  • Love Rocks! – from MacGyver

    Love rocks

    With romance on their mind, 6 pax showed to Rock City on a chilly Monday morning ready to start the week in the best way. Disclaimer was provided by the Q and they were off to the races with
    30x SSH, 10x Abe Vigotas, 15x Imperial Walkers, then we moseyed to the rock pile to pick our companions.
    The Pax were instructed to give a name to their darling as we walked over to the parking lot, our minds filled with that which was to come, we made a circle then we did flutter kicks holding our babes above us, each pax calling out a set, the reps were determined by how many letters were in their date’s name. This totaled 35 reps.
    Pax then recovered and did the same number count with squat thrusters.
    Then we moseyed to the gym and back with our burdens, switching shoulders at the gym.

    Another round of flutter kicks was followed by a round of American-Getups(definitely not Turkish) then they moseyed to the cabana and did 20x step ups,
    20x big boy sit-ups both with our sweethearts, then 18 more American getups. At this point one of the pax pointed out that he was having separations issues with Burpees after being so close with them in January, so we did 10 AYOP. Then we rifle carried our accompaniment back to their home’s and did 15x Penguins, 20x LBC’s, and 14x Wife Pleasers. Then we sprinted back to the flat for a set of Echo count stretch’s and COT

    On a serious note, Q would like to give a sincere thank you to the PAX who showed up, because YHC would have far-sacked in a heartbeat with them.

  • The Inaugural Burpee C-Note Uptowner – from Rudy

    Our illustrious (or infamous?) site Q, Bolt, advised YHC that starting this week there is a new plan for The Uptowner. This new plan involved “Get Down, Get Up” and “Make Frac really happy!”. Yup, we all guessed it. Burpees. The BC Uptowner. Burpee C-Note. 100 Burpees need to get folded into the workout. So YHC thought and thought and thought. How could we possibly get 100 burpees in over 45 minutes? HOW?

    PAX (some who knew of this new plan, and some that were blissfully ignorant – Pai Gow asking whether it was too late to go to The Goldmine) appeared in the gloom around Vagabond’s 14 foot flag. Welcome back Charmin – great to see you becoming a regular! Scantron shows up with The Wood. Seriously, this time. Not Hawgcycle’s “toothpick”. But a real log. 9 PAX heard the disclaimer (including post-hate Disclaimer, arriving “on-time, millenial style”, but NOT including the aforementioned Frac). And we were off.

    Circle up for warmup. Some stretching. Welcome Mambi! 10 PAX.

    SSH x42: 42nd day of 2022. On this Day – 42:1 longshot Buster Douglas KOs Mike Tyson in 1992.

    Elbow Plank for 2 minutes, as PAX discuss whether Charmin (27 yo) or Disclaimer (30 yo) even know who “Mike Tyson” was (besides being a movie star). Bolt produces wildly funny and 100% inappropriate joke that will not be repeated here.

    Thing 1: Lucky 7s. Alas, the morning temperature was 44 degrees. So the Lucky Bear outfit stayed home (only appears at 40 degrees and under), much to Hokie Pokey’s disappointment. But we’ll repeat the drill. 7 minutes of 7 burpees on the minute, complete the minute with an exercise that YHC calls out. The resting is at the end. Half-way through, Macgyver appears – 11 PAX! Last round includes 8 burpees, so we get an even 50. Halfway home.

    Mosey to the gym. Mambi and Macgyver nominated to haul the log. Mambi unceremoniously throws it at YHC’s feet upon arrival. Grab some wall. Donkey Kicks and Shoulder Taps (with feet up on the wall). 3 rounds of 10 x 10 each. Shoulders are burning. Lets keep that going.

    Mosey to the gym steps. YHC has called this “The Italians scaling the Alps”. Up the stairs, 5 merkins at the top, then job to the bottom and plank. How do we go up the stairs? Bear Crawl, Crab Walk, Crawl Bear, Walk Crab. Then we gotta go down the Alps. So do the same, only in reverse order. YHC thanks Hawgcycle for the inspiration of doing something as dumb as Walk Crab up a hill. Other pax do not thank Hawg, but instead throw verbal insults at him.

