  • Ballgames – from TurboTax

    After a quick warmup of imperial walkers, toe touches, mountain climbers, windmills, SSHs, and seal jacks, the PAX headed over to the Justice Center for some ballgames. Operating in a cone demarcated field, the PAX played a passing game with a tennis ball. Various permutations with various penalties for fumbles had the PAX working hard on their ball skills. Tanked Up was particularly adept at handling the ball, and one can only think he gets lots of practice. At any rate, fun for all and then we traveled back to the shovel flag for our countorama, nameorama and prayer. Thanks for letting me lead guys. Krazy Ivan this Friday at 8 p.m. Mandeville Lakefront gazebo with F2 afterwards at the Barley Oak.

  • Four Cistercian Monks + One – from Einstein

    A cool 40 degrees for the gathered PAX, this past Wednesday morning, at The Gipper
    And good to see cousin Bushwacker, with broken wing, some how able to fling water-logged cinder blocks around with one arm.
    His only complaint was the silence – how quiet us oldsters were. He broke the monk-like silence with some welcomed chatter.

    Warmup:
    Toe Touch, Imperial Walkers, SSHops, Cherry Pickers, Hillbillies, Scissors, etc

    Event: 3 sets of cinder block coupon work, each followed by a run around the block
    set one; upper body
    set two; core
    set three; legs

    Mary: bear crawl, crawl bear

    Count-o-rama, Bushwacker leads us out with early morning matins.

    Cheers

  • Leg Day at The Gipper – from TurboTax

    Five PAX walked away from this morning’s beatdown at The Gipper with a little less pep in their step. After a warmup of Imperial Walkers, Shoulder Taps, Toe Touches, Peter Parkers, Squats, Parker Peters, Seal Jacks and Mountain Climbers, all 10x IC, we headed over to the Justice Center for some partner work.

    Partner 1 kicked started our first set of exercises with box jumps on the Justice Center benches while Partner 2 bear crawled to the next set of benches and then crawl beared back to relieve Partner 1. The Partners combined for 50 box jumps.

    Following on this first effort, we rinse and repeated the concept combining 50 Hand Release Merkins/Run up the Justice Center Steps and down the Ramp; 100 Leg Raises/Run up and down two flights on Justice Center Parking Garage Stairs; 100 Curtsey Squats/Run down the ramp and backpedal up the ramp; 100 Mountain Climbers/Run up the stairs, 1 burpee, then run down the stairs.

    We then made our way back to the shovel flag with a stop for some Bobby Hurleys, 20x OYO.

    Oh yeah, we enhanced most of our traveling today with lunges, toe walks, skips, and carioca.

    Two minutes of balance challenges once we made it back to the shovel flag. Countorama, nameorama and then Fletch prayed us out with another solid beatdown in the books.

    Thanks for letting me lead guys and thanks for joining me to start another great day.

  • Reunion at the Gipper! – from Shooter

    Seeing the Q sheet blank at the Gipper and the Scramble YHC decided to signup and fill the post. Shortly after Q received a message from Bushwhacker confirming a meet at the old WD parking lot.. Little did Q know he had also EHed Steve for a reunion car pool to convoy up to the north.. YHC had also EHed Akbar to meet and join, but was instructed if no sightings had occurred by 0540 to rollout, so that’s what we did. Now Akbar still posted and shortly into the beatdown Akbar would come to learn that YHC was informed of a recent “Ring of Fire” incident… Funny story to me but maybe not those involved, but never the less felt obliged to pay homage…

    Warmup
    10IC
    Cherry pickers, self love, Torso twists, Toe Touches, Windmills, Grass grabbers, Butt kicks and High knees..

    Moseyed a lap down the trailhead and around back to the flag at which point YHC noticed a new 6 foot barrier between the PAX coupons.. Wasted no time and called an audible in my head..

    Thang
    Moseyed to the school board building where we circled around the flag for a sweet ole campfire song by the famous Johnny Cash.
    “Ring of Fire” played as the PAX completed Merkins. Next we partnered up for wall sits P1 and P2 instructed to sprint around the building. R/R 2x. Next we Indian ran in 2 groups to the front of the Justice center for P1 Right and Left leap frogs on the benches while P2 bunny hopped up the steps and moseyed the ramps down to F/J. Then we we moseyed to the backside of the center for P1 freak nasties on the benches and P2 Carioca to the steps sprinting up like Rocky and returning. R/R 2x.
    Moseyed back to the AO to finish with the Worse Merkin ever to 10 and some Core.
    Wife pleasers, Jane Fonda’s 3 styles, 100s, hands to heels and leg raises..

    Counted off, announced another potential Wacker vacation in Kokomo (possibly Jan/Feb) and Barely legal prayed us out with thoughts and condolences for the families of the recent murders of a retired Priest and pastoral council member found just the other day in Covington… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Appreciate the follow gentlemen and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    NMM
    YHC was just in time for 6:00 due to oversleeping. Maverick was on Cowbell time and caught up with us at the Justice Center. QIC was asked what size rock to pick, and the answer was whatever you want. Which should have been a small one.

    Great to have Bean (aka Batman) back, and great stories about the bats and the cost of a Rabies shot. Mumblechatter was all over the place and included Grover, a nude bar, bats, Turbos beatdown last week, and the Cake walk.

    Thanks for following my lead – Akbar.
