    17 Pax including 2 FNG’s and 1 Down Range from ENC made a choice to take the DRP on their journey to get right and posted to Okwata to help YHC celebrate 5 years in F3. With a shovel flag planted, disclaimer was given, then:

    SSH IC x 31
    IW x 15
    Bat wings x 15 IC of AC, OC, SC and MNC (dancing during Moroccan NC), finished with 20 count Iron Cross before dropping those aching limbs.

The pax run down their side of the levee, complete 3 of the exercises, and run back up top to continue. There were 8 count BB, Burpees, and even some Catalina Wine Mixers!

    For the final 2 minutes, we did Quadraphilia AMRAP! Then return to the flag.

    Thank you for pushing me and making me better! SYITG!

  • Amnesia lives up to his name – from Amnesia

    Amnesia grabs the Q late Thursday night for me, but as Amnesia is named for his forgetfullness, he lives up to it by forgetting to write the backblast. He showed up to the A1C with his usual bike, but inside the cargo contained coupons. It was time for some circuit training. Each participant grabbed a block and performed various exercises at various counts (some 20, some 40). Like I said, it was Amnesia, and he forgets. Squat thrusts, man makers, curls, overhead presses, leg raises…it’s all a blur now on Sunday afternoon. We finished up with Mary, and named the new FNG: Indiana Jones, or Indiana for short. Nacho prayed us out, and I finally got to go to the official end of a Friday beatdown.

  • D-Day Tribute and Remembrance – from Fracsac

    11 Pax posted to the Renaissance on their journey to get right.
    A short history lesson was provided on the 5 beaches stormed on D-Day 77 years ago today, with Americans assigned to Utah and Omaha. With a shovel flag planted, disclaimer was given, then mosey for:

    Warmup

    SSH IC x 31
    GG IC x 10
    Abe Vigodas x 10
    Bat wings with AC, OC, SC, MNC
    Peter Parkers IC x 15

    Mosey to the grassy field and circle up:

    Count off and remember your number.

    13 x 8 count body builders IC

    Time for EMOM:
    6 rounds of 10 burpees, 1 round of 7 burpees
    Looks like we missed 77 total, so 10 more OYO for good measure.

    Embrace the Suck
    7 rounds of 7 reps each to commemorate the 77th anniversary:
    Bobby Hurley’s, Merkins, LBC

    Ring of Fire:
    10 squats, do Whacky Jacks while waiting.
    10 Bobby Hurleys, do Goofballs while waiting

    Mosey to tree line. Bear crawl to tree 1, 5 Merkins and run back. Bear crawl to tree 2, 5 Merkins and run back. Bear crawl to tree 3, 5 Merkins and run back.

    Circle up for mental challenge:

    Asked 2 pax for numbers, instructions were to SSH for first number IC, then SSH for second number in silence and stop with the Q. Penalty was 10 burpees. Spoiler alert, we did 10 burpees. Tried again, explaining that now with 100 burpees, there doesn’t have to be a penalty. We did 5 more burpees. We needed to get to the Sunday Mornings!

    Mosey to back of NOMA for Sunday Mornings!

  • Young Bloods @ the Renny – from Catfish

    Nice cool morning at the Renny with 9 PAX. Started in front of the museum facing the bacin with Abe Vigodas, Grass Grabbers, SSH, and 8-counts.

    Moved to fountain for some right leg power-ups, dips, left leg power-ups, and derkins. Got on faces for Peter Parkers and J-Los.

    Grabbed a round of 11s with jump squats and bonnie blairs (2 is 1), going from the fountain and bunny hopping up the museum steps. Then grabbed some nickels and dimes – one-minute rounds of 5 burpees, 10 hand-release merkins, SSH to finish the minute).

    Moseyed to the field for burpee suicides. Did four tree lengths with 5 burpees at the starting line, then concluded with 10 burpees.

    Back of museum for 5 rounds of Sunday Mornings (5 overhead claps in people’s chair, 10 donkey kicks, one balls-to-wall press).

    CoT, coffeeteria @ PJs. Well done PAX, and welcome to our FNGs HokieMon and King Prawn.

  • Burpees and Levees just feel right – from Fracsac

    5 Pax made a choice to take the DRP on their journey to get right and posted to the OG. YHC traveled way o’er yonder on the West Bank, wondering who would show following a late night of crypto talk. With a shovel flag planted, disclaimer was given, then:

    Warmup

    SSH IC x 31
    IW x 15
    GG IC x 10
    AC x 15, fwd and back
    Peter Parker IC x 15
    Mtn Climber IC x 15

    Mosey to the levee, which is incredibly steep! Start off with Jacob’s Ladder:

    Run up levee, 1 burpee, run back down
    Run up levee, 2 burpees, back down
    Continue up to 7 burpees
    That’s 28 burpees so far…

    Mosey to top of levee for some 11’s. There just happens to be 11 light posts, so can’t pass it up!

    Burpees is the exercise and broad jumps are the movement between posts. Start at 1, end at 11.
    That’s 66 more burpees….94 total thus far..

    With the mighty Mississippi River receding from the steps, take advantage and incorporate into the DirtyMacDeuce…

    4 rounds of 3 x 12 rep exercises, an arm, a leg and a core. Run a lap after each round. The lap was down the riverside levee, across the bottom, then back up.

    Round 1 – merkins, flutter kicks, squats
    Round 2 – Floyd Mayweathers, Hello Dolly, low slow squats
    Round 3 – Catalina Wine Mixers, Freddie Mercs, Bobby Hurleys
    Round 4 – Diamond Merkins, tin snips, and 12 Burpees

    That brings the burpee count to 106….

    Finish with a little Mary and Planking…..

    COT

    NMM

    -YHC committed to doing the OG the week prior. What a great group of Pax on the West Bank. Sign up and change your view of the city!
    -The late night crypto talk kept most in the fart sack, but not Vagabond, host of the gathering the night before! Well done!
