  • Well, I have one and you have one, plus he has one!! – from Shooter

    Well the beatdown developed just that quickly.
    After a quick warmup of 10IC arm circles, Cherry pickers, good mornings, toe touches, Imperial walkers, snap krackle pops and 3 laps around the top of the garage. I showed the PAX a ruck plate and quickly Hogsbreath and Jose10k both stated I have one.. Jose10k was a little disappointed with his 20 pounder, while hogsbreath had our middle of the road 25 pounder and of course YHC had the 30 pounder. Only thing that was off was my count on the number of PAX. For whatever reason YHC thought we had 6 but indeed we only had 5, but it all worked out. We did 3 rounds of Squat thrusters, shoulder press, kettle swings, single arm swings, squats, chest press, straight arm extensions, chin extensions and lat pulls. Mixed in some Carioca, back pedals and sprints along with some moseying.
    Finished with 10IC Flutter curbs, Hello Dolly curbs, ETKs and Little Manny crunches..

    Wrapped up with announcements, COT and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Ruckers Unite – from Jose10k

    Some ran , some ran faster, some rucked , some rucked faster. Intentions for Coachella

  • Snatch those Mahi Mahi’s at the Pink Taco Stand Before Heading Down For Your Box Lunch – from Steve

    Much like getting stock tips from Celeste and Lisa, witnessing Jose & Shooter scissoring with wild abandon, or even stumbling across an unofficial poll hand-scrawled across the stage’s concrete walls that somehow deems height a more desirable trait than personality (c’mon!) – there are certain events at Granny’s that require careful preservation.

    Unfortunately, that ain’t happening today. This event is already two weeks old, and sadly, I just don’t have the steel trap that Hammer and Jose possess.

    What I can remember:

    There was a lot of talk of reruns. Bush had insulted Jose the day before at the Marsh, and then on this fine morning decided to both rehash his argument and dig in a little deeper. It wasn’t pretty.

    It’s also possible that aside from the insults, the beatdown itself was (claps hands) i-dentical. As Jose always says, we’d know if we ever wrote backblasts.

    And then, of course, there was the titular, off-color comment (again, Bush – he was on a roll this morning) that started it all. It unfortunately can’t be repeated here, but let’s just say that it involved Jose enjoying mahi mahi tacos not just on vacation but at home also.

    Anyway, I guess my grandpa was right when he told me that age is no guarantee of maturity.

    Thank you gents (& Bushwacker) for the post and for the laughs.

    ** As I was trying to find a title for this backblast, it occurred to me what a missed opportunity this was that Jose’s 14-year-old students didn’t get to have a crack at this BB.

    *** Russo, if you’re reading this, we miss you brother!

  • What’s this workout???? You’re Will to Live – from Einstein

    Einstein, Moby and Hogs Breath all took the pill and got out of our fart sacks to show up at the Gipper .

    As we entertained ourselves prior to the scheduled beat down time, Einstein stated, no one had the queue, so we began a round robin. Each Pax picked an exercise and began, normally to a count of 10. Hogs breath threw in a few funky things “Persian gods” which began in a squat and rotating the upper body to the side of the front leg, to a count of four just like facing the Persian gods to the east . Another good one was mountain man poopers, always a hit!

    After about 10 minutes of a warm-up, Einstein suggested blocks. We mosey’d to the coupon pile. Hogs breath had everyone pick a block and run over to the A1C. Backpedaling up the parking garage ramps. Some coupon work went on for about 10 minutes at one point Moby asked “what does this work?”
    The response came back “your calves, stamina, and will to live…”
    We returned the coupons back to their pile and finished off with a round of Mary, going one minute over the time!

  • 75 is the new 40 – from Mobydick

    Cool and cloudy making for a good sweaty challenge. After a good warmup of ssh torso twists arm circles windmills good mornings grass grabbers calf raises cherry pickers it’s off to the first of four corners. Corner 1 is 20 freak nasties karaoke to corner 2 for 20 sumo squats back peddle (100 yards) to corner three for 20 big boys lunge to corner 4 for 20 merkins then side Lu ge 50yards turn and 50 more. Round two rinse and repeat only now it’s 25 reps. Third round is 30 reps. That adds up to YHC favorite number 75. Cap that off with 100 yard sprint to try to beat the old guy. They did but not by much. Back to the flag and finish with 5 minutes of stretch lead by BBQ the stretch master. COT and the old guy prayed us out.

  • 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.
