  • Living Hero WOD – from Mahatma

    I knew the challenge when I hit send….Mr. Rogers has set the expectation for a “Hero” beatdown so I decided to go with one living. Sgt Dakota Meyer – Medal of Honor Recipient Afghanistan. His story on YouTube is worth the 10 minutes. While I tried to give some motivating tidbits the key is simply enter and endure the storm (especially with prayer) as often you’ll look back and it was really the fear not the storm because it was actually only a shower!

    We had another Hokie FNG along with “Cray-fish” from down range join is the slightly warm Aug morning. After disclaimer and speaker in hand we head to the field for a warm up:

  • Workout dedicated to Army Sgt Bryan Cooper Mount – from Pool Boy

    It was a great way to start the day with 2 FNG’s showing up. Reminder to all, the importance of introducing new men to our group.

    Quick warmups of Grass Grabbers, Abe Vigoda’s and Arm Circles.
    Thang:
    In keeping up with Mr. Rogers theme, we did a half Murph dedicated to Army Sergeant Bryan Cooper Mount. He was killed July 21, 2020 in Eastern Syria. He was a husband, son, brother, and leader who was adored by everyone who knew him.

    In no particular order and done individually:
    4 laps around track=1 mile
    50 pullups
    100 merkins
    150 squats
    Finish with 4 laps or whatever you have left in you.

    Mary back at the flag.

  • The Laredo Redux – from Fracsac

    The Site Q at El Diablo has set the precedence to have a hero WOD to honor those who have paid the ultimate price. After a brief disclaimer and a warmup, YHC complied with the following:

     6 rounds for time
    24 air squats
    24 push-ups
    24 walking lunges
    400m run
    With about 10 minutes remaining, move to the parking lot for burpee broad jumps and some Mary.

    The Laredo

    While serving in Afghanistan, Army Staff Sgt. Edwardo Loredo died on June 24, 2010, when insurgents attacked with an IED. Loredo previously served in Iraq. Hence the 6/24.

    The pax crushed it with time left over. They had the choice of bear crawl between burpees or burpee broad jumps. Roughly about 15 or so completed.

    Unbeknownst to YHC, this WOD was completed a few weeks ago. We honored this fallen warrior twice.

  • Modified Murph – from Thumb War

    Warmup:

    SSH
    Low slow squats
    Grass grabbers
    Arm circles F & B
    Seal claps
    MNC
    Peter Parkers
    Mountain climbers

    Original plan was to run 2 laps around the track, but since the gate was locked we moseyed the outer path the long route to the new playground equipment.

    There we partnered up for a half Murphy and modified some.

    Collectively in total with your partner:

    50 pull ups
    100 push ups
    150 Air squats
    200 LBC’s

    Rules were that you could give your partner a spot for pull ups, but during the other exercises, you had to be either planking or super manning while the other worked.

    This went quicker than I expected so we added a round of Bench dips IC.

    We then concluded the Murph with a run to the rock pile where each person got a rock for the following:

    2 rounds –

    1st round:
    20 Curls
    20 Thrusters
    20 Rows

    2nd round:
    10 Curls
    10 Thrusters
    10 Rows

    We add got on our sixes for presses with our rocks until I was told we were approaching 6:15 so we wrapped up and got back to the flag for COT.

    Enjoyed leading as I continue to be more consistent and accurate with my counts. Thanks Mr. Rodgers for asking me to lead and thanks for encouraging the fallen warrior inspired workouts.

    Shocker. I’m I had some music critics in the Pax. Bogey called a skip for penalty burpees. Hopefully Mahatma has learned more about New Orleans’ own Grammy award winning Jon Batiste.

  • Take the Pax to Work(s) Day – from Hokie

    YHC told Mr Roger’s a week or two ago I would take the Q for the 1st El Diablo RCR workout and take the Pax on a different journey.

    After a quick disclaimer Pax were told we were going to get some miles in. We would run with waypoint stops to exercise. Fast Pax we’re instructed to sweep the six at each waypoint so they could get extra miles.

    We left the park and moseyed to the 1st stop sign toward the railroad tracks. We stopped to lift the right leg and just turn the ankle to get juices flowing. Switched and did same on left leg and ankle. We then opened the right gate to awaken the hip flexor followed with 7 slow 4 count merkins.

    We then headed down toward Airline to the next stop sign. Fast Pax ran fast and slow pax were circled. As we all converged we gathered for 7 more slow count merkins.

    Onward toward Airline stopping at 911 (Baloo’s house) for 7 more slow four count merkins.

    Onward to 1525 Airline where we stopped for 7 more slow four count merkins. 1525 Airline is Lucky Coin Machine Co and my M- F day job.

    We continued this pattern as we turned on Airline towards Causeway and Pax were instructed to stay safe and on the sidewalk. The stops were with 7 Bobby Hurleys. Our 1st stop was H-M furniture. On this stretch Mayhem let the Q know we only opened one gate so we also opened the left gate.

    We had 4 stops on Airline with the 4th stop being Las Cruces my Saturday day and Sunday day and night job.

    Turn around and return with 8 stops to return at Pontiff at 0610 were we did extra mileage on the track

    Thank you, I love you all!
