  • 1988 National Championship – Again – from Rudy

    YHC decided to start the Birthday Week bonanza with a replay of his very first Q

    1988 National Champions – A Year in Review

    So as 530 struck, 9 PAX set off to the rock pile (it would grow to 12 as late arrivers Heisenberg, Mr Rogers and Wedding Planner joined us during the warm up) while another 5 went off for KoT.

    Circle Up for quick warm up to get blood moving. Grass Grabbers and Don Quixote (what they were called back in 2016, according to my backblast) and then describe the workout. Hand Grenada had the audacity to talk smack about the recency of this national championship. Yet he proudly recalled the 1959 Ole Miss championship year.

    Lets relive the year.

    Game 1: #13 ND 19 – #9 Michigan 17. 5 foot nothing freshman Reggie Ho boots 4 FGs. 19 count IW, SSH and Peter Parkers. False Start as Frac appropriately notified the Q that he was performing Hillbillies. And a 5 burpee penalty applied to Kenna Brah for talking smack.

    Game 2: ND 20 – MSU 3. 20 Merkins in cadence. NOLA football star Michael Stonebreaker returns an INT for a TD.

    Grab a Rock.

    Game 3: As our young QB (Tony Rice) starts showing of his arms, we’ll start working our arms. ND 52 – Purdue 7. Overhead x15, Curl x15, Row x15, Push x7. Drop the rock (Yes, Mayhem – that was 52 total)

    Game 4: ND 42 – Stanford 14. Repeat with x13, then x3 for the Push.

    Game 5: TRAP ALERT! Looking forward to upcoming “Game of the Century”, ND squeaks by. ND 30 – Pitt 20. Repeat with x9, then x3 for the Push

    Mosey to the football field, leave the rock on the baseline as we won’t be needing it for a bit.

    Game 6: Catholics vs Convicts! #4 ND 31 – #1 Miami 30. Hero of the game, Safety Pat Terrel with an interception return, and breaking up the potential game winning 2 pt conversion with 30 seconds remaining. We’ll sprint the 50 yards, 10 Squat Jumps, sprint 50 yards back.

    Games 7 & 8. The Military Academies. ND 41 – Air Force 13, and ND 22 – Navy 7. Suicide Sprints and Burpees. 10/20 then 10 burpees. 10/20/30 then 7 burpees. 10/20/30/41 then 5 burpees. Mr Rogers is FLYING through this.

    Game 9: ND 54 – Rice 11. Rocket takes it to the house! 80 yard sprint. Oh wait, HE DOES IT AGAIN. 80 yard sprint back.

    Grab your rocks, head to the pavillion

    Game 10: ND 21 – PSU 3. Bad weather so the passing game is shelved, leaning on the stable of RBs. Work our quads with Step Ups – x21 each side.

    Game 11: 2nd “Game of the century” of the year. #1 ND 27 – #2 USC 10. Coach Lou Holtz sends 2 starters home for “improprieties”. What integrity! We’ll take a seat in the people’s chair and watch the game with them. 27 seconds, then 10 curls. Repeat.

    Getting late – return rocks, head back to the flag.

    Game 12: #1 ND 34 – #4 WVU 21. Finish up with 34 LBC as we were running behind.

    COT: Count Off, Prayers for Mr Rogers for his surgery this week. He swears he’ll be back for the Friday Birthday Q!!! YHC remains incredibly grateful for this group of men and the accountability and encouragement they bring. Prayers that we all may bring those same skills and abilities to all of our encounters.

  • It Wasn’t Me – from Architect

    Since the listed Q didn’t show, and no one else stepped up, I had no choice but to take the lead and use my enhance mental capacity to scheme up a decent workout on the fly.

    Disclaimer provided, encouragement provided to push one’s self. Warm-ups conducted.

    Mosey’d to playground for some group therapy. First group hung out, second group just sat there, and the third remained face down. Threw in some squats because there were some special requests for leg work. PAX rotated through the three stations above.