    Back to the Field. Repeat Lucky 7s to get the rest of the way to 100 burpees. Halfway through, Hawg decides to quit and head home. Sorry if this was too hard for you. The other 10 PAX slog through to the finish line.

    28 J Los and 25 Penguins round out the day. Mosey back to the flag for our COT.

  • Squeaker at The Skinny – from MacGyver

    18 PAX and YHC turned up for a brisk morning at the Skinny, disclaimer was raised then we promptly moseyed over to the field across the street for a warm up –

    Side straddle hops-30
    Abe vigotas slow-10
    Imperial walkers -15
    Peter Parker’s-15
    Parker peters -15
    LBC’s-20
    Flutter kicks-25

    After the warm up we recovered and moseyed to the levee for BLIMPS, running back and forth using the power poles for progressively farther turn around points,

    After (2) 20 count breathers, the PAX moseyed over to the top of the levee for down and back Bear crawls(x2) then sets on the top of the levee

    American Hammer x10
    LBC’s X30
    merkins x20
    Flutter kicks x25
    Wife non-pleasers x10
    Penguins. X15
    Dying cockroaches x20
    All were in 2 or 4 count cadence

    Now that we were rested, we moseyed off the levee to the front of Audubon for 20x dips, and 15 setups. We then moseyed back to COT for echo count stretches, and 20 merkins to round out our morning. Count off, NoR, intentions, and a prayer. Then all the over achievers made a victory lap of Audubon for RCR.

    Somewhere towards the end, Q lost his breath and started squeaking like a pre pubescent teenage girl, but we won’t talk about that. What happens at the The Skinny, stays at The Skinny

    PS; I believe a certain PAX still owes us an explanation of what a “19 year old pleaser” is. It remains to be seen if that mystery will ever be solved……

    PPS; Also YHC can’t remember the names of 5 of the PAX who attended, sorry for that but your not forgotten. T-claps for those HIM’s

    Until next Q-

    MacGyver.

  • Krazy Ivan IV: Speedy Sings, Fracsac Frowns – from The Hammer

    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…for Fracsac apparently. The man who has a folder on his phone dedicated to the Freedom Hammer was crestfallen for a second year running. Bordering on tearful, Fracsac and his Southshore breathern had to witness a spritely Speedy Gonzales hoist the Freedom Hammer in triumph after the Northshore thumped the Southshore for the Crazy Ivan IV, 257 to 153. Precision results, thoroughly vetted and audited by the governing body, are as follows:

    1. Speedy Gonzales 31:22 (6:30 average pace)-recruited years ago by Jose 10k
    2. Amnesia 33:55
    3. In Time 34:07
    3. Cowbell 34:07
    5. The Hammer 34:34
    6. Saban 35:09
    7. Kuch 35:37
    8. Steve 36:45
    9. TankedUp! 37:20
    10. RevSox 37:36
    11. Sogo 37:47
    12. Hog’s Breath 40:25
    13. Thumb War 41:30
    14. Bongo (time between 41:30 and 42:43-you should have found me afterwards Bongo!)
    15. Snooze 42:43
    16. Pelican 42:44
    17. Shooter 43:34
    18. Flea 45:16
    19. BBQ 46.35
    20. Russo 46:55
    21. Jose 10k 47:38
    22. Pai Gow 49:55
    23. Baywatch (it was raining hard, lots was happening, Hog’s Breath was talking to me…sorry Baywatch I didn’t get your time)
    24. Belloq
    25. JV (not that JV, the other one) 55:19
    26. Kenner Brah
    27. McGiver

    And honorable mentions to PickAxe and Chainsaw, The Hammer’s 2.0s, who finished the first lap together in a blistering 13 minutes.

    Thanks for coming out guys. You all get a trophy for participating in this unequivocally, completely stupid and utterly pointless annual competition. YHC was thoroughly impressed with the total disregard for your personal wellbeing and safety and looks forward to a repeat performance same time next year. Over and out.

  • Mardi Gras Mambo – from Hokie

    On Monday I posted in slack stating no one had signed up to Q and I was willing to do so if no one else wanted it.

    As I awakened this AM and saw 41° on my weather app, I regretted my Monday Slack post but knew I had to get up and attend the Best Bank.

