  • Before and After – from Charmin

    Before we started today, YHC decided that since we are all doing our own thing, we should make sure that we start at end with the same number of people, specifically that we start and end with the same people (assuming we don’t EH someone along the way). Well today we started with 13 pax. A joke was made that we’d end up with 14 since Triple Shift would be late. After some laughs we all took off.

    KnOTers went their way, Kennan Brah went to his car, and the herd of runners, at Hawg’s request went on a “slow jog”. Towards the end of the run, YHC came back to the track and Lo and beheld Triple Shift and ended up running a lap with him.

    Once we all came back to the CoT, and after a quick count-o-rama heavy jokes were made at Triple Shift’s expense.

    Ended with prayers for family and in thanksgiving for healing.

  • Filling the Void – from Mahatma

    Got a call from Minuterice asking what AO YHC was heading to so we could meet up. After a quick check of the Q sheet there was a Void at El Diablo so I figured it was a good opty to Co-Q as team “rice”!

    Minuterice gave some recommendations then decided he would take the warm up which consisted of several dynamic style stretch and leg exercises to get us going. After roughly 7 minutes he passed it on.

    Off to the bleachers – push up climb then crawl down to snake run the bleachers from right to left side finishing with 3 burpees – hold plank until 6 was in plank add 30 seconds finish with 5 Merkins

    Move to the gym wall:
    2 rounds of the running man to rail squats
    2 rounds of 20 second balls to the wall

    Move to the playground:
    3 rounds of pull ups: 3,6,9 reps each followed by a run to the tennis court 5,10,15 Merkins then a lap around the court. If you were there you’ll understand.

    Dr W’s (not new to all)
    Elevated V’s – in the sitting position hands behind head raise legs to touch feet
    Same position – alternate left hand Tks rht foot then flip flop
    Same position raise hands straight over head – bring knees to upward tuck while bring hands down to tap knee
    Kick stand position brings knees up to chest then extend out gas pump to a V

    Move to front of gym quick push up ladder to top of stairs then back down.
    Someone was carrying a creature inside themselves that was let loose and just about killed the pax
    Reverse bearcrawl up the stairs bearcrawl down

    Move to the parking lot – line up left to right bearcrawl our 15 yards – 3 burpees Reverse bearcrawl another 15 yards – 5 burpees sprint back to a plank position to recover “actively”

    Line up – Indian Run back to the flag

    Finished with
    YHC – V Ups
    Minuterice – “donut sit ups”
    Mr Rogers – Shoulder taps
    BooBoo – single leg wife pleasers

    COT – we named our FNG – SamBreaux

  • Casino games – from Fracsac

    8 pax showed up and got stronger at the Mothership. Here’s what went down:

    Mosey to the peristyle for a warmup consisting of regular stuff.

    Mosey to the great lawn for some BLIMPS using the corners as the markers. Mosey and lung walks were MoT.

    Partner up and play some casino games. Run to opposite corner, 5 burpees, then back to middle. Share a card number selected with non partner to keep in honest. Add cards together and team closest to 21 w/o going over wins the round and chooses an exercise. 4 rounds total.

    Ring of Fire with squats and ‘mericans

    Finish off with 21s doing LBCs and jump squats.

  • Sua Sponte – from Charmin

    Pax were encouraged to pick their own path, with a reminder that we need to have a count off and disclaimer before and after the workout.

  • Back at it – from Charmin

    After completing the 1st Grow Run and GRE-41 over the weekend, YHC was eager to get back out to the gloom. Thankfully, Hokie reached out to Bolt to HC since YHC needed stretching. Started with mirroring the KnOTters by walking backwards away from them. While they did their own thing, Bolt and Vagabond heard a recounting of the weekend, along with groans from the much needed stretching. Vagabond added his own gassing from time to time.

    Worked our way back to the shovel flag for some COT where YHC asked for prayers as this weekend is the 1 year anniversary of my father’s sudden passing. Glad to be back in the gloom with brothers.

  • Push It to the Limit – from Charmin

    Today was about pushing it to the limit, either with running, KnOTibg, or running back to your house for a stretching pad becuase Boo-boo can’t handle the ground.

    Either way, we all came back (with some additional late comers) for the COT. Prayed in thanksgiving for new life and in supplication for those who need help.

  • Descend the Ladder con Roca – from Bolt

    Warmorama of the usual; Vagabond erroneously thought Kenna Brah had the Q and I’m sure regretted showing up for another of my musically schizophrenic playlists.
    The Thang: Descending Ladder with a rock (10 reps/exercise down to 9, 8, etc. reps/exercise): Squat (coupon), OH press, Curls, chest press, tricep press.
    Begin at first tree along side the parking lot facing the gym (it was here that Mahatma took off to second tree to do exercise one—not the directions!), Carry rock to second tree for second exercise where we all paid five burpee penalty for the transgression.

    At fifth tree plank on the six, turnaround and head back the opposite way with one less rep/exercise finishing at starting point. Rinse/repeat until we’ve descended the ladder.

    It was prior to starting round six that I introduced the skip exercise rule: call out, “skip” and roll Deca die of pain for our fate that replaces the skipped exercise, advance to next tree and resume the ladder. Mr. Rogers went first, followed by several others; we did ultimately finish the ladder in time to return rocks and circle up at the flag for Rochamburpee until time: winner does five merkins, loser does three burpees.

    Honored to lead and totally spent; this one sucked. COT.
