Warmorama Rapper’s Delight edition
The Thang: make our way from exercise pad near flag to exercise pad on David Dr. side using the path via alternating side shuffles, stopping at each bench for five burpees (Frac is a semantics stickler and informed us a picnic table is a picnic bench therefore a burpee station). Arriving at the exercise equipment, we assumed the following stations: pull ups, dips, leg press, incline bench, horizontal lat pull, rower, incline sit ups for tabata sets of AMRAP then rotate counterclockwise (a concept War Eagle’s millennial brain couldn’t follow, thus chaos ensued). Return to flag via same route, method as before. Frac was pleased he exceeded his RDA of burpees during a beatdown. Welcomed FNG, stroganoff, who is Glamper’s 15yo 2.0.

Charmin celebrates 3YO Daughter/Everyone Celebrates Hawg and SOGO’s Baby??? – from Bolt
Warmorama Rapper’s Delight edition with MNC/dancing by request plus bonus chinooks/reverse chinooks. The Thang: move between benches along running path toward David Dr. workout equipment via Q’s instructions (shuffle both directions, mosey, backward mosey, high knees, skip) stopping for 10 burpees, adjusting to 5 upon Charmin astutely realizing we’d never get to his half of the Q otherwise. Charmin sets the count on 10 BBSU while everyone does AMRAP: pull ups, leg press, incline bench, tricep dips, rows. Cycle through all stations and then complete the path loop, stopping at each light post for either 3 hillbillies or 3 IW OYO moseying between. Along this stretch we encountered what could only be described as the love child of Hawg and SOGO: congrats, it’s a girl, strong/shapely/sans shoes yet sporting a half tank top shrouded by a weighted vest. There then seemed to be a pep in all PAX step along with some mumblechatter but I digress. Upon return to the original workout equipment near the flag we circled up for a Charmin led baby maker to plank combo which began right after Charmin doled out three penalty burpees to Rev due to some underlying battle of faiths (did I mention its Charmin’s daughter”s third bday?), although it’s possibly because Rev ran away from us the whole workout—probably the Bolt soundtrack. Flag/COT. Honored to co-Q fine men!

A veritable Potpourri of Jambalaya – from Rudy
Up against the wildly popular Battle FrisBurpee scheduled at the Foundry, YHC was worried that he’d be working out alone. But lo and behold! 3 PAX emerged from the gloom to join him. Kenner Brah – welcome to El Diablo! Not sure he’s ever been here before, which put more pressure on YHC to make it memorable for our elder statesman. 530 – lets head to the rock pile with a mobile disclaimer, as YHC kept remembering a few more things to remind himself, PVC, Logo and KB.
At the rock pile, a quick warmup with some stretching, SSH and IW. Vagabond decided to make an appearance – better late than never!
Up to the tracks. YHC promised that he’d introduce Scantron-inspired balance stuff, and has consistently forgotten to follow through. This time I remembered. First some “face each other” balance, trying to get to, and hold, a squat position. Then a walk along the rails. Logo seemed to find a trick – get the center of gravity low. He was FLYING up and down the tracks!
Back to the pile, and grab a rock. Off to the field.
Route 66: Situps AND Merkins at each tree. Rifle carry the rock through the 11 stops. Vagabond finished well ahead of the group, so he got to do a Route 78.
Heart Rate: Push that heart rate up. 20 Curls. Sprint out and back (maybe 150 total?), then with the heart rate racing, get 5 burpees in. Rest until YHC heart rate (as reported by dreadfully faulty fitbit) got below 90. Rinse and repeat 3 times.
Playground: 5 stations. Burpees, Merkins, Situps, PullUps and Throw-the-rocks-over-the-fence (with good form, thank you KB for the reminder). Got 2 rounds in (10 burpees as the timer).
Return our friends, and get back to the flag 1 minute late.
COT: Prayers for KB and his wife and her health. Logo going through some transitions, needs all of our support and prayers (we got you, brother!).
Thanks all, SYITG!

