  • Imitation is the Sincerest Form – from Jose10k

    They say mimicry is the highest form of flattery—so after Steve’s BLIMPS beatdown, I brought that same fire to the seasoned crew at The Gipper.

    We kicked things off with a fast-paced warm-up, then hit the streets:
    • Ran toward the courthouse with karaoke halfway, switching sides, then backpedaled each block—capped with 20 squats.
    • Rinse and repeat: karaoke, reverse, backpedal, 20 squats.

    Then came the main event:
    • 5 burpees at the bottom, run up the garage, down the stairs, sprint across.
    • Then: 5 burpees, 10 lunges, 15 imperial walkers, 20 merkins, 25 plank jacks, 30 squats.

    For the finale, we hit 30 squats at every level on the way down, one last round at the courthouse, and a final series of karaoke, reverse, and backpedal all the way back to the flag.

    Moby closed us out with a heartfelt prayer—for Steve and his grandfather’s funeral, for Coachella’s job search, and for Einstein’s son at his conference.

    Honored to lead. Respect to the men who showed up and pushed. One thing though: still no Mandevillians in Covington again. I guess I should log a formal complaint with the Wacker!

  • Repeat 52 Get-Up at The Gipper – from Einstein

    Rainy morning, at The Gipper, and hard to find any dry spots.

    WARMUP: all IC15x; toe touch, side staddle hops, snap-crackle-pops,
    shoulder rolls, etc.

    THANG: Deck of Doom – each player chooses the exercise when their suit is drawn.
    with the usual rule; everyone has to get up off their six
    between card draws – hence the 52 get-ups.

    Diamonds – BBQ
    Clubs – Mobydick (with any more weight loss, Moby will have to be renamed to Flipper)
    Spades – Einstein
    Hearts – Barely Legal

    Joker – bear crawl, sprint with back peddle

    Mary: no time

    BBQ prayed us out

  • Who signed up to Queue? Que? Quis? – from Einstein

    Decent weather at The Gipper this morning ~ 70 degrees

    Round Robin had the queue today and today’s workout ended up being
    one continuous Warm-Up. Interspersed with moseys from The Gipper, to the Taj Mahal,
    to the Justice Center, and back to The Gipper.

    We, as in, Moby Dick, Einstein, Barely Legal, & DarkWingDuck all worked up a sweat.

    Barely Legal prayed us out.

  • 75 Is the New 20 OR 4 Is More, But Ocho Is Great – from Bushwacker

    15 minutes early, YHC was greeted by a chilly last respite from what we down south all know is coming, as well as the remnants of the full moon 4 days back. Since Jose was likely at that moment sleeping the sleep of the over-imbibed and sexually satiated, and not pre-thanging the lonely streets of downtown Covington, the maroon-hooded miscreant moseyed a preview of the route along which the beatdown would lead. Upon returning, Wacker may have made his Cuz slightly uneasy calling out some sort of nonsense from afar without properly identifying himself. Legal had also arrived to greet the gloom. And when Moby approached from YHC’s 6, the sudden recognition of the hoodie caused a cuss to escape his lips, knowing he had already passed the point of no return.

    WARMORAMA

    IC x10:
    SSH, Cherry Pickers, IWs, (When what to Wacker’s wondering eyes should appear, but a grey pick up truck and Ocho wandering near!) Torso Twists, Butt Kicks, Windmills, Dancing Bears, Scorpion Kicks

    THANG

    Mosied to the flag pole at the School Board where we circled up and did x 100;
    AL Gore/JumpSquats
    Plank/Merkins
    Up/Downs (Tenacious as hell and giving everything he had, Moby was slow to get down and even slower to get up)

    Mosied to the Court House where , in similar fashion Freak Nasty Up/Downs (think plank/Merkin except a Freak Nasty) x100
    Next PAX do continuous Step Ups as each man runs to the stairs, Bunny Hops up, then returns in a Sprint. Finally, alternating as needed between lunges and squats while each man runs to the ramp, Bear Crawls up and runs back. At this point you may have expected Moby to be gasping his last, but check yourself, Boyo, because this Diamond-Studded Septuagenarian was kicking ass and chewing bubbble gum (except he was all out of bubble gum!) He lead the pack as we mosied back to the flag for …

    MARY

    Similarly to our first 4 sets of exercises, we were on our sixes with hands and feet elevated, counting to 50 reps of individual V Ups, followed by Supermans in the same tune. 25 IC Hammers, Flutter Kicks, and E2Ks (25L/25R) to wrap things up.

    COT

    Count/ Name/ Ocho prayed us out. 2nd EVER F2 Extravaganza! 5/10, prayers for our own Frank the Tank as he prepares to embark on his foray into the Boston Marathon this Monday.
    To quote Andy Stitzer, “Is it true that if you don’t use it you lose it?” Yes Andy, it is. But at F3 Northshore’s Retirement Village, they clearly still know how to use it, because they haven’t lost a step! And, you know, that fact will help YHC sleepp a little better tonight,

    Barely Legal prayed us out with intentions for his Mom and for Fletch’s Mom

  • Not Counting Reps Just making the Reps Count – from Mobydick

    After a thorough warm up and a sprint to the rock garden the real work begins. Pax selects their favorite rock with the idea of working one arm at a time. The goal is not to count Reps. The only count is “And one more” til there aren’t any left. Curls, presses, to exhaustion with each arm. It took a while. Slow and full did the trick. Over head curls and sumo squats til there wasn’t another one in the tank with a coupons and then fast mossey back to the trailhead and leg lifts and wife pleasers till it burned took us to the end. COT and YHC prayed us out

  • Hey! Who Stole Our Blocks? – from Einstein

    Cool morning at The Gipper this morning ~ 49 degrees –
    with Moby rolling up in his newly acquired golf cart, looking like Mr. Magoo, driving all
    over the AO. Barely Legal arrived soon after, sans golf cart, but with golf cart tales to share.

    WARMUP: toe touch, side straddle hops, shoulder rolls, hi-jack hi-jills, butt kicks, high knees,
    snap crackle pops, book covers, popeyes, side to side lunges, etc.

    THANG:
    Mosey to the back of the supply shed to grab the coupons.
    Holy Moly! They blocks are gone! YHC redirected the pax to the Berock Quarry Rock Garden –
    where we borrowed the Garden Club’s blocks.
    Three sets of coupon work seperated by a run around the Covington Triangle;
    Sets included: curls, rows, overhead press, side rows, grave diggers, blockies,
    windshield wipers, murder bunnies, sit-ups, etc

    Mary:
    Finished with Jane Fondas and a one minute planks

    T-Claps to Moby for running, not one – but two, laps around the Covington Triangle.

    Barely Legal prayed us out.

  • Super Bowl Sunday: Eagles Fly High over Chiefs! – from Jose10k

    We came, we saw, we kicked its ass! IDk, we ran some miles, threw a football, made fun of Bushwacker and Speedy!
