    • Showing up to Q with your shirt inside out isn’t the best way to gain the respect of the pax and convince them that you have it all together
    • PVC has probably been to 100 workouts and never to one that I Q’d. That’s on me.
    • The Bogè was pushing hard today. He’s more than just a pretty face with a velvet voice.
    • Mahatma and HG are ready for the one mile bear crawl
    • Boo Boo is one workout away from getting his name on the bat and securing the final Dat Wood t-shirt.
    • Rudy has his birthday Q this Saturday. This is like the 5th thing he’s done in August to celebrate his birthday. I heard he was at the Foundry this morning for what he was calling Battle FrisBirthday. Does anyone know when his actual birthday is? Is it in August? Is this a month long celebration? A two month celebration? What are we dealing with here?

  • Frac Attack (Oh No He Didn’t) – from Fast Tax

    The Uptowner 8/12/2022

    Backblast disclaimer: Given the passage of time, YHC’s aging memory, and the Fracsac transgression, the events in this exercise represent my best recollection of what transpired and may not be entirely factual.

    After disclaimer, we headed to the field to attempt to find a dry-ish spot for warmups consisting of:
    Grass Grabbers
    SSH
    Hairy Rockettes
    Toy Soldiers
    Swan Dives

    Catch-Me-If-You-Can was the first exercise. Separating into teams of 2, while PAX 2 ran backwards around the track, PAX 1 did 10 merkins then sprinted to catch up, then PAX 2 did the merkins while PAX 1 ran backwards. This cycle was repeated until we made it all the way around the track.

    Next, we circled up for a roll of the dice. In a circle, PAX took turns rolling the 10 sided exercise die gifted to YHC on his birthday Q from Bolt. Exercises included burpees, merkins, LBCs, and others that I can no longer remember.

    With 25 minutes left, it was time for Battle Frisburpee.

    Team 1 – Rafiki, Smalls, Hand Grenada, and Fast Tax
    Team 2 – PVC, Glamper, FracSac, and Bogey

    While Team 2 prevailed (3-1), it was likely in large part to Fracsac’s blind-side tackling of YHC as YHC was about to score. It is likely that without the incorporation of tackling into the game, Team 1 would have triumphed…at least that is how my concussed brain recalls it…

    Also noteworthy in the game was PVC’s use of passing the ball from one baller to another in order to tag more opposing players. While the move was clever and not specifically prohibited in the rules (yet), this use of the ball is still being reviewed by the Battle Frisburpee committee…a ruling is expected before the next game.

    With game over, we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.
    Thanks for the fellowship! SYITG

  • It Wasn’t the Game Played, But It Was the Game Played – from Boo-Boo

    Disclaimer given and a mosey to the rock pile area for a warm-o-rama consisting of typical warmup exercises such as SSH, 4-count Abe Vigodas, MC, PP, IW, and mountain man poopers.

    PAX were instructed to grab a medium rock, one that could be used for triceps extensions. Rudy felt there was a dichotomy in the instruction bc a medium rock and triceps extensions do not go together. YHC set a repeating alarm for 5 minutes. Every time the dog barked, PAX had to do 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat.

    PAX were directed to the parking lot behind the gym. While in route, there was mumblechatter between Fast Tax and YHC about the unusual breeze, which YHC thought was typically associated with rain at this time of year.

    Pax lined up in the parking lot for Lt. Dans to the gym. As we arrived at the gym, the rain started. Change of plans! PAX were instructed to assume the People’s Chair under the covering, with their rock, to complete overhead presses and curls in cadence. Occasionally rows were thrown in for variety.

    As the rain increased and the parking lot started to hold water, Bogey felt a significant draw to play in the puddles. PAX were directed to the deepest puddle for facedown Aquamans (Supermans in a puddle), followed by face up Aquamans. Only three PAX elected to stay under cover and missed out on the fun. It was noted that these kind of shenanigans would ever be attempted at an uptown beatdown, while also pointing out that our uptown brother in attendance was all in!

    Rinse and repeat the peoples chair routine and Aquamans, adding Abe Lincolns to the puddle fun.

    At one point, PAX went balls to the wall while attempting shoulder taps. Only Fast Tax was able to complete said maneuver, so it was quickly changed to vertical merkins in cadence.

    Rocks were returned and mosey back to the flag for a COT.

    While the surprise rain storm was not in the game plan, it was the game played. Adaptability is a pillar of effective leadership, and this group was very encouraging and accommodating.
