  • LAST Friday of RunCajunRun – from Jose10k

    YHC, sore calf and all, decided to prethang a little early and a lot slower. 3 other younger HIMs joined me at 5:15 for the last official RunCajunRun beatdown at the A1C. Warm-ups, of course, mumble chatter, check, running…double check. 5 burpees, 10 squats, 15 big boys, followed by a 1/4 mile run. Rinse and repeat. Modify as needed or as wanted to get extra mileage in. Einstein prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead gentlemen. Pork Chop Express and Unitards Unleashed are meeting next Thursday for a final runcajunrun get together. Reach out to me for more info.

  • Almost a red SOLO cup type of workout – from Jose10k

    YHC arrived at the A1C early to put in those RUNCAJUNRUN miles. I don’t know why, the TARDS are way behind the leaderboard, but I keep telling myself, Tanked up is about to get ramped up. I know that he’s too old now to really compete, but he’ll put in some miles. Even if it’s using a walker. I got back up to the top of the A1C, and there were no cars. I begin to think of the title of my backblast: 1 is the loneliest number, Han Solo, but with the passing of Toby Keith this week, it was going to be a Red Solo Cup. I was about to embark on a journey through the streets of Covington when at 5:16 I saw Fletch coming up the ramp. 1 minute later Moby came. Quick Warm-up
    The Thang: A lot of sore bodies and bones, so we kept it simple. 5 burpees, 10 squats, then a quarter mile run. Rinse and repeat over and over again. Then of course, 3 calf raises on each step, all the way up. As I heard, it’s not a Jose Beat Down without calf raises. COT, YHC prayed us out. Safe travels to all going parading this weekend. Tank, why are we not seeing you on the leader board?

  • Hakunah Tabata – from Mobydick

    65 degrees? Are you serious? T-shirt and shorts one more time before the weather rolls through. Everyone was happy to enjoy this gorgeous weather. Yes, we know Russo will always wear shorts and a t-shirt. He’s our own Victor Freeze ( a batman character portrayed by the master thespian Arnold Schwarzenegger. The colder it gets, the happier he gets. Moby requested to lead a beatdown to help with his lower back, so it was time for some Tabata. 45 seconds on, 20 seconds off. 6 Exercise: freak nastys, squats, crunches, irkins, jane fondas, and box cutters. Rinse and repeat.
    COT, Moby prayed us out. 1/21 Nightmare after Christmas with Moby. 1/27 Bushwhackers camping trip. Runcajunrun the month of February, sign up by 1/18.

  • Die Hard is a Christmas Movie – from Jose10k

    YHC arrived early, a little extra time to stretch. Akbar must have been thinking the same, so I had someone to chit chat with this morning. During the conversation, 4 Covington PD came in hot on the top of the A1C, just to “check things out” according to the officer. We were blessed by an out of town brother, Webelow, joining us from Jackson County (I apologize if I spelled it wrong)
    Warm-up:ssh, grassgrabbers, torso twists, imperial walkers, self love (all to Christmas Time in Hollis Queens). Where the first trivia question, who was John McClain’s limo driver? Russo didn’t know the answer to this question(which was the theme of the beatdown). Argyle was the answer.
    The next question was what was John McClain’s wifes name: russo was wrong yet again. Holly Generro
    The thang: After the warmups, the PAX moseyed to the courthouse. The tragedy at Nakatomi plaza occurred on Christmas Eve, and we gathered today to honor the hero of Nakatomi: John McClain. The event occurred on the 30th floor, so that’s where we started. 30 merkins, 30 squats, 30 big boy sit-ups, 30 leg lifts. In between each exercise ran the length of the courthouse leading up to the stairs, up the stairs and then back down. Once the pax was finished we ran 1 lap around the entire courthouse.
    12 Terrorists entered Nakatomi: 12 burpees
    We now stopped on the side of the courthouse.
    ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring,except for the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two formation.
    Paired up. Partner one : side lunges the entire grass section to the concrete and back, partner 2= holds an al gore thoroughgood. Repeat.

    The terrorists planned to use C4 to blow up Nakatomi Tower. The PAX completed in cadence 30 reps of these 4 “c”ore exercises: little Manny crunches, flutter kicks, Freddy Mercury’s, and penguins

    Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.
    Famous line from the air ducts: time to do some ac duct crawling, while partner 2 does squats. Mosey back to the second floor to do a Hans Gruber pull-up: the pax hung from the raptors for 10 count, then did 30 Superman’s (he did fall 30 stories) .back to the stairwell to do 5 calve raises each to the top. And time was up.
    Trivia Question: What type of watch was Holly wearing that Hans hand was caught on? Russo was incorrect with Seiko. Pelican for the win with Rolex. Given to Holly from Ellis. More quotes from Hammer.
    5 Calf raises on each step on the way back up. Circled up for the first thing McClain did after going to the ER: Wife Pleasers in cadence for a 60 count. That’s when we were joined by Moby and turbodog. A few more core exercises.And to further celebrate the heroics of John McClain, a yell of Yippee Ki-yay Motherfu**er. The Trivia Question that Russo finally got correct. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman. COT and Hammer prayed us out. Thanks for the SplashPad joining us, thank you for Hammer to help create peace between battling AOs.
    Thought for the Season: Is Lethal Weapon a Christmas Movie? The answer is yes, and possibly the theme for the next beatdown.

