  • Grannies BLT – from Akbar

    Grannies BLT

    Nothing like a BLT sandwich on a hot summer day, but it’s also good on a cool fall morning. Especially after a ridiculous IPC finale consisting mostly of Chest, Shoulders, and Back. Our BLT this gloom was Biceps, Legs, and Triceps and was enjoyed at our close neighborly AO, Grandmothers House. We did have a little chest action for desert.

  • Friday Fun Day! – from BBQ

    A mighty 5 started wit the usual warm ups. As always my warm ups are inspired by Einstein’s Q’s. The thang was a ladder exercise in 4 corners. We started with 5 burpees, 10 lunges with 2 as 1, 15 Hand release merkins and 20 LBC’s in each corner. The ladder for each round around the top parking lot was +5, +5, -5 and -5. Between the East to West corners we did a star jack at every third parking lot line on one side and copperhead squats every third line on the other side. A mosey on the short North to South sides. We finished with a few good hip and hamstring stretches for this respect full PAX. Jose 10K prayed us out and added more inspiration. It was an honor to lead these fine young men.

  • 45 gets you hate! – from Jose10k

    74 degrees after a mini hurricane the night before made for a mild morning beatdown. A few of us were still suffering from illnesses from the beginning of the week, so it was a simple workout. BBQ was mourning the loss from last night football game, Moby was promoting his juicing regiment that gave him radiant skin and a vascular system that revivals a 30 year old, and Einstein was still promoting Geritol. KISS, was the theme of the morning. After a warm-up, moseyed to the side of the parking garage for a DORA. Partner 1 runs a loop, while partner 2 completes 50 big boys, 100 copperhead squats, and 150 merkins. Rinse and repeat until each man completed all exercises. 2 calf raises each step back up stairs. COT, Moby prayed us out. That’s all I got y’all. Work is calling. See some of y’all at the Gipper tomorrow to run with the Wacker.

  • A/O for the Aging – from Einstein

    Just the old guys at The Gipper this morning – our pill of choice -> Geritol.
    Somewhat pleasant weather with temps in the mid 70s.

    After a strong warmup, we picked up some cinder blocks and tossed them around for awhile.

    BBQ did the prayer

  • Labor Day Murph – from Akbar

    9 strong for a Labor Day Murph, followed by coffeeteria. We can go to Waffle House anytime, but it sure tastes better after a Murph.

    PAX -Akbar, Bird, Hammer, Hogsbreath, Moby Dick, Russo, Shooter,
    Jose 10k, Sogo

    7am start, with most arriving early to discuss LSU football among other things. Warm up consisted of SSH, Self Love, Grass Grabbers, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, and some other things.

    We ran the original Milestone Marsh route down Livingston to the wall for the runs. Then broke up to 20 sets of 5/10/15 OYO, finishing with a mile.

    Tunes ranged from Zebra, Dash Rip Rock, and Rush to Big Tymers and a theme song from Avengers. SOGO was first to finish with Russo and Bird not far behind.

    Count, Name, and SOGO prayed us out.

    Waffle House was lively with great conversation centered around music and movies as usual. Michael Jackson was on for the first 20 minutes, Jose 10K showed us some dance moves, and we talked like high school girls. All while Moby talked to a guy in the parking lot for 30 minutes and may have bought a motorhome.

    Thanks for following the lead,

  • The AARP at the A1C – from Jose10k

    70 degrees to start a beatdown? It’s glorious to finally have cooler temperatures in the morning. A quintet took the red pill and showed up this morning. It was the usual group of older gentlemen. I know the splash pad likes to think of themselves as the “young guns”, and they often make small cracks about the average age of the A1C. Don’t worry, we’ve heard all of them. 1. Which underwear brand do seniors love best? It Depends.
    2. You know you’re getting old when your birthday cake is a fire hazard.
    3. Aging gracefully is a nice way of saying you’re slowly looking worse.
    But perhaps one of my favorites: A wealthy old man spots an attractive lady at the grocery store and approaches her with an offer.
    He says, “Ma’am, you are very beautiful, and I would love to give you $1,000.”
    The woman, surprised and flattered, says, “That’s very kind of you, but what would I have to do?”
    The old man says, “Just follow me home, take off all your clothes, pick the money up off the floor, and then you can get dressed and leave.”
    “Wow, she says, that sounds great, but I’ll have to ask my husband if it’s okay with him first.”
    *Woman calls her husband, explains the proposition and asks him what he thinks*
    Husband says, “Yeah baby, we could really use the money. Just pick it up real quick, get dressed, and get out of there.”
    So the lady goes back to the old man, says she’ll do it, then follows him home, strips completely naked, and starts picking up the $1,000 off the floor.
    *An hour later, her husband calls her cellphone and asks what’s taking so long.*
    The lady, huffing and puffing, says, “That dirty old man paid me in quarters, dimes, and nickels!”
    You can make fun of the average age at the A1C all you want, but they’ll put a beatdown on you, and you’ll be sore the next day.

    The warm-up: the usual exercises to get the blood flowing
    The thang: The deck of death gentlemen. Normally YHC goes crazy with the Merkins, however, I was feeling a little frisky this morning. I called out nothing but wife pleasers for the clubs. Burpees for the lower numbers, various exercises for the high numbers. Reverse mountain climbers, scorpion kicks, leg lifts, squats, and then the crazy BBQ jokers. Deon Sanders back peddling, Star Jumps on every other parking line, and then the attempt to throw another Joker in the mix. These old guys tend to forget that there are only 2 Jokers in the deck. Dementia seems to be settling in. 45 minutes later, full body work out, sweat jug getting filled (look out Zoolander), and a sense of accomplishment to start the day. COT, intentions to young Phoenix who is doing better each day. 9/11 run to remember with Bushwacker on the 9th at the Gipper. Grundy has week 0 of the IronPax challenge. I heard it’s tough. So tough that Frank the Tank can’t even do it. Apparently he’s too old to even attempt it. BBQ prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead such a great group of “young” men. Suck it splash pad. Thanks for the read y’all and Russo.
