  • Uptown Buttercups

    It was a lovely morning for 20 men to meet in the gloom to grow and improve themselves.  DISCLAIMER!  Let’s mosey… circle up in front of the Tulane sign:

    -SSH x 30 IC

    -IW x 30 IC

    -Mt Climbers x 30 IC

    -Arm Circles x 30 IC (ea dir)

    -J-Lo’s x 20 IC

    Let’s head to the bottom of the mountain.  Column of twos and Indian Run to the top.  It’s time to bring 11’s back…we just don’t do them anymore.  On your own, run to the bottom of the incline, do 10 crossfit merkins, run back up and do 1 WWII sit-ups…run back down and do 9 crossfit merkins, run back up for 2 WWII sit-ups, and keep going until reversed.  After a couple of the young studs finished and planked, the rest of us stopped where we were and headed down the mountain to the lawn in front of touchdown Jesus for some Mary.

    Plank Challenge: Front plank 1 minute, Low plank 30 secs, low plank left leg up 30 secs, low plank right leg up 30 secs, left arm up plank 30 secs, right arm up plank 30 secs, low plank 30 secs, front plank 1 minute.

    That was fun and we still have time for more Mary:

    -LBC x 20 IC

    -Flutter kicks x 20 IC

    -Hello Dolly’s x 20 IC

    -Wife Pleasers x 20 IC

    Hurry up to the SF so we’re not late and RY chews us out….coutoff, namerama, announcements, shoutouts and a prayer.  Welcome FNG-Shanewego.   It was a pleasure to lead.  I look forward to the next time.

    HEY UPTOWN!  SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP!!!

  • Lundi Gras Lap

    16 PAX for a Lundi Gras stroll uptown at the Skinny.  It’s Monday so you know that means a lap.  A guaranteed 1.7 miles.

    Thought I might be alone on Lundi Gras but we had another huge PAX.

    Bartman was the Q but got the text looking for backup since he was out of town.  I was in coverage mode.

    First –  we started our loop and pulled over for a quick circle.  SSH x 20,  Imp Walker squats x 20, Morning glory x 20, and Mtn Climbers x 20

    Prisoner Mosey to the Rows.

    Rows x 20 that was the count.   Then we did Plank Jack Station, Squat station and a LBC station.

    Mosey by sprint a running man and jog a running man to the bridge on the left.

    Here we circled for Jack Webb to 10.

    Then we sprinted a long run to the fountain. Incline Merks to wait.

    Dips x 20

    Then group 1 Bear Crawl around the fountain  Group 2 step ups

    Flip flop

    Indian Run to the Pull ups – Made the faster guys circle back for us.

    Then we got the bar for Pull ups x 10

    The rest of the gang did Plank Jacks, Plack walks and squats.

    Finally we ran the golf cart path to the FLAG.

    I got admonished for arriving 2 min late – my apologies men.

    Thanks for getting my toxic body out of bed – you rule!

     

  • That’s Right, One More Time…

    Pre Thang: YHC arrived a little early in case the rumors were true and it would be necessary to work out the logistics of dragging around a news crew, but alas they never showed up…  However, the pax seemed to never stop coming. At 05:30, after the disclaimer we moseyed out and around to the front of TU where the last of 23 pax joined us.

    The Thang: Warmup COP– SSH, Mtn Climber, Imp Walker, Peter Parker x 25 and 10 Burpees OYO. Mosey to WPM.

    BLIMPS to the top — Stop at each level : 5 Burpees, 10 Lunges each leg, 15 Imp Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks, 30 Squats. Plank and wait at the top. Mosey down the stairs. Since it was ground hog day, as an homage to the movie of the same name,  we did it all over again. #crowdpleaser At the top we did 6 minutes of Mary: RT, Hello Dolly, Real Freddie, Flutter Kick x 20, LBC x 25. Mosey back to the flag for COT w shoutout by YHC.

    Welcome FNG’s I Love You Man and Medulla Oblongata!

    Good Times!