NOT hum-drum at the Scrum – from Bolt
Undeterred by the debacle at El Diablo and Rudy’s relentless whining and razzing me, YHC committed to reset and revisit the focus on the upper chest: place your left index finger underneath the right side collar bone and thumb vertically in the middle of the sternum, raise right hand overhead and note the upper chest movement: that’s where the focus is.
Warmarama: Rapper’s Delight edition
Including MNCs and a few burpees for FracThe Thang: pair up, 3 stations: box jumps and step ups AMRAP with 10 dips being the timer.
5 upper chest exercises, 1 minute work/30 sec rest with a 10 rep target focusing on the area beneath collar bone/along sternum, while other two pair do legs/abs AMRAP
Rd. 1 Archer (thumbs at lower chest): Squats/LBCs
Rd. 2 Explosive: side lunge/BBS
Rd. 3 Diamond Inc. (touch pinkies at top): reverse lunge/penguins
Rd. 4 Pseudo Pike (hands at waist high): Bonnie Blairs/American hammers
Rd. 5 Plunge (wide grip): Rocky Balboas/crunchy frogsFinal refinement will include giving each chest move an F3-style name (one is definitely Rudy Booty) and limiting each beatdown to only one of the moves so it isn’t a total smoke fest. Feel free to watch the video and submit naming suggestions via mumblechatter. Grateful for all of u!

Sorry I missed Groovin’ with Tool- MOPS is 10!!!! – from Hokie
I was heard saying @ Sphinxster’s Crawfish boil, I was going to my 1st Swolefest to Groove with Tool this morning.

Football is Life – from Fracsac
5 pax, including 1 FNG, arrived at the Scrum looking to try out for the USF3L. One could smell the scent of competition hanging heavy in the air, sort of like rotting crawfish shells.
With the Shovel flag planted, a disclaimer was given, then a short mosey to a nice grassy area near the outdoor gym.Warmup consisted of the usual stuff, skipping the unnecessary stuff. But we did do MNC and dancing was encouraged!
Mosey to the open field:
Most of the world calls it football, but it’s soccer. We did a few different styles of offense vs defense and it was both fun and beneficial. We also knocked out 80 burpees. YHC was likely the worst player on the field.
Return to the warmup spot for a minute of stretching followed by a mosey to the flag for the COT.
Hawgcycle, Kennah Brah, YHC, Heisenberg and FNG Cyber Cajun all made the team! It was adult recess!!

Someone has been reading the Exicon – from Hokie
YHC showed up to The Scrum to a lone vehicle in the lot at 0620. Knowing the vehicle belonged to PVC, I texted the Q to ask if he was in route.
Minutes later, another vehicle showed up to a greeting from PVC saying, “Aren’t you the Q at Rock City?”
At that point, the 3rd vehicle left and I agreed to Q.
At 0627 Rev arrived and I verified it was ok if I took the Q.
At 0630 the disclaimer was given and we moved to the newly finished “gym” area to go through a Tabata with Apollo Creed Burpees, Bohemian Rhapsody, Speed Humpers, Bolt 45’s, Bear Holds, Angle Grinders, etc
At one point Rev questioned something to the effect, “so did you get bored and explore the Exicon?”
As we got ready to wrap up there was chatter I may finish sh 30 seconds early and Rev was overheard dictating his complaint to be filed with the Nan’ taan for being cheated out of his 30 seconds and requesting both a refund and a penalty of 1 burpee per second to be imposed upon the Q, but as fate would be generous, Revs watch read 0615 as we wrapped up.
Thank you for the fun this AM

Fog of the Scrum – from Mambi
Got a text from Kenna Brah asking if the YHC had the Q. He asked knowing YHC has been absent in the gloom for many weeks. With a quick one-word response YHC responded, YES! On the ride to the Scrum, the fog was thick with very little visibility. YHC’s next text was “going to be late.” YHC arrived at 5:30, gave the disclaimer, then moseyed to the main field.
YHC lead PAX in various warmups. Then instructed the PAX on the THANG.
The Sheldon Cooper
With the fog as thick as it was, YHC had to adjust the run.
10 burpees, 10 Squats, 10 Merkins, 10 Squats. Run to the fence about 120 yards and back. Then 9, 9, 9, 9 of same. Count down to 1.
As the “6” (which was YHC) was completing the final rounds the rest of the PAX was doing random Mary.
Once YHC completed his last round PAX Circled up for RING OF FIRE.
3 rounds – Hold the Al Gore with 10 Squats
3 rounds – Hold a plank with 10 Merkins
Moseyed back to the Flag
COT:
