10 total posted on Tuesday at Midoriyama. This is what we did.

Warmup:

Let’s mosey!

The Thang:

We took a stroll down to the soccer fields and back. Around the turd shack we did 10 reps each of 9 exercises. That’s one round. We continued doing this by dropping one rep each round. 10, 9, 8, 7,…..1 and done. During these exercises we had a timer set to go off every minute. When the timer goes off you have to do 2 burpees then pick back up where you left off. Everyone completed this at different times but we all picked up the 6 until everyone was finished. The 6 completed 26-1 minute rounds so that’s 52 burpees. The exercises completed are below.

Squat

Merkin

Lunge single count

Freddy Mercury single count

CDD’s

Ski Burps single count

Wall Taps

Donkey Kicks

Miranda Rights

Once complete we made our way back down to the soccer fields and back. We finished up with some Mary. LBFCs, Freddy Mercurys, Boat/Canoe, Superman holds.

Announcements-Midoriyama shirt order out until 6/2, Hat orders, Memorial Day Murph

Naked Moleskin:

Several PAX pretended to not know what the Miranda Rights exercise was but most looked pretty comfortable doing them. One PAX explained that in NOLA it usually would involve a Benjamin Franklin held in your hands.

9 PAX posted at Midoriyama on Tuesday. Several went shirtless. It was noted one of them who may or may not do some spray tan was looking like he was somewhere between an english chestnut and dark walnut stain. One was a visitor from that city we are the gateway to. I met Forge, who’s shop is right next to mine, through the Growruck in Charlotte back in August. He made some cool souvenirs for the participants and made some torture equipment for the ruck as well. I’m glad he came over and worked out with us. Hopefully he reports back to headquarters we are doing it right in the Gashouse! Anyway I’m struggling with some severe sinus pressure so I wasn’t looking to run so we did another block beatdown.

Warmup:

We did a few SSH’s and Don Q’s but again if you aren’t warmed up by this time of the day what have you been doing?

The Thang:

This is a simple one but a grinder. Set a timer for 2 minutes. Do the 5 exercises going from 5 reps down to1 then do step ups the remainder of the time. We did 10 rounds of each of the below. It was also suggested that you hold your block while doing the step ups. Most did.

5 thrusters

4 alpos

3 swings

2 overhead press

1 blockee

The next round consisted of the below

5 avalanche

4 standing chest press

3 goblet squats

2 french curls

1 blockee

There was a lot of step ups involved in this but we pushed through!

COT:

Pledge

Announcements-CSAUP at the storm 5/21 see the preblast

Prayer Request-family members ill, unspoken

Moleskin:

My boss just came in so I’m going to wrap this up!

9 Respects ,or very close to it, posted on Cinco de Mayo at Midoriyama for what turned out to be a really tough workout. If you didn’t see the nation email that came out last week out Nations Nantan Slaughter said he’s seen a lot of ussys with a P at some workouts lately. Well those weren’t his exact words. Ok maybe those were clearly mine. Either way you need to push hard at the workouts and do the actual reps! Don’t worry about being fast. Do the reps! Will doing all of those squats at an actual full bend hurt? Yes. Will moving your entire body up and down during a merkin start to hurt? Yes. That’s what happens in order to get stronger and when you see your brother cutting himself short let him know in a brotherly love kinda way. Anyway my intent was to make this one tough. Well I always try but I put a little extra stink on this one.

Warmup:

Slaughter starter-20 burpees oyo

The Thang:

Partner up and get a block for the pair. We stayed on the backside of the fence near where we keep the blocks.

Dore 12345. She’s a big girl now and can count higher. Plus it’s cinco day.

100 merkins

200 squats

300 lbc

400 seal jacks

500 back scratchers

Partner rifle carries the block down two light poles and back and switch.

Wirenut stated it wasn’t far enough until a couple rounds in we all agreed it was. The seal jacks were surprisingly hard after all the rifle carries. We were all pretty smoked at this point but we still had plenty of time.

Triple Nickel aka Tres Cinco we did several rounds of this.

5 hand release, 5 ssh, 5 dying cockroach(count one side)

5 lunges(count one side), Freddy Mercury(count one side), Diamond merkins

5 step ups(count one side), 5 dips, 5 derkins

Final push we did a Slaughter Finish-20 burpees oyo

Time!

