  • Uptown Buttercups

    It was a lovely morning for 20 men to meet in the gloom to grow and improve themselves.  DISCLAIMER!  Let’s mosey… circle up in front of the Tulane sign:

    -SSH x 30 IC

    -IW x 30 IC

    -Mt Climbers x 30 IC

    -Arm Circles x 30 IC (ea dir)

    -J-Lo’s x 20 IC

    Let’s head to the bottom of the mountain.  Column of twos and Indian Run to the top.  It’s time to bring 11’s back…we just don’t do them anymore.  On your own, run to the bottom of the incline, do 10 crossfit merkins, run back up and do 1 WWII sit-ups…run back down and do 9 crossfit merkins, run back up for 2 WWII sit-ups, and keep going until reversed.  After a couple of the young studs finished and planked, the rest of us stopped where we were and headed down the mountain to the lawn in front of touchdown Jesus for some Mary.

    Plank Challenge: Front plank 1 minute, Low plank 30 secs, low plank left leg up 30 secs, low plank right leg up 30 secs, left arm up plank 30 secs, right arm up plank 30 secs, low plank 30 secs, front plank 1 minute.

    That was fun and we still have time for more Mary:

    -LBC x 20 IC

    -Flutter kicks x 20 IC

    -Hello Dolly’s x 20 IC

    -Wife Pleasers x 20 IC

    Hurry up to the SF so we’re not late and RY chews us out….coutoff, namerama, announcements, shoutouts and a prayer.  Welcome FNG-Shanewego.   It was a pleasure to lead.  I look forward to the next time.

    HEY UPTOWN!  SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP!!!

  • Brown Bags Bananas

    Brown Bag doesn’t know how to do backblasts.  So I have some OCD issue that requires a bb – so I will post this for our beer brewing troglodyte.

    In reality it was nice of Brown Bag to step up for Chiquita who claims he can’t remember the names of stuff eventhough he has posted at more than 10 workouts.  (Times up Banana man).  For what its worth I stepped up for Brown Bag a few weeks ago – so he kind of owed us!

    18 pax LINED up for a muddy gloomy monday beatdown.  No offense if I missed you – I wasn’t the Q so I wasn’t paying full attention.  Add your name in the comments and eventually I will add you to the bb.

    SSH, Imp Walkers, Peter Parkers, and squats x 20 ic to start things off.

    Then we started our loop!  Jog around the track to the row bars.  At the rows 10 burpees was the count, (yes seaman cried), rows, lbcs, and squat jumps.

    Long mosey indian run (2 lines) until we hit a lit area.  50 plank jacks oyo.

    Long mosey indian run (2 lines) until we hit the benches at the fountain.  At the fountain – step ups, dips, step ups and dirkins x 20.

    Then we circled up for a CORE O RAMA.

    Each guy picked an exercise that we did x 10 or x 15.  18 guys x 10 = 180 core exercises.

    Seaman finished with donkey kicks.  I did O’Marys which I gleaned from H-town F3.

    We did roaches, russians, flutters, box cuts, etc.  I wasn’t planning on writing the bb – so I can’t remember any of the stuff- or who did what.  This circle with 18 dudes took a good 20 min.

    Then we ran the last half of the park – indian runs.

    We stopped for 50 lbcs.  We stopped again for 25 merks all oyo.

    Thanks for the beatdown Brown Bag!  Now I need to teach you how to backblast.

     

     

  • Blue Moon/ Blood Moon

    14 PAX gathered for a Super Moon!   Blue Moon and Blood Moon!

    “the sun (moon) is the same in a relative way…but you’re older.  Shorter of breathe and one day closer to death”.

    Cavalier doesn’t know how to login to the website, and build a backblast so I am doing it for him.  Thanks Tom Sawyer.

    Mosey to the house at the edge of the park.  SSX x 23 – why?  Imp Walkers x 22, Peter Parks x 20, Hillbillies x 20

    Quick draw commented that this was his kind of mosey.

    Mosey to the PIMP pull up bars.    Pull ups are the count x 10, burpees, squats and lbcs.

    Longer mosey to Levee.  For the window to the eclipse.  Front row seats.  Kind of cool.  Nice plan Cav!

    8’s on the levee.  Burpees at the bottom, and squats at the top.

    Long mosey to Audubon statue.  On the way we ran through my school’s Astronomy class.  Jingle Vader offered to show them a different kind of MOON.

    We lined up for DORA at the Birdwatcher.  100 cross fit merks, 200 squats and 300 LBTs

    Thinking of the moon made me think of Pink Floyd and the lyrics to TIME:  The sun is the same in a relative way…but you’re older.  Shorter of breathe and one day closer to death.  — basically inspired by the moon not the sun or at least the shadow of the sun — the mantra was don’t whiskey dick your day.

    Then long MOSEY back to the flag.

    Cavalier got us home a little late.  Tclaps to RevSox for taking the prayer.

    It was nice to see Thumper back in the gloom.  Tclaps to Angie’s List for a nice workout streak – he hasn’t missed an uptown workout since we started.  Finally Yeungling one of our original guys was back for some fun in the gloom.  A long term Kotter.  He is moving to Chicago and looking forward to posting in the freezing cold gloom.

    INFO regarding RUN RANGER RUN coming from Landing Strip today.

     

     

  • Invasion of exchange students

    Well we guess that Cavalier didn’t get the memo for this AM – Douille?  Did you let him know he had the Q?

    Beautiful 60 degress today!

    It was all good.  I had a plan in my back pocket.    We were join by Buffett from Myrtle Beach, NattyDatty from Ashville NC, and King of Beers from Ashville.  All in town for a conference.  Tclaps to NattyDaddy and King of Beers for the 6 mile pre-game run.  Another tclaps to NattyDaddy for running six miles back!
