  • How do you get to 100…..1 at a time – from Mahatma

    The morning air was wet with streaks of lightning off in the distance – a perfect setting of gloom for the Uptowner.

    8 pax meet in the chain link box at Pontiff with high anticipation of what this morning will bring. YHC approached with a trash bag of goodies and his boom box fully charged.

    Playlist started with “Greenie Rule” in effect. If you don’t know and are curious sift through my last couple of BB for description otherwise if you don’t care no problem as it will be in all future beatdowns that tunes are played.

    Quick disclaimer with Charmine emphasizing that YHC is not a professional…..which I whole heartedly agreed and we kicked off the warm up.
    5-7 of each
    SSH
    ABVAGODA
    MNT MAN POOPERS
    GOOD MORNINGS
    5 OYO Burpees for good measure

    Slow mosey to the kiddie land – 2 lines formed at the rings for pull ups 3 rounds of 3.
    5 Burpees for good measure

    Mosey back
    5 more Burpees – at this point Bolt is seeing that YHC is at least attempting to maintain the focus towards 100.

    Cnt off 1,2 until 2 4 pax teams created. Cones and bats brought out for relay challenge.
    The 2 teams competed:
    1st in dizydean burpee which was 5 times around the bat then perform 5 burpees run to the other side repeat 5 times around the bat followed by 5 more burpees then run back. Each time the bat was dropped another pax was to jump in. End in a close tie with Hokie and Charmine sprinting to the finish so ALL did 5 penalty burpees.
    2nd was the same except no burpees after the 5 times around the bat – team 1 lost and had 5 penalty burpees yet most of not all pax on team 2 joined in.

    At this point there had been 2 Greenie changes – YHC and Sandbar

    Now the “game” – Cabbage-Burpees which was 1st played in the Summer of 2019 (before the world went crazy!!!! and things we know today are the unfortunate infiltrations of our past)

    How it’s played:
    2 pitches (if the pitcher sucks he will be penalized by YHC with Burpees then moved to a new position).
    Strike Out – batter 5 BP
    1st out batting team 2BP
    2nd out 4BP
    Ea base hit or advanced base equals a BP for the defense.
    So a single 1
    Double 2
    Triple 3
    HR 5
    These are to be performed immediately after the batting takes place before next batter for both offense and defense.

    1 burpee for ea run scores accumulated for the inning and performed between innings while changing roles on the field.

    Losing team 10 burpee Penalty.
    Team 1 – Hokie, Sandbar, Stroganoff and Mahatma
    Def
    Team 2 – Glamper, Bolt, Charmine and Rafiki

    Mary – x 20 weighted ball with BigBoy sit ups
    X 20 leg extension throws (you had to be there to understand)

    Prayers for our brother TenderLoin who will be undergoing open heart surgery next Friday. No doubt God brought him into our Pax to help build a base of support both physically and spiritually for what lies ahead. I’m confident he will be back on his feet in no time running the track.

  • Cinco de Julio – from Fracsac

    3 pax beat the fartsack and hit the track to get some miles in. 100 % participation at Coffeteria.

  • Just for the Record – from Mahatma

    YHC was already pushing the clock to arrive with a few minutes to set up……coming down the street the red flashing lights was a signal…..patients. YHC was confident that the Pax would carry on and after planting the speaker on the field, he headed towards the sound of cadence where War Eagle had just finished the warm up and it was time to work.

    Everyone grab your favorite medium size rock and line up for an overhead Indian run to the field. We planted our rocks midway then headed the bleachers.
    Several rounds of rail exercises with one merkin climb up to the top of the bleachers mixing in some big boy sit ups at the bottom. Once everyone had enough we moseyed back to the field for a concert……Phil Colins “in the air tonight” – plank throughout with merkins during the good part holding plank again to the end approx 5:30. Then AC/DC “Thunder Struck” burpees on every mention of the word “THUNDER” YHC estimated 36 but was caught on several attempts trying to entice the Pax yet the hearing was very good.
    Now time for rock exercises – OH press, curls, rows, front raises, chest press. TriCep press……you get the picture. As the music died we returned the rocks the same way we came, Indian style.
    5 minutes of Mary then back to the flag.

  • If Not Me Then Who? – from Fracsac

    YHC got a text from the Site Q late last night that he was Down Range and asked if YHC could take it. Being tired and sore, the answer wanted to be no. Then YHC remembered a saying. “If not me, then who?”

    5 Pax for the Wally sprint. Mile warmup, followed by the ladder of 100m up to 400m with a 100m recovery between each. Up and down until 0615.

  • Rock – Smurph – from Mahatma

    Yep Bolt and Charmin didn’t see it coming as they both had notice that the real HIMs were going to Fracs announced Murph starting late for those who wanted to sleep in or get up an extra 45 minutes early (if you live in the rural) “Metry/RiverRidge” area to make the 30-40 minute drive uptown for Biebers announced 1/2 Murph. After a week of pure business travel – out of town out of touch returning to indulge in the Memorial Day weekend – now a little beat up from all the festivities the plan was Very simple – show up with a big speaker – Rock playlist and the idea of a Smurph. Had Bolt arrived ahead of YHC with his mini Bose the BB could be a completely different narrative yet we all have those eye opening experiences…….Smurph you say?! I’m sure there was a feeling of being trapped as we slow moseyed with speaker in hand towards the playground yet neither showed any fear so after a quick warm up the Smurph was on for time – 1/2 mile run 10 rounds of 5 pull ups, 10 merkins and 15 squats finished by another 1/2 mile run. Once done we had some time for stretching and a little Mary. Tenderloin did his laps and sitting a spell or 2 or……

    COT where we gave thanks, asked for God’s Grace on our intentions and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. Closed with the pledge of allegiance.

    All said some things are best accomplished when we simply put our heads down and do it.

  • Frac Rocks the City – from Fracsac

    Frac week continued with a stop at the AO known as Rock City, The Rock City, The Real Rock City. The theory that Slaughter proposed would once again be put to the test.
    Warmup started with the typical stuff, including 31 SSH and of course MNC where dancing was highly encouraged.
    Mosey to the rock pile.
    Circle up for a little modified shock and awe.
    SSH IC x 5 followed by 10 burpees OYO
    SSH IC x 5 and 9 burpees OYO
    Stop at SSH IC x 5 and 3 burpees OYO
    That gets us to 52.
    Partner up and grab a rock, a big Rock, a Real Big Rock! Heisenberg took this quite literal!
    Partner 1 Carrie’s the rock ahead while partner 2 does 5 squats and 2 Merkins then sprints up to swap. Out about 250 yards and back.
    Throw the rocks back and mosey to the field.
    EMOM x 5 with burpees. 10 for first 3 minutes and 11 for last 2 minutes. That’s another 52!
    Last we played a little variation of ultimate football followed by some Mary with Catalina Wine Mixers x 10.

    NMM

    The pax proved again that Slaughter was wrong. These men were not soft in the 1st F, they were strong in the 2nd F and they exploded with the 3rd F!
    Thanks for joining me today as YHC celebrates his latest journey around the Sun!