COT:

Announcements-there is a rumor about a convergence

Prayer Request-Several college graduates, several family members, Turtle man

Moleskin:

I think I said enough at the top but strong work by everyone in attendance today!

10 took the call to get swole like Westside and Wirenut at Midoriyama on Thursday. This is what we did.

Warmup:

Blah blah it’s 5:30 in the evening you better be loose by now!

The Thang:

A throw back 2018 IPC

We grabbed some blocks out of Wirenut’s truck since he happened to have them left from his morning beatdown and headed to the bottom of the parking lot.

4 sets of 8 minutes. Do 25 reps then run to the end of the parking lot and back. Rinse and repeat for the 8 minutes. Rest for 2 minutes in between each set.

Set 1-Thrusters

Set 2-Curls

Set 3- block swings

That was terrible!

Prayer Request-Broke, Gumby’s mom, Praise for Termites brother

9 total pax for a beautiful day at Midoriyama to suck in all the pollen that we could. Leppard had the Q but pushed his wife down the stairs again so he had to take her to the doctor. I’m always willing to step in so I dug through the archives and found one  that I had saved that I could tell was going to have a high suck factor. It did not disappoint.

Warmup:

SSH x 10ic- Broke is starting to look like a cross between Leppard and Tesla while doing these now

Low slow squat x 10ic

I’m not much on the warmup this late in the day so let’s get busy. We grabbed some blocks and hit the parking lot on the other side of the turd shack.

The Thang:

10 blockees-Oh the moans from the crowd!

20 Thrusters-yet again more moans

30 Hand Release merkins-the moans stopped as the pax let defeat settle in

40 Lunges(count each leg)

Run 2 laps around the parking lot

Rinse and repeat.

We did this for the entire time and it was terrible. I started blacking out at one point I really felt like I was going to go out. Mayor almost puked 13 times. Blart had a bet going for when Mayor would puke. Termite said he laid enough block and refused to pick one up. Oompa started but pulled a half flaming cropduster. He just walked off with his block to the woods. We thought he was going to leave but he came back eventually to do a modified version. Wirenut didn’t think it was hard enough and did his lunges on the curb so that they would be deeper. Speaking of deeper there was a surprising amount of sexual innuendo’s during this workout. I mean we usually have some but this one was a little disturbing at times.

COT:

Announcements-Convergence this Saturday at The Yank, SMR meeting after, Community run 4/9, Trash pickup 4/16

Prayer Request-Mayor took us out

Pledge-Led by Oompa

Moleskin:

This one was so good Blart even said goodbye to me. It was from his truck and he was giving me the California howdy but he did at least say bye!

10 peeps posted to Midoriyama  on Tuesday. A few did some soccer practice work while the others did the Broke hero WOD since it was his birthday.

Warmup:

SSH x 10ic

Don’s x 10 ic

Let’s mosey to the small soccer field

Broke’s WOD:

I thought of some different words or phrases that also mean broke then used those to find exercises. 51 reps of each exercise was completed for his age and after each we did the Wojo to the other side of the field and back. The Wojo is a side shuffle like basketball practice(since Broke was a baller back in the day) after every 5 steps bend down and slap the ground.

Bankrupt=Burpees(his least favorite) There was a less than stellar performance by the PAX here. I guess when you say 51 burpees right off the bat it takes the wind right out of their sail. There was lot of standing and talking by several. Hate to see it!

Wojo

As poor as a church mouse=American Hammer(his favorite)

Wojo

Destitute=Deconstructed burpee

Wojo

Impoverished=Iron Mike(jump lunge)

Wojo

Poor=Pretzel crunch

Wojo

Penniless=Peter Parker

Wojo

Down and out=Dirty Hookup

Wojo

Mosey back to the flag and finish with a minute and a half of burpees.

Some reasons Broke is my hero. Broke is a Godly man with strong faith. A good father whose dedication is represented by the good daughters he has raised. He is a dedicated and hard worker who is always willing to help someone out. He’s always respectful.

Most of the above was copied and pasted from July of 2020 when I created this WOD. I’ve got to add that since then Broke signed up for a half marathon just to support me in my effort. He trained long, terrible weathered, and route picked miles with me the whole way. Because of his support during training and his insistence on going out hot in the race I was able to far exceed my goal. Thanks #HAL

COT:

Announcements-A lot of folks running relays this weekend so make sure you show up at the AO’s to support each other, convergence 4/2 at the yank
