  • Swinger in Da House – from King Kong

    Thunderstorms passed through last night. I woke up to a wet, cool April morning with low humidity. Rain had stopped around 6 a.m., and the sun was creeping up. What a beautiful morning!!! We saw a white minivan pulling up to the parking lot with an unfamiliar face. His name is Swinger from down range Houston (Sugarland). He’s called Swinger because he swing dances. But we all thought he lied about the origin of his name.

    We started off with warm-ups: Self-Love, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Hill Billies, Arm Circles, Slow Low Squats, Halos, Bottle Caps, and Around the World.

    The Thang 1 OYO:
    10 single handed curls
    10 single handed rows
    10 Lunges with bells (2 is 1)
    10 burpees jump over

    15 triceps extensions
    15 two handed rows
    15 Leg raises with the bells
    Bear crawl to the parking lot and back

    20 overhead presses
    20 kettle bell swings
    20 goblet squats
    Overhead carry to the parking lot and back

    The Thang 2 in cadence:
    Rinse and repeat all the exercises above. Except this time, we did everything in cadence.

    The Thang 3:
    Dora 1, 2, 3
    100 curls, 200 kettle bell taps, 300 flutter kicks with the bell
    While one pax was doing the exercise, the other pax was carrying his bell to the park lot and back. (dealer’s choice – could be overhead carry, suitcase carry, etc.)

    COT

    Dinghy, Moana, and Sphinxter met us at Wakin’ Bakin’ for some breakfast.

    Gabby and Almonaster met up for breakfast at Wakin’ Bakin’. This may be our new Coffeeteria spot on Sundays.

  • Monkey Humper Drive By – from Willie

    After the required disclaimer, and in the spirit of Run Cajun Run, the PAX went off campus this morning with a mosey on the neutral ground down St. Charles Ave. We stopped for warm up exercises at the State St. and Jefferson Ave. Exercises were in cadence:

    Grass Grabbers x10, Hillbillies x20, LS Squats x10, Imperial Walkers x20

    King Kong and Gabby asked if we were going to do Monkey Humpers in front of Whopper’s house. That was not my intent when we set out, but it was such a great idea, I had to pivot. We immediately went to Whopper’s house and did 10 MH in cadence.

    We did not stop there…. Next on the monkey humper hit list was Blowout, followed by Couch. The PAX performed 10 monkey humpers all in cadence at both locations. Subprime was particularly loud in his cadence count. After hitting Couch with humpers, we mosyed back to the flag. We logged right at 4.0 miles for RCR.

    El Wire was lucky, he was next on our hit list, but we ran out of time. Let this be a warning to all Uptown PAX, especially El Wire, Reluctant Yankee, Tubesteak, Mariah, Angies List, Seaman, Tinkles, Moana, any of you could be our next victim, if you are not working out at Misty Mountain.

    We closed with a COT and breakfast ensued at Panola Cafe. It’s always an honor to lead this great group of men!

  • Total Wellness Begins Tomorrow – from Willie

    After a week long sales meeting in San Diego, what better way to get back into total wellness than to Q Misty Mountain.

    Warm up took place in front of Loyola, all exercises in cadence: SSHx 20, Imperial Walkers x 20, Hillbillies x20, Arm Circles F/B x10, Grass Grabbers x10, Burpees x10

    We mosyed to the 2nd floor of the Big Mountain, and partnered up for some DORA 123. Exercises were 100 Merkins, 200 Freddie Merks (2-1), 300 Squats. The partner ran up to level 3and back around and down the stairs to his partner. Once complete, we went up the stair well to the top of the mountain.

    We worked our way back down the mountain doing BLIMPS on each level. B on level 7, L on level 6 and so on…

    We finished up with a set of Mary in front of Tulane University, COT, and coffeteria at Panola Cafe.
