  • Kansas City Chiefs Rally – from Einstein

    But BBQ doesn’t.

    Warmup:
    all 20xIC: Toe Touch, Side Straddle Hops, Shoulder Rolls, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillys,
    Neck Rolls

    Thang:
    With Deck of Cards, each pax is assigned their suit: Moby-hearts, Jose10K-spades, Mathlete-diamonds, Einstein-clubs
    one at a time, each pax draws a card, the owner of that suit calls out an exercise of their choice and we do that amount of the card.
    Jokers – back-peddle around the upper deck

    We made it through the deck just as time expired.
    BBQ missed it all – his sweat-o-meter KCC hat would have registered south of the top squatchee button.

    Count-o-rama

    Jose-10K led us out with a prayer

  • Split Q (IronPax and Cakewalk) – from Russo

    78 degrees to start today, and looking for any reason for positive weather news, (1) there was no rain and (2) it was slightly less humid than it has been. Really good start to the morning for a split Q of IPC week 0 and a birthday cakewalk.

    Warmup (between 10x and 14x, all IC)

    -Toe touches
    -Arm circles
    -Self love
    -Cherry pickers
    -Grass grabbers

    Thang: while Zoolander took half the pax to the west for IPC, YHC led a cakewalk (trademark to either Grundy or Zoolander), your basic descending ladder of exercises and reps, starting at YHC’s age (in this case, 44) and work your way to 1, with some moseying in between around Old Mandeville/Lakefront.

    The order:

    44 High knees (2 is 1, which YHC forgot right off the bat and thought “count by 2”, so thanks to Jose for keeping me honest. Math is hard)
    43 SSHs
    42 Plank Jacks
    41 goof balls
    40 squats
    39 Hello Dollies
    38 Calf raises
    37 Apollo Ohno’s
    36 Freak Nastys (correctly guessed by JV Raider Pride!)
    35 step ups (also correctly guessed by the Pax)
    34 flutter kicks
    33 butt kicks (2 is 1) (lead IC by the entire pax rotating, very nice job, gents!)
    32 Peter Parker’s (2 is 1)
    31 imperial walkers
    30 Shoulder taps (2 is 1)
    29 American hammers
    28 Monkey Humpers (Happy Birthday JV!)
    27 Merkins
    26 Smurf jacks (where we were joined by Ms. Cute Young Jogger, who either (1) felt bad for the old guys struggling to mosey and catch their breath, (2) knew it was JV’s birthday and wanted to give him an early birthday present, (3) was on a runner’s high and wanted to be friendly on a Saturday morning, or (4) some combo of all of the above)
    25 leg raises
    24 Rosalitas
    23 crab jacks (crab position – think reverse plank jacks, which Moby was having none of)
    22 groiners
    21 Bear crawls (counting your right hand as a rep)
    20 murder bunnies
    19 Wide merkins
    18 Bobby Hurley’s
    17 crab cakes
    16 circle ups
    15 Bulgarian split squats
    14 durkins
    13 big boy sit-ups
    12 LMCs IC
    11 diamond merkins
    10 star jumps
    9 donkey kicks (an ode to Shooter)
    8 wife pleasers
    7 merkins
    6 6 inch drills
    5 Carolina dry docks
    4 SMCs (2 is 1)
    3 jump squats
    2 burpees
    1 minute plank

    COT, name-o-rama, announcements, and prayer closed us out.

    Thank you, gents, for either joining me or pushing yourself hard with IronPax. And a larger thanks to each of you for not only pushing me harder, making me better through your example, and providing friendship for 4 of my 44 years, but for being a light in your families, work, and communities.

  • 100/200/300 Dora-Hammer Style – from Jose10k

    A great way to start your weekend off right: a beatdown at the A1C. Where else can you have the average age of participation over 55, gasous emissions from Hammer that could be weaponized and used to torture terriorists?
    The Thang: A hammer style dora on the side of the parking garage. Partner one runs a lap, while partner 2 completes the exercises. 100/200/300 big boys, squats, merkins. 2 calf raises each step back to the the top for some 4 corners. 7 reps at each corner, then 14, 21, and finish with 28. Merkins, Squats, Big boys, lbcs. Hammer pushed me to finish it right at 6, COT, prayers for JV and my family. Run to remember next Saturday, Russo’s Q tomorrow. Thanks for letting me lead Brothers. SYITG!

