  • 7 OGs at CP – from Reluctant Yankee

    Mis-timed my launch to get ALL the way out to City Park aka CP and arrived for my Q – 1 min late. Luckily one of the guys started it off with some burpees and then a short mosey to the Peristyle. At approx 631 I started my Q with a COP #1 at the Peristyle.
    My apologies for the late arrival – it has been awhile since I have posted so FAR AWAY.
    SSH (Rudy making fun of my arm motion)-x 20, Imperial Scott Squat Walkers x 25, Mtn Climbers x 20, and Plank Jacks x 20 MOnkey Humpers x 20
    Started our run towards the track!
    Slowed for our 6 – we did AROUND THE CLOCK merks x 8 at 12,3 6, and 9 oclock using the curb in front of storyland.
    Then we moseyed to the gate at TAD GORMLEY for hanging calf raises forward x 20 backward x 20 and decline shoulder taps x 20 *watch out for spikers!
    Finally we mosey’d over to the track!
    THE DEAL: DIRTY MACDEUCE
    RAN A LAP – then we did staggered merks, roaches and low slow squats x 12
    RAN A LAP – then we did staggered merks the other way, monkey humpers, russian twists x 12
    RAN A LAP – then we did wide merks, lunges forward, freddies x 12
    RAN A LAP – then we did side lunges, walking plank, and omarys x 12
    **Brother Martin and MT Carmel track teams were trying to figure out how to operate around these old guys – some mumblechatter of the appropriateness of monkey humpers and omarys in front of the kids
    Ran down ROOSEVELT MALL to the front of NOMA
    at the fountain we did Step Ups R and L x 20, Bulgarians L/R x 20 and Shoulder Taps x 20
    Ran back to the FLAG – stopped at the big field for a few quick Mary exercises.
    Hip Dips x 10 each side, Ys and Ws for the back x 20 and Birddogs x 20.
    Then we finished up at the FLAG.
    Quick circle to hope for a decrease in violent crime in NOLA.
    I enjoyed dragging myself out to CP – I almost never want to get up in the AM and post but after a beatdown I always appreciate the fellowship/faith and Never regret the fitness.

    Until the next time…

    Thanks for opportunity to lead

  • Good Time (although maybe too much) – from Charmin

    Today was a good time
    We picked up some we hadn’t seen in a little while
    And also picked up some along the way
    Also there were two runners
    The last ruckers arrived back after 50 minutes to much ‘adulation’.

  • Frac It, I’ll Q! – from Fracsac

    8 Pax kicked off the week right by posting to the Renaissance. With the Q sheet empty, YHC assumed that meant the pax deferred to the site Q. Challenge accepted!

    Warmup facing the bacon with regular stuff and ending with 10 x 8 count body builders.

    Route 66 Vagabond style at the lamp posts. Start with 11 burpees and work down to 1. MoT was running.

    The Suck – 666 style. 3 minutes of 6 SSH, 6 merkins and 6 jump squats over and over. Call out your rounds complete.
    1 minute rest then rinse and repeat. Penalty if first round number not exceeded. Lucky for the Pax, Catfish came through!

    Mosey to field for some 4 on 4 frisbee passing action. Cones set up in a circle, 5 passes equals 1 point. Rules a little sketchy, but some good passes and all were sweaty in the end.

    Finish off with Sunday Mornings.

    Great stuff! Thanks for posting and for the fabulous Coffeteria that followed.

  • Something About Mary – from Heisenberg

    Having worked out at Wolfpack on Friday with Gabby (still waiting on backblast) and Mothership with Rudy on Saturday, my arms and legs were a little sore. My core was not, so with the intent to make my core sore I devised an ab-centric workout. Arriving with 45 seconds to spare at the NOMA fountain I announced the theme to Tool, Vagabond and Catfish. Abdominal workouts and abdominal surgeries are in conflict, so Catfish went for a run.
    Everything was “in cadence”.

    Warm-up Imperial Walkers, Abe Vigoda’s, Grass Grabbers, (We were joined by Fracsac and Triple Shift each of whom were four minutes late) Arm Circles, on our faces for W’s, Y’s and T’s. To the top of the NOMA steps for a Deep Sea Diver with shoulder taps

    1. LBC
    2. Raised Leg – Crunch
    3. Freddy Mercury

    Plank O Rama

    COT.

