  • R.E.S.P.E.C.T find out what it means to be!! – from Shooter

    All YHC can say today is that he has the utmost Respect for the PAX he was privileged to lead today!! Having the availability to post the A1c with my gym partner away fixing to crush his qualifier, it was nice to have 6 men take the red pill 💊 on this 🥵 Gloom..

    Warmup
    10IC and 15IC
    Arm circles, Torso twists, Cherry Pickers,
    Toe Touches, Grass Grabbers, SSH, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies and Mummy kicks..

    Thang
    PAX moseyed to the Northside parking lot. Instructions were simple 5 burpee, 10 Merkins, 15 Jump squats, 20 Flutter kicks 2:1, 25 leg raises and 30 Mountain climbers 2:1.
    Each station we added the exercise but also started with each of the previous. So the rep counts accumulated and some heavy breathing occurred. The hot 🥵 asphalt intensified the sweat, so much so that Jose10k rang out his shirt multiple times along the way mentioning the old sweat jug challenge and how he could have filled half the jug potentially just this morning 🤢.
    Once finished we moseyed around the parking garage a found the hottest little corner with no circulation of air. There we located a barricade for the next instruction of overhead presses 25 OYO, while the PAX utilized the wall for JackWeb Burpees 1 burp 2 donkey kickoffs.
    Moseyed to the opposite corner of the garage with another barricade available. Partners for curls with the barricade, while the PAX moseyed down and backpedaled back..
    Moseyed back to the flag and wrapped up with count, announce and COT provided by Jose10k..

    Appreciate you men following my lead and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Hot and Sweaty – from Mobydick

    It was Hot. So whats new. YHC picked up the Q minutes before the beat down so improve was the catch word. After a thorough stretching with Torso twists big arm circles grass grabbers windmills side straddle hops neck rolls ankle rolls for about 10 minutes it was off to the coupon pile. The thang was a 1min work 1 min rest tabata. Starting with presses then rows. Next on our sticks for crunchs and chest presses followed by squats and kettles. Time allowed 2 1/2 rounds tgen finished iff with rifle carry coupons back to the pile. Countarama and COT and we are done. Didnt count reps but it felt like a lot.

  • Red Barchetta – from Akbar

    The 4 Milestone Marsh regulars woke up to take the Red Pill this morning, on a seemingly cooler morning temp of 79 with 93% humidity. Which felt fine, until we starting moving.

    We celebrated the Red Barchetta today, a Red Ferrari V12 that left the Maranello factory in 1947 built for racing. Also, the classic Rush song, which gets your heart rate up like you’re speeding on country roads. The song was based on a short story about a time in the future when there were motor laws, making it illegal to joy ride. A young man gets his uncles Barchetta out from storage in a barn and heads out on the open road. Another example of songs that aren’t made like that anymore.

  • It only takes one – from Mobydick

    A beautiful cloudless morning. Jose10k checked in from the fart sack and the usuals on the road traveling. Didn’t matter Turbodog and YHC kept the faith with 10 minute warmup of SSH CP WM GG AC ANKLE CIRCLES no count just til enough. Then the thang

    Setup for 1min work 1 min rest Tabata of 3 sets of Burpees/Squats/Crunches/Merkins/Side Straddle Hop. Finish with 2min cooldown walk. POT and prayer for guidance and inspiration And done

  • It Only Take Two – from Mobydick

    Apparently the usual PAX really like hot and sweaty. An amazing cool and breezy morning graces the AO this AM. Fletch and Mobydick kicked off our workout with a good solid stretch session of about 10 minutes GG, CP, AC, SSH, IW, WM etc etc
    After a good loosing up came a plain old thing. We each secured a coupon and proceeded to complete 5 Sets of Presses/Curls/Rows/Kettles/Squats x10. Not the most brutal workout but it worked a sweat in the otherwise cool and breezy morning.
    Count and COT to closeout

  • Recover – from Akbar

    1 month since YHC’s last post. It was great to be back out in the gloom again despite the weather. Waterpik returned as well to the gloom to a heavy modified beatdown – meaning no upper body – running one of the regular routes down to the Lakefront wall, Rips, and back.

    Nothing better to start the week than a run with Monday morning Mumblechatter.

    Warm Up – SSH, IW, Grass Grabbers, Self Love, continuing warm up on the jog to the
    Lakefront stopping for 20 Merkins and 20 Squats mixed in with other stuff.

    Lakefront Wall: x20 IC – Freak Nasty, Dirkin, Squat, Step Ups, 1-2 sets

    Lungewalk to Rips for 3 rounds of 1 exercise at the bottom, run the stairs, 1 exercise at the other side. Merkins, Squats, Rocky Balboa’s, Shoulder Taps, and something else.

    This is when we saw a sea of cars heading toward the Lakefront. We have seen some strange things at the Marsh over the years, but this was something different. Turned out to be a FHS get together before the first day of school.