  • Reps and repeat at the A1c!! – from Shooter

    Rolled in hot at the A1c to the sights of 4 PAX at the top of the garage.. Along the way up YHC dropped off coupons at different locations for the morning beatdown.. Having thought of the beatdown the previous day, Q quickly realized upon arrival he had forgotten the deck of cards, which was to be used while the PAX alternated rotations through the 3 stations.. So, quickly exiting my vehicle and jumping straight into warmup, YHCs started thinking of the alternatives and the lack of proper planning quickly became apparent with some of the cadence being off. Jose10k quickly corrected the Q with his sharpest of mind when it comes to Math.. Guess your mind is much clearer at 0515 when one has already technically completed somewhat of a beatdown before anyone else had arrived…
    T👏🏼 to 10k for staying committed to the ISI issued out by Zoolander earlier in the month..
    Let’s begin
    Warmup
    10IC Good mornings, Toe Touches, Air presses, seal jacks, self love and arm circles..

    Thang

    Reps of 60, 40, 20 for the first series around..

    Each PAX took turns cycling through 60 count jump rope, 40 curls for the girls with tuck plate and 20 squats..

    Said HIM work through the circuit was the clock so to speak as the remaining PAX did stated work of upper body, core and lower body with rep counts of 10, 20, 30..

    Rounds consisted of Merkins, Big boys, lunges, Carolina dry docks, bicycles, Sister Mary’s, 8ct body builders, LBCs, 60deg lunges, Irkins, hands to heels, jump squats, Diamond Merkins, American hammers, and squats..

    With the first cycle taking roughly 25 mins we cut rep count in half of all said exercises and R/R for the 2nd round..

    Appreciate the post gentlemen always great to start the day with HIMs like each of you this Gloom..

    Thanks to Jose10k closing with 🙏🏼…

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Where Was Hammer? – from Jose10k

    I prepared an epic playlist for musical/pop culture trivia with our local expert, Hammer. However, when he didn’t show, the local, usual group were not impressed with my tunes. However, they tolerated my tunes and my choice of the beatdown. It was simple. 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 lbcs at the corners, 10 times. Then a mile run stopping at every stop sign and doing an additional 20 squats.
    Back to the parking garage for COT, Einstein prayed us out. Happy Birthday weekend to Einstein, safe travels for BBQ to visit that new grandson, prayer requests for my mother-in-law. Thanks for letting me lead gentlemen. SYITG

  • Done with the Super 21!! – from Shooter

    Wrapping up the week with the A1c YHC wondered how many PAX from Grandmas would post to complete the Super 21… Q already knew Jose10k would be there as demonstrated by his questioning after the beatdown Tuesday as what would be rounds 15-21… Come on Jose10k, you need more than lushest lips and radiant skin to get YHC to give up the goods 😳😬… It was nice to see Hammer and Russo also make the commitment and take the 💊 on this Friday as well… We of course had some newcomers to the 21 with Einstien and BBQ posting and they get a well deserved T👏🏼… When all said and done these HIMs achieved the level of most of there counterparts half there age with the completed rounds…

    Warmup
    Brief 10IC Windmills, Toe Touches, Cherry pickers, Torso twists, Hillbillies and Imperial walkers..

    Dropped down to level 1 of the garage and met in the back corner on the Northwest side.. With instructions provided to the newcomers of Rounds 1-7 and the introduction of Round 3 15-21 given to Hammer. YHC, Russo and Jose10k picked up at 13 and so began..
    If your interested in knowing rounds 1-14 and what was called exercises simply look back to Tuesday’s BB.. Round 3 15-21 consisted of Carolina dry docks, donkey kickoffs, jump squats with the 21 being Bicycles… T👏🏼 to Hammer and the rest of Tuesday’s PAX completing and then recycling back to rounds 1-7, which if I am correct Hammer probably got back to Rd 4 or 5, YHC, Jose10k and Russo I would say Rd 2… Einstien and BBQ got through Rd 12 as Q called at 0555.. We moseyed back to the top for closing of core and also picking up additional PAX in Moby and Sonny.
    Finished hands to heels 10IC, Jane Fonda’s 10IC and pulses at the top 10IC..

    Count, announce, COT

    Thanks to Moby for praying us out and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!
