  • Young at Heart – from TurboTax

    With a combined age approaching 300, 5 young at heart PAX kick started their Wednesday with a tough one at The Gipper. A warm up of imperial walkers, shoulder taps, side straddle hops, Peter Parkers, seal jacks, Parker Peters, merkins and toe touches got the blood flowing for our mosey to the Justice Center.

    It wasn’t the same without Steve, but somehow we managed a nice set of Bulgarian split squats combining isometric holds, dynamic movements and then plyometrics. Rinse and repeat but this time with incline merkins.

    Lunge walk and bear crawl to the stairs for some Wile E Coyote.

    Recovery walk to the mailboxes then some Mary: Scuba Steve’s, Nolan Ryan’s, flutter kicks, Superman’s, hello Dolly’s and jackknives.

    Run with burpees at every light to the flag where we circled up for curtesy squats, single leg RDLs and good mornings.

    Back to the stairs for a few rounds up and around and then a nice long walk sit.

    Mosey to the shovel flag for a final exercise-a back plank.

    Countorama, nameorama and Einstein prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead guys. SYITG.

  • Recovering mosey and FLORA!! – from Shooter

    With our first cold front upon us, YHC looked to the Exicon for a partner containing coupon routine and FLORA showed herself.. After some chatter under the breezeway with Moby, Fletch and Einstien about Hot Springs AR. and the Diamond 💎 explores toward our north…BBQ comes in hot crunching gravel and exiting his vehicle to confirm our last arrival of the gloom.. We started in with an extended warmup of 20IC Seal jacks, Toe Touches, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, Butt kicks, Cherry Pickers and Grass Grabbers. We Moseyed around the trailhead toward the courthouse and back around Lola’s with fresh smell 👃🏻 of breakfast in the air.. Upon return we selected our coupons from behind the container and after splitting into 2 groups we commenced to starting in on FLORA.. Completed 100,200,300
    with recovery Mosey in between each… The Goblet squat and hold proved most difficult to the Q, as I know this will be felt in the next few days… According to Moby the men of this Gipper morning may be walking with a little swagger in the days to come.. Once complete we closed with Mary consisting of 10 OYO bridges each leg, then alternating toe to heel Jane Fonda’s, half hold Fonda’s and Pulsating Fonda’s all IC 10 count… Wrapped up with 20IC Hello Dollies, Rosalitas and Hands to heels…

    Appreciate all you single, double and triple respected brethren for the post and allowing me to lead!!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Upper Deck with a Deck – from Einstein

    Cool – mid 50s atop the Justice Center Parking Garage.

    Warmup:
    all 15xIC: Toe Touch, Side Straddle Hops, Shoulder Rolls, Imperial Walkers, Arm Circles, Neck Rolls

    Thang:
    With Deck of Cards, each pax is assigned their suit: Moby-hearts, Jose10K-spades, Hammer-diamonds, Fletch-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.
    The pax came up with a lot of good calls; diamond merkins, seal merkins, standard merkins, burpees, crackin-burpess, man-makers, shoulder-tap merkins, hand-release merkins, squats, lunges, freak nasties, leg lifts, crunches, peter-parkers, etc.
    Joker #1 – back-peddle down and up the inclined ramp
    Joker #2 – one minute of Rocky Balboa

    With continous motion and no laying around, everyone worked up a good sweat.

    BBQ missed it all, again – his sweat-o-meter KCC hat would have registered way south of the top squatchee button.

    Count-o-rama

    The Hammer led us out with a prayer

  • Kamara Ingram and Moby – from TurboTax

    Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram have nothing on Moby Dick. At least that’s the way it looked from my perspective at The Gipper this morning. Allow YHC to explain.

    After a quick warmup of toe touches, shoulder taps, windmills, Peter Parker’s, Imperial Walkers, Parker Peters and Seal jacks, the PAX made its way to the back of the Justice Center for the Thang.

    Partner up with partner 1 executing burpees while partner 2 runs up and down the stairs to relieve partner 1. 50 burpees per team. Then we combined crossover runs first with 100 45 degree lunges and second with 200 simulated jump ropes.

    We then brought the show to the front of the Justice Center for the main event. YHC laid out the cones and we sprinted, backpedaled, cut, juked and otherwise ran agility drills like any other professional team. It was impressive stuff I tell you, but Moby was particularly impressive. Like I said, Alvin and Mark are lucky the Saints scouts did not post this morning, or they might both be out of a job.

    Thanks for letting me lead this morning guys. Always fun.

  • Getting a Tune-up!! – from Shooter

    With the final week of IPC approaching at the mothership on Saturday YHC decided to bring a tune-up of sorts out to the Gipper.. We started out with a warmup of 10IC Windmills, Grass grabbers, Good mornings, Cherry pickers, Arm circles, SSH and Imperial walkers..

    PAX moseyed around Covington to different locals for called exercises while partnering up at each stop..

    First stop St. Tammany school board office for P1 wall sits 3x while P2 moseyed around the building.

    Second stop front of the Justice center P1 step ups while P2 bunny hopped up each step R/R 2x.

    Third stop back of Justice center where P1 utilized benches for Irkins while P2 bear crawled up and crawl bear down 3x.

    Fourth stop first floor of parking garage for Donkey kickoffs P1 while P2 Carioca the flat and sprint back 2x..

    Returned to the flag for 2 mins of plank and alternating left/right arm high plank..

    All in all we kept the heart rate up with the moseying and enjoyed the tune up for Saturdays final IPC!!

    Count, announce, COT

    Thanks to Fletch for the close in prayer and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Back in Black – from TurboTax

    Good to be back at The Gipper after an extended absence and while YHC actually was wearing a white t-shirt this morning, “Back in White” does not have the same cache’ as “Back in Black.” So there.

    White or black didn’t matter to the substance of the beatdown though. After a warmup of SSHs, shoulder taps, toe touches, Peter Parkers, seal jacks, Parker Peters, and windmills, it was off to Bedrock to kick off the Thang.

    Small boulders were identified and lifted in 90 degrees planes of motion as the PAX either re-habed or pre-habed their shoulders.

    Sufficiently warm, we moseyed to the Justice Center for an animal parade of sorts, Partner 1 performing an exercise (shoulder taps, plank reach throughs, 45 degree lunges, and curtsey squats) while Partner motored about 40 yards and back (bear crawls, reverse bear crawls, ostrich walks, gorilla walks, lateral lunges, crabwalks, and giraffe walks).

    Back to the shovel flag for some Mary with dynamic back and the side planks.

    Countorama, nameorama and then Einstein prayed us out.

    Nice to be back in the PAX. Thanks as always for letting me lead.