    Partnered up and grabbed some rocks. Round 1 – Pairs made it across the baseball field, one riffled carried, the other bear crawled (also by special request). Partners switched as needed. Round 2 – repeat round 1 but with lunges (again, trying to accommodate special requests)

    PAX whined about HR remaining too low (obviously they neglected to listen to the disclaimer). YHC threw in some sprints and BBsitups. After rocks returned, workout concluded with some Mary and COT.

    Warmup

  • National Drive Thru Day – from Rudy

    July 24th – National Drive Thru Day. Every day is a holiday, you just gotta find it. And this one had an immediate relevance for YHC, as it allowed me to break out a favorite Rudy-Family road trip song.

    Yup, Weird Al’s 10 minute “Trapped in the Drive Thru”

    Head to the rock pile for a quick warmup with some stretches (while Hokie and PVC disappeared for the mysterious KoT). While stretching, YHC saw the tracks and remembered how weak his balance is. So – lets mosey up to the tracks.

    * Try to hold balance and get 5 squats. Once done with that, start walking the rail. Mayhem showed his prematurely old balancing (lack-of) skills, while The Architect was off to the races. YHC did manage to get 5 squats in But it was NOT easy.

    Then grab a rock and lets head to the Pavillion for some Tabata.

    Round 1 – the PAX were astounded at the riffs, the intricacies of the melody and the story of the drive thru. 10 sets, 45 seconds on 15 seconds rest, going through rock based exercises. The cycle completed just as Weird Al realizes “They forgot the Onions”.

    Round 2 – same exercises, but the music this time was July 24th birthdays. Robbie Grey (Modern English – I Melt With You), J-Lo (On The Floor), Kristen Chenoweth (Popular), Marvin the Martian (I’m a Martian).

    At this point, Bogey and others seemed VERY upset about the musical choices.

    Finally – head to the building for a final round of Wonder Bra’s, celebrating the birthday of the Original Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) while she sang Put the Gun Down.

    Mosey back to the flag to the sounds of Eye of the Tiger for our COT.

  • Z90s and some pax did a pretend workout – from Bolt

    YHC dug back in the annals (reread the word without your filthy mind filter) of previous Qs for something I hadn’t done in a bit—Z90s it would be with the exercises tweaked and the modes of transportation unchanged. Like many NOLA pax who are also part of the coolest generation on planet Earth, I became an adult in the 90s so this workout title includes a Z for many 90s reasons: Z Cavaricci pants, it’s the end of the alphabet like we are the last generation to not suck, it’s the movement pattern we would follow around the bases, I could go on but on to the Thang which followed the usual warmorama stuff/soundtrack followed Morning Calls for the absent Rudy.

    Z90s: 5 thru 20 reps/4 exercises, mix movement between between bases each round, mosey back to home. Skip rule in effect and an all 90s club mix playlist which guaranteed penalty burpees; it was far worse than the playlist I actually created if u can believe that!

    Round 1 (bear crawl between home, 3rd, 1st, 2nd): burpee 5x, Cracker Jacks (frog>star jump>frog) 10x, merkin 15x, plank jacks 20x

    Round 2 (crab walk): burpee, air squats, Peter Parker, American hammer 2:1

    Round 3 (crawl bear): burpee, Bonnie Blair, Parker Peter, overhead air presses

    It was at this point I gave the pax the option for Qs choice or a fourth round and after some debate Frac and The Architect split, pushing Bogey to be the swing vote, opting for round 4 (would’ve been Mary plus decadie of death) and there was mention of dancing so I called an audible on the movement between bases.

    Round 4 (dance moves of pax choice): burpee, R/L side squats, diamond merks, mountain climbers 2:1

    Back to flag—NOT. At the flag I noticed we had two minutes to spare so not wanting to cheat the pax out of their money’s worth we ventured to the edge of the outside track shoulder to shoulder to put on a show for the Old Metairie muckity mucks: Humping of the monkey followed by pleasing of the wife followed by O rings just to solidify the theme for the obviously horrified onlookers.
    In retrospect, I either forgot how much Z90 can suck or it was a poor choice given all the workouts I haven’t been to recently and only kicked my own ass. I’ll let the pax chime in. Winded, honored, and grateful. COT.