    Upon my arrival I saw the Mardi Gras lights, checked F3 NOLA to see no one volunteered to Q and therefore posted a pic at 0445 inviting folks to come join me for a little Mardi Gras Mambo

    Warm ups

    SSH x 20
    Slooow Abe Vigoda x 5
    Grass Grabbers x 10
    Imperial Walkers x 15

    The Thang – Mardi Gras Mambo

    We started on the River Shack corner

    Each round would start with a 10 burpee buy in and then we would do an exercise in a prescribed number of reps starting at the River Shack Corner and continuing Counter Clockwise to the four Corners of The OG Race Track

    Round 1 was 5 burpees at each of the 4 corners then run to the River Shack and then circle the six

    10 burpee buy in before starting each of the remaining rounds and always circle the six so we would start each round together.

    2. 10 HR Merkins
    3. 15 Star Toe Taps
    4. 20 SSH
    5. 25 low slow squats
    6. 30 shoulder Taps
    7. 35 LBC’s

    We closed with 10 burpee cash out or 100 burpees MABA

    THANK YOU for allowing me to lead!

  • Lucky Bear vs Form Police – from King Kong

    Q vs Q on 1/7/2022

    Our Department had been receiving calls for months about a group of “guys” working out at 5:30 a.m in Kenner. The complaints were never about the noise or other nuisances, but they were about the form. He complained about the push ups…. (they call it “Merks or Merkins”), squats, lunges, burpees, and the list goes on. I recognized his voice every time he called. I couldn’t ignore his complaints anymore since he was so persistent and passionate about the form. As Lieutenant King Kong from the Form Police Department, I showed up on 1/7/2022 ready to hand out citations.

    Upon arrival, I noticed 13 other “guys” (they call themselves “Pax”) showed up promptly on a cold, chilly, windy morning. While I was introducing myself to the Pax and why I was there…. One of the Pax called himself “Rudy” aka Lucky Bear was challenging and questioning me like he was defending his turf.

    A Kenner Native named “Mambi” led a warm up with jumping jacks (they call it “side straddle hops”), windmills (aka “Abe Vigoda”), and a stretch named “grass grabbers.”

    I saw an opportunity to take the lead after Mambi was done with the warmups. I called out another Kenner Native – Mahatma to demonstrate the proper form of a Merkin…. then Gabrielle with squats. After the demonstrations, I led the Pax with 10 merkins, ran to the stop sign, did 10 squats, ran back. When I noticed bad forms, I blew my whistle and everyone had to do 5 burpees. We did that for about 2 rounds… then Lucky Bear interrupted me by telling the Pax to grab a “coupon”, which is a cinder block, and headed towards the levee.

    At the levee, we did something called Gorilla. With a coupon, PAX performed the following OYO without stop: 8 Curls For Girls, 8 Rows, 8 Overhead Presses, 8 Chest Presses, then drop coupon followed this up by a quick mosey over the levee and back. Rinse and repeat until Lucky Bear yelled “halt.” Afterwards, we did few rounds of king kong with the coupon up and down the levee until Lucky Bear yelled halt again.

    At this point, I’m getting tired of Lucky Bear’s nonsense… so I gathered the Pax away from the levee and redirected their focus back on form, but this time with the coupon. We did 7’s (one side with a manmaker, ran to the stop sign and did squats). About half way through, I was interrupted again by Lucky Bear. He must have loved my idea of 7’s. He instructed the Pax to do “Lucky 7’s” – 7 burpees follow with an exercise of his choice in one minute for seven minutes nonstop. I blew my whistle couple times when I noticed his bad form.

    By the end of this, Mambi had enough and halted the entire workout because the environment felt like Form Police versus Lucky Bear. The group voted that I was the winner…. didn’t even know I was in a competition. Now I was asked by the Pax to come back out to Kenner in a month and challenge someone else. They called this “Q vs Q.” I called this a sucker bet to get me out to Kenner at 5:30 a.m. Since I don’t mind getting back out here, only fitting for me to challenge the caller who filed all these complaints. He is Triple Shift.

    Side notes worth mentioning – Fracsac showed up in a Godzilla costume looking for King Kong. Willie is the one who gave me the idea to be Form Police. But the Oscar award winning acting and calling out Triple Shift…. That’s all me.

    Blessed and honored to lead a Q vs Q workout. SYITG.
