Have a great week. Go Get Some…
So, Troubled Waters is back on a Saturday only schedule, which is a little disheartening to YHC. I really enjoyed the weekday beatdowns, but alas, attendace has diminished and EH’ing had not filled the void that was left. I hope we can get back on a weekly schedule soon, but until then, we beatdown on Saturday. I had a nice little surprise EH today. My 2.0, (all 10 years of him) asked to come this morning, so up we got and off we went.
I had this beatdown broken into 3 15 minute sessions, which would’ve brought the PAX to extreme pain, but I didn’t factor in the mosy time, and the mumble chatter, so we only got to 2 of them, which was probably for the best, considering the condition we were in after the 2nd one.
WarmUp
Arm Circles 10x’s every which way, backwards, forwards, with some OH claps & Seal claps thrown in there.

Never Cross Dolly
Outlaw
Plank, High
No more time, gotta mosy to the Xbox. 1/4mile lap around the ball fields, and pace off 10 meters
Death by 10 Meters
Nothing fancy, just running 1 10m dash on the first minute and waiting the remainder of that minute. Then, 2 10m dashes on the second minute and rest. Repeat ascending until you cannot complete a round. Smart money was on Joe Dirt on this one, as he is young, competitive and has a soccer pedigree, but nobody was going to try to make it easy on him.
Terabyte – 5 rounds, (I believe)
FNG – 6 rounds
Mathlete – 10 rounds
Torque – 15 rounds, 15 reps
Joe Dirt – 16 rounds, 12 reps
Kimchi -16 rounds, 16 reps.
It was an epic showing of will and determination versus speed and athleticism. Both men prevailed over their weaknesses, but Kimchi took the court that day. Well done sir.
POW walk out of the Xbox, past the fidget spinner, mosy from the Playstation back to the array of shovel flags in the ground.
Countorama, Nameorama, where I got to bestow my 2.0 with the name ‘BrickMaster’, for his love and proficiency with Lego’s. He’s already excited to come back. Hopefully, the N.O. PAX will come around to the kind gesture of giving the younger FNG’s cool names, so they have a desire to come back. Time will tell on poor Tinkerbell.
A pleasure to lead and it was a pleasure to get together under the bridge with the guys again. See you soon!
Torque
The attendance at Troubled Waters is equal parts suffering and sustaining. We lost a faithful weekly member when Kimchi got accepted to Ptech school and got another one when Nih was EH’d. We still need to invite some new people, so please be EH’ing folks. EVERYONE NEEDS to be healthier and more disciplined!
Came to the AO this morning and Joe Dirt and Nih were already there with a flag in the ground. Off we go:
Mosy around the long track, stop at the fidget spinner for some warmup
10 OH Claps
10 Merkins
10 Peter Parker Merkins
Mosy to the Playstation for some 3 Person Dora 1-2-3, 1 man runs, 1 man works, 1 man rests
100 Pullups / 200 WW2 Situps / 300 Squats
This got a little spicy if you pushed the run, but the rest period was enough that after a few rounds Joe Dirt and I started doing extra pulls to finish the ISI challenge. Still have some work left to do.
One more full lap around the track.
Name-O, Count-O, quick note of appreciation for the men. I wouldn’t have gotten out of the fartsack this morning if I didn’t know they were going to be there. Grateful for them.
Torque
So, we had an interesting PAX this morning. I picked up Rinse, a 6 year old stud athlete, and met Nih at the AO. And off we went each of us about a decade and a half different in age from the next closest one. Someone watching the three of us burp and mark and count and pray might have felt like Goldilocks stumbling into the bear’s home.
No worries. The Troubled Water crew takes great pride in beating down a diverse PAX. We’ve been acclimated by suffering the indignity of watching Joe Dirt do his workout, then do ours, then bang out more pushups while we suck for air and ring our shirts dry.
Off we go.
Warmup with some arm circles, ssh’s, merkins, a little core work and take a lap around the park to the fidget spinner/water fountain area.
Getting It
Burp and Merk: 1-10 and back to 1
Burp and Groiner: 1-10 and back to 1
Burpees: 1-10 and back to 1
Small bead of sweat are beginning to be visible on Rinse now. I’m drenched thoroughly. Nih is almost dead. I feel like I’m doing this right so far.
Mosy to the PlayStation with some butt kicks, high knees and prisoner walks
4 Rounds:
10 Pull Up Timer
Other pax work until the 10 pull-ups are done
High Plank Hold
American Hammers
About now, I notice that Rinse is really sweating. Breathing heavy and everything. Still moving like an Automaton through the work, but his humanity was peeking out. Nih, on the other hand, scaled the pulls and has recovered nicely. I’m still sweating far more than than should be possible.
Mosy across the street and sprint up the Levee for some:
Quadriphelia
4 Rounds,
Running down the hill, Running backwards up the hill and performing 4 squats at the top.
Head back across the street and to the playground for some Mary. I’ve decided that all Mary should involve hanging from something.
Round Robin Q/Q school Mary
One of my first posts at Okwata, Hawgcycle circled everyone up, and we did a round robin Q. He explained how we call out the exercise, begin the work, do cadence, and I wanted to expose these guys to it as well. So, I gave an explanation of how we would do the Mary. How we start the exercise, keep cadence and off we went.
Hello Dolly

