Everest—for 40 minutes. This man was on a mission to redefine cardio. My backblast, my own personal compliments.
Then Russo, the designated leader (but clearly not the main character), took over. He started with a warmup—nothing too fancy, just enough to make us wonder if Jose had extra oxygen tanks in that ruck sack. Afterward, we moseyed to the well-lit arches on the trail, probably so Russo could see the look of regret in our eyes as he introduced 11s: shoulder-tap plank jacks and merkins. Shooter made light work of the situation. Performing each exercise with perfect form and precision. He thoughts of the buck he’s been seeing on his deer cameras. His focus was on bagging this deer, and the pavement felt his wrath.
Here’s the kicker: to get from one end to the other, we lunge-walked. Yes, lunge-walked, like we were auditioning for a low-budget version of the nutcracker. Then we backpedaled to the start, because apparently walking forward wasn’t hardcore enough. To top it off, we had to slalom the entire Trailhead back. By “slalom,” I mean weaving like we were training for the Winter Olympics, except instead of snow, it was pavement, sweat, and a faint sense of dread.
Russo’s idea of “rinse and repeat” wasn’t so much about refreshing us as it was about turning our legs into spaghetti. Meanwhile, Jose10k cruised through it all with the casual intensity of a man who already ran a marathon before breakfast. Shooter set the pace, while we chased after him as fast as we could. Plus, as per the norm, Jose had to duck out early to educate the future leaders of tomorrow. As I heard through the grapevine, Shooter crushed the remaining 11s, and God help that Buck try to survive Shooter’s pursuit.
In summary: Russo led the workout, but Jose10k was the workout.
3 HIM in the early gloom on a dreary morning. After the Lakefront Massacre of Waterpik calling a pass the Q – each man put his best (or worse) beatdown in: Jose 10k’s 200 individual squat Dora, Zoo’s Bear Crawl on the Breakers, Birds leg burner and other downpainments. YCH arrived with a full body ladder and we were done with it on the 2nd block. But we prevailed.
Warm up: Grass Grabbers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Arm Circles, Self Love, and Shoulder tabs.
Mosey to the playground for 3 sets of 10 pull ups and 15 SSH.
Ladder up and down on 4 corners: 5, 10, 15, 20 of Tempo Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Stone Mountains, and Copperhead Squats
Take a breather at the court, then to the tables for Freak Nasty, Bulgarians, Supermans
Mary and plank to the end.
Appreciate the post! SYITG,
Akbar
