  • Coupon for a Sprint – from Hogs Breath

    Two of us meet at the 007. The December weather was nice and balmy.

    Today was a rather simple, but effective workout! We first mosey’d to grab some
    Coupons

    The warm up
    Good mornings, inchworms, grass grabbers, mountain man poopers, and SSH!

    The Thang
    -15 coupon curls
    -sprint a little ways

    -20 OH press
    -sprint a little farther

    -20 chest presses
    -sprint some more

    Do you see the pattern yet? After each sprint we’d increase the distance. We slow mosey’d between each sprint session to lower our heart rates.

    Coupon exercises included
    – tricep extensions
    – Squats
    – Cal raises
    – Bent over rows
    – Curls [again]
    – OH press [again]
    – Chest press [again]

    Ended with COT and Coffeeteria.

  • Which was older first: Metairie or Mandeville? – from Russo

    High 60s and humid again at Granny’s, where a Pax of 6 converged to attempt to answer the age-old question: when does something get to be “old”?

    Warmup (10-20x all IC)
    – Sealjacks
    – Toe touches
    – Cherry pickers
    – Grass grabbers
    – Arm circles
    – Self love

    Thang
    Mosey around Old Mandeville, stopping at the streetlights for one exercise, including:

    Squats (20)
    Freak Nastys (20)
    SMCs (10)
    Imperial squat walkers (10)
    Merkins (20)

    Once we hit the sea wall, it was:

    – Durkins 10
    – Step ups 10 each leg
    – Freak Nastys 20
    – Bulgarian split squats 10 each leg
    – Box jumps 5

    Mosey over to Rips for 8 minutes of alternating 20 rocky balboas (2 is 1) and up/down steps

    Mosey back was much the same, with some backpedaling thrown in for good measure.

    Back home, 3 calf raises on each step of the pilot house and a bear crawl down the length of the columns wrapped up the beatdown.

    COT, Name-o-Rama, announcements, and prayer closed us.

    Announcements included Hammer’s Bible Study tomorrow, HogsBreath’s Navy – Army game watching on Saturday, and Grundy’s Nightmare on Sunday. Slack as always will have more info.

    Thank you fine folks for joining and/or reading. SYITG

  • Black Friday shopping – from Jose10k

    Okay, I’ll be honest, between Einsteins skater workout on Wednesday and the Turkey Trot yesterday, yhc legs were at bit jello. So our Black Friday shopping spree involved mostly upper body. Following a nice warm up of various stretches and exercises, we lined up for our Friday deals. First, we brought the coupons to add to the money saving opportunities. We had alternate merkins, rows, and curls for those customers waiting in line, while shopper 1 made a loop around the store in whatever fashion they choose. Most picked a light jog around, some skipped, back peddled, sprinted, and when I say some, I mean just hogs breath. 4 rounds of that, fireman carry your coupon back to the gipper, followed by a slow walk back to the top. Cot, Hog prayed us out. Syitg gentlemen!

  • Christmas Decoration Mayhem – from Pass Interference

    Arriving at The 007, the city of Slidell had began decorating for Christmas and put up a drive thru display, directly in front of the restrooms (the normally shovel flag location. Pass Interference and Hogs Breath thus parked in front of the boat ramp.

    The duo quickly decided to Co-Q and created an on the fly beatdown.
    Warming up with some Copperhead Squats and a Motivator round. The Thang consisted of a deck of death, some coupon mosey, a few sprints and lunge walks. A fun time was had by all!
    Ended with a COT and Coffeeteria at Starbucks

  • If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe I’d been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? – from Jose10k

    6 crazy HIM braved the cold weather this morning to join for a wacky 90s inspired musical. I reached out to the Mandvillians, and they didn’t disappoint. We even were blessed by a wonderer from Slidell. Warm-ups: SSH, self love, grass grabbers, cherry pickers, torso twists, hello jacks hello jills, and high knees all IC TEN count.

    The thang: First song: Cotton Eye Joe as promised. A very Hammer inspired workout to this song. SSH during the song while doing a burpee every time Cotton Eye Joe was mentioned. After that was done, switched the music to a little classic rock, to do a little modified dora. Partner 1 back pedaled halfway across the parking garage, the ran the rest to the other side. Back pedaled half way again, then ran back to the starting point. Then partner two did the same. Each partner had to complete 100 crunches and 200 squats. They got to tag team to do 300 merkins. We circled up to do 10 minutes of Mary, round robin style. Each person called out their own exercise. The music included Aqua’s “Barbie girl”, Haddaway’s “What is Love”. A great selection of 90s classic music. COT and Hammer led us out in prayer. Thank y’all for letting me lead on this chilly morning. I am better because of my brothers. SYITG

  • Solo one this morning – from Hogs Breath

    “Come one, come all….”

    Expecting a crisp chill and a fall scent to the air YHC awoke instead to a muggy and swampy fall morning. Arriving 5 mins early YHC planted a shovel fall.
    Precisely at the stroke of 0530, YHC gave himself the disclaimer and welcome and began;

    The warm up;
    A 40 yard inch worm
    Some mountain man poopers
    Some grass grabbers
    Hip swings

    The Thang

    Began with a Motivator – a single count from 10 down to one: 10 SSH, 10 star SSH, 10 leg on sly SSH, 10 in place bunny hops. Then immediately 9 of each, 8….etc

    Followed by a 90 sec alternating sprint / deck of death.

