  • Rocky Top – from Vagabond

    Warmup mid football field then onward to rock pile and then to hill where pax did 11s back and forth from bottom to top: not sure what you call it but squat down to pick up rock on ground and hand clean it above head, then back on the ground again (1 rep) and then bear crawl to top of hill and other exercise was bob-n-weave. After 11s bear crawl to other side of hill pushing rock. Death marched to gym with rocks. Circled up for pax choice rock exercise while rotating counter clockwise to use each others’ rocks. Return to rock pile and flag for COT.

  • Gonna Feel That In The Morning – from Fast Tax

    It was the usual hot, humid, and sloppy August morning at El Diablo as 11 PAX assembled, eager to push themselves and their brothers.

    YHC could tell from the chattiness during the disclaimer that a few audibles were going to be called this morning. After disclaimer, we moseyed to the rock pile accompanied by War Eagle’s lamentations that Rock City was Monday and today was Wednesday…in case YHC was not aware.

    Warmups consisted of SSH, Grass Grabbers, Hairy Rockettes, and Swan Dives

    After “low-medium” rock selections, we lined up against the fence in peoples chair for 10 reps of rock-a-bye-baby – a six count head and chest workout in cadence.
    Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum followed until we hit the sidewalk.

    Still bearing the brunt of PAX chit-chat, YHC opted to get a little dirty… Bring on the medium Hairburners. This involved PAX lining up in a plank and then pushing the rock across the slushy puddle-strewn field until we reached the fence whereupon we crawled backwards, pulling the rock back to the starting point.

    Rocks Up was next (20 reps IC), followed by the Bear Crawl Snake> punctuated by War Eagle’s admiration of Hand Grenada’s calves.

    After a brief mosey, YHC found a suitably nasty patch of ground triangulated by 3 trees, around which PAX would break into 3 groups for the Bearmuda Triangle. All PAX do 2 burpees then bear crawl to next tree, 4 burpees, then bear crawl to next tree, 8 burpees, then bear crawl to next tree, 16 burpees.

    Sufficiently dirty, we headed back to our rocks for one final punishment – Rapid Fire Rock Set, where YHC delegated the cadence calling to the Chatty Kathy members of the group.

    With aching shoulders and a couple of minutes to spare, slow Abe Vigodas were in order, followed by a quick mosey to the COT, circling up at 6:14:59 – that’s Fast Tax efficiency…
    Name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.

    Thanks for the fellowship!

  • El Diablo: the Devil is in the Upper Chest and the burpees—of course – from Bolt

    YHC finally arrived to Q toting 5 new exercises, 4 novel exercise implements, the Bolt 3M promise, 2 coupons, and 1 speaker. During the thick of it, the ever-astute Hawg picked up on the playlist theme and while I’m not 420-friendly, I’m not above culturally appropriating references of Goo Nation so I went with it. It should be duly noted Charmin was horrified and perplexed by the playlist (and secretly enjoying it, replete with his requisite guilt—of course) but I digress https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3EdFoz3pFUQxfJbvRL0WRa?si=4j7Qkg4ARpOg4CBZCB5VjQ

    The devil is in the details because the new exercises all activate the rarely trained upper chest and the hope was we would feel the fire burning as if the devil himself was being expelled from the upper two thirds of our pecs; I’ll count on the pax to weigh in.

    Warmorama: Rapper’s Delight Version (too long for this workout) complete with MNC for Frac, with penalty burpees for too much mumblechatter

    We didn’t get to round 6 bc:
    Too much bitchin’ about how long the new exercises took to explain—they r NEW!

  • Creativity Gone Awry – from Fast Tax

    The Uptowner 4/01/2022 – Yes, I know it’s late…

    Notwithstanding that YHC originally listed Battle Frisburpee on the website as a description for the day’s exercise, YHC was hoping to debut (or beta test) a few new ideas. However, the Pontiff custodians threw a curve ball, given that the usual gate to the field and our COT area was locked. No matter…persevere, adapt, and overcome.

    After disclaimer being said on the jogging path, we headed North along the fence for 30ish yards and stopped for warmups consisting of:

    Bat Wings
    Manatees
    Crab Merkins Plank
    Australian Mountain Climber (upside down, vertical mountain climber performed against the fence)

    While still against the fence, and having some success trying out the Australian Mountain Climber, YHC thought it was a good time to dive into his next creation – the Crazy Indian Chicken Pecker.

    All PAX against the fence (or wall of a building) in balls to the wall (BTTW) position. While all PAX are doing Chicken Peckers (aka upside down shoulder taps i.e. Feet up on the fence/wall, hands on the ground, lift your hand and touch your opposite shoulder) the last PAX drops down from BTTW and runs to the front of the line then gets back into BTTW position and continues the Chicken Peckers. Next PAX follows and this repeats until Q says to stop or PAX begin to mutiny. It took less than a minute for signs of an impending mutiny to be evident. Time to abort. Maybe retool and reintroduce later, maybe not.