Hanging Leg Raises, one leg at a time

Knee Ups
Well this has nothing to do with the novel or the upcoming movie Ready Player One. No this has to do with having one player today at the “playstation” and the “xbox” (the jury is still out on this name for the tennis courts). Anyway it works for today. 0530 came around and YHC was ready to take on on for what YHC planned, which was nothing.
Warm Up
Next YHC moseyed to the “playstation” to perform pull ups x10. When completed YHC moseyed around the “xbox” and then entered to perform 4 corners. Corner 1 merkins, C 2 werkins, C 3 staggered marks L/R, C4 diamond marks. First round 20 at ea corner then went to 10 and final round 5. Next time for some Jack Webbs but with squats and squat jumps. Going to 10 squats and 20 squat jumps. Headed over to the “playstation” to do 10 more pull ups then moseyed to the VSF for some Mary.
Mary
This birthday started with a great workout but calling all PAX who know anyone in the Destrehan area who would like to join F3. As always. Embrace the suck and drive on.
Kimchi
YHC awoke Tuesday morning at 0527 for the 0530 beatdown at TW. The battle for fartsacking began in the brain. This battle was short due to the fact I knew other PAX was going to be there under the bridge. YHC was coming in HOT! Then what I saw disappointed in myself. There was no PAX to be seen. The time was 0545. Thoughts in my head started “I hope they did not leave due to know body else showing up. I let them down. Well I cannot dwell on this too long due to the beatdown must go on.
YHC started with 4 laps around the park and then found a nice piece on the big ball to complete 50 push ups without stopping. I had to go to my knees in order to complete this portion. After this it was about time for some Mary a IC. YHC performed LBCs x20, Flutter Kicks x20, Nolan Ryan’s x10 ea side, Marge Simpsons x20. After this there was 1 min left and YHC ran to the pull up to knock out some pull ups due to the monthly challenge, x15.
Again I feel sorry that I let the PAX at TW down this Tuesday morning. Anyway always embrace the suck and drive on.
Kimchi
YHC woke up late again and in the rush of the morning I tripped and fell. Then I looked up to see that I broke something that was given to my wife at some point in her life. Oh well deal with that bridge when I come to it. (It was not a big deal. Dodge that one.) YHC drove up after 0530 but planted the flag and had my 75# buddy with me. Gave the disclaimer to myself and I was off.
Warm Up
After I put my buddy on my shoulders and off to the playstation. Here 11s took place with 1 merkin and then squats with my friend. Between each round i decided to perform pull ups x10. After 3 rounds i decided to hold off on those suckers. After completion of the 11s YHC brought my friend back to the SF. You did good kid. YHC then ran two laps around the park stopping at the playstation to perform the remainder of the pull ups x10 between each lap. At the SF there was time for some Mary
Mary
Embrace the suck and drive on!!
Kimchi
YHC was driving to Troubled Waters in the heavy rain but fear not we have a concrete umbrella. As I pulled into the parking lot to notice Torque was already parked and ready for a beatdown. The rain did spoil my plans but I will make due. 0530 came along gave a quick disclaimer and we are off.
The Warmup
Then doubled time to the “playstation” for you guessed it pull ups, due to the August challenge.

I had a seminar in Metairie at 8:30, so had to cut it short and no coffee today. Next week, Mathlete Q’s the mothership, so Troubled Waters will road trip again, as will be the custom when a TW native Q’s mothership.
Moleskine:
Tough Workout. Would’ve been tougher if I brought my notes and did it the way I planned. Beware Kimchi, the real beatdown is coming!
COT – BOM prayers for Terabyte, Mathlete and Joe Dirt while they’re putting in extra hours, days and weeks with their jobs.
Big prayers for Chipper and his M, who were in the hospital in labor. They didn’t progress though, and they’re back home waiting for their 2.0 to finish baking.
There is a Tuesday morning tradition at Troubled Waters. Kimchi and I look at each other, and say, “what do you want to do today?”. Usually one of us steps up for warmup while the other one figures up a beatdown. This Tuesday was different. We still looked at each other and asked the question, but this time we had an answer. B.O.M.B.S. It’s simple and it’s rough. Thankfully, Nih had been waiting in the construction traffic that backed up through the off ramp to the bridge park and joined us to share the explosion 🙂
