  • Howling Ass and Abs – from Hogs Breath

    This backblast, like a woman’s period, is better late than never.

    YHC arrived at the A1C about 5 mins early, to find a trio awaiting me!

    The very first thing was a warm up mosey to second deck, which included some karaoke, butt kicks and stuff. The warm up also included some toe touches and YHC favorite Mountain Man Poopers.

    The Thing;
    We began with a few rounds of Howling monkeys. Which is Monkey Humpers in a circle, the play continued until YHC determined there was enough groaning.

    Backwards run to next corner with some Howling V-ups. V-Ups in a circle until YHC determined there was enough groaning.

    Backwards run to third corner with Howling Holes. Or squats in a similar fashion.

    See a trend?

    Backwards run to last corner with Howling flutter kicks.

    Walking lunge down the ramp to the bottom deck. Since the date was 1/19, we did 119 collective wife pleasers!

    Mosey back up to second deck and rinse and repeat for the Howling rounds.

    What would be an A1C beatdown without some calf raises up to the top deck?

    YHC even brought a jug of coffee to have an impromptu Coffeteria. Jose 20K had to leave early otherwise a nice ice cold soda was awaiting for him!

    Hopefully four men left the beatdown with better looking Ass and ABs!

  • Mighty cold out here Ma – from Mobydick

    Short and sweet. In 18 degree conditions Barely Legak and Moby Dick brave the cold. Sounded all noble until Legal pointed out that a deer stands are manned on a regular basis in as bad or worse. At least we could move around and warm up a bit and talk. After Barely Legal lead a nice stretchy warm up YHC cracked open the Tabata app and turned on a set of SSH Squats Crunches Merkins Bicycle Crunhes and. Box cutters. 45 secs and 30 sec rest. We made it through just shy of 5 rounds to close with COT and a prayer.

  • Hakunah Tabata – from Mobydick

    65 degrees? Are you serious? T-shirt and shorts one more time before the weather rolls through. Everyone was happy to enjoy this gorgeous weather. Yes, we know Russo will always wear shorts and a t-shirt. He’s our own Victor Freeze ( a batman character portrayed by the master thespian Arnold Schwarzenegger. The colder it gets, the happier he gets. Moby requested to lead a beatdown to help with his lower back, so it was time for some Tabata. 45 seconds on, 20 seconds off. 6 Exercise: freak nastys, squats, crunches, irkins, jane fondas, and box cutters. Rinse and repeat.
    COT, Moby prayed us out. 1/21 Nightmare after Christmas with Moby. 1/27 Bushwhackers camping trip. Runcajunrun the month of February, sign up by 1/18.

  • Return of the Mighty Moby – from Einstein

    Yes indeed, Moby is back after a few week hiatus due to combersome back pain.

    YHC did the warmup and Moby took over the Q with a tabata: 45 seconds on 30 seconds off.
    6 exercise, 4sets: crunches, box cutters, inclined merkins, squats, etc.

    Pass Interference brings in a FNG to the PAX – welcome Spackle

    Moby prayed us out.

  • Die Hard is a Christmas Movie – from Jose10k

    YHC arrived early, a little extra time to stretch. Akbar must have been thinking the same, so I had someone to chit chat with this morning. During the conversation, 4 Covington PD came in hot on the top of the A1C, just to “check things out” according to the officer. We were blessed by an out of town brother, Webelow, joining us from Jackson County (I apologize if I spelled it wrong)
    Warm-up:ssh, grassgrabbers, torso twists, imperial walkers, self love (all to Christmas Time in Hollis Queens). Where the first trivia question, who was John McClain’s limo driver? Russo didn’t know the answer to this question(which was the theme of the beatdown). Argyle was the answer.
    The next question was what was John McClain’s wifes name: russo was wrong yet again. Holly Generro
    The thang: After the warmups, the PAX moseyed to the courthouse. The tragedy at Nakatomi plaza occurred on Christmas Eve, and we gathered today to honor the hero of Nakatomi: John McClain. The event occurred on the 30th floor, so that’s where we started. 30 merkins, 30 squats, 30 big boy sit-ups, 30 leg lifts. In between each exercise ran the length of the courthouse leading up to the stairs, up the stairs and then back down. Once the pax was finished we ran 1 lap around the entire courthouse.
    12 Terrorists entered Nakatomi: 12 burpees
    We now stopped on the side of the courthouse.
    ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring,except for the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two formation.
    Paired up. Partner one : side lunges the entire grass section to the concrete and back, partner 2= holds an al gore thoroughgood. Repeat.