    On to the next exercise, the Triple Check: Separating into teams of three, the first PAX holds the peoples’ chair, second man in front of him in plank, third man sprints 100 yards and back, then cycle positions, rinse and repeat times two more times.

    Final exercise before the game was the Mad Mad Race.
    Keeping the teams of three, each PAX in the team chose one of the following exercises: soldier crawl, broad jump, or crab walk – no duplicates. From the line, the teams had to traverse 40ish yards, switch positions, and come back. Losing two teams had to do 15 burpees and the winning team did five. With Bolt lamenting the lack of Burpee opportunities, we all added 10 more.

    With 25 minutes left, it was time for Battle Frisburpee. As YHC hopped the fence and began to setup the cones, the remaining PAX were running to the next gate, since the usual entrance was locked. Alas, entry to the field was not meant to be…all gates were locked. Quickly picking up the cones and vaulting them and me over the fence, we made it to the baseball diamond with about 15 minutes to spare.

    Battle Frisburpee:
    Team 1 – Pillsbury, PVC, Hand Grenada, and Bolt
    Team 2 – Boo-Boo, Bogey, Scantron, and Fast Tax

    Team 2 prevailed, 4-1 (I think…could have been the other way around or I could have screwed up the teams since it’s been 8 days since we played 🙂

    With game over we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.

  • War Eagle Would Have Been Proud – from Fast Tax

    El Diablo 3/23/2022 – Better late than never…

    As YHC was heading to El Diablo that fine morning, the plan was to introduce a few new routines that had bounced around my creative brain yesterday, together with some Fast Tax favorites. However, as YHC walked up to the flag and saw the 15 other PAX in attendance, that plan got tossed as YHC realized, with a little prodding from Rudy, that we have never had a 16 PAX game of Battle Frisburpee. Time for an audible…

    With disclaimers being said, we headed down the jogging path toward the rock pile pausing every 30 yards or so for warmups, consisting of:
    SSH
    Hairy Rockettes
    Swan Dives
    Crab Merkins Plank

    Once we arrived at the rock pile, and unwilling to jump right into the Battle, YHC began the day’s festivities with Fee Fi Fo Fum: PAX selected medium rocks then starting on a line with your rock, each PAX performed the following sequence OYO: Squat, double arm shotput rock, broad jump toward rock, lunge the remaining distance and repeat the sequence until Q said stop. Repeat back to the rock pile.

    Welsh Dragons were next.
    Remain in plank position the whole time. Bear crawl forward 4 steps, do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and tap the BACK of each shoulder 1 time. Repeat adding 1 rep to each exercise each time – bear crawl forward 4 steps, do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, 2 sets of back of shoulder taps… etc. Go until you get to 10 reps each, you’ve covered 30-50 feet, or until your arms fall off – whichever comes first.

    Next event was Wall of Fire: While PAX are doing People’s chair, take turns doing 10xmerkins 10xLBCs and 3 burpees. YHC quickly realized that 16 in a circle may be a little too much to hold people’s chair 3 times around…Time for Battle Frisburpee

    Battle Frisburpee:
    After laying out the cones and a quick recap of the rules for PAX in attendance, we divvied up into teams and began to battle. YHC later realized that with 16 people, the field should have been at least 5 yards wider. Thus, the new width guideline is 15 yds for 10 or less people, 20 yards for 12 – 14, and 25 yards for 16+.

    Team 1 (Shirts): Vagabond, Hawgcycle, Rougarou, Left Coast, MacGyver, Pilsbury, Bogie, Hand Grenada
    Team 2 (Skins): Hokie, Scantron, Rudy, PVC, Gabrielle, Boo Boo, Mahatma, Fast Tax

    The battle was hard fought and close. The “last one touched” rule (strategically hit opposing team members that guard too closely) was used effectively and often by both sides. The potential of the Baller to dole out punishment (vis a vis penalty burpees when the ball hits you) was best epitomized by Hawgcycle, who was by far the most promiscuous Baller in history. Also notable was Team 1’s (and maybe Team 2 once or twice) utter lack of regard for the 3-burpee contact rule.

    However, the most noteworthy was MacGyver’s expansion of the game into a full contact sport in a way that would have made War Eagle proud.

    In the end, Team 1 could not overcome Team 2’s superior strategy and execution.
    Team 2 carried the day with a final score of 5-4.

    With game over we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.
    Followed by Coffeteria and a discussion/clarification of the rules at PJs (See below).

    Rule clarification:
    1) If the Frisbee goes out of bounds in the air and then back in without touching the ground, it is still considered out of bounds and a turnover at the point it initially went out.
    2) If a PAX catches the Frisbee in the opposing team’s goalie box and is hit by the baller at the same time, THE TIE GOES TO THE FRISBEE RECEIVER.
    3) There is no interfering with the other side’s ball.
