  • 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.

  • A Circle work beatdown – from Mambi

    YHC went to coffee the Friday before and in the middle of a conversation @Fast Tax, simply said “When was the last time you Q’ed Rock City”, YHC responded, it’s been a while? Ok, you are the Q this coming Monday. YHC, was like OK, sure.

    YHC showed up a few minutes before 5:30 and greeted all PAX gave the disclaimer and mosey to the Rock Pile for warm-ups.

    Circle workout – YHC assigned each PAX to 1 station having a total of 8 stations and instructed them to pick an exercise for that station and to do the exercise until another PAX relieves them.

    The 8th PAX/ 8th station would do 10 Merkins then run to the first station. The PAX at the first station would run to the 2nd station and start doing the exercise of that station until the next PAX relieves him. The PAX at the 2nd station will repeat the process at the next station and PAX continues to go around until each PAX returns to his starting station.

  • Battle Frisburpee at the Foundry – from Fast Tax

    It was the usual hot, humid, and sloppy August morning at the Founrdy, but at least it wasn’t raining. As the clock hit 5:30 there were 5 of us and, after the usual disclaimer, we moseyed a ways and began our warmup. We were soon joined by two more, much to YHC’s relief, because Battle Frisburpee can’t be played with five. Thus YHC was spared having to call an audible.

    Warmups included some Pontiff favorites:
    Hairy Rockettes
    Mountain Man Poopers
    Chinooks
    SSH
    And Frac’s favorite – Wife-Pleasing Crab Merkins

    Sufficiently warmed we headed to the track for the first exercise, the Quarter Pounder. Admittedly, YHC wanted to guinea pig this one at Foundry before trying it at Pontiff.
    With PAX lined up on the track along the edge of the field, we sprinted to the 25 yards and did 25 merkins, ran backwards to Start, sprinted to the 50 and did 50 squats, Backwards to Start Line, sprinted to the 75 and did 75 Mountain Climbers, Ran backwards to the goal line and sprinted to the hundred and did 100 SSH. Plank and wait for six.

    The next event was Captain Thor, an ab exercise performed OYO, start with 1 BBS followed immediately by 4 American Hammers, increasing by 1:4 each rep, 10 reps. For those who like to avoid math, the total effort was 55 BBS and 220 Amer Hammers.

    Having dispensed with the pleasantries, it was game-on, BATTLE FRISBURPEE time.

    Team 1: Fast Tax, Fracsac, Backed Up
    Team 2: Mall Cop, Mama’s Pride, Saban

    After a quick recitation of the rules for those PAX who were new to the game, we commenced. Given that it was 3-on-3, strategy was everything. Team 1 clearly owned the 1st quarter, 2-0. Halfway through, Team 2 had battled back. The rest of the game belonged to Team 2, winning with a final score of 5-3.

    It was agreed by all that a larger game of Lakeview vs Metairie was in order.

    With game over we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.
    Thanks for the fellowship and the chance to lead at The Foundry!

  • Frac Attack (Oh No He Didn’t) – from Fast Tax

    The Uptowner 8/12/2022

    Backblast disclaimer: Given the passage of time, YHC’s aging memory, and the Fracsac transgression, the events in this exercise represent my best recollection of what transpired and may not be entirely factual.

    After disclaimer, we headed to the field to attempt to find a dry-ish spot for warmups consisting of:
    Grass Grabbers
    SSH
    Hairy Rockettes
    Toy Soldiers
    Swan Dives

    Catch-Me-If-You-Can was the first exercise. Separating into teams of 2, while PAX 2 ran backwards around the track, PAX 1 did 10 merkins then sprinted to catch up, then PAX 2 did the merkins while PAX 1 ran backwards. This cycle was repeated until we made it all the way around the track.

    Next, we circled up for a roll of the dice. In a circle, PAX took turns rolling the 10 sided exercise die gifted to YHC on his birthday Q from Bolt. Exercises included burpees, merkins, LBCs, and others that I can no longer remember.

    With 25 minutes left, it was time for Battle Frisburpee.

    Team 1 – Rafiki, Smalls, Hand Grenada, and Fast Tax
    Team 2 – PVC, Glamper, FracSac, and Bogey

    While Team 2 prevailed (3-1), it was likely in large part to Fracsac’s blind-side tackling of YHC as YHC was about to score. It is likely that without the incorporation of tackling into the game, Team 1 would have triumphed…at least that is how my concussed brain recalls it…

    Also noteworthy in the game was PVC’s use of passing the ball from one baller to another in order to tag more opposing players. While the move was clever and not specifically prohibited in the rules (yet), this use of the ball is still being reviewed by the Battle Frisburpee committee…a ruling is expected before the next game.

    With game over, we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.
    Thanks for the fellowship! SYITG
