  • Saints / Packers Beatdown Commemoration – from Landing Strip

    In honor of the thing of beauty that was yesterday’s Saints “home opener” vs. the Packers, the PAX performed a game-themed workout with high efficiency. The cadence of each exercise was tied to a key stat.

    Warmup
    First we moseyed to the front of Tulane’s campus and did SSHs (50 – O/U) and burpees (3 – spread (to GB)).

    Tha Thing
    We then moseyed to the base of the Loyola Rec Plex garage where we Cleveland Guardian-ran to the top. Finding our usual stairwells filled with HVAC tubing, we ran up and down a spacious, brick-paved and fully air conditioned stairwell after performing each one of the following exercises:
    -LBCs (171 – rushing yards (modified to 100))
    -Merkins (22 – first downs)
    -Dying roaches (60 – total plays)
    -Burpees (3 – turnovers)

    We then moseyed to the base of WPM and again Guardian-ran to the top. From there, we did more exercises and up-downs, this time in smelly, cramped, un-air conditioned stairs:
    -Shoulder taps (39 – total rushes)
    -J-Los (34 – time of possession)
    -8 count body builders (2 – INTs)
    -Burpees (2 – sacks)

    We then moseyed back to the flag for a final set of 20 low country crabs, in honor of starting QB Jameis WInston’s feast on a W yesterday!

  • Go West–ward Ho, Young Man – from Bolt

    Among a sea of bucket trucks 5 F3 pax welcomed FNG, Flav-A-flav, in true NOLA style with representation from Uptown, Lakeview, KennA, and the Ridge

    Warmup IC: SSH (32), Abe SLOWgodas, arm circles forward/back, tclaps, overhead claps, self love (all 20x); Toy soldiers, (15x)

    The thang—DORA: merkins, squats, plank jump (bear crawl out/crab walk back for switch)

    What’s the reward for finishing DORA, waiting on the six you ask: plank and wait?SSH? Recover? NONSENSE! Take a 20 count and let the deca die of pain dictate your fate. YHC was the six so I’m unable to chronicle the exact exercise sequences of the almighty die and I can confirm there were considerable muffled groans and calls for re-rolls due to the same misery coming up twice and probably some numeric modifications. I’ll consult with the deca die to confirm.

    Finish with Mary: dying cockroaches, LBCs, penguins on YHC’s count which was basically following versus of Zac Brown’s “Toes” rather than an actual number and I’m unsure the Pax caught on although I knew they knew something was up when their rep count kept jumping up by doubles, triples, tens, etc. Close out with stretching for those of us getting back into the swing post-pandurrication and coming off injuries. Close out with COT…until next time.

  • Your Krewe is Always Backing you Up! – from Sea Man

    Ahab had his whale! But he was alone! Today we had a krewe show up to avenge our friends death to the man eating jaguar shark of Lake Ponchetrain! Today 15 brave, strapping, and strong men jumped into the water to avenge our lost pax! A 4x increase over last week!

    We searched for the man eater at all levels and went up and down the ladder!
    Laps of 25M, 50M, 75M, 100M, 75M, 50M, and 25M. Between each lap the pax did Squats and Flutter kicks of increasing reps.

    After an arduous search we spent some time with a lap of Shuffle Board (10lbs weight moved only underwater to and fro 50m)

    With time left we proceeded to end the. morning with Ring of Fire. Two 10lbs weights moving around the circle in opposite directions, 10 reps each arm. Once complete Pax continued to tread water passing the medicine ball around.

    One FNG called Sheep’s Head!

    As sight Q I think all future FNG’s at Zissou should be named after fish.

  • Chancun… no passports needed – from King Kong

    I told Yankee that I will take the Q this Wednesday in honor of me missing my Cancun trip due to Covid Delta Variant.

    11 PAX showed up this muggy morning. First stop – short mosey to the fountain by Audubon Zoo, where we did the following warmups: SSH x 20, Ankle Grabbers x 10, Lunges x 10, Self Love x 10. The fountain reminds me hanging out by the resort pool with a margarita… but that didn’t happen.

