Get yourself some skillet

May 29, 2019 / / 0 Comments

We stayed in the circle the entire time.  no running at all, not even a mosey.  thats right TopHat – no running – although I did see TopHat going for a jog after the bootcamp and Dirt did some mile prior.

 

alot of SSH, we tried to do merkins a few times, however, I could not remember how to count.  Also, we did one set of SSH silently.  Few lunges, bear crawls, squats, planks, mike tysons, few ab exercises and found out Time Frame loves oblique crunches.

Prayers

Many pax lost loved ones or had many medical events – prayers to all

The Storm after the storm?

April 9, 2019 / / 0 Comments

In last weeks addition of The Storm we more than moseyed. This week the decision was made to take the Storm to the next level and not leave the parking lot.  In fact, we almost did not even leave the warm up circle.

SSH to warm up – no counting here, just SSH.  Whilst we all SSH I explained the exercises written in a circle along with a few coupons.  As usually Buckeye’s classics hits are playing in the background, for some reason the music from my speaker is louder here than when I Qued Folsom a couple weeks ago.  Everyone loved the music except for SisterAct.

The Circle of Pain Lab?  These exercises were written in a circle  in the parking lot prior to some EC.  Turns out, the exact number of PAX showed to match the exact number of exercises planned for the morning.   Serendipity?

  • Squat press with 30lb dumb bells
  • 45lb plate carrier
  • Mike Tyson’s
  • Swimmers
  • Shoulder flys with 10lb dumb bells
  • step back lunge
  • bear crawl
  • Freddy Mercury
  • Plank
  • Curls with 20lb dumb bells
  • reverse bear crawl – SisterAct mentioned that there is an actual name for these but I dont have time for that – so we will call them BEEP BEEP Bear Crawl
  • Run – see not pain lab – we actually had a running exercise
  • SSH

We made it through just over 2 rounds of this when Sargento had to leave us making our perfect numbers no so perfect any more.  Time for a change.  Lets mosey.   We completed a short mosey to the wall on the side of the school where one round of the stupid shuffle was completed because Termite had never experienced it before.  Mosey around the back of the school back to the flag.

Tunes were selected for stretching, as always, we stretch with Disney Princesses.  5 minutes of stretching later and its time.

Pledge

Announcements:

  • Hike May 5th – its a Sunday morning – see Gastone for more info.
  • Sargento has the Q for the next addition of The Storm
  • Community Run on Saturday
  • 3rd F Friday night with very “special” guest ToolTime

Prayer Request:

Hustled to the stop sign near on our way to the Goat.  Plank.  Plank.  Plank.  We were in the middle of a neighborhood so Quiet shoulder taps in quiet cadence – I can not count this morning. Lets Hustle.

Hustled across Goat Island to the big bridge.  Plank for the six.  Half pax on one side, half on other.  Stupid shuffle to half way point of the bridge and switch sides.  This was a crowd favorite.  No jokes here.  Lets Hustle.

Thanks to bedpan for allowing me to lead on this morning. Thanks to SA and his patience with getting this bb posted.

Ssh, arm circles, imperial walkers

short mosey for some coupons.

Partner up. 3 sets of each exercise whilst your partner runs to the end of the parking lot and back. Music of choice this morning – Frank Sinatra. If you want the music changed you and your partner will have to perform 5 wolverine burpees.

Deep see divers, shoulder flies, crunchy frogs. I think. It has been a while since this actually happened. I had to call out some runners as I think they were actual lay faster than they were portraying.

SA and leppard did not like my music so they completed 5 wolverines on top of the other exercises.   At some point we add a farmer carry for all pax to carry 45 lb plates to the catering van and back.

circle up for some core time.  Extended cross, real big big boys, reverse hammers, extended cross and new favorite figure eights where we were lead by some music pax in “he’s got the whole world in his hands”

A stranger from a strange land of Princesses, Disney Princesses

February 26, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Waylon Jennings and the country outlaws are playing as the Pax roll in.

no rain, we have an FNG Todd.  Disclaimer, Let the music begin.  Disney Princess Radio leads off, If you want to change the station please complete 5 blockee’s.

SSH in cadence, Imperial walkers in cadence, Moroccan Night Clubs in cadence.

Grab some blocks and move to the tennis courts.  Thank  you Sparky for bringing the coupons.  We have 14 pax this morning and only 13 blocks, luckily (remember what luck is) we had some extra 45 lb plates to use as well.

Thrusters x 15, bear crawl across tennis court, 15 American hammers each side, nur across tennis court, 15 mike tysons, bear crawl across tennis court, 15 freddy mercury’s each leg, nur across tennis court, 15 step back lunges each leg then run back to the beginning.

after first set we plank for the six.

This time, we take turns farmer carrying the 45 lb plates around the tennis courts whilst the pax continues with 2 more rounds of the above exercises. The pax seem to be enjoying the music even singing along with the Disney Princesses.  I thought these Folsom boys were tough guys, but apparently they have a soft spot for Princesses, or maybe they are Princesses.  Show to know.

As we plank for the six to finish the 3rd round some start to complain about the music.

As we circle up for some core time, Montross completes 5 blockees and request some more Waylon Jennnings.  We keep passing the 45s and work through various ab exercises including fan favorite reverse American Hammers, Straight Leg Freddys, Figure Eights, Extended Cross and Real Big Boys.  Time is running out.  5 minutes of Stretching, 22 for the vets, take the coupons back to Sparky’s Truck.

is that a football?

January 15, 2019 / / 0 Comments

13 Pax pushed the rock and this cool evening.  QIC was tossing a football and got some of the PAX excited.  17:30 hits, time to roll.

SSH 41 in cadence, merkins, MNC, Squats…. Mosey around parking lot past turd shack.  plank for six.  Whilst we here lets do some synchronized planking on the QIC.

Next we do a modified individual DORA.  Step back lunge, Mike Tysons, Freddy Mercury run to other end of parking lot and repeat 5x.

As you finish run laps around the large island in the middle of the parking lot.  Plank.  Synchronized plank (something about a Freight moon) into some merkins in cadence, I believe we did whilst complaining.

Next is Circle up for Global warming by the odd ones and bear crawl the evens around the circle.  Lots of confusion here.  Mostly due to the QIC not being very clear and some of the pack do not know odd or even number.  Mary.  Finish with a gentle mosey to the flag.  The football was not used.  Sorry SA.