    The terrorists planned to use C4 to blow up Nakatomi Tower. The PAX completed in cadence 30 reps of these 4 “c”ore exercises: little Manny crunches, flutter kicks, Freddy Mercury’s, and penguins

    Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.
    Famous line from the air ducts: time to do some ac duct crawling, while partner 2 does squats. Mosey back to the second floor to do a Hans Gruber pull-up: the pax hung from the raptors for 10 count, then did 30 Superman’s (he did fall 30 stories) .back to the stairwell to do 5 calve raises each to the top. And time was up.
    Trivia Question: What type of watch was Holly wearing that Hans hand was caught on? Russo was incorrect with Seiko. Pelican for the win with Rolex. Given to Holly from Ellis. More quotes from Hammer.
    5 Calf raises on each step on the way back up. Circled up for the first thing McClain did after going to the ER: Wife Pleasers in cadence for a 60 count. That’s when we were joined by Moby and turbodog. A few more core exercises.And to further celebrate the heroics of John McClain, a yell of Yippee Ki-yay Motherfu**er. The Trivia Question that Russo finally got correct. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman. COT and Hammer prayed us out. Thanks for the SplashPad joining us, thank you for Hammer to help create peace between battling AOs.
    Thought for the Season: Is Lethal Weapon a Christmas Movie? The answer is yes, and possibly the theme for the next beatdown.

  • “Mr. Shooter are you done yet?” – from Shooter

    Mid 40s with chatter all around, but discussions were not as appealing for some as Sir Wacker placed his bum on the concrete wall around the stage.. Fletch and YHC were engaged in hunters lingo, as Moby and Legal were chatting it up, not sure of the topic but YHC quickly got the hint to move along..
    With modifications needed from the previous weeks trip up (some of you out there get that one 😬) we jumped into an extended warmup.
    Grass grabbers, SSH, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, Goof balls, Self-love, Torso twists, Mummy kicks and Seal jacks.. 10IC for all, maybe a few or a few less, as Fletch was the only PAX at first responding with the count until the occasional voice of Legal pierced the air.. Moseyed to the school board for some leg swings OYO 10 forwards/backwards and side to side. To the front for Al Gore kick ups as PAX took cycles around the building and back.
    Moseyed to the garage for chill-cut blank while each PAX sprinted up and Moseyed back. Over to the front of the courthouse for box jump’s and step ups while each PAX cycled through bunny hops up the steps and returned. Moseyed back for close out with Core.
    LBCs, Little Manny crunches, WW1 sit-ups and Big Boys closing with ETKs..

    Appreciate the appreciative and grateful Wacker for our COT after count and announce!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Ladders – from Akbar

    YHC arrived this brisk gloom as Waterpik and Hammer were already at center court solving the worlds problems in deep conversation. Moby arrived just in time for the warm up. Today we did ladders.

    Warm up: the usual with a focus on YHC’s shoulders after digging up fence posts yesterday.

    Mosey to the playground for Ladder 1: Pull ups, hanging knee raises, Swerkins (Merkins on swing with a knee tuck), and Freak Nasties. 3 rounds x 5, 10, 15

    4 corners ladder: Sister Mary Catherine, Stone Mountain, Scuba Steve, Peter Parker at each intersection with a jog in between. 5 reps, adding 5 at each corner.

    Court – 4 corners starting at 5 to 20 again: Jane Fonda, LBC, Hello Dolly, and something else.

    Count, Name, and YHC prayed us out.

    Announcements: Nightmare After Christmas coming soon, Whacker camping trip in January, Run Cajun Run coming up

    Thanks for the post gentlemen!

  • Return of the Mack – from Jose10k

    Oh, oo-o-oh, come on, ooh, yeah
    Well I tried to tell you so (yes, I did)
    But I guess you didn’t know, as I said the story goes
    Baby, now I got the flow
    ‘Cos I knew it from the start
    Baby, when you broke my heart
    That I had to come again, and show you that I’m real
    all those times I said that I love you
    (You lied to me) yes, I tried, yes, I tried
    (You lied to me) even though you know I’d die for you
    (You lied to me) yes, I cried, yes, I cried
    1-(Return of the Mack) it is
    (Return of the Mack) come on
    (Return of the Mack) oh my God
    (You know that I’ll be back) here I am
    (Return of the Mack) once again
    (Return of the Mack) pump up the world
    (Return of the Mack) watch my flow
    (You know that I’ll be back) here I go

    You got to love that 1996 r&b classic. Why do I start the backblast with this: DarkWing returned to the A1C today. After the Flu wage war with his family for over a month, the Darkwing Clan is officially healthy, so we finally have Return of the Duck.

    Warmup-SSH, grassgrabbers, merkins, squats, etc…
    The Q sheet was open, so it was sort of a brain storming type of beatdown. We started off with 11s: Squats and Merkins, followed up with round robin core with Moby stretches. COT with DarkWing praying us out. Movie night was a success, Shooter is slowly nursing injuries caused from picking a fight with the tax dollars of the city of Mandeville (God Help those Deer this weekend), and we had a BBQ sighting. Waterpik has the Q tomorrow.
    Next Friday: Back by popular demand, the celebration of the tragedy that struck the Nakatomi Plaza beatdown will occur. Come on Splash Pad, join in our remembrance of the heroics of one Mr. John McClain. SYITG
