  • Just for the Record – from Mahatma

    YHC was already pushing the clock to arrive with a few minutes to set up……coming down the street the red flashing lights was a signal…..patients. YHC was confident that the Pax would carry on and after planting the speaker on the field, he headed towards the sound of cadence where War Eagle had just finished the warm up and it was time to work.

    Everyone grab your favorite medium size rock and line up for an overhead Indian run to the field. We planted our rocks midway then headed the bleachers.
    Several rounds of rail exercises with one merkin climb up to the top of the bleachers mixing in some big boy sit ups at the bottom. Once everyone had enough we moseyed back to the field for a concert……Phil Colins “in the air tonight” – plank throughout with merkins during the good part holding plank again to the end approx 5:30. Then AC/DC “Thunder Struck” burpees on every mention of the word “THUNDER” YHC estimated 36 but was caught on several attempts trying to entice the Pax yet the hearing was very good.
    Now time for rock exercises – OH press, curls, rows, front raises, chest press. TriCep press……you get the picture. As the music died we returned the rocks the same way we came, Indian style.
    5 minutes of Mary then back to the flag.

  • BBB (Bolt’s Beast Builder) – from Bolt

    Warmorama: Rapper’s Delight edition with an emphasis on the parts used in burpees. The Thang: 100 burpees for time and with the mantra of, “Leave No Man Behind, Leave No Man Where You Found Him” we will all continue supporting those still pushing themselves until the Six is in! Hawg led the pack, establishing himself as a beast with a time of 7:18. War Eagle opted for a couple laps after 1.5 burpees, Triple showed up coiffed and just after the main Thang ended—shocker. A game of FastTax’s brainchild, ultimate frisburpee, ensued, resulting in Thumb War’s consternation with the rule differences from the far less interesting ultimate frisbee. The end result was the non-R.E.D. Team lost 1-0.

  • Crawl Under a Train & Catch Me if you Can – from Hokie

    YHC texted via Mumblechatter at 0510 to avoid coming to el Diablo via Metairie Road due to a train being STOPPED and to come in via Airline.

    Meanwhile two Pax decided to add an adventure to their pre-workout ventures by crawling UNDER the damn Ol Train like they were in a Hank Williams song.

    At 0530 YHC tried to get a disclaimer in between repeated interruptions by some unnamed “two ply” and then held a VERY Brief warm-o-rama with Abe Vigodas and Grass grabbers before lining the Pax up for an exercise to complete the warm up… The exercise would be called “go under the train” based on the stories of War Eagle and Hand Grenada’s journey in this AM… we lined up on the goal line and inch wormed out towards the 50, did 5 merkins, stood up and rinse and repeated about a dozen times (some would say 60 merkins warmed up our shoulders)

    we then moseyed to the track, around the 50 yard line to start our adventures. Imagine six points on the track
    1. 50 yard line
    2. Goal line
    3. Around the end zone to the goal line across field from #2
    4. the 50 yard line across field from #1
    5. The next goal line
    6. around end zone to goal line across field from #5 and 100 yards away from #1 😉

    The THANG
    at each of the 6 points we would do 10 reps of exercise called out by the Q then another exercise while waiting on the six.

    We would then rotate through a series of “MODES of transportation” between points as follows
    1-2 above ~ Mosey
    2-3 above ~ Sprint
    3-4 above backwards mosey as fast as possible
    4-5 above Lunge walk
    5-6 above backwards Lunge
    6-1 Sprint

    Round 1 ~ At each of the six points we would do 10 Burpees and then Imerial Walkers while waiting on the six
    Round 2 ~ 10 Merkins and SSH while waiting on the six
    Round 3 ~ 10 sit ups with arms crossed and squats while waiting on the six

    Between 0601 and 0605, we stopped and did 4 minutes of calf raises with both legs, then just right leg, then just left leg, then both legs.

    YHC was pleased later in the day to see Hawg’s post in mumble chatter stating this type of format lead to an elevated heart rate for a good portion of our morning.

  • Rock City Ruination/Redemption: U b the judge – from Bolt

    Warmarama: the usual plus BOTH Hairy Rockettes and Toy Soldiers to finally settle the debate over them being a single move with two names (Fast Tax was pleased, Rudy was as salty as the ocean—must be the pre-BD Double Nickel runs).

    The Thang: mosey to rock pile, select a medium rock except Hand Granada and YHC for big rocks. Carry to pavilion for stations of the pavilion. Every PAX performs a different exercise AMRAP con roca (except timer and box jumps) and then shift clockwise. Simple enough, right? Wrong! After assigning Charmin the first exercise and reassessing two stations later due to rock sizes, you’d think it was the ruination of Rock City; this was about the time Rudy unleashed his unbridled passive aggressiveness (did I mention how salty he was in warmup—he only got saltier)! Fast Tax rated it redemption, possibly bc his Hairy Rockettes now stand alone as a separate/distinct exercise, safe from Rudy’s disdainful commentary.
    Sun Rise/Sun Set upper chest, resistance tube work 10x as Timer
    All other PAX AMRAP con roca: box jumps (sin roca), curls, OH press, tricep press, rows, squats, step ups, chest press (please don’t drop that on yourself, Special K): rinse/repeat. Return rocks/flag/COT.

  • May the 4th be with You – from Boo-Boo

    YHC was finally able to get a Q spot for El Diablo around Rudy, Hokie, and Fast Tax who are locked in a race to be the first to add their name to the miniature bat Hawg received 10 years ago for being one of three attendees at a Zephyrs game.

    YHC lead the PAX on a short mosey to the field for a warmup consisting of ordinary warmup exercises. I added in MNCs since Frac was in attendance. Since there wasn’t 100% dance compliance, a 10 burpee penalty was imposed.

    As YHC was ready to move into the meat of the beatdown, he was met with significant resistance for not including Imperial Walkers in the warmup since it was May the 4th. Being a man of the people, YHC obliged to stop the bellyaching of the sci-fi sect of the group.

    With smiles on their merry faces, YHC led the group to the track for BLIMPS as a mode of transportation to the rock pile bc a mosey just wouldn’t be sufficient. The typically quiet and non-judgmental Rudy pointed out that YHC substituted plank jacks with another exercise. The poor guy forgot that modification is acceptable in the F3 world, and we were still able to spell BLIMPS correctly.

    Upon arrival at the rock pile there was the typical banter regarding rock size. PAX were instructed to figure it out as it is not YHC’s place to judge another man’s rock!

    Off to the 50 yard line for 10 Rounds of Tyson, which consisted of all exercises in cadence. At some point Macgyver showed up late and rockless. Initially he was instructed to rifle carry the “bat” until instructed otherwise, but Triple Shift quickly seized the opportunity to shed his oversized rock by switching with Macgyver. Other PAX, namely Rudy, also took advantage of the opportunity to share/shed his rock with the lad.

    While that was fun, all good things must come to an end. PAX returned their rocks to the rock pile and gather for some Mary in the vicinity of the rock depot.

    Mosey to the flag exactly on time! COT, prayer, OUT!

    It’s always an honor to lead HIM! Thank you for the opportunity.