    Next stop – moseyed to the main entrance of Audubon Zoo. I told the PAX that I hate to be rushed and running around on my vacation. I like to relax and stay put. So today’s focus is to stay in one place and work on our forms. So we did everything in cadence:

    Round 1
    20 SSH
    20 Air Squats
    15 High Knees
    20 Lunges
    30 seconds Rocky Balboa
    30 seconds Al Gore
    5 Burpees
    20 Crunches
    10 Merkins

    Round 2
    20 SSH
    15 American Hammers
    15 High Knees
    20 Lunges
    20 Shoulder Taps
    10 Burpees
    20 Mountain Climbers
    20 Jump Squats

    Short walk to the parking lot in front of the Zoo. We picked a great view on the beach and did 11’s. Start off one side with 10 jump squats and 1 hand-released merkin on the other side. Bear-Crawl in between. After 2 rounds of 11’s, Q noticed there were a lot of small pebbles / rocks on the beach hurting our hands…. therefore, we changed it to lunges and bunny hops in between instead of crawling. Next time, I will pick a different beach (maybe less of a view with soft sand).

    Finished the workout with a Round of Chancun, which included few exercises in Superman position. Moseyed back to the flag with some coconut water waiting for us before the COT.

    I am always grateful and thankful to be able to workout with you PAX on a regular basis. I hope to do this for a very long time.

  • 8-Count EVERYTHING? Some proof of concept. – from Catfish

    Sultry morning with four PAX (and Rudy, who was running somewhere in the park during all the fun). Started with a mosey around the great lawn with some high knees, butt kicks, side steps (high and low), karaoke, etc. Moved into the lawn and formed a goodly square for:

Exercises were burpees and 8-counts, with a bonus of 5 jump squats whenever PAX crossed midfield. Finished up with some LBCs on the sidelines once everyone was done.

    Moseyed over to the steps on the side of the museum for:

  • Glorious Return to WPM – from Fracsac

    26 Pax made a choice to take the DRP on their journey to get right and posted to The Legendary Wolf Pack Mountain to see what YHC had on the beat down menu. With a shovel flag planted, disclaimer was given, then:

    Mosey over to the Rosy Palm Court and circle up for a warmup:

    IW IC x 15
    Abe Vigodas x 10
    Grass Grabbers x 10
    Bat wings AC, SC, OH, MNC (dancing encouraged)
    Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10

    Count off and pax instructed to remember their number. Then count 1,2,1,2….

    Mosey to the mountain…

    Two columns, hence the 1 and 2 count. Run to the top of the mountain with last pax sprinting to front all the way up.

    Once on top, take the stairs back down to level 4.

    Burpee broad jump the short side of level 4, then bear crawl the long way.

    Head back up the mountain, with quadraphilia on the inclines and sprints on the straight aways, all OYO.

    Circle up on the top for a mental test. The Q has the pax recall their number, then combines the numbers in some fashion for SSH. The instructions are clear: execute SSH IC up to the first number followed by SSH in silence and completing together, with the Q being the cadence to follow. Failure to follow instructions results in a penalty.
    Spoiler alert: there were penalties.
    Penalty 1 – Heisenberg Seal burpees x 10 (burpee with 2 Merkins)
    Penalty 2 – Heisenberg Seal burpees x 15
    Penalty 3 – Sprint to far wall and back and do 10 burpees.
    The 4th time the Pax got it, sort of.
    Time for one set of Tin Snips IC x 20.

    Return to the flag for COT

    NMM

    – YHC hasn’t done WPM in a while, and wow! What a rockin’ AO!
    – The uptown crowd was surprisingly quiet today, minimal Mumblechatter going on.
    – There’s a rumor going around about doing burpees even if the pax were in perfect sync. I cannot confirm nor deny this rumor, except to encourage the pax to continue to reach for perfection.
    – Coffeteria was awesome and well attended.
    – Thanks for allowing me to be part of such an incredible group of men, and for gifting me the opportunity to lead.
