With that quote from Mayhem, we clearly had different goals in the gloom yet we shared the win against the battle of 15 degrees, seeking improvement.

Pinewood+6 AARP Members – from Bolt
Apparently AARP is so misguided that they think 50 years olds can retire or they’ve expanded their demographic to include our latest RESPECT entrant, Boo-boo, who was one of 6 AARP targets to be joined by a lone participant from Camp Hate—Pinewood.
Warmorama including a KennaBrah-inspired combo: Good Morning MMP (8-count: GM straight into a MMP) along with the usuals plus Tie Fighters followed by mosey to rock pile for medium rocks. Frac got to call out “Kaopectate” thanks to the requisite warm up song.
The Thang
25 Reps/exercise
2 Rounds IC
OH press/OH press
Squats/Calf raises
Curls/Curls
Rows/Rows
Tricep press/Dips
Chest Press/MerkinsThere were immediate calls for Rudy to be there to illuminate the minimal chaos that ensued…back on track. We returned he rocks and finished with 6MOM. Back to flag.

7 Rounds of Suck – from Boo-Boo
YHC accepted the subtle challenge from @bolt to take the Q on the condition @bolt provide the music. YHC arrived to a cluster of anxious PAX blustery 78 degrees with 98% humidity, with 30 seconds to spare.
Slowsey to the warmup pad for the @bolt traditional Rapper’s Delight, when out of the gloom appears @fracsac with a competing speaker playing his favorite warmup song, “Let’s Get Physical.” He muted his song just in time for his favorite part of Rapper’s Delight, “Kaopectate!” What was more shocking is @fracsac had the option to skip Rapper’s Delight in exchange for 25 burpees but did not!
The warm-up consisted of typical warmup activities such as Arm Circles, Self Love, Abe Slowgotas, Grass Grabbers, Mountain Man Poopers with a Good Morning, Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, and 5 burpees.
Mosey to JPAS for a little HIIT. PAX completed 7 rounds of aggressively executing the following, with a one-minute break between rounds:
15 Box Jumps
15 V-ups
15 Mountain Climbers (2 is 1)
15 Freddie Mercurys (2 is 1)
15 Merkins
Run up the stairs and back down the rampMosey back to the flag just in time.
COT
Thanks for the push @bolt. Boo-Boo out!

Logo, Welcome Back Kotter – from Bolt
Logo committed to return to the gloom after several weeks of YHC’s outreach and his come to Jesus the night before the final text. Four other pax HC to join us for a Kotter and the commitment was to craft a BD that’s easily modified.

The Thang: 10 burpee EMOM for 5 minutes (duh, it is STILL MABA). Then time for BLIMPS, adding 5 reps for each letter at each light pole. Mahatma was displeased with the pace of our return to starting pole and skipped a song: you know the cost.5 MOM along with a ring of fire type Al Gore for time until all pax tap out (nice job Space Cowboy for 1:32) one round of decadie of pain: one minute wall sit plus 15 Bobby Hurleys.

Monday Monday, Can’t trust that day – from Kenna Brah
An odd assortment of PAX showed up in numbers to imbibe of what YHC had for them.

Doing anything BUT SSH.
Upper Body twisters
Imperial Squat Walker Squat
Self Love
Mountain Man Pooper + Good MorningThe stated goal was to not let go of the rock all through this session:
Starting at Rear of Football End Zone field , walk 10 yards, stop then do the following with the rock:5 Man makers
10 Curls
15 OHP
20 Rows
25 Chest PressReach the 50 yd line, return to the start and repeat.
The whole PAX got at least 2 rounds in, then we joined together for some coordinated sumo squats, then back to the pile for some Mary, then back to flag for COT.

Ouch! – from Fast Tax
Friday, March 17, 2023
Thirteen PAX heeded the Game Day call at the Uptowner.After dispensing with the disclaimer, we moseyed to the field to begin warmups.
Warmups were a sprinkle of typical Uptowner fare:
Abe Vagodas
Peter Parker
Mountain Climbers
Hairy Rockettes
Toy SoldiersSufficiently warmed, we ran to the far end zone to begin our workout with a little Captain Thor– An ab exercise done in a 1:4 ratio OYO, 1 big boy sit up to 4 American Hammers.
Next up was the Quarter Pounder.
Lined up on the goal line, PAX performs each of the steps below ending each by running backwards back to the goal line.
Sprint 25 yds and do 25 merkins,
Sprint 50 yds and do 50 BBS
Sprint 75 yds and do 75 squats
Sprint 100 yds and do 100 Mountain ClimbersDue to game time constraints, YHC called it after we consumed ¾ of the Qtr Pounder.
Battle Frisburpee time!
