  • Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today To get through this thing called life Electric word life, it means forever and that’s a mighty long time But I’m here to tell you, there’s something else The afterworld, a world of never ending happiness You can always see the sun, day or night So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills You know the one, Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright Instead of asking him how much of your time is left? Ask him how much of your mind, baby ‘Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld This life you’re on your own And if de-elevator tries to bring you down Go crazy, punch a higher floor – from Jose10k

    I showed up early to put a mile in for RCR, which I always listen to music. Our resident pop culture expert, Hammer, inquired what I was listening to. I told him Prince’s Let’s go crazy. To which he just belted out the lyrics as if he wrote them. Most impressive.
    Warm-ups: ssh, grass grabbers, torso twists, cherry pickers all in cadence
    The thang: Mosey to the courthouse for some 11’s. Merkins and jump squats with running the length and up the courthouse steps. Once finished, on lap around the courthouse, then a quick trip to the rock garden. Picked up a good rock for some curls for the girls, rows for the bros, and overhead presses (all in cadence). Back to the A1C for round robin core. Hammer prayed us out. As always, thanks for letting me lead. Still waiting for cowbell to show up on Friday, maybe even Q.

  • Back to School where I don’t get no respect – from Jose10k

    After a victorious Crazy Ivan, YHC was a bit sore and tired. I knew I had the Q, but had put it off to this morning. The highest form of flattery is imitation. So I stole Shooters back to school, but mine wasn’t the Billy Madison version. Mine was Rodney’s.
    Warm-up: All IC to 12, ssh, grass grabbers, self love, torso twists and shoulder rolls
    The thang: Perform 12 reps of each exercise for each grade. Move up a grade, perform the previous grade exercises, plus the new one. One loop around the parking garage, down to the bottom, then back up.
    1st grade: Merkins
    2nd-Leg Lifts
    3rd-Big Boy situps
    4th-Squats
    5th-Air pressess
    6th-lunges
    7th-12th, didn’t make it. We dropped out to pursue our careers. COT and Moby prayed us out.

    Thanks for letting me lead on this cold morning. Still no respect yet though.

  • Panxsutawney Phil and The Gipper – from TurboTax

    Panxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning which implies some sunlight which, in turn, confirms that he was nowhere near The Gipper. Conditions for our beatdown were Gloomy to say the least.

    Plenty of shelter at The Gipper. After a warmup featuring lots of dynamic stretching, skipping, bear crawling, lunging, squatting, crab walking and running, the PAX made our way to the crescent for a EMOM extravaganza. Burpees, merkins, mountain climbers, Sister Mary Katherines, Apollo Onos, Bobby Hurleys, and a few different plank variations filled the rest of our time…roughly 30 minutes of increasing intensity. But the PAX weathered the EMOM storm just fine and made a solid downpainment on the day.

    Thanks for letting me lead guys. Hope to see you all out there for the Krazy Ivan Thursday night.

  • BBQ, where are you? – from Jose10k

    After having the Wu-Tang Clan visit the house of Jose 10k, YHC was finally able to safely rejoin the gloom. I was eager to get back to grind at the A1C, but where’s BBQ? Where o where is BBQ?
    Warm-ups: ssh, torso twists, self love, grass grabbers, cherry pickers
    The Thang: Four corners, back peddle the short length, run the long length. 7 merkins at each first, then 14 hand release, 21 slow squats, followed by 28 leg raises. Mosey to the bottom of the garage to do calf raises (3 per step) all the way up. Finished off with a few minutes of good stretching. Fletch prayed us out. Glad to finally be back at it. But seriously, where is BBQ?

  • HUMP day!! By the way Moby, what are you wearing? – from Shooter

    Having missed the last few Gipper beatdowns, YHC knew he had no excuses if he took the Q… Meeting up with Steve at our WD location to carpool. Minus one of our other brethren in Bushwacker the ride produced some small talk and not the normal rambles of chatter on the drive north.. Upon arrival Steve and YHC noticed we were the first at the AO until the likes of Barely legal came rolling in.. After planting the shovel flag the 3 of us started out for a pre miler running through the streets of beautiful Covington talking some sports and mumbling about the upcoming challenge that one (unnamed) of our own is setting out to achieve.. Although the insanity of the challenge he has bestowed upon himself seems impossible, the 3 of us all agreed it will be accomplished knowing the natural desire and determination of this individual.. Beware Covington of possible Wolverine sightings in your future!! Returning to the shovel flag 4 more PAX, plus Sonny awaited as we started in our warmup..

    All 15IC SSH, Toe Touches, Cherry Pickers, Arm circles, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies and Butt kicks…

    YHC chose 2 coupon workouts from the Exicon, so we gathered our blocks then returned under the breezeway for FLORA 123.. Partnering up we completed the 100 200 and 300 rep count of Derkins, planks, LBCs, 6inch holds, Goblet squats and holds..
    Sonny was extra motivated on this Gloom as he tried getting in some of his own versions of Monkey Humpers with mans best friend.. Not sure where the motivation came from but maybe it was the cologne or soap, which prompted other PAX to inquire about the secret aroma for potential attractant at home with the M… Not sure if it would work but let’s just say it was in the air at the Gipper on this day with the abundance of attempts displayed by ole Sonny (Turbo dawg) on this HUMP day!!!
    After finishing we took our blocks to the parking area/boat yard soon to be attorneys office for the finale.
    Gorilla Complex was on tap with one modification. YHC was not sure of one of the said exercises in the rotation, so substituted Rows instead.. The just is 8 rounds of 5 exercises with 8 reps followed by a 50 yard sprint between each round.. With coupon 8 curls, 8 rows, 8 shoulder presses, 8 squat thrusters and 8 Merkins then sprint/mosey for 50 yards.. R/R 8x

    Hope you got your monies worth gentleman and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • It’s Lonely at the Top – from Mobydick

    Well the cold breezy drizzly gloom almost took out a perfectly good AO. But No Mobydick and Turbo Dog to the rescue. A few minutes late start so I could drive up to the roof of the garage to be sure no other intrepid were lurking about and a light workout began. Since it was only me (Turbo Dog was doing his olfactory inventory) I had me warm up literally with some self love and high knees. The thang was traverse the perimeter of the first and second floor of the garage doing karaoke. Butt kicks. High knees backpedal lunges and and occasional leg of squats. Deeep squats at each parking strip. Some legs got a sprint. Up and down both ramps Up and down all three sets of stairs. That works out to almost a mile. To top it off our came the chain which is 81’ long by the way and a good solid drag back and forth across the garage. A good dose of leg lift and Turbo Dog wrestling and a counts Rama. Prayers for Jose 10 k and Peacock and homeward bound. The chain is unbroken
