  • Core Workouts allows you to see your D*** – from Mobydick

    Yes sir, you read it correctly. The inspirational quote and motivation behind today’s workout came from Moby’s moment on the commode. Thanks to core workouts, he’s slimmed down to where he could see his MobyDick again. That’s the kind of mumble chatter you get at the A1C gentlemen, why aren’t y’all posting here more often. You get stories about Mathlete’s alter ego, Kenny Rocks, proportional comparisons of stomach and johnson’s, grumble grumbles of past merkin inspired beatdowns, Zoolanders amazing physique and ability to do merkins with both hands and feet in the air, and of course, death matches between us and the splashpad. But today, it was all about MobyDick, and his deck of death.
    The usual A1C crowd circled up to begin the beatdown, when up the ramp came the sight we’ve missed for quite sometime. We were finally joined by our long, lost brother, BBQ. Are PAX was complete, we could begin.
    Warm-ups: SSH, windmills, head rolls, oblique stretches, all in cadence
    The Thang: Deck of Death (Core style) Hearts 5 count, Diamonds-10 count, Clubs-15, Spades-20. Round Robin style. You flipped the card, you pick the core exercise. With a joker being pulled with a heart, diamond, spade, and a club on it for a 50 count. The chatter was positive and upbeat, the fellowship was great as always, and the beatdown will most certainly have me cursing out Moby tomorrow morning. Thank you Moby for picking up the Q for me, I honestly thought I was going to be a scratch for today. Thank y’all for posting and/or reading this backblast. Truecoat has the Q tomorrow. SYITG

    Its been great having Moby at the Marsh, and of course Turbo Dog. When we left, Moby told Sonny to go get in the car. When we returned, he was waiting faithfully for the Circle of Trust. YHC’s timing was a little off and we finished 2 minutes over, but no one seemed to mind.

  • You don’t skip leg day – from Jose10k

    YHC has been working out with his wife everyday since his return from the Caribbean. However, he did sleep in on Wednesday, which was leg day. Katie hasn’t let me forget that I skipped leg day, so here we go…

    Warm-ups: ssh, windmills, grass grabbers, self love, torso twists, arm circles, high knees, butt kicks

    Thang: 4 corners with a twist

    Cooper Head Squats at each corner, 15 count. Lt. Dan the long stretch, two lunges, 1 squat, 4 lunges, 2 squats, etc…

    Sumo Squats at each corner, 20 count. Lt. Dan the long stretch..

    Side lunges at each corner 25 count on each leg, Lt. Dan the long stretch.

    Great conversations with all, including our newest member of the A1C fight club, our very own Magnum PI (dark wing duck). Still, where is BBQ?

    Finished up, COT, Moby prayed us out. SYITG

  • The artist formally known as “Jose10k” – from Jose10k

    I arrived to the A1C, driving through a downpour of rain, ready to work out. The skies opened up and cleared. I got out of my car and began warming up when my partner in crime, Moby, arrived. Now Moby, in a second life, was Bob Breck. He informed us of the incoming storms, so we went down to the second level to get out of the way of the storms that never did show up. I offered an olive branch to the notorious Russo. An offer of a truce, to get together and work out the differences between the splash pad and the A1C. Russo scoffed at me, and I believe pulled a Sampson towards me by “biting his thumb at me” So, the rumble is still on.
    We need to continue training for the cage match with the rowdy group from the splash pad. I don’t know if it’s at the level of the greasers vs socs rumble, the sharks vs the jets, the hatfields vs the mccoys, maybe even to the level of tom vs jerry. The talking is getting serious, so the training must get more intense. I heard that the splash pad was using the ancient teaching of Miyagi Do karate: wax on, wax off, paint the fence, sand the floors…, so we at the A1C knew how serious these gents were. We knew where we had to get our training from: the only practical source of knowledge of men our ages: 80s movies. Should we practice kicking banana trees like JVD in Kickboxer, running up snow covered mountains, splitting firewood a la Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV, or maybe increasing our cardio with some giant piano dancing like Tom Hanks did in Big? Perhaps even bring in bicycles to train like they did in RAD. Too many to choose from for just one beat down, and plus, did I forget to mention, I am leaving tomorrow to fly to the Caribbean to get married. I am not crushing myself this morning. I will save those epic training sessions when I get back, so hold onto your butts…
    Warm-up: ssh, torso twists, self love, windmills, grass grabbers, arm circles, hi jack, hey jills,
    Beginning: bruno mars think I’m gonna marry you, simple concept, ssh for the song, drop for a burpee each time the word Marry is sung.
    I promised Katie that I wouldn’t kill myself, so I kept it simple. 4 corners, 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 big boy situps at each corner. Bear crawl the width, back peddle the length halfway, turn and sprint the rest. After that, round robin tabata, 45 seconds on , 15 second rest. The conversations were excellent as always. Including retirement, job opportunities, and of course, 80s classic movies. Including the hilarious Grumpier Old Men, National Lampoons, and of course, Kickboxer.

