  • Howling Ass and Abs – from Hogs Breath

    This backblast, like a woman’s period, is better late than never.

    YHC arrived at the A1C about 5 mins early, to find a trio awaiting me!

    The very first thing was a warm up mosey to second deck, which included some karaoke, butt kicks and stuff. The warm up also included some toe touches and YHC favorite Mountain Man Poopers.

    The Thing;
    We began with a few rounds of Howling monkeys. Which is Monkey Humpers in a circle, the play continued until YHC determined there was enough groaning.

    Backwards run to next corner with some Howling V-ups. V-Ups in a circle until YHC determined there was enough groaning.

    Backwards run to third corner with Howling Holes. Or squats in a similar fashion.

    See a trend?

    Backwards run to last corner with Howling flutter kicks.

    Walking lunge down the ramp to the bottom deck. Since the date was 1/19, we did 119 collective wife pleasers!

    Mosey back up to second deck and rinse and repeat for the Howling rounds.

    What would be an A1C beatdown without some calf raises up to the top deck?

    YHC even brought a jug of coffee to have an impromptu Coffeteria. Jose 20K had to leave early otherwise a nice ice cold soda was awaiting for him!

    Hopefully four men left the beatdown with better looking Ass and ABs!

  • Hakunah Tabata – from Mobydick

    65 degrees? Are you serious? T-shirt and shorts one more time before the weather rolls through. Everyone was happy to enjoy this gorgeous weather. Yes, we know Russo will always wear shorts and a t-shirt. He’s our own Victor Freeze ( a batman character portrayed by the master thespian Arnold Schwarzenegger. The colder it gets, the happier he gets. Moby requested to lead a beatdown to help with his lower back, so it was time for some Tabata. 45 seconds on, 20 seconds off. 6 Exercise: freak nastys, squats, crunches, irkins, jane fondas, and box cutters. Rinse and repeat.
    COT, Moby prayed us out. 1/21 Nightmare after Christmas with Moby. 1/27 Bushwhackers camping trip. Runcajunrun the month of February, sign up by 1/18.

  • Return of the Mighty Moby – from Einstein

    Yes indeed, Moby is back after a few week hiatus due to combersome back pain.

    YHC did the warmup and Moby took over the Q with a tabata: 45 seconds on 30 seconds off.
    6 exercise, 4sets: crunches, box cutters, inclined merkins, squats, etc.

    Pass Interference brings in a FNG to the PAX – welcome Spackle

    Moby prayed us out.

  • Ramping up for the New Year – from Einstein

    A cool 36 degrees at the A1C this morning. The mighty Shooter jumps out of his mirth mobile in shorts and, of course, no gloves.

    After a quick warmup of windmills, sshops, neck rolls, arm circles, scissors, parker peters, toe touch,etc. it was off to the ramp

    On the ramp, starting from the bottom – a set of 11s. Merkins of your choice at the bottom,
    jump squats at the top. Forward run, backpeddle run, left side shuffle, right side shuffle on the return trips

    Then to the upper deck for speed skater drills, star jacks, with core excercises at the four corners. Finished up with the world’s greatest stretch.

    Jose10K prayed us out.

  • Blocks make a beatdown Better! – from Shooter

    New Year and new goals in mind, YHC checked the Q sheet on Tuesday and felt the need to deposit a down payment to get the year started off right.. With so many blanks on the sheet I felt an opportunity to get included on the PAX Milner report that Jose10k and Russo seem to own. Whether by choice or just being the HIMs they displayed in 2023, YHC filled in 3 slots with hopes that other PAX will do the same and fill the Q sheet. Also, keep in mind the opportunity to take over an AO for awhile, we welcome changes, as Fracsac previously put out there.. It is a small commitment that your brethren will appreciate and it creates an excitement seeing new HIMs taking charge..

    With 💯 of rain in the forecast, YHC did not anticipate a large showing but certainly did not expect a Jose10k sighting as he previously mentioned he will do cold but he doesn’t do wet cold.. His words, “seeing a Mandevillian on the Q sheet, I had to post!” Very flattering Jose10k, but I know your deep desires and the top spot on PAX Milner. Appreciate you still though..

