D. I. S. S.

Dang, I’m So Stupid.

Two of the older geezers had the Q in Belmont this morning.

YHC got a little EC and reconned the AO prior to 7am start.

Quickly realized that my original weinke was not feasible. No way we could run to Belmont Central and finish what I intended in time.

Anyhow, Tesla gave us his patented warmup to the group, and then we split.

Tesla had The Bunker and I had the Yank.

Upon the split, I led more SSH in cadence. Mosey to the covered picnic tables.

Two rounds of dips, squats, irkins, and LBC in cadence. Burpees for the train.

Mosey to track up by middle school.  Twenty-ones Def Leppard Pushups and World War Ones across the field. Brutal.

Back to the picnic tables for another two rounds of dips, squats, irkins and LBCS.

Fellowship mosey back to the flag,  arrive right on the button of 8am.

YHC took us out.

Hot Buttermilk in the Bunker!

YHC a few weeks ago picked up the reins on this edition of Belmont’s premier nonrunning “low impact” Saturday workout a few weeks ago from HIPPA. It as decided that “low impact” would not translate into “low effort”. In fact, it was time to show just the opposite. So with a collection of kettle bells, ruck weights, and attitudes the pax got with it. looked like this:

COP (bootcampers and bunker together)

SSH X 20

IW x 20

Asphalt Pickers X 20

Grapevine stretches

Mtn. Climbers X 20

Split off, Bootcampers with Oompa Loompa, Bunker with YHC.

NMM:

Great group here today and we put in the work in the humidity and growing lat summer heat. Great to see Hunk O Junk, Clampett, others. Hippa has done a great job getting this off the ground. Great AO for nonrunning. Not so much for noneffort! Wold we all not agree? Big group today. I count @ 11. Lot of bootcampers today as well. Would have loved to join Oompa for his Q but guess it was old goat day in Belmont. Maybe that’s why they were having a funeral in the park when we left Cherubs and breakfast? Not one of our guys was it? Asking for a friend. Never seen something like that in a public park.

Great morning and great push by the pax at AOs. Shouldn’t have missed it if you did!

Tesla

 

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

When YHC rolled in, SA and Seuss took off for some EC.  Soon there after Roundup, Hacksaw, Gomer, Ball Joint and Sparky arrived to head into the gloom for their 9 – 15 miles.  There was also a Pizzaman and Sarlaac sighting along the way.  Lots of HIMs getting out early to put in some work.

Speaking of work, 0630 arrives not to much later with a good group gathered.

No FNGs, so an abbreviated disclaimer followed by The Pledge of Allegiance.

Warmup:

SSH, Arm Circles, IW, Planking, Merkins and some stretching.

Whoopee and Sarlaac head into the gloom wearing their purses, while the rest of us head to the flag pole, stopping at each light to do 25 flutters (count 1-leg).

Now we are all warmed-up, let head to the arena for the some work.

Admittedly, this is something ShortSale did at SandLot and it sucked there.  YHC thought the Folsom crew should get their own taste of it.

5 exercises, 25 reps each for 4 rounds. After each circuit is complete, run around the concession stand.

Round 1:

  • Hand Release Merkins
  • Squats
  • Dips
  • Plank Jacks
  • LBCs
  • Run

Round 2:

  • Shoulder Taps (count each movement)
  • Step up Right
  • Dips
  • Step up Left
  • Turtle Crunch
  • Run

Time was getting short, so head back to the flag for a little Mary and then our hour was up.

Announcements:

  • JJ5K
  • ChristmasTown 5k
  • Mt. Hollywood/SandLot combined workout on Labor Day

Prayer Requests/Praises:

  • WestSide’s Dad
  • Girl who tried to attempt suicide 3x
  • Pizzaman’s Grandmother 95th birthday
  • Stogie’s coworker with cancer
  • Big Pappy family
  • Pizzaman’s M getting baptized.

 

Thanks for letting me venture into NOGA.  Always a pleasure and enjoy the push.

Until next time.

Watts Up Powering Down.

Blart was Late

Due to work, YHC rarely gets to post at Midoriyama, but it is one of my favorite AO’s. If you want to get better,  posting in the heat of Midoriyama is how you do it.

The Thang

As short mosey to each light post with burpees and Nolan Ryans  stepping up the quantity till we get the to the field. A quick mosey to the hill where we bear crawled up the hill and did LBS’s and get back down the hill for big boys. We then moved over to the bleachers for some step ups and dips.  After we the finished that up we went over the the parking lot. Going back and forth with Mike Tysons and CDDS. Next we moved over to the next lot for some squats and lunged walking.  Once we wrapped up that we did calve raisers on the steps and Al Gores if we were waiting. Lastly when finish up with the burpees and Nolan Ryans stepping down the quantity back to the flag.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.  It will be story time next time.

 

Happy Days at Folsom

It was a good morning at Folsom to get in some work.  This morning was shoulder day and the PAX were ready to get after it. We started out with some basic stretching then it was off to work.

The Thang

We did a short mosey to each light pole and did burpees and merkins stepping up the quantity as we worked our way up the hill towards the horse stables. At the track, we lunge walked to the horse stables.  At the horse stables, we did  Australian mountain climbers and hip slappers. We fellowshipped moseyed to the steps and did some calf raisers.  At the top we knocked out some imperial walkers the moseyed to the concession stand. There we did some squats and then moseyed to the cemetery. At the cemetery we need some big boys and LBC’s. We then reversed all back to the flag.

It was great work by all.

Prayer Request.

  • Ozark
  • Spackle
  • Westside
  • Sister Act
  • Afghanistan
  • All prayer spoken and unspoken