  • Runners, Stretchers, and Runners Who Became Stretchers – from Bolt

    After the Monday fartsack I decided to drop a comment in the Pontiff channel as a form of commitment to showing up today and upon rising I saw Pillsbury had made me accountable with a thumbs up emoji—no choice now; thank you, Pillsbury! As 530 struck, a dozen pax took to the track or the pavilion for their preferred version of the gloom—track sprints with Pai Gow or S&M with YHC. Triple and Mahatma split time between both. 45 minutes elapsed, then COT.

  • Dewars, Storks and Peanut Butter and Butter – from Rudy

    Yesterday (April 14th) was 3rd anniversary of my dad’s passing. YHC brought some memories to the beatdown this am. At 628am, YHC opened up the Mini, asked everyone to grab a pair of bricks. At 630am, YHC turned on the 80s playlist, and the 13 PAX moseyed (with their bricks) to the Peristyle.

    But wait – Cheese Steak rolled in hot. YHC back to the car to get one more set of bricks. A few minutes later, our DR visitor from Chicago (Bob the Builder) rolled in. Hokie went for more bricks.

    After a brief warmup (thank you Mahatma!), we got to work. We were going to visit a few places in the park. At each place, we’d have a cycle of exercises – 60 seconds on, 20 second rest.

    Stop #1: The Peristyle with bricks. My father’s favorite evening night cap was a splash of Dewars. We still keep a bottle of it around with my family to periodically celebrate. 2 rounds of exercises to spell out DEWARS

    Donkey Kicks
    Eagle Wings (bat wings stuff – with bricks)
    Wonderbra (peoples chair – then push the bricks out, then push’em up)
    American Hammer
    Rocky Balboa
    Starfish crunch

    Stop #2: Return the bricks to the Mini, and head to the rocks by the fountain. My father was an OB/GYN. His passion was delivering babies. What else delivers babies? 2 rounds of exercises (con roca) to spell out STORK

    Squats
    T-Merkins
    Overhead Press
    Rows
    Kettlebell Swings

    Triple Shift gratefully let YHC have a shot with TS’s rock while TS proceeded to one-arm Overhead Press YHC’s rock. Eventually, Frac relieved YHC.

    Stop #3: Return the rocks, mosey to the little foundry. My father’s favorite treat that he introduced to my kids – the Peanut Butter and Butter sandwich (only to be made with spreadable tub butter). 2 rounds of PBB exercises

    Pull Ups
    Burpees
    Big Boy Situps

    Stop #4: Stop by the Tool Wall. As the cancer took his life, he lost strength in his legs. YHC will pay a bit of honor with some leg strengtheners.

    Calf Raises
    Monkey Humpers
    Bonnie Blairs (modify to Lunges)
    Calf Raises

    Couldn’t get through 2 full rounds as. we were already late. Back to the flag – getting their about 5 minutes late. YHC didn’t apologize for the delay, as he didn’t feel bad about it.

    Finished with our COT. Prayers offered for other PAX who also go through struggles with their aging parents and health concerns.

    Thank you all for allowing me to celebrate my father’s life. He meant the world to me. I miss him daily. But I know he has moved on to the next phase of his life, and I know I will be rejoining him again one day.

  • Tongue tied VQ By Pillsbury – from Pillsbury

    I woke up this morning at 4:00 am sharp in anticipation of my VQ. I arrived at the AO 5:05 am and walk the area to scout-out the locations for our morning workout.

    Once that was figured out I sat quietly on a bench waiting for the arrival of the PAX.

    It looked like it was going to be a perfect morning to VQ.

    I made a disclaimer about how i get tongue tied and in true fashion I tripped over my words and TOLD the PAX to HURT THEMSELVES 😳……..

    Instead of “I’m not a professional push yourself DO NOT HURT YOURSELF!”

    Mosey over to a very well light and manicured lawn for Warmorama

    side-straddle hop
    Abe vigoda’s
    Arm circles forward
    Arm circles backwards
    Self love
    Peter Parker’s

    Mosey over to rock pile to select any size rock and riffle carry to parking lot where we did..……

    Elevens:

    Started with 10 merkins, then proceeded with alternate lunges to first drain in the parking lot, where we did 1 big boy sit ups.
    Back to starting area any way you wanted (walking, bear crawl, hop, skip, etc)
    Repeat and rinse until you had 1 merkin and 10 big boy sit-ups.

    Mosey over to pavilion where we did count down starting at 10

    10 Dips, 10 calf raises, 10 baby crunches
    Repeat and rinse.

    Went back to parking lot picked up our rocks to riffle carry back to rock pile.

    Sprinted back outside of the sable were we proceeded with 10 burpees. With several minutes on the clock PAX step in with some last minute actions to finish the rest of time.

    Ended in Name A-Rama, intentions, and closing prayer