  • You can’t spell legendary without leg day. – from Jose10k

    3 men took the red pill on this chilly 34 degree morning. It was too cold for the top floor, so we moved it down to the second level. Einstein and I began our warm-up when Fletch came rolling up hot on two wheels. Apparently he has been battling broken pipes at his home.
    The Thang: Inspired by the Norwegian Speed Skating workout on Wednesday, YHC decided that it was a leg day. First up, Lieutenant Dan the length of the parking garage. Then Side lunges the length of the parking garage, left leg first, then right leg the length of the parking garage. Then another Lieutenant Dan the length of the parking garage. Then moseyed to the bottom of the parking garage for some calf raises, 2 for each step up to the top. Back to the second floor for some mix mary. Wife pleasers IC (30 count) followed by 30 count of pulses, penguins, more wife pleasers, right elbow to left knee, left elbow to right knee, more wife pleasers, lbcs, then more wife pleasers. Cooper Head Squats (20 count), followed by Lt Dan the length of the parking garage, then one more round of Lt. Dan’s. COT, Einstein prayed us out. Russo has the Q tomorrow, Akbar has a New Years Beatdown at the Marsh with a new start time of 7 am with Waffle House afterwards. Safe travels to all this weekend, prayers for Freon and his family, Fletch and his home repairs, and all other family needs. I appreciate those who posted and those who are reading this. No merlot was splashed today. Don’t let the cold weather keep you from coming out. It warms up pretty quick.

  • Die Hard is a Christmas Movie – from Jose10k

    YHC arrived early, a little extra time to stretch. Akbar must have been thinking the same, so I had someone to chit chat with this morning. During the conversation, 4 Covington PD came in hot on the top of the A1C, just to “check things out” according to the officer. We were blessed by an out of town brother, Webelow, joining us from Jackson County (I apologize if I spelled it wrong)
    Warm-up:ssh, grassgrabbers, torso twists, imperial walkers, self love (all to Christmas Time in Hollis Queens). Where the first trivia question, who was John McClain’s limo driver? Russo didn’t know the answer to this question(which was the theme of the beatdown). Argyle was the answer.
    The next question was what was John McClain’s wifes name: russo was wrong yet again. Holly Generro
    The thang: After the warmups, the PAX moseyed to the courthouse. The tragedy at Nakatomi plaza occurred on Christmas Eve, and we gathered today to honor the hero of Nakatomi: John McClain. The event occurred on the 30th floor, so that’s where we started. 30 merkins, 30 squats, 30 big boy sit-ups, 30 leg lifts. In between each exercise ran the length of the courthouse leading up to the stairs, up the stairs and then back down. Once the pax was finished we ran 1 lap around the entire courthouse.
    12 Terrorists entered Nakatomi: 12 burpees
    We now stopped on the side of the courthouse.
    ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring,except for the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two formation.
    Paired up. Partner one : side lunges the entire grass section to the concrete and back, partner 2= holds an al gore thoroughgood. Repeat.

    The terrorists planned to use C4 to blow up Nakatomi Tower. The PAX completed in cadence 30 reps of these 4 “c”ore exercises: little Manny crunches, flutter kicks, Freddy Mercury’s, and penguins

    Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.
    Famous line from the air ducts: time to do some ac duct crawling, while partner 2 does squats. Mosey back to the second floor to do a Hans Gruber pull-up: the pax hung from the raptors for 10 count, then did 30 Superman’s (he did fall 30 stories) .back to the stairwell to do 5 calve raises each to the top. And time was up.
    Trivia Question: What type of watch was Holly wearing that Hans hand was caught on? Russo was incorrect with Seiko. Pelican for the win with Rolex. Given to Holly from Ellis. More quotes from Hammer.
    5 Calf raises on each step on the way back up. Circled up for the first thing McClain did after going to the ER: Wife Pleasers in cadence for a 60 count. That’s when we were joined by Moby and turbodog. A few more core exercises.And to further celebrate the heroics of John McClain, a yell of Yippee Ki-yay Motherfu**er. The Trivia Question that Russo finally got correct. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman. COT and Hammer prayed us out. Thanks for the SplashPad joining us, thank you for Hammer to help create peace between battling AOs.
    Thought for the Season: Is Lethal Weapon a Christmas Movie? The answer is yes, and possibly the theme for the next beatdown.
