  • Around the World and Back Again – from Baywatch

    Warmup:
    1. SSH
    2. Mountain Climbers
    3. Hillbillies
    4. Grass-grabbers

    And so it began at the first workout station. 3 PAX, 3 stations, 2 rounds. Dips, rail jumps, and 12 burpees for a timer.

    Mosey to the next spot. Same deal. 3 PAX, 3 stations, 2 rounds. BBS, shoulder taps, and run a loop as the timer.

    Mosey to the bleachers along the soccer field. 2 rounds of chair dips (20 each round) and Bulgarian Squats (10 per leg).

    Back to the running trail and my personal favorite—Bataan Death Crawls. In short, this is bear crawls in Indian Run formation with burpees…the most fun you can have standing up! We did this for two full rotations and then continued our mosey to the next exercise station.

    Back to the 3 PAX, 3 stations, 2 rounds. Flutter kicks, dying cockroaches roaches, and 30 steps ups as the timer.

    Then we moseyed back to the flag. Total mosey was 1 mile.

    Thank you to Fracsac and Hokie for joining me. Always a pleasure gentlemen.

  • Tabata with RESPECT to SLT ~ Safe travels Vag – from Hokie

    Saturday evening an urgent plea was sent by Vagabond as he was called out of town on some unexpectant travel.

    By the pure Grace of God, YHC responded before Bay Watch or Frac had the opportunity.

    Sunday morning came and I was greeted Catfish and Heisenberg, then Frac came rolling in hot (no surprise there!)

    Disclaimer was made before warm o Rama while “Facing the Bacon”

    There was some mumblechatter that possibly the Q forgot Sunday Mornings and “we better not finish late for coffee” but alas “Halt” was heard and we went to the front of NOMA to close with 1 minute of Sunday mornings

    COT
    – Prayers were lifted for the upcoming relocation of Bay Watch to Jackson, MS; for his house sale, and his house hunting.
    – Prayers were lifted for the Frac and his upcoming trip to Vegas this Wednesday through next Monday to connect with his siblings in support of his sister who just lost her husband unexpectedly

    I was a little dissatisfied with this Q, as possibly being a little too easy, so I will try it again this Tuesday over at Best Bank Batture with some modifications.

  • Gambling for Gains – from Baywatch

    It was a glorious Sunday morning in City Park where 6 PAX gathered for a Vegas style game of chance with no fear of returning home broke (at least not monetarily). Tripleshift was so enthused he showed up one hour early! Apparently trying to outsmart your smart phone regarding daylight savings time is not such a smart idea.

    With the clock striking 0630, we gathered on the museum steps for the warmup.

    Imperial Walkers 20x
    Mountain Climbers 15x
    Arm Circles F/B 15x
    Shoulder Taps 20x
    Abe Vagodas 10x
    Self Love OWN

    The Thang

    YHM came with a plan…a roll of the dice to decide our fate. A list of 12 exercises were written out on poster board. Each PAX took turns rolling the dice to see which one we would perform. After each exercise, we ran a lap around the museum and rolled again.

    1. 8 Count Body Builders – 15x
    2. Burpees – 25x
    3. Merkins – 35x
    4. Decline Merkins – 20x
    5. Lunges – 30x
    6. Dips – 40x
    7. Box Jumps – 20x
    8. Crab Walk – Around inside fountain
    9. Bear Crawl – Around outer fountain curb
    10. Squats – 50x
    11. Step Ups – 100x
    12. Deep Sea Divers – 3 merkins per step

    Now, I know what you are thinking. And, yes, I admit there is a flaw in the list. 1 through 12?? How can you roll a 1? Well, you can’t as it turns out. As I told the PAX, I’m a lawyer not an accountant. However, like a good husband, I placed most of the blame on my M because she’s a doctor and allegedly smarter than me, but she didn’t catch this error either. Nonetheless, the great and mighty Vagabond did manage to roll a 1 by just rolling one dice so we were able to do some 8-count body builders after all. After getting through 6 rounds or so the clock was winding down.

    So, we moseyed to the rear of the museum for 5 rounds of Sunday Mornings and then finished it out with a COT back at the flag.

  • Murph Training II with a Triple Double – from Hokie

  • Cub, Cub, Bear! – from Baywatch

    It was a blustery morning after a stormy night but 9 PAX made the trek to City Park. After the normal pleasantries, we moseyed to the track for a warmup:

    25 SSH
    20 Hillbillies
    15 Peter Parker’s
    15 Parker Peters
    12 Grass Grabbers

    Next, we moseyed to the Foundry for
    a quarter Murph. After all had finished, we ran over to the playground near the picnic pavilion for a new game called Cub Cub Bear. Heard of Duck, Duck, Goose? Well, this is similar, just with bear crawls. We circled up around the play ground with a plank as the static position instead of standing. As one person bear crawls around they tap each person saying cub or bear. If you get tagged as bear you must do 2 merkins then try and catch the other person while both bear crawl. The circle ended up being a little too large but the game was still fun. After everyone had been tagged, we moseyed over to the back of the art museum.

    Some of the PAX had never been to a Renaissance beatdown so I introduced them to Sunday Mornings. After several rounds we headed back to the flag for some Mary and COT. It’s always a pleasure leading you, brothers.

  • When Kuch is away, the PAX will play (aka fartsack) – from Baywatch

    Pothole and Saban joined YHC on a perfect morning at the Lakefront. I was a little surprised upon arrival to see no PAX given that it was the off week for Broga. Then a car pulled up and I asked Saban and he replied simply, “Kuch is out of town.” No more needed to be said. If your not aware, Kuch is the unofficial PAX herder for Lakeview. When he’s away, we apparently stray (not that I can say much as I’ve fartsacked my fair share lately).

    Nonetheless, three strong we moseyed around the fountain and stopped for a warmup. 25 SSH, 15 merkins, 15 Peter Parkers, 10 Abe Vagodas, 10 Grass Grabbers.

    Since RCR is done and Memorial Day will be here before we know it, it’s never to early to start getting ready for The Murph. So we moseyed over to the House of Pain. 5 rounds w/ each round including 5 pull ups, bear crawl up hill, 5 squats, run down, 5 burpees, bear crawl back up, 5 squats, run down and start over.

    Next we moseyed over to Canal Blvd and did some 4 corners with ascending reps each round—7 reps, 14 reps, and then 21. Corner 1 was shoulder taps, corner 2 was merkins, corner 3 was Jlos, and corner 4 was BBS.

    Then we moseyed back to the flag for some Mary at COT. Thanks gents!

  • Rucking > Running – from Baywatch

    2 PAX joined YHC in the gloom for an early morning Ruck. It was a straight out and back over the bridge beside the bayou. We did merkins, squats, and overhead presses with our rucks at the turn. YHC also threw in some bear crawls up the mountain on the way back. We finished it out with some flutter kicks and BBS, with the rucks of course.
