  • Dance you Frackers, Dance! – from Fracsac

    Conditions: 50 degrees and dry with a wind chill making it feel like 40. Lots of missing Pax.

    Alarm went off and YHC debated posting due to some lingering soreness. That thought passed and headed to Pontiff arriving 5 minutes early. Curious who the Q was, pulled up the spreadsheet and saw it was…..FracSac?!?!?

    Planted the flag and started talking, apparently not a disclaimer as Rudy quickly pointed out. So disclaimer given and mosey to field for the warmup. Regular warmup stuff with a couple memorable moments. Hand Grenada refuses to dance. Bogey likes to get up close and personal during Peter Parkers.

    What to do when not enough time to plan? Don’t act like you don’t know.

    Mini Dora:

    Assigned partners through count off.
    50 Burpees
    100 ‘mericans
    150 squats

    Partner runs to 50 yard line and back.

    11s
    Burpees and Big Boi Sit-ups
    Bear crawl 15 yards between

    Dance across the field by lunge walking. This really stretches the knees.

    Finish off with Mary, including some wind shield wipers.

    Interestingly enough, there was Mumblechatter during the warmup and then it went quiet until the lunge walks.

    Thanks for posting with me and for making me a better person.

  • Stations and Decking – from Fracsac

    11 Pax at El Diablo to get stronger, witness the bat and the wood, and to partake in some COT Coffeteria.

    Warmup with the regular warmup stuff, although many strange looks when moving on without any MNC.

    First up, Stations. There were coupons and a sandbag, a jump rope and a battle rope. There were also two cones. The timer was bear crawl 25 yards, then have LBC station throw the football. A clean catch and we rotate, a dropped pass and we all do 5 burpees. We did a few…..

    After one full rotation, off to giant deck of death!
    Diamonds – 8 count body builders
    Hearts – Big Boi sit-ups
    Spades – Squats
    Clubs – Flutter Kicks

    After a bunch of cards, left enough time for one more round of stations.

    COT

    Coffeteria at the flag.

    NMM

    YHC woke up early to grind some PJs Anniversary Blend beans and brew about 60 ounces of awesome coffee with the French Press! Great opportunity to mingle post beat down!

    Mahatma was key in fixing our battle rope bench.

    Passed the bat around during name-o-rama. The bat is going limp…..?

  • 11 is the Devil’s Favorite Number – from Bolt

    As 5:30 struck and there’s no Bogey, YHC grabbed the opportunity to lead the workout he thought was supposed to b his until checking the Q sheet the night before.

    Warmorama of the usual stuff followed by a mosey to the rock pike where PAX were instructed to grab a rock they could curl and tricep press. Make our way to the parking area for an easy plan with challenging execution, 11s: 8 count full body rock work (squat, curl, overhead press, tricep press then reverse) on one end followed by a 25 yd. bear crawl with burpees at the end and a mosey return. With the lack of mumblechatter and plenty of grunting from Triple, YHC can assume the PAX were treated to a solid beatdown worthy of El Diablo and discovers that 11 is, in fact, the devil’s favorite number.

    • Showing up to Q with your shirt inside out isn’t the best way to gain the respect of the pax and convince them that you have it all together
    • PVC has probably been to 100 workouts and never to one that I Q’d. That’s on me.
    • The Bogè was pushing hard today. He’s more than just a pretty face with a velvet voice.
    • Mahatma and HG are ready for the one mile bear crawl
    • Boo Boo is one workout away from getting his name on the bat and securing the final Dat Wood t-shirt.
    • Rudy has his birthday Q this Saturday. This is like the 5th thing he’s done in August to celebrate his birthday. I heard he was at the Foundry this morning for what he was calling Battle FrisBirthday. Does anyone know when his actual birthday is? Is it in August? Is this a month long celebration? A two month celebration? What are we dealing with here?

  • It Wasn’t the Game Played, But It Was the Game Played – from Boo-Boo

    Disclaimer given and a mosey to the rock pile area for a warm-o-rama consisting of typical warmup exercises such as SSH, 4-count Abe Vigodas, MC, PP, IW, and mountain man poopers.

    PAX were instructed to grab a medium rock, one that could be used for triceps extensions. Rudy felt there was a dichotomy in the instruction bc a medium rock and triceps extensions do not go together. YHC set a repeating alarm for 5 minutes. Every time the dog barked, PAX had to do 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat.

    PAX were directed to the parking lot behind the gym. While in route, there was mumblechatter between Fast Tax and YHC about the unusual breeze, which YHC thought was typically associated with rain at this time of year.

    Pax lined up in the parking lot for Lt. Dans to the gym. As we arrived at the gym, the rain started. Change of plans! PAX were instructed to assume the People’s Chair under the covering, with their rock, to complete overhead presses and curls in cadence. Occasionally rows were thrown in for variety.

    As the rain increased and the parking lot started to hold water, Bogey felt a significant draw to play in the puddles. PAX were directed to the deepest puddle for facedown Aquamans (Supermans in a puddle), followed by face up Aquamans. Only three PAX elected to stay under cover and missed out on the fun. It was noted that these kind of shenanigans would ever be attempted at an uptown beatdown, while also pointing out that our uptown brother in attendance was all in!

    Rinse and repeat the peoples chair routine and Aquamans, adding Abe Lincolns to the puddle fun.

    At one point, PAX went balls to the wall while attempting shoulder taps. Only Fast Tax was able to complete said maneuver, so it was quickly changed to vertical merkins in cadence.

    Rocks were returned and mosey back to the flag for a COT.

    While the surprise rain storm was not in the game plan, it was the game played. Adaptability is a pillar of effective leadership, and this group was very encouraging and accommodating.