  • Return of the Mack – from Jose10k

    Oh, oo-o-oh, come on, ooh, yeah
    Well I tried to tell you so (yes, I did)
    But I guess you didn’t know, as I said the story goes
    Baby, now I got the flow
    ‘Cos I knew it from the start
    Baby, when you broke my heart
    That I had to come again, and show you that I’m real
    all those times I said that I love you
    (You lied to me) yes, I tried, yes, I tried
    (You lied to me) even though you know I’d die for you
    (You lied to me) yes, I cried, yes, I cried
    1-(Return of the Mack) it is
    (Return of the Mack) come on
    (Return of the Mack) oh my God
    (You know that I’ll be back) here I am
    (Return of the Mack) once again
    (Return of the Mack) pump up the world
    (Return of the Mack) watch my flow
    (You know that I’ll be back) here I go

    You got to love that 1996 r&b classic. Why do I start the backblast with this: DarkWing returned to the A1C today. After the Flu wage war with his family for over a month, the Darkwing Clan is officially healthy, so we finally have Return of the Duck.

    Warmup-SSH, grassgrabbers, merkins, squats, etc…
    The Q sheet was open, so it was sort of a brain storming type of beatdown. We started off with 11s: Squats and Merkins, followed up with round robin core with Moby stretches. COT with DarkWing praying us out. Movie night was a success, Shooter is slowly nursing injuries caused from picking a fight with the tax dollars of the city of Mandeville (God Help those Deer this weekend), and we had a BBQ sighting. Waterpik has the Q tomorrow.
    Next Friday: Back by popular demand, the celebration of the tragedy that struck the Nakatomi Plaza beatdown will occur. Come on Splash Pad, join in our remembrance of the heroics of one Mr. John McClain. SYITG

  • Cyber Monday – from Akbar

    Chilly day at the Marsh, where the regular HIM joined YHC for a Cyber Monday beatdown. Not a big fan of spelling workouts, but something new was learned. Did you know you can google a list of exercises that start with each letter of the alphabet?

  • The Few, the Proud, The A1Cer’s – from Jose10k

    A day after the massive feast that I hope everyone enjoyed, two crazy HIMs joined together at the top of the parking garage. Warmups: slow stretches to work out them muscles.
    Just the two of us and a cluttered A1C. So we decided to do 5 slow merkins and 10 deep squats while we picked up the A1C. COT and it was over. Happy Black Friday y’all.

  • Do Mandevillians Travel? – from Jose10k

    The cool weather came in and YHC was ready for round 2. It was chilly, much different from the humidity from yesterday. Moby was the first to show up, while TurboDog refused to get out of the truck due to the weather. Einstein was next to show up, plant the flag, and the beatdown began. Warm-up: stretches, ssh, neck rolls, etc… That’s when we noticed something…Mandevillians don’t travel well. I wonder what about 190 scares them. It’s just a quick trip to the Gipper y’all, come on man. Any who, we grabbed some coupons to the gravel parking lot we went for some 11’s. Curls on one end, squat thrusts on the other side, rifle carry the coupon between exercises. We followed up with a quick couple of laps to test out this shin. We then did 3 rounds of 11/22 merkins and squats. Followed up with Einstein’s Theory of Relativity (new stretch). You have to come to Covington to learn this one. Moby prayed us out. Safe travels to all. SYITG

  • Stripes: Razzle Dazzle! – from Jose10k

    Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell’s the matter with you? Stupid! We’re all very different people. We’re not Watusi. We’re not Spartans. We’re Americans, with a capital ‘A’, huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We’re the underdog. We’re mutts! Here’s proof: his nose is cold! But there’s no animal that’s more faithful, that’s more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw “Old Yeller?” Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end?
    Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I’m sure.
    I cried my eyes out. So we’re all dogfaces, we’re all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We’re mutants. There’s something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us – we’re soldiers. But we’re American soldiers! We’ve been kicking ass for 200 years! We’re ten and one! Now we don’t have to worry about whether or not we practiced. We don’t have to worry about whether Captain Stillman wants to have us hung. All we have to do is to be the great American fighting soldier that is inside each one of us. Now do what I do, and say what I say. And make me proud.

    Psycho: The name’s Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I’ll kill you.
    Leon: Ooooooh.
    Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don’t like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I’ll kill you. Also, I don’t like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I’ll kill you.
    Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.

    Recruiter: Now, are either of you homosexuals?
    John Winger: [John and Russell look at each other] You mean, like, flaming, or…
    Recruiter: Well, it’s a standard question we have to ask.
    Russell Ziskey: No, we’re not homosexual, but we are *willing to learn*.
    John Winger: Yeah, would they send us someplace special?
    Recruiter: I guess that’s “no” on both. Now if you could just give Uncle Sam your autograph…

    John Winger: Why’d the chicken cross the road?
    Soldiers: To get from the left to the right
    John Winger: He stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank
    Soldiers: He ain’t no chicken no more

    I am hoping with the title that you started remembering how great that movie was, and how it could not be made today. Oh well, it was the theme to the workout this morning. So we had a warm-up, picture us singing
    There she was just a-walkin’ down the street, singin’
    ‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
    Snappin’ her fingers and shufflin’ her feet, singin’
    ‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
    She looked good (Looked good)
    She looked fine (Looked fine)
    She looked good, she looked fine
    And I nearly lost my mind

    Okay, to the actually workout. The stripes on the parking garage: 1merkin, skip a stripe, 2 merkings, and so on. On the way back, 1 squat, skip, 4 squats, skip, 8 squats, and so on. Back again, lunges. 2 is 1: 1 skip a stripe, 2, skip a stripe, 4, then 6, and so on. Finished up with 2 minutes of stretching. COT, prayers for my coworkers husband in ICU, Hammer and his home purchase and future house being sold, and good will to all that need it. SOGO has the Q tomorrow, turkey trot next thursday. SYITG, thanks for letting me lead this amazing group of young men.
