  • Merkin Math is Hard – from Mayhem

    75 degrees, 95% RH, 0 mph wind
    It was wet and not from rain

    Travelling from the East and not wanting to catch the train, High Rise was the first to arrive sometime before 5:20. YHC pulled up next and started running through the plans in my head. From 5:27 to 5:29 the PAX just kept coming with Thumb War bringing up the rear. 5:30 disclaimer and backwards down the track we went.

    After 150M total backwards mosey and 100M total mosey we ended at midfield.

    Quick Warm-A-Rama included GG, MMP (finally correctly demonstrated), IW, FM, PP, Crab Cakes (for Vagabond).

    First exciting effort amidst the mumble0chatter was Motivator-Merkins. Start with 10 motivators then 10 merkins. Count down from there to 1. Only 55 of each when completed. Zero sympathy.

    Next effort was the bear crawl inchworm. Two lines, planked, facing the playground. Last man bear crawls to the front and planks. Everyone goes twice. Boo-hoo the stickers… get over it. No complaining today.

    At the playground, we did the Rail Shuffle. Plank on the rail. We shuffled counterclockwise led by YHC . DOWN = merkin. TUCK = hop forward/back. Once the clock struck 12, all PAX took a turn performing 5 pull-ups.

    Next effort took place on the west side of the gym. Wall Plank with hands ICx20, Wall Plank with feet ICx20, Wall Sit & air presses. Rinse and Repeat, replace air presses with overhead claps.

    Next effort was on the baseball diamond. Circle up. Plank-o-rama. Alternating plank exercise and core exercise IC.
    Hip Slap – LBC
    Shoulder Tap – Freddy Mercury
    Merkin – Flutter Kick
    Put it all together and you get… MAYHEM MERKINS. One PAX at a time. One rep at a time. Twice around the circle of 13. Rest of PAX planking. This amazing exercise is still extremely difficult for some. I assume it is because they have to count all the way to 10… looking at you Mr Rogers, Kennah Brah, Rudy…

    All PAX spread out in the infield of the baseball diamond. A few PAX (Frac?) had to ask where the infield was located. Duck Joust… Duckwalk, arms crossed, knock fellow PAX down. Vagabond cheated… I mean won.

    Mosey back near the flag. Circle up because we ain’t done yet.

    Big Bang. Hold plank then explode up and do the exercise as fast as possible once I call it out. 3 burpees, 10 jump squats, 10 big bois. End with 15 Plank Jacks IC.

    Enjoyed leading.

  • Winter’s Last Gasp – from Boo-Boo

    Two PAX arrived to high 50s, no humidity, and a nice breeze. Slowsey to the warmup pad. After a 10 minute warmup, PAX relocated to the JPAS loading dock for use of the ramp.

    The motto of the day, keep it simple (but not easy). DORA consisting of 100 big bois, 200 merkins, and 300. PAX 1 Scantrons up the ramp to the loading dock and runs back for a switch.

    Mosey back to the flag for three minutes of recovery stretch.

    COT, prayers for several people, OUT!

  • Gotcha – from Hawgcycle

    Warm-up: SSH, IW, GG, Merkins, Bobby Hurly
    On the line: open the gate, close the gate, high knees, butt kicks, scoops

    Mosey to Gym:

    Gotcha – 1 line at the 3 point line. First two pax have a ball. Pax 1 shoots a 3. If he doesn’t make it he gets his own rebound and tries to score before pax 2 scores. If he doesn’t he’s out. Continue until one man left. There was a way to buy back in.

    Buy-in #1 – 30 Abe Lincolns, 60 Monkey Humpers, 90 Big Bois

    As predicted by Mayhem, the buy in was too steep. Although a couple of us came close.

    The Architect won the first game and pretended to do squats while the losers finished up.

    We reduced the buy-in for game two. Fast Tax and YHC got back in to be quickly dismissed once again.

    Buy-in #2 – 20 Big Bois, 40 Monkey Humpers, 60 Abe Lincolns

    I assume The Architect won again. It was him and Mayhem at the end, but I was too busy to pay attention.

    We took a break from basketball to do some
    wall work – BTW. Chicken Peckers, BTW, Pecker Chickens, BTW, Pecker Mayhem

    We then divided up into 3 teams of 3. Teams 1 and 2 play a game of 3 on 3 sudden death wile Team 3 does 10 merkins, 10 Bobby Hurleys, 10 Big Bois, in perpetuity. The losing team swaps with the team doing exercises.

