  • Brown Bags Bananas

    Brown Bag doesn’t know how to do backblasts.  So I have some OCD issue that requires a bb – so I will post this for our beer brewing troglodyte.

    In reality it was nice of Brown Bag to step up for Chiquita who claims he can’t remember the names of stuff eventhough he has posted at more than 10 workouts.  (Times up Banana man).  For what its worth I stepped up for Brown Bag a few weeks ago – so he kind of owed us!

    18 pax LINED up for a muddy gloomy monday beatdown.  No offense if I missed you – I wasn’t the Q so I wasn’t paying full attention.  Add your name in the comments and eventually I will add you to the bb.

    SSH, Imp Walkers, Peter Parkers, and squats x 20 ic to start things off.

    Then we started our loop!  Jog around the track to the row bars.  At the rows 10 burpees was the count, (yes seaman cried), rows, lbcs, and squat jumps.

    Long mosey indian run (2 lines) until we hit a lit area.  50 plank jacks oyo.

    Long mosey indian run (2 lines) until we hit the benches at the fountain.  At the fountain – step ups, dips, step ups and dirkins x 20.

    Then we circled up for a CORE O RAMA.

    Each guy picked an exercise that we did x 10 or x 15.  18 guys x 10 = 180 core exercises.

    Seaman finished with donkey kicks.  I did O’Marys which I gleaned from H-town F3.

    We did roaches, russians, flutters, box cuts, etc.  I wasn’t planning on writing the bb – so I can’t remember any of the stuff- or who did what.  This circle with 18 dudes took a good 20 min.

    Then we ran the last half of the park – indian runs.

    We stopped for 50 lbcs.  We stopped again for 25 merks all oyo.

    Thanks for the beatdown Brown Bag!  Now I need to teach you how to backblast.

     

     

  • Blue Moon/ Blood Moon

    14 PAX gathered for a Super Moon!   Blue Moon and Blood Moon!

    “the sun (moon) is the same in a relative way…but you’re older.  Shorter of breathe and one day closer to death”.

    Cavalier doesn’t know how to login to the website, and build a backblast so I am doing it for him.  Thanks Tom Sawyer.

    Mosey to the house at the edge of the park.  SSX x 23 – why?  Imp Walkers x 22, Peter Parks x 20, Hillbillies x 20

    Quick draw commented that this was his kind of mosey.

    Mosey to the PIMP pull up bars.    Pull ups are the count x 10, burpees, squats and lbcs.

    Longer mosey to Levee.  For the window to the eclipse.  Front row seats.  Kind of cool.  Nice plan Cav!

    8’s on the levee.  Burpees at the bottom, and squats at the top.

    Long mosey to Audubon statue.  On the way we ran through my school’s Astronomy class.  Jingle Vader offered to show them a different kind of MOON.

    We lined up for DORA at the Birdwatcher.  100 cross fit merks, 200 squats and 300 LBTs

    Thinking of the moon made me think of Pink Floyd and the lyrics to TIME:  The sun is the same in a relative way…but you’re older.  Shorter of breathe and one day closer to death.  — basically inspired by the moon not the sun or at least the shadow of the sun — the mantra was don’t whiskey dick your day.

    Then long MOSEY back to the flag.

    Cavalier got us home a little late.  Tclaps to RevSox for taking the prayer.

    It was nice to see Thumper back in the gloom.  Tclaps to Angie’s List for a nice workout streak – he hasn’t missed an uptown workout since we started.  Finally Yeungling one of our original guys was back for some fun in the gloom.  A long term Kotter.  He is moving to Chicago and looking forward to posting in the freezing cold gloom.

    INFO regarding RUN RANGER RUN coming from Landing Strip today.

     

     

  • Merkin Madness and Frozen SeaMan

    Bartman informed the Pax halfway through the gloom that frozen Seaman will last forever. True. Strange, but true. I’m not sure what question lead to this strange revelation, but true. So, anyway… YHC was a little nervous for my virgin Q at Wolfpack Mountain. Then I rolled in 1 minute late to a Pax of 16 men anxiously awaiting their beatdown in the gloom. Aye-yi-yi. Sorry to keep you waiting, my brothers.