    Several good prospects for EH, as the sun began rising (due to the shift from Daylight savings to Standard time)

    Much like any good Bond flick,YHC told himself
    “….will return again…..” as he rounded out his morning beatdown prepared and fresh for the day!

  • Up and down with the deck of cards – from BBQ

    A strong 5 arrived. Multiple and usual warm ups. Of course I botched the count on a couple. A warm up lap around the top deck. The deck of cards came out. Each suit had an exercise and each card represented the # of exercises, 2 thru 14. The 4 exercises were hand release merkins, copperhead squats, gas pumps and LBC’s. LBC’s were double the card. After each rep we directly stood up from sitting on the pavement to standing up. Using no hands. Or at least we tried. It took some warm up. I do not recall the name of this type of stand up squat. I did them at beat down in St Louis. The one joker was a one star jump every third line across the top deck parking spots. We finished the deck of cards. Nameorama and prayed out. Another great start of the day at the A1C!

  • F3 Wars Episode 6; The Return of Hogs Breath – from Hogs Breath

    On 09 October a cryptic message got sent out on Slack boding of important news. Hogs Breath had returned and would even Q!
    28 weeks, well actually 201 days had passed since this lad had graced us with his presence. In Thailand he was deployed with the Navy.
    YHC came strolling in the mild gloom. Cool fall weather greeted him. Seven months is a long time, he was interest in wanting to plant a flag. However, the shovel flag remained in the trunk of his cheap old beater-car. He was away so long, the trunk would not even open!
    Two showed up to join YHC in beating down our bodies.
    The Warmup
    Despite being flagless we began with some Toy soldiers and Hip Openors in cadence. Then for distance we performed some Inch Worms and Butt Kicks / High Knees.
    The Thing
    YHC has let cardio go by the way of the DoDo. So we Mosey’d to pull ups AMRAP and remembered that number. We then Mosey’d to some coupons and returned to the playground. We preformed a workout inspired by Chris Hemsworth preparation for the last Thor movie.
    10x
    • Bicep Curls
    • OH Press
    • Tricep Extensions
    • Squats
    • Bent Over Row
    • Twist hugging our coupons
    • Chest Press
    In between each round we would mosey back to pull-ups and preformed a descending ladder on our max AMRAP (50%, 25%, 25%, amrap….)
    Lather, rinse, repeat for a total of 5 rounds.
    We then meandered a long way to return the coupons. YHC had a few mins of Mary. And the real closer was 28 Burpee’s based upon the 28 weeks YHC had been departed.

    During our beatdown the mumblechatter was spent on catching up and all the activities we have such missed!

    So even thought the title was Star Wars, the beatdown Marvel, really your Q was just humbled to be back!

  • Hogs Breath Last Stand – from Hogs Breath

    This was YHC last Q before I left out for a six month deployment. YHC meant to give a much more advance notice, but alas I didn’t send out a slack notification till Sunday night at about 5:30pm. So I was not expecting a decent turnout as I pulled into Heritage park [The 007] at 5:20am Monday. However, I was pleasantly shocked as I saw a gaggle of Northshore and Southshore pax already waiting on me!
    As I planted the shovel-flag I welcomed everyone and explained the 007 got it’s name from “Live and Let Die” James Bond movie, which had a boat chase filmed on adjacent Bayou Bonfouca.

    Disclaimer: Given

    Warm Up
    We began right off the back with a “Waterfalls Tunderstruck” all the pax formed a circle of pain around the shovel-flag and began SSH of Imperial Walkers. YHC turned on AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” and upon the first ‘thunder’ began to do burpee’s. Once the next ‘thunder’ was sung the pax to the right began burpee’s. This repeated in a waterfall fashion. Unfortunately Fletch, Einstein, and Pass Interference all got stuck doing burpee’s during the long instrumental breaks!
    To stretch our backs out we then did 8 IC Abe Vigoda

    The Thang
    Mosey to the coupons,
    We then did a coupon exercise completely made up on the spot! A row, a curl, an overhead press, then a squat for 1 rep. We then did 8, despite Hokie claiming that YHC had “pissed someone off….”
    Then mosey with our coupons to the playground, where we did 8 of the above ‘crazy eight’ then 8 pull-ups. YHC said to do 3 rounds of this, but got a little over-zealous and lost count, so YHC alone did an extra set of pull ups.

    Then we did a coupon walk to show off all the 007 has to offer. We walked along the water’s edge to the West towards Palmettos restaurant. YHC said upon every bench we would do 3 weighted step-ups. And at every “cleat” we would do 3 squats. But no-one spoke nautical so we didn’t understand what dock cleats were… and there are no actual dock cleats instead boats are expected to moor up directly to the pylons. So YHC would just randomly call out squats at various landmarks, whether it be a BBQ grill, a light post, a corner of the sidewalk. The walk provided for lots of mumblechatter and for Murdock to get to know many of the other paxs.
    Upon the round-trip coupon walk, we dropped the coupons back to their resting place.
    With only 5 mins left, we normally would preform some Mary. However, wanting to showcase the AO, YHC had everyone preform a series of bearcrawls / backward runs around the circular sidewalk in front of the amphitheater. The benches would be the marker for the bearcrawl or the backward run.
    Completed at the shovelflag

    Ended with COT and Coffeteria at Starbucks.

    Gentlemen, it has been a true honor to beat myself down with y’all. This is an amazing organization which I will truly miss for the next six months. Y’all have kept my sanity during these last few years. All the way to Coffeteria where I received numerous offers to help out my family while I’m away, I am humbled it be amongst the shadows of such great men!
