  • Common Core Math Makes 5 Corners on a Block – from Bushwacker

    YHC was not surprised that Duke of Hazzard wanted to post on a Monday, but was pleasantly surprised when Baby Yoda acquiesced so easily. And so we three pulled up to The Marsh where expectant PAX were gathered in anxious anticipation. Expectations of a Wacker Q, of possible appearance by DR Ant Man, and of the nearing of Christmas day. A strange vehicle slowly approached as we began…

    WARMORAMA

    IC x10: SSH, High Knees, Butt Kicks, IDK…

    It was Akbar

    THANG

    Starting at Lamarg/Livingston 5 reps, going up five at each corner around the block and finishing with 25 reps at Lamarque/Livingston. Slow Squat Jumps, Burpees

    To the court baseline for suicides adding 1 burpee at each turn around, then another set adding 1 burpee upon each return to the starting point.

  • Ruck around the block – from Akbar

    Me and the 10k this gloom. YHC thought Whacker had the Q but was a week off. Since Jose had a ruck on, I grabbed mine and we rucked down Lamarque to the Lakefront, to Girard – stopping at Rips for 5 calf raises on the stairs, back to Livingston.

    4 corners on the court: Merkins, Freak Nasty, Squats, Shoulder Taps

    Count, name, done.

    SYITG! Akbar

  • Well, we have to do something – from Akbar

    3 HIM in the early gloom on a dreary morning. After the Lakefront Massacre of Waterpik calling a pass the Q – each man put his best (or worse) beatdown in: Jose 10k’s 200 individual squat Dora, Zoo’s Bear Crawl on the Breakers, Birds leg burner and other downpainments. YCH arrived with a full body ladder and we were done with it on the 2nd block. But we prevailed.

    Warm up: Grass Grabbers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Arm Circles, Self Love, and Shoulder tabs.

    Mosey to the playground for 3 sets of 10 pull ups and 15 SSH.

    Ladder up and down on 4 corners: 5, 10, 15, 20 of Tempo Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Stone Mountains, and Copperhead Squats

    Take a breather at the court, then to the tables for Freak Nasty, Bulgarians, Supermans

    Mary and plank to the end.

    Appreciate the post! SYITG,

  • Omaha, Omaha, Omaha – from Waterpik

    Bird’s birthday beatdown left us walking around like T-Rexes, so Monday turned into a core day—a decision fueled by equal parts soreness and regret. Warmup? Pull-ups and Big Boys, but the collective ‘grumble grumble’ forced a mid-workout audible. From there, it was Superman’s and 100s at every stop sign on the way to the lakefront—because why not? A wall session of derkins reminded us gravity is undefeated. On the way back, Peter Parkers and American Hammers at the stop signs ensured the abs had no escape. Finished it off with a spicy four-corner special: burpees at each corner for maximum suffering. COT to wrap it up, but only after we stopped questioning life choices.

  • I’ve got the keys to the bus, and who knows if this backblast will post! – from Jose10k

    A good A1C warm-up inspired by Einstein and BBQ. Everyone was ready to go after that.
    We did 10 merkins and 15 squats at each stop sign. We just changed how we moseyed from stop sign to stop sign. Side shuffled, Lt. Dan, simple jog all the way to the lake front. Got to Rips where we did 3 calf raises on each step up and down. Same on the way back to the basketball court. COT and prayers for all those traveling for thanksgiving
