  • Milestone marsh – from Waterpik

    Mosey to lakefront stopping at each intersection. Exercises (sets of 5) were
    Burpees, Peter Parker’s, crunchy frogs, Bobby Hurleys, stone mountains. Rinse and repeat to the lakefront and back.

    Have a good week guys.

  • Fall Back, Spring Ahead! – from The Hammer

    We lost an hour of sleep, and hour of morning light. It was dark, chilly, and a bit eerie at the playground this morning.
    Sounds like a solid beatdown at the marsh
    Warmups- Apparently there was a switch with the Q. Akbar had it originally, but the hammer chose to take over. SSH, self love, grass grabbers, imperial walkers, toe touches, etc…
    A beatdown of epic proportions.— upper body overload thanks to Hammer!
    First, Five rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 merkins, and 15 squats.
    2nd- mosey to the street to begin our trip to the lake front.We stopped at every other stop sign with merkins and core work Classic Hammer move ignoring the legs, continuing the upper body trauma from Waterpik, huh? And then finishing it off with dirkens, sit-ups, LBCs, and irkens at the lakefront..

    There was some good mumble chatter too. Hogsbreath on the job hunt, Hammer’s Houston museum trip, and Wicked going full primal mode for his track event — except he wanted to go no shirt, no drag, just speed. Upset that he had to wear his tank top, complaining that it only slows him down. Love it. Poor Jose, though, four and a half days of work… rough life. At least he only has 49.5 work days left until Summer break, 30 days until Spring Break. Damn, he doesn’t work much…

    What’s the next workout plan looking like? You hitting it again soon or resting those arms a bit?

    The Q sheet is open, the workouts are free, EH some new blood, headlock some brothers who haven’t shown up in awhile.

  • Runners, Ruckers and a Tweener!! – from Shooter

    With excellent conditions of 55 degree weather 8 HIMs embarked on the Scramble. Some early some on time and of course there is Cowbell right after rolling in hot. One needs to recognize the consistency picking up right where he left off from his F3 break while he shifted to straight running. PAX completed a few warmups of Torso twists, grass grabbers, Butt kicks, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies and Good Mornings. Instructions 20 out and back for the Ruckers and the Shooter route down W Causeway approach zig zagging back to the AO. Upon return completed some stretches and wrapped up..

    Appreciate the post and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Rinse and Repeat Time in Tension – from Mobydick

    Einstein was to Q today but had to demure due to ill health. Our best to him but the show must go on. Yours truly won the toss and Hawgs Breath and I reprise last weeks Time in Tension. Fit without sweat. A good slow full stretch series followed by sets of 5 alternating everything from merkins to squats done in slow motion. If you haven’t tried it it harder than you might think. A good after feeling of having done a lot more than it would appear.

  • Time in Tension – from Mobydick

    I have been introduced to the concept of time in tension over reps. Lots of workout stress number of reps done real fast so we can brag about how many we do. When we do them real fast form goes out the window along with full extension, control and benefits of gravity resistance. After an extended stretching series the pax was challenge to a series of the usual merkins squats lunges sit-ups leg lifts plank etc only this time to a s l o w count if 6 down and a s l o w 6 count up. There were only 5 reps of each exercise but it took a minute or more to do each one. The 5th rep of a merkin or a plank done this way started to feel really long. End result more muscles got used. Control and form just happened and a pumped up feeling afterwards assured a real workout just happened in 30 minutes of tension time.

  • Misty Mornings – from Hogs Breath

    Hogs breath showed up to a crisp, cold, and wet morning at the 007. Bit seeing any other light, he proceeded to a solo workout. Dodging puddles for a slow mosey around heritage with some Mary underneath the picnic pavilion.

  • One Pax in a Pear Tree – from Hogs Breath

    YHC arrive at the 007 brightly lit up or Slidell Bayou Christmas!

    Yhc was the only one that showed, so he took advantage to get a beatdown while looking at the Christmas lights!

    Yhc warmed up with a mosey around the circle followed by some sprinst through the lighted Christmas tunnel. A few rounds Jack Webb and some more moseying’

    Papa Noel will be there Monday the 23rd!

  • Last Q of the week, let’s take it easy, wait, who’s that coming up the ramp? – from Jose10k

    Long week, 2 5ks yesterday, YHC was ready for some Yoga and stretching with Moby. Something simple and light. Then headlights appeared at the bottom of the ramp, Hogsbreath from Slidell came out here to join the group. I get it, no one goes to the Slash Pad anymore. Quarter pipe has to be paid to post. YHC had to make up a better plan for the new arrival. Good warmup then to the thang. Down to the first floor where we ducked into the covered walkway for 10 minutes of core. Calf raises up the stairs (2each step). 4 corners at top. 10 merkins each corner, back peddle halfway, run the rest. 20 sumo squats and the same in between. Lt Dan up and back to finish off. COT and Hogsbreath prayed us out. My week of Qing is officially done. Bird has the cold, birthday Q tomorrow. SYITG