    COT, mention of the Inferno tomorrow, Hammer prayed us out. Everyone have safe travels, have great celebrations with your family and friends, and I will see you on the other side Ray. The next time I see y’all, I will be a happily married man. SYITG!

  • LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!! – from Jose10k

    The cage match of death challenge has been accepted. Russo threw down the gauntlet, and the boys at the A1C answered the call. The Pelican and Russo in one corner, Jose and Moby in the other. Dipping our hands in glue, then into shards of glass (Kickboxer style). The boys at the splash pad don’t know what they’ve gotten themselves into. Y’all know him as Moby, but on the street he goes by many other names: “The Master of Disaster” , “The King of Sting”, “The Dancing Destroyer”, “The Prince of Punch”, and “The Count of Monte Fisto”. The Pelican needs to fear him. We have the upper hand, we’ve got an ace in the hole, we’ve got Turbo Dog. A five pound vicious Kujo ball of aggression. Today was just another day to prepare for the showdown for Friday beatdown bragging rights.
    Warm-ups: various stretches, nothing special
    The beatdown: KISS (keep it simple stupid) 4 corners (10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 lbcs), rinse and repeat 5 times.
    Moby prayed us out.
    Tomorrow, Marsh Madness
    following weekend, the convergence known as the Fury.

  • Happy St.Patrick’s day 2023 – from Jose10k

    What a fine morning to celebrate St. Patty’s day. Of course there was a warm-up, of course there was music (Irish Celtic Rock), and of course Moby was there too. I mean, he and I are preparing for a cage match against Russo and the Pelican. I like our odds.

    COT: extra thoughts for the runners of the endurothon, Happy Hour in Slidell to come. Akbar prayed us out. Afterwards, the group reflected on how important F3 is to them, and how grateful they are to be a part of it. Each aspect has it’s importance. It was an honor to lead y’all, and the limericks I have written are much cleaner than the ones BBQ told us. Happy St. Patty’s day to you all. SYITG

    A pirate, history relates, Was scuffling with some of his mates, When he slipped on a cutlass Which rendered him nutless, And practically useless on dates

  • Parkour-Plan B – from Jose10k

    YHC arrived with a great plan in his head involving coupons. It was intense, it was difficult, it was like Dante’s inferno, but it was not to be. I was quickly informed of the lack of coupons available at the Gipper to preform said workout. Oh well, a secondary workout had to be made, so I called for a plan B. When you’re flying by the seat of your pants, nothing sounds better than a Plan B.
    Warm-ups: SSH, torso twists, grass grabbers, good mornings, arm circles, self love, al gore thorogoods.
    The Thang: Mosey to the courthouse. Time for some Parkour Dora. Partner up: 100 merkins (50 each), 200 squats, 300 lbcs. Partner one climbs up the railing hand over hand up the ramp, alternating which hand leads, while partner 2 completes the exercise.
    Finished it up with 5 burpees. Back to the parking garage for 2 calf raises each step all the way up to the top. Finished up with 9 minutes of Mary. Each participant called out their core exercise in cadence.
    Moby prayed us out with intentions to SoGo’s family and all those intentions not spoken.
    Endurothon next weekend, April 1st Fury.

    Thanks for letting me lead brothers, and welcome to the A1C Sogo and Dark Wing Duck. SYITG

    Wicket has awesome hair that all of us (except Grover) would love to have now.

    Instructions for the Lazy Dora brough some blank stares due to the lack of directions. It was more of a broken up Lazy Dora – but we got 650 reps out of it.

    BBQ presented Turbo with a plaque and hat for finishing in the top 3 short course race last week. Beast.

  • Who wants the Q? – from The Hammer

    3 arrived at the A1C to a misty, gloomy morning. No one had picked up the Q, so Jose10k lead us in the warmups. Different ideas were being thrown around until Hammer was inspired to do a non leg workout. Thank God Moby showed up when he did because the first thing we heard out of Hammers mouth was 100 burpee’s. So now with 2 teams of two, a workout was formed. One partner ran a loop, while the other partner performed the exercises. 50 burpee’s, 100 American Hammers (2 is 1), 150 hand release merkins, 200 Freddy mercury’s (2 is 1), 250 merkins, and 300 lbc. Finished off with 3 minutes of Mary. Cot, hammer prayed us out.

  • ALMOST SOLO BECAUSE OF AN EXPRESSO CRISIS – from Jose10k

    Yup, you read correctly. I almost had to ride solo because Moby is such a great man. With an expresso crisis on hand, he couldn’t leave Vicki with the mess that he created. An expresso explosion caused him to be tardy to the party.
    I warmed up with some ssh, torso twists, grass grabbers, warrior pose and arm circles. Since it was just me, I figured it was a great time to add some miles to the Unitards runcajunrun total. A few laps around the top of the parking garage, and then I began my decent when Moby pulled into the garage. Moseyed back up to pick him up and we did a modified run through downtown Covington. We stopped a total of 15 times to do 10 Merkins and 15 squats. A total of 2.1 miles, 150 merkins and 225 squats. I did the math so not to hurt Russo or Franks brain. YHC prayed us out.
