  • Imitation is the Sincerest Form – from Jose10k

    They say mimicry is the highest form of flattery—so after Steve’s BLIMPS beatdown, I brought that same fire to the seasoned crew at The Gipper.

    We kicked things off with a fast-paced warm-up, then hit the streets:
    • Ran toward the courthouse with karaoke halfway, switching sides, then backpedaled each block—capped with 20 squats.
    • Rinse and repeat: karaoke, reverse, backpedal, 20 squats.

    Then came the main event:
    • 5 burpees at the bottom, run up the garage, down the stairs, sprint across.
    • Then: 5 burpees, 10 lunges, 15 imperial walkers, 20 merkins, 25 plank jacks, 30 squats.

    For the finale, we hit 30 squats at every level on the way down, one last round at the courthouse, and a final series of karaoke, reverse, and backpedal all the way back to the flag.

    Moby closed us out with a heartfelt prayer—for Steve and his grandfather’s funeral, for Coachella’s job search, and for Einstein’s son at his conference.

    Honored to lead. Respect to the men who showed up and pushed. One thing though: still no Mandevillians in Covington again. I guess I should log a formal complaint with the Wacker!

  • Well, I have one and you have one, plus he has one!! – from Shooter

    Well the beatdown developed just that quickly.
    After a quick warmup of 10IC arm circles, Cherry pickers, good mornings, toe touches, Imperial walkers, snap krackle pops and 3 laps around the top of the garage. I showed the PAX a ruck plate and quickly Hogsbreath and Jose10k both stated I have one.. Jose10k was a little disappointed with his 20 pounder, while hogsbreath had our middle of the road 25 pounder and of course YHC had the 30 pounder. Only thing that was off was my count on the number of PAX. For whatever reason YHC thought we had 6 but indeed we only had 5, but it all worked out. We did 3 rounds of Squat thrusters, shoulder press, kettle swings, single arm swings, squats, chest press, straight arm extensions, chin extensions and lat pulls. Mixed in some Carioca, back pedals and sprints along with some moseying.
    Finished with 10IC Flutter curbs, Hello Dolly curbs, ETKs and Little Manny crunches..

    Wrapped up with announcements, COT and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Block party – from Jose10k

    🎉🔥**EVERYTHING MUST GO — FINAL FITNESS FRENZY BLOWOUT!**🔥🎉
    THIS IS IT — The Last Block Party Workout Review!

    LAST BLOCK PARTY TIME: FRIDAY NIGHT, DOWNTOWN COVINGTON!
    You heard it right, folks — the final block party, the last hurrah, the ultimate end of the month workout bash that had more pump than a clearance rack on Black Friday!

    🪧EVERYONE GRABBED A COUPON
    That’s right — no early birds, no doorbusters — just raw muscle. Rifle carry those bad boys around town like human billboards of beast mode.

    🚦STREET-CORNER SIZZLE SPECIAL!
    Each intersection was a deal you couldn’t pass up — 20 curls for the girls (in cadence, because class matters). That’s right — form, function, and flex appeal. Boom.

    🏢TRIPLE FLOOR MADNESS!
    We climbed the A1C express elevator of pain —
    • Top floor: Curls for the girls, encore edition!
    • Middle floor: Shoulder presses so strong, they almost voided the warranty!
    • Bottom floor: Deep squats so low we found hidden inventory from 1993!

    🏛️COURTHOUSE COMEBACK DEALS!
    Rifle carried our way to civic glory —
    • Up the stairs. Down the stairs.
    • BOGO squats at the base — we’re practically giving them away!

    We brought it back with Mary, sweet Mary — the cooldown closer, the loyalty program finisher, the free gift with every purchase of pain.

    At least the Covington crew posted, you can’t trust those Mandevillians!!!!

  • School’s Out for Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – from Jose10k

    That is correct, it’s over, the year from hell is done! We kept it simple today. 10 Merkins, 20 Freak Nasties, 30 squats. Down 3 flights of stairs, then run the ramps back up. We did as many as we could in 35 minutes. Conversations including Mobys trucks, Einsteins coin collection, and Jose destroying students in the faculty/student basketball game! 5 minutes of Mary. COT, Murph at the Marsh on Memorial Day at 6 am. Moby Prayed us out
    STEVE, still waiting……Thanks for posting/reading. SYITG

  • Deck of Doom strikes again! – from BBQ

    The deck of doom strikes again! A good warm up. Got the Thang we used a deck of cards. Each card represented the # of reps. We went round robin and each chose a different exercise. Moby Dick’s picks were a core theme. Fletch was heavy into Merkins. YHS had a hip therapy theme. The down rangers from Houston showed a little late. Pump Jack and Negotiator got some bad coordinates for The Gipper. They jumped right in and added some different exercises. We went an extra 5 minutes but still had 5 cards to go. Pump Jack was impressed by the respect x 1,2 and 3 in the PAX. Fletch prayed up out.

  • What’s this workout???? You’re Will to Live – from Einstein

    Einstein, Moby and Hogs Breath all took the pill and got out of our fart sacks to show up at the Gipper .

    As we entertained ourselves prior to the scheduled beat down time, Einstein stated, no one had the queue, so we began a round robin. Each Pax picked an exercise and began, normally to a count of 10. Hogs breath threw in a few funky things “Persian gods” which began in a squat and rotating the upper body to the side of the front leg, to a count of four just like facing the Persian gods to the east . Another good one was mountain man poopers, always a hit!

    After about 10 minutes of a warm-up, Einstein suggested blocks. We mosey’d to the coupon pile. Hogs breath had everyone pick a block and run over to the A1C. Backpedaling up the parking garage ramps. Some coupon work went on for about 10 minutes at one point Moby asked “what does this work?”
    The response came back “your calves, stamina, and will to live…”
    We returned the coupons back to their pile and finished off with a round of Mary, going one minute over the time!