    Head back to the Marsh, stopping again for 20x Merkins, Squats, and other stuff.

    Returning to Moby Dick and Turbo Dog at the Marsh. Realizing with the short warm up, we missed Moby by a minute. He stayed and did 5, 10,, 15 reps on the pull up bars paired with squats and abs waiting upon our return.

    Backward lunge walk to the other side of the court, front lunge walk to return.

    Circle up for Mary of Little Manny Crunches, LBC’s, Hello Dolly, Rosalita, and time was called.

    Announcements –

  • Campfire Sing Along at The Gipper – from Einstein

    Well, it was more of a fart-along with Moby farting to the tune of “Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple.
    The Pax arrived to the A1C in total darkness – with the usual parking lot lighting not in operating order. And with the almost new moon, it was just plain dark.

    Luckily, eagle scout Jose10K just happened to have a lantern in his car, so with that, we circled around the light, whipped out the trusty deck-of doom and we were off.
    So, warm up (as if we needed to be warmer), then hit the deck with a round-robin, each Pax assigned to a suit, and their choice of exercise.

    BBQ led us out with prayer.

  • Farraginous Activities at The Gipper – from Einstein

    Hot and humid at The Gipper.
    No one signed up to queue, so what do you do? Round Robin was the consensus.

    Long Warmup:
    Toe Touch, SSHops, Swimmers, Neck Rolls, Hi Jack Hi Jills, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Merkins, Peter Parkers, etc.

    Then onto the Coupon event; rows, curls, presses, etc. mixed in with a run, and floor exercises
    All in all, it was a good beatdown – even my eyeballs were sweating.

    Circle-up, Count-o-rama, DarkWingDuck leads us out with prayer.

  • Variety Pack at The Gipper – from Einstein

    Summertime at The Gipper, with typical heat and high humidity.
    Humidity should be added to the Exicon as a stand-alone exercise – as it sure is draining.
    And welcome guest pax Dinghy – from the Hillsborough, NC location.

    Long Warmup:
    Toe Touch, SSHops, Swimmers, Neck Rolls, Hi Jack Hi Jills, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Shoulder Slingbacks, Butt Kicks, Smurf Jacks, etc.

    Mosey to the Taj Mahal parking lot for leg swings, font to back, left to right. Then using the stripes for a ladder template do a set of stops and starts forward, reverse, left shuffle, right shuffle. Then trott to the front of the Taj for ring-of-fire: each pax bear crawls into the flag pole and crab crawls back – whilst the rest of the pax holds plank waiting for their turn to crawl in/out.
    Then to the nearby grassy knoll for 10 OYO sprawls(kind-of-a burpee without the push-up).

    Mosey down the street to the Justice Center Parking Garage, at the garage entrance; backward lunge haf way then sprint, repeating up the ramp concourse.
    once on top; some core work, bear crawling, and sprints.

    Mosey to the front of the court house for some freak-nasties and rocky balboas.

    Mosey back to the flag for a minute of V-ups

    Circle-up, Count-o-rama, Dinghy leads us out with prayer; lifting up those recovering from injuries, the elderly, and families dealing with difficult challenges. And for “meet-less” BBQ, who has lost his alarm clock.

  • 3 year anniversary of the A1C – from Jose10k

    Could the A1C shutdown the cross town rival splash pad? Could the anniversary bring out seldom seen brothers like Tanked Up? Could Moby be sick and tired of CottonEyeJoe and the Cupid Shuffle? The answer to all 3 of these questions is simply, hell yes. As Bushwacker once told me, if you build it, they will come, just not him this Friday. 10 men took the red pill this morning to better themselves to celebrate the creation of the A1C 3 years ago. We prepared to dip into some of the favorite workouts in my bag of tricks, however, Moby is sick of the songs I think. So YHC was amused to see the chain gang on the back of his truck as he pulled up this morning.
    Warm-up: yeah, we had one
    Mosey to the Courthouse for some Dora with the hand rails. Partner one: did 50 merkins, then planked up until partner 2 came back from going up the ramp going hand over hand on the rails.
    2nd Round: partner one 100 squats, followed up with holding an al Gore. Partner two did the handrails again. 3rd Round: LBCs (300 cumulative, with alternating hand rails). Mumble chatter was great as always, amazed as Steve flew up those rails despite being vertically challenged. See Cowbell, can’t use it as an excuse. Mosey back to the top of the parking garage with the group separated into two groups of 5. Each group performed whatever exercise they pick while one person drags the chain across the parking garage. Each person dragged the chain a total of 3 times. Finished up with a Merkin Ring of Fire getting up to 101. COT with Hammer praying us out. Intentions for Waterpik and recovery from his soccer related injuries. Bushwackers FF challenge tomorrow. Thanks for coming out gentlemen, thanks for supporting me, and pushing me to be better.
