  • Hawg’s Birthday – from Charmin

    All came out to celebrate Hawg. Some Ran, Some Rucked, others just showed up. All had a good time.

  • Hawg’s Birthday – from Charmin

    All came out to celebrate Hawg. Some Ran, Some Rucked, others just showed up. All had a good time.

  • Charmin and the Runners – from Charmin

    As per usual, the Runners came and killed their workout from Coach Gregg.

    YHC did a nieghborhood lap that felt faster than normal. It may have been the cooler air. Here’s to hoping that the weather get’s even cooler!

  • Good to see people – from Charmin

    As usual, YHC arrived to find the runners there early and even a few KnOTters. By the time 5:30 arrived, Boo-Boo was there to ruck, in addition to bringing news that Bolt would be arriving shortly.

    After going around the track and finding all the gates locked, we met with Bolt on the track and realized that our neighborhood time would need to be brief.

    On YHC’s way back, we saw a Rougarou leaving saying that he’s finally had it with walking backwards. “Why can we walk forwards, and get to our stretching spot quicker?” he muttered under his breath before crossing over the train tracks.

    COT ended with praying for all those struggling physically, but more importantly mentally. Don’t hesitate on reaching out to fellow Pax.

  • 3 & 17 years – from Charmin

    For such a momentous anniversary, it wasn’t brought up at all during the beatdown.

    That being said, the ruckers did discuss the state of our state and what we are able to do within our spheres of influence.

    Who knows what the runners did; we found them laying (they claim to be stretching) on the ground 45 minutes after we left them.

  • Return of the Forty – from Rudy

    Been a long while since I’ve been to Okwata, let alone Q’d it. Thanks to Pinewood, the AO is enjoying a resurgence in popularity – nice work! The time was right to (re-)introduce the PAX to the 40 (originally inspired by “40” by U2). I did publish ahead of time, so the pansy lakeview group that was worried about wet shoes would have the opportunity to stay home. Not my fault that Jesus Juice didn’t read slack.

    Forgot the disclaimer, then off to the top of the levee for a quick warmup, giving Hawg a few extra minutes to show up.

    The Thang: The 40

    10 exercises. Each one is 4 sets, alternating side of the levee. Each set is 10 reps.

    40 trips over the levee. 40 reps of each exercise. 40 total sets. You get the idea.

    * Merkins
    * BBSU
    * Squats
    * Carolina Dry Docks
    * Dr. W
    * Lunges
    * Floyd Mayweather
    * American Hammer
    * Monkey Humpers
    * Burpees

    Back to the flag a few mins late for COT

    Random Thoughts:

    Great to see 15 Pax in the gloom!!

    Dr. W: took a few tries to get the cadence right. Definitely a crowd favorite!

    Monkey Humpers followed by a run over the levee. Quads feel that.

    High Rise is amazing. 45 minutes of continuous talk about work with Ya Mom And ‘Dem. YMAD didn’t say a word. Just let High Rise keep talking.

    Pinewood correctly predicted the grand finale – Burpees! And he’d never done this before.

    Taco (or Tacos, or Taci?) — great to have a 2.0 in the gloom with us!

    Thank you, Kuch, for not letting The Juice know what was in store until it was too late for him to back out.

    Music selection was heavily, and I mean HEAVILY, critiqued. But who knew there were so many “40” songs.

    Notable in their absence were Triple Shift and Snooze.

  • The Ascension – from Charmin

    At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again. And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover. And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God. But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed. Mark 16:14-20

    13 men came into the gloom to improve themselves.

  • Even the Mosquitoes got Swoll – from Mahatma

    Roughly 2 weeks ago scanning the Q sheet I saw an opportunity to travel outside the norm and signed up for Swollfest. Of course some habits are deeply engrained so leaving at 5:15 pushed the envelop, YHC pulled up at 5:30, shoes untied. Thankfully the LVCC crew was locked and loaded with blocks pulled waiting and ready.

    Warm Up at various cadence intervals
    Scantron x 2
    Mnt Man Poopers
    AbeVegodas

    Mnt Climbers
    TriCep Extensions
    Jump Sqt
    Curls
    Front Lunge with block on your back

    3 Rounds – JesusJuice informed YHC there are several timer apps created eons ago and was curious why it wasn’t being used!? Apparently the “ding” is a motivator.

    365
    3-Burpees
    6-Box Jumps
    5 – Rounds
    OYO

    Circle up for Mid Mary

    Another Round of Mary

    WWI sit ups

    Finisher 2 rounds of Indian Push Ups
    Note – YHC had a brainfart in that the end of the line was supposed to complete the entire snake of the line – flip flopping from the end through he beginning (my explanation may not be communicated well so I’ll have to Q again to get it right). That said shout out to squints and other pax that completed the gauntlet twice.

    COT
    Good to see other pax that are showing up consistently holding each other accountable. Thanks be to God.

  • Hidden Messages – from Glitter Balls

    I smashed my finger in the drawer last night getting my clothes ready for today’s beatdown so we were already off to a great start.

    In the notes for this one I titled it “Gregorian Chant Music Mondays” as a deliberate feint – but it was still an eclectic playlist, although curated for a specific message:

    Tabata, 8 rounds x3 – 1:10 up, 0:25 recovery.

    Skullcrushers
    Overhead Press
    Curls
    Rows
    Lunge Twist
    Squats
    Block Merkins
    Flutter Kicks

    The Playlist:

    Falling Away From Me – Korn
    Old Town Road – Lil Nas X
    … Ready For It? – Taylor Swift
    Tonight, Tonight – The Smashing Pumpkins
    You’re Welcome – Dwayne Johnson (Moana Soundtrack)

    You Oughta Know – Alanis Morissette
    Everybody Wants To Rule The World – Tears For Fears
    Anti-Hero – Taylor Swift
    Remember the Name – Fort Minor
    Supermassive Black Hole – Muse

    Only Girl (In The World) – Rihanna
    Let Me Find Out Part 1 – 5th Ward Weebie
    Down – 311

    Altogether the first letter of the titles is “FORTY YEARS OLD” – a day premature but it was fun making this real hit or miss playlist and getting it to fit the timeframe.

    FNG naming – welcome Conspiracy!

  • An Uninteresting Stat – from Glitter Balls

    So, we’re on week 4 of GB’s Foundry monopoly, and we’re loving it.

    Actually, Goose had the Q on the sheet but I think that was a misclick because Goose was nowhere to be found and none of us are sure who Goose is.

    Anywho, it was humid as all get out and we had Upchuck from Birmingham with us, so let’s go see some of the park.

    Mosey towards NOMA that ended at the bridge by the sculpture garden for 5 burpees OYO, then a quick warmup at the sculpture garden and contemplation of the opening piece:

    20 SSH, 10 Windmills, 20 IWs, 10 Count of Self Love.

    Mosey to the Great Lawn. Some stretch from one side to the other of Lunges, Bear Crawls, Crab Walks, Lunges, 5 Burpees OYO, a 10 count and run it back.

    Mosey to the little Foundry for Dips, Squats, Decline Merkins and Pull-ups, then a quick hop to the Children’s Museum for some core work:

    LBCs, Levels, Right Leg V-Ups, American Hammer, Left Leg V-Ups, Box Cutters, Flutter Kicks.

    Mosey back to the flag.

    COT.