    But safety first! We made time for the usual disclaimer, and off we go. We made a slow-mosey loop down St. Charles Avenue to end at the beautiful lawn in front of Loyola. Even after the freeze, it’s still some of the best grass Uptown. Circle up for the first COP:

    SSH x 20 IC
    Imperial Walkers x 20 IC
    Low slow squats x 20 IC
    Windmills x 10 IC
    Arm Circles 10 forward, 10 backward IC
    Mountain Climbers x 20 IC

    Next we mosey to the bottom of Wolfpack Mountain for Animals Up the Mountain. What better place for Animals on Parade than Wolfpack Mountain??? Well, this was met with several groans, and as it turns out, there may be better places for this than a parking garage. But we must press on!
    We ran up the garage, and did animal walks at each end of each parking level.
    Floor 2: bear crawl
    Floor 3: crab crawl
    Floor 4: plank walks (OK, OK, not an animal, but whatever)
    Floor 5: duck walks
    Floor 6: frog jumps

    The top of Wolfpack Mountain is the best part of this location for YHC and many of the Pax. On this day, we will use this beautiful spot to alternate between Mary and Merkins. 2nd COP:

    Merkins x 10 IC
    Flutter kicks x 20 IC
    Left-arm staggered Merkins x 10 IC
    Hello Dolly x 20 IC
    Right-arm staggered Merkins x 10 IC
    Single-leg V-ups x 10 IC
    Left-leg cross-over Merkins x 10 IC
    Penguins x 20 IC
    Right-leg cross-over Merkins x 10 IC

    Down the mountain we go to the park benches on the Quad. Everybody grab a bench.
    Left-leg Power-Ups x 20 IC
    Dips x 20 IC
    Right-leg Power-Ups x 20 IC
    Decline Merkins x 10 IC

    Mosey back to the great lawn and partner up. One partner lunges across the lawn and back while the other partner holds a regular plank, left arm plank, and right arm plank. 2 sets, and we are out of time.

    Run back to the flag. Count off, Name-o-rama (apologies to Sandbar for calling him the wrong name in my oxygen deprived sate), announcements, intentions, and a prayer. A shaky start and a shaky ending, but we got it done in the middle! Thank you for letting me lead!

  • Sub Zero Pete

    They call me Subzero Pete
    I’m the king of the Burpee beat
    When I call the pax I go
    Chic-chic-ky-boom
    Chic-chic-ky-boom

    Yes sir, I’m Subzero Pete
    I’m the craze of my Uptown street
    When I start to Q everything goes
    Chic-chic-ky-boom
    Chic-chic-ky-boom
    The Pax they sing

    Up Wolfpack hill our backs lead the way
    No more burpees the pax they pray
    So Burpees it is and we go
    Chic-chic-ky-boom
    Chic-chic-ky-boom

    In search of Dora we go
    Mericans we dug not one shmoe
    LBC to strengthen our dough
    Squat Jumps to end the show
    And we go
    Chic-chic-ky-boom
    Chic-chic-ky-boom

    Down the stairs and to the benches for more
    The Pax they cry “why o why”
    They let out a ugly sigh, “Boo Whore!”
    It’s very nice! To be So full of ice!
    They will be singing my song
    All the day long

    So if you like the beat
    Take a lesson from Subzero Pete
    And I’ll teach you to Q in the subzero heat!
    And we will all go!
    Chic-chic-ky-boom
    Chic-chic-ky-boom
    Chic-chic-ky-boom

    Oh…and we had Q cake from Maple St Patisserie…Cavalier ate a lot!

  • El Wire’s Gloomy Gloom

    EL Wire ordered up some nice temperature weather but some GLOOMY SOUPY fog and wet ground.

    16 PAX circled up for a Wed am beatdown led by El Wire

    El Wire started with the JACK OFF. (he said it!)

    SSH x 20, Imp Walker Squat x 20, Seal Jack x 20, Smurf Jack x 20, Plank Jack x 20, Peter Parkers x 20

    Then we mosey’d to the levee for 5 rounds of LEVEE.

    10 Willi E Coyotes on the tracks

    10 merks at the top of the levee, 25 LBCS at the bottom.

    Then we mosey’d to Audubon’s statue for some DORA  stopping for 10 more Willi E Coyotes again.

    100 decline merks, 200 dips and 300 LBTs.   Brutal but good.

    Then we bear crawl’d up and over the neutral ground and then crab crawled back.  About 15-20 yards.

    Long mosey back to the FLAG.

    Arrived 2 min early at the FLAG so 20 Burpees OYO

    Circle of Trust – prayed for Bartman’s secretary who died over the break.
