  • Campout Campfire – from Sea Man

    A large grouping of Pax headed out to conquer the uptown rockies! (Yulman, Wolfpack, Little Wolf, TES Stairs, and Loyola Music Stairs) Dodging protesters, and news outlets, Popalock sent the Pax on their quick journey.

  • Mostly the Same – from Nip/Tuck

    I went to Stiffler’s Mom this morning. It seems a little like visiting an indigenous tribe that has no contact with the outside world. I am happy to report that the Natives are still happily existing. Today we ran and we talked about Jennifer Coolidge. Not much has changed.

  • My cadence is PURE. Angie is Rotten inside. – from Reluctant Yankee

  • Another RARE Uptown Backblast – from Reluctant Yankee

    Man…I did NOT want to post when I opened my eyes at 5AM. I rolled over and laid there thinking about it…at 5:18 I was still awake somehow thinking about posting or sleeping. Its funny how even after 8 plus years of this – every gloom – I reluctantly drag my tired body out of bed. I knew there wasn’t a Q signed up. I knew I would need to step up. Pulled in to Birdcage – wheels on fire bc I sped to the workout due to my sleepy hesitation.
    Quick disclaimer while I yelled follow me – no stopping and we were off to the field in front of the ZOO. I noticed Peppa was here. I was happy to see Pep bc he has been out of town a bunch. I saw Quincy who hasn’t been posting regularly and I was happy to see him. I saw Angie’s List who is always talking with El Wire during the first circle of pain and I was happy to see him. As I looked at each PAX I was happy to see all of them. I started making a mental list of who wasn’t there – no Brown Bag, no Seaman, no Sphinxter, no Moana. I made a mental note that if I am happy to see these PAX and disappointed not to see some PAX – there must be others who feel the same way right. I was thinking I need to post more on Monday. 4 posts a week is usually my goal. Lately it has been only 2 a week.
    I never want to post – I never REGRET posting.

    1st CIRCLE OF PAIN: SSH x 20, Imperial Scott walkers x 20, 20 Hand Release Merks and 20 MTN CLIMBERS
    ran to Audubon Statue
    Partnered up for 3 laps with a partner: Lap 1 – Dips Lap 2 Left leg steps Lap 3 Right leg steps
    ran to the FLY – River view.
    Circled up for some Shoulder Taps, Plank Walks, J-Los, and Toe Tappers
    Ran to the Hill.
    Did 20 LBCs ran to midfield of soccer field 10 Hand Release Merks – decrease by 2
    back to Hill 20 LBCs ran back to midfield for 8 HR merks
    same and stopped after 6 HR merks.
    Long run to Labyrinth with Ping Pongs back to collect the 6.
    2 quick exercises at Labyrinth. Decline Should Taps, then 20 Plank Jacks.
    Back to FLAG
    Had to hustle to get there on time.

    I am taking the list of PAX who posted and filling in the calendar until June! You have been signed up.
    I will do my best to send a friendly reminder.
    I will also harass you to write a backblast.
    Thanks for posting. Without you out there in the gloom – I am certain that I would sleep in comfort

  • Workout Tribute to Cardinal’s VQ – from Willie

    Like many AOs around the country, we paid tribute to the passing of Cardinal by performing his VQ workout in the big mountain at WPM. All of the running referenced in the workout was done up the mountain. In addition to Cardinal’s workout, I did bring a bluetooth speaker and a new playlist for 2023. If any of the PAX wanted to skip a song, the entire PAX incurred a 10 burpee penalty. Cardinal’s workout is already stacked with burpees, so the PAX endured some pretty rough music. We were almost skip free, but @douille pulled a skip at the very end…. Not a surprising move from @douille. Cardinal’s VQ workout is as follows:

    Warm-o-Roma

    15- Side Straddles Hops
    10- Tempo Merkins*
    10- Flutter Kicks Double Count
    10- Little Baby Arm Circles Forward
    10- “ “ Backward
    10- Hallujahs
    10- Knoxville Cherry Pickers*
    20 Sec. Samson Hold*
    PHELPS it out
    10- Willie Mayes Hayes

    Workout
    “Card’s Run and Repeat”

    5- Burpees – We suggest a moment of silence for our brother Cardinal after completing this first set. -Rampart Burpee Counter 10
    Big Boys
    Heels to Heaven
    Run to the sign and repeat (each run to the sign is 160 meters)

    10- Burpees Burpee Counter 30
    Little Baby Crunches
    Mt. Climbers Double Count
    Run to the sign and repeat

    15- Burpees Burpee Counter 60
    Air Squats
    Freddy Mercury’s
    Run to the sign and repeat
    When you return hold squat until all Pax have finished

    As a group if there is time

    20- Burpees Burpee Counter 100

    At the COT we offered up intentions to Cardinal and his family. It’s always an honor to lead such a great group of men!

