  • The deck on the upper deck! – from BBQ

    A mighty 5 worked the deck from the upper deck of the A1C. The warm up was 20 reps of self love, boxers, torso twists , arm circles forward and reverse, grass grabbers, mountain climbers, Willie Mays and Side Straddle Hops. A 52 deck of cards with 2 jokers and 2 bicycle card instructions. The cards were drawn one at a time. Hand release Merkins, jump squats, leg lifts and LBC’s were done according to suit and card number. The total reps done for each were 85 except for the LBC’s that were doubled and hit 170. The joker draw was a lap around the upper deck alternating forward and backward run and the other was a lap alternating karaoke. The bicycle card draw was 20 crunchy frogs and the other was 20 Freddie Mercuries. We had 2 minutes left and stretched. Fletch had a good one and new one to me for hips. Ask him to demo. We finished with the nameorama and COT. Moly Dick prayed us out and challenged us to help each other and the community. Thanks for the opportunity to Q!

  • MaryAnne’s Mayhem at The Gipper – from TurboTax

    Some guys liked Ginger best, but YHC always found himself in the MaryAnne camp with the Professor. Until this morning in the Gloom, that is.

    The Gipper PAX tackled the latest and last installment in the 2021 IronPAX challenge, MaryAnne’s Mayhem. 52:30 minutes of hard work. YHC doesn’t remember anything of that nature happening on Gilligan’s Island but maybe he missed something. 200 coupon curls, 175 body weight squats, 150 OH coupon presses, 125 coupon swings, 100 Merkins, 75 coupon thrusters, 50 Bonnie Blair’s, and 25 blockees as well as multiple 25 yard runs and burpees were the order of the day. Everyone made their downpainment on the day and got their money’s worth this morning.

    Thanks for letting me lead guys.

  • Deck of death with a bunch of old cores – from Jose10k

    On a beautiful crisp morning, YHC arrived to the a1c realizing that he had forgotten to create a workout for this morning. Softball had kept him out to late the night before, so he reached into his bag for supplies. The usual crew showed up. I quickly found a deck of cards and it was on!
    Warmups: arm circles, self love, torso twists, and something else ( with 10 hand released merkins in between). Inspired by STEVE, lt. Dan’s across the parking garage. Moseyed back to the center, rock music playing, the deck of death began. Hearts: leg raises. Diamond: big boy situps, spades: gas pumps, and clubs: freddy mercurys in cadence, the joker was 5 calf raises on each step, up all 3 flights. Deck of death, core style! COT, and einstein prayed us out! Thanks for letting me lead brothers.
