Month: October 2022 (Page 6 of 11)

Ran through Martha Rivers parking lot and between fields, stopped and did step ups and dips at the shack, lots of burpees were had.  Everyone was definitely in favor of more burpees, but I had to keep us moving through the woods over to Gastones Hill for some bear crawls and merkins and squats.

On the way back, Watts Up and HushPuppy decided they wanted to do even more burpees, so we learned how HushPuppy does burpees, isolating each movement, ending with Bobby Hurleys. It was suggested we do 8-count body builders to finish strong.

8 PAX showed up in the gloom to put in some work at The Ricky Bobby on 10/12/22

Started off with the usual, warmup, pledge, obligatory safety statements.

Usual cycle of burpees, merkins, then moseyed around the building. then arrived around back and did 8-count body builders, kraken burpees, & Hushpuppy burpees.

At this point I deleted the weinke on my phone and had to freestyle, which led to bear crawls, karaoke, lunges skips, etc across the front of the school.

Introduced a new exercise called “Tapioca”.  Basically its a greatly shorten version of Karaoke, that would fit in a speed ladder.

I rolled into Folsom Saturday Morning with a plan for rain.  The rain passed, but the workout was set. This was my 100th post and my mom’s 73rd Birthday.  With that information I planned the day.

Warm up:

25 SSH ic

We moseyed down the shelter to begin. As we moved tables we found broken glass in the middle of the floor. These HIMs didn’t even flinch, they moved the table over the glass and got to work.

The Thang(3 rounds):

50 Plank Jacks

50 Hello Dollies

100 LBCs

50 Merkins

50 Leg Raises

100 Lunges(50/side)

50 Breakdancer Merkins

50 Groiners

100 Gas pumpers

100 Mtn Climbers

The mumble chatter began after the first round. Gearwrench was complaining about pulling his right nut and modified accordingly. We got about halfway through the last round, omaha’d and moseyed back to the COT.

700 reps/round for 3 rounds in honor of my Mom’s Birthday. Great job HIMs!!

Ozark Out

It felt like Monday as I pulled into Pelicans for my first-ever post at The Labyrinth.  Don’t know if today’s “Site Q Swap” was a surprise to anyone, but it doesn’t matter.  Planting the guest shovel flag at 0528, I was greeted by EZ Rider, JJ, and Captain Stubing.

At 0530 we began with the pledge then warmed up with SSH, Hillbilly walkers, Plank jacks and Nolan Ryans (each 10xIC) and 5 burpees OYO.  Next moseyed across the street to the brightly lit bank parking lot for The Thang:  Do an exercise until the first PAX reaches the specified number of reps and calls “Done!” then run a lap around the building and repeato.  Really it was 1.25 laps since we changed corners for each exercise.  Another twist in the rules = same PAX cannot finish first for 2 exercises in a row.  Exercises were:
25 hand-release merkins
50 squats
75 flutter kicks (count one leg)

PAX started to catch on to the routine at this point.  Mumblechatter speculated about which exercises are suited for high rep counts.  I commented that the Weinke was carefully orchestrated so that we’d make it to 250 burpees.   All of a sudden there was concern about Maybelline and the alternate “Site Q Swap” experience over at The Ricky Bobby.  Continuing the progression:

100 Nolan Ryans (single count / 50 each side)
125 Air presses
150 Rocky Balboas (count both sides)
175 mountain climbers (count both feet)
150 LBC’s (These were tough but accompanied by sighs of relief that 250 burpees was an idle threat or Omaha.)
125 Morrocan nightclubs
100 plank jacks
75 American hammers (count both sides)
50 squats
25 hand-release merkins

With 5 minutes left on the clock, we circled up for 3 rounds of rapid-fire Mary, then moseyed back to the flag for COT.

Lagniappe:  Every Wednesday for most of the past 2 years (as long as I’ve been in town), I’ve posted at The Ricky Bobby.  It’s conveniently across the neighborhood (though inconveniently at 0530…).  Every now and then, though, it’s good to disrupt your normal routine and try something new.  I know well the terrain surrounding Pelican’s because I’m a Sandlot regular.  But, big kudos to Maybelline, who took on the Q this morning at The Ricky Bobby, a site he’s never visited!