  • First WPM of 2023 – from King Kong

    I wanted to start the first WPM of 2023 the right way… so I brought couple friends, two coupons, to the workout. I heard some mumblechattering when I rolled up with those presents. Needless to say, they were with us for the rest of the beatdown.

    We ran through Tulane campus towards PJ’s Cafe. We circled up and did some warm-ups: SSHs, Windmills, Armcircles, Grass Grabbers, Imperial Walkers, Hill Billies.

    After warmup exercises, we moseyed to Tulane Howard-Tilton Library, which is named after El Wire’s grandfather. Partnered up and did the following exercises (declined shoulder taps, squats, and American hammers) while one person was running a lap around the parking lot. Flap jack.

    After the partner workout, we ran to the other side of the UC building. We were facing the steps. We bear crawled to the first step and did one merkin, then onto the second step and did another merkin, to the third step…. etc I think there were 9 steps in total. Once we got to the top we worked our way back down. We bear crawled down the steps and did one merkin at each step. After, we headed towards the bench and did high step ups x 10 each leg.

    We then ran to the base of the Baby Garage. We formed 2 lines and Native American ran up to the top with the coupons. At the top, we circled up for a ring of fire. While one pax was doing 10 hand released merkins, the other Pax were in plank position. We did 2 rounds.

    Finally, we arrived to the base of the WPM. We formed 2 lines and Native American ran all the way to the top with coupons. At the top, we finished the workout with some Mary’s. (Leg Raises, LBCs, and flutterkicks.

    Moseyed back to the flag.

  • Hands free – Argentina won the cup! – from Reluctant Yankee

    YHC had the Q for a Monday chilly skinny. 18 PAX circled up for a quick disclaimer kind of and we were off joined by a FNG-soon to be named Hands Free – Headlocked by Whopper.
    Took off to big field across from Zoo.
    Warmup COP SSH x 20, Imp Walkers x 20, Shoulder Taps x 20, and Roaches x 20
    Run over to the Audubon statue for a modified Dora.
    Partner up – Plank Jacks for #1 while #2 runs a lap – then flip flop
    Then Dips for #1 while #2 runs a lap – then flip flop

    Then we ran to fly by the river for a COP –> walking plank, hip dips, jlos, and nolan ryans

    Then we ran to the hill. Merks 20 run over the hill drop 4 and do 16 merks repeat and drop by 4 again to 12 drop to 8 and drop to 4.

    Indian run off the FLY – RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN! TRAIN.
    We didn’t make it – TRAIN blocked us but lucky us only one car.

    Ran to the LABRYNTH. I swept the 6 with the 29 year old FNG -Hands Free and even though he said the workout wasn’t hard he was suckin air a la Jingle Vader. LOL.

    At the LAby we did 20 Dips, 20 Wife pleasers using the bench and 20 decline merks.

    Ran to the flag for the complete 2.35 mile loop.

    Nice Monday gloom!
    Always fun to lead. See you on Friday for my next FROZEN Q.
    Peace – and Gratitude.

  • We Only Lost One – from MANCHOVY

    We started simply enough with 24 PAX and a mosey to the field in front of the zoo for a warm-o-rama which included SSH x 20, arm circles forward and backwards x 12 each, Windmills x 15, Peter Parkers and Parker Peters x 15. Then it was over to the Audubon statue for BLIMPS.

    Following the BLIMPS it was over to the levee for 7s with squat jumps at the bottom and Jack Webbs at the top of the levee. Afterwards we planked on the railroad while the PAX on the end did 5 merkins, ran to the end of the line, and re-planked. After two rounds it was back to the statue for right and left leg step ups, dips and a round Mary. We lost one PAX sometime during the above.

    We returned to the flag for count-o-rama with 23 PAX, the name-o-rama and welcomed FNG #Slow Poke .