    We made it through three games and headed back to the flag

    NMM
    * There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that enjoy having fun occasionally and Mr. Rogers
    * Speaking of everyone’s favorite neighbor, I did Q a workout that made him remove the weight vest. That feels almost as good as making an FNG puke. I consider it a badge of honor.
    * My shot was off. Must have been the wind
    * At first I was skeptical of Mahyems 10-count hip-slap, shoulder-tap merkin. I’m now fully on board having developed what I have now decided to call the Pecker Mayhem. This will prove to be the pinnacle of Mayhemdom

  • Crawl Wars: Bear vs Crab – from Space Cowboy

    When I arrived back home late Sunday night, I noticed some Scrum commitments from several PAX nursing foot injuries; so, I had to adjust Monday morning’s beatdown to avoid jump roping and running yet still set the bar high.
    It was a warm but comfortable morning when I arrived at Kennarie Ridge and I was soon joined by @Frac Sac, @Kenna Brah, @Boo Boo, and @ PVC…in a walking boot. Gave disclaimer and headed to JPAX.

    Warm-Up
    Samson Stretch x10
    Self Love x10
    Low Slow Squats x10
    Tie Fighters x10 right leg front and forward arm circles, flapjack x10
    Seal Claps x10
    Overhead Claps x10
    SSH x20

    Headed to the possum’s den under JPAX stairs to retrieve cinder blocks

    The Thang – Each round performed as a group
    Round 1
    Alternating Block Merkins x 30
    Bear Crawl up ramp, run down stairs

    Round 2
    Blockees x 20
    Lunges up ramp, run down stairs

    Round 3
    Block Swings x 30
    Crab Walk up ramp, run down stairs

    Round 4
    Squats with Blocks x 30
    Crawl Bear up ramp, run down stairs

    Round 5
    Overhead Block Press x 20
    Backwards Lunge up ramp, run down stairs

    Round 6
    Block Curls x 20
    Walk Crab up ramp, run down stairs

    Round 7
    One-Armed Bench Press x 10 each arm
    One-Armed Rows x 10 each arm

    The ramp work was challenging especially the up hill crab walks but the “50+ year old only” group endured and marched on. As we reached the apex for the last time, I think I even heard a “Kennarie Ridge” war cry from @Boo Boo! The Scrum Bunch had conquered the bears and crabs! Returned the blocks to the possum and commenced with pole-dancing back to the flag with a mix of high knee slaps, lunges, and KOT’s.
    COT and coffee time with Frac

  • Bolti Gras, as in “Fat Bolt” – from Bolt

    YHC dared both a weigh in and the tape measure after work travel/boozing for 7 out of 8 weeks and thus my Lundi Gras was decided…but only bc Boo-Boo called for accountability in Slack! Had he not done so, the tweaked knee and plantar fasciitis would have been all the excuses needed to fartsack so to hedge against it, the response in Slack was affirm attendance and raise by way of taking the Q!
    Warmorama with intent to only feature Mardi Gras playlist until KB made a comment about the “diarrhea song” which required compliance to the pax wishes! Abe SLOWgodas, IW, GG, SSH, seal/OH claps, both Tie Fighters, Chinooks, MNC, self love followed by a slowsey to JPAX where the pax voted horizontal or vertical. Boo-boo and KB had 2-1 advantage so vertical meant the timer would run up the stairs and bear crawl down the ramp. The Dora was 100 dry docks, 200 reverse lunges 2:1, and 300 BBSU. Return to the flag for a song skip and 3 burpee penalty followed by an introduction to YHC’s 30-count invention: Shoulders, Knees, and Toes Plank as time ran out. COT, grateful for the men today and F3 everyday.

  • Trio of Gold – from Fracsac

    YHC reached out for accountability and 2 pax answered the call.
    At 0530 the disclaimer was given and the three of us hit the warmup pad for regular stuff. Upon completing the coveted tie fighters, Charmin recommended a side lunge with chinooks which YHC made happen.

    With ISI on our minds, complete 1 minute 90 degrees arm hangs 10 seconds at a time.

    Mosey to JPAC for some dirty Mac Deuce followed by a set off 11s

    Mosey back to pad for another 30 seconds of arm hangs.

    Thanks for joining me!
