Day: October 25, 2022

Well it’s finally fall and we’ve got ourselves a beautiful brisk morning on our hands here in Downtown G-Town. No FNGs quick disclaimer, no Leppard so no extra explanations of what we’re doing and no SA cause he needs his beauty sleep cause he’s gotta work tomorrow. Light warmup with some good stretching and some good mumblechatter to go along with it.

Mosey to the parking deck. The bottom deck is still closed for construction so only 5 levels of insanity for this one.

First round starting on bottom deck we did 5 Burpees per deck all the way to the top.

Second round starting at the top we did 10 Big Boys per deck back down to the bottom.

Third round we ran it back doing 15 HR Merkins at each deck back to the top.

Forth round was more of the same with 20 Bonnie Blair’s (count each leg) at each deck back to the bottom.

Fifth round back to up to the top with 25 Flutters (right leg only) per deck.

Sixth and final round we ran back all of the previous working sets per deck all the way back to the bottom. This was a task that left us pressed for time so I had Omaha out with only 2 Bat Flippers (Ball Joint & Freight) completing the final round.

With a quick mosey back to the Rotary Pavilion we had just enough time to take a quick breath and finish up with the Pledge.

Great Job men I enjoyed this one. I really appreciated all that showed to know and pushed through the daunting task of putting in some work with me this morning knowing all the time that you had to work today and tomorrow.

Until next time (What were We Doing) I’m out

A cold, dark morning started off with a surprise, as the field behind the old middle school revealed itself to be quite unusable for our purposes…so at 6:55am I sped off to find a different field for us to set up shop in.

Landed in the random field next to Alexander Memorial Baptist Church, and across from those hideous lofts being built in downtown Belmont. You see, the name of the game this crisp fall morning? Angleball. We needed the space, we found the space.

Thankfully, my other Buck brother, Buckeye, was present to lead the men through some warmups doing something stupid, before coming to find myself, Gavel, and Watts Up as we finished setting up the game. Here’s reason #1 you shouldn’t miss my Fighting Yank Q’s…I saved them from the Stupid Shuffle.

Angleball was played. Gloves are a bad idea. Rebar is worse at shooting.

Reason #2 you shouldn’t miss a Buckshot Fighting Yank Q…as the PAX finished up their game, which unfortunately I couldn’t play in because I had strained my back the day before, I presented them with donuts and coffee.

That’s what I call a COT.

An honor to lead, an honor to be a part…

The Thang:

Mosey to front

Mosey to bench area for wall sits

• Change partners for more DORA: CDDs, lunges and leg raises while partner bear crawls to light pole and back.  Burpees were sprinkled in throughout.

Time check for Mary.  Some challenged the Q so an emotional hijacking took place and more burpees were called.

Circle up for Guantanamo’s (Pax circle up and hold 45 degrees while one member runs around the circle and pushes the legs down).  One minute left so we finish with more burpees.
