PreBlast-Goat Island: Gone In 60 Seconds

Gone in 60 seconds at #GoatIsland

We won’t be boosting any cars tomorrow or driving a 1967 Ford Mustang named Eleanor, but you can channel your inner Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage) while grinding through the upper body beatdown that BA will provide you.

Extra Credit to anyone who knows why this workout will be called Gone In 60 Seconds.

PreBlast: #TheStorm Turf Monster and Hills

Get ready for the turf monster and hills.  Stuart Cramer High School offers a variety of facilities to accomplish many tasks including a lot of running, bear crawls, crab walks, lunges, and more.  You never know what the audibles could be with all of the equipment around.  Let’s start our first round of this weeks workouts strong.

BackBlast: Inaugural Goat Island AO- Upper Body Beat Down

12 Men (including 1 FNG) battled the GLOOM this morning for the inaugural workout at Goat Island.

The Cramerton community will never be the same due to seeing Godfather shirtless after the workout.  Passersby ran in fear after seeing all 350lbs of his tatted body. Don’t be surprised if there are posters out in Cramerton by next Thursday with his picture warning women and children to be on the lookout and to stay away from this behemoth.

and The Goat Island AO Begins….

  • Squeeker and Bandit got some extra credit in as they may have lost count during the cinder block chest press.  Some believe that they were just showing the rest of us up.
  • We all thought that the new bridge would be a little more sturdier, but that wasn’t the case with 12 men with cinder blocks running on it.  You could feel the vibrations and movement of the bridge with every step.

The Thursday AO at Goat Island kicks off with a cinder block beat down.  Get ready to be introduced to goat island and just barely scratch the surface of what this AO has to offer.  If you love bridges and cinder block this is the workout for you….bring your gloves.

17 men came out to get some work in the gloom at #TheStorm.  Little did these men know that they were not only in a battle against themselves, but millions of mayflies lay in wait to make the work a bit harder.  The men overcame the mayflies as many a mayfly were accidentally swallowed or swatted to death.

GasHouse BackBlast- Hitting For The Cycle and Getting Those Benjamins

  • 26 men came out to the Schiele Museum on Saturday ready to get some work in and get worked over by the QIC Brown Streak.
  • During the cycle a nice game of catch was had as a few of the PAX found one of the Patriots footballs laying by the fence (deflated) and decided to throw it around while running laps.  We did find out that Whoopee could throw the deflated ball with amazing accuracy, but Dolph couldn’t pull the catch in as it hit him right in the hands.  Also, Shrimp Boat and Dolph had a race with youth winning out over experience.
  • During Breaking Benjamins we realized the only thing we were going to get paid with was pain. We learned to hate the audible as it changed a sprint into a 40 yd bear crawl.
  • The workout seemed to fly by even though BA can’t keep time and the church bells seemed to be off 5 or so minutes.

The Thang #1

·         Whamo Lunge Walks.  Check out http://f3nation.com/exercises/#w

·         PAX chased the Frisbee around the field.

·         Sprinting to Frisbee in the air.

·         Then various lunges and crawls to reach Frisbee when it hits the ground.

·         First one to Frisbee launches it again and the chase resumes.

The Thang #2

The thought was Wheel of Animal Walk but it quickly turned into a Wheel of Animal Crawl as the Q had bigger thoughts than he did muscles. We crawled like a South Georgia gator and growled like a South Dakota bear (there are bears in South Dakota, right?) in the field, then crawled like a South Cackilacky raccoon across the bleachers (someone mentioned Godfather should have been here for this one). We broke these up with some plank as well as SSH, Merkin, mountain climbers, and a little moseying. Once we pulled the grass out of our eyes, we did 10 minutes (or maybe a little less) of Burpees and then did a little moseying before chowing down on a Bojangles biscuit with some blueberries. At this point the Q was on his knees and wishing he had fartsacked so we did a brief mosey to the flag where we did people’s chair until just before the bells of freedom rang to set us free.

Again, keep Bandit’s mother in law in prayers and a special thanks to our armed forces this holiday weekend.

Next week, Brownstreak has the Q.

NEW AO ON TUESDAYS: STUART CRAMER HIGH SCHOOL 5:30AM START
