Warm up

SSH x 10 IC or how ever many it takes till the late arrivals get in the circle

Grass pickers x 10 IC

Dying Cockroaches x 10 IC

Mosey past the playground to the parking lot for the Thang.

Merkin & BURPEE DANS!!!!!!

We started with Merkins and then switched to Burpees. We lined up across the curb and did 1 Merkin/Burpee and 4 lunges, then another Merkin/Burpee and 4 lunges. It was about 2 – 3 sets per rep.  At the other side we turned around and came back. Only we added a  Merkin/Burpee. So 2 Merkin/Burpees and 4 lunges. then at the other side add another Merkin/Burpee. All the way to 10 Merkin/Burpees. We completed all the Merkins but not the Burpees. Also we did the same format but did LBC and crab walk from one side to the other.

Warm afternoon in the region’s finest afternoon AO and a nice crowd of manly Pax are ready to put in some work.

Warmup
SSH a 30 IC
Abe Vigodas x 15 IC
Low Slow Squats x 15 IC
Let’s go!

Mosey to small soccer field where some half cinder blocks were waiting. I weighed one of these at around 25 pounds so this is below the Painlab (mainly Rudolph) mandated weight of 32 pounds but it will have to do.

Blocks
40 curls (called by Slaw), 40 chest presses (called by Blart), 40 overhead presses (called by Defib), lap around the soccer field, 40 LBC’s (called by Tiger), 40 Flutter Kicks (called by Dr. Seuss), 40 American Hammers (called by Love Boat), lap around the soccer field.
Repeat 3 times.

Mosey to dog park hill.

Triple Dime
10 Merkins at the bottom, 10 IW Squats at top, 10 times. Slaw wanted to call this the Dime Bag but I think that means something else, at least that’s what Freight said when he and Digger “joined” us on the hill climbs. I’m not sure we all completed the 10 climbs before time was called. It seems that the Pax have been trained to only climb the hill 5 times and asking for 10 was too much for some. I know Defib and Seuss and Haze likely completed all ten. Sargento was EHing people at the top that were in the Dog Park. Is there a name for someone who actively searched out people to EH especially during a difficult exercise routine? Maybe it should be called Sargento-ing!

Before we moseyed back I repeated something I paraphrased from the HIM Italian Job from The Fort – Why do we do hard things? Because life is full of hard things so we need to be strong. Is it easy to be a man of integrity everywhere you go? Is it easy to be a present father? Is it easy to be a loving husband? Being a good coworker? Is it easy to help lead others through tough times? But men with their concentrica in order will thrive in hard times. That is why we do hard things to prepare us for the hard things life will throw at us!

Back to the flag just in time.

We stretched, we ran, we stretched.

11 men total for this day’s Midoriyama workout. 1 tried on multiple occasions to take the Q but I’m pretty stubborn and kept on going.

Warmup:

? It’s 5:30 in the evening if you ain’t warmed up by now what the heck have you been doing all day? Def you can ignore that statement, we know.

Mosey to the soccer field and lay out some cones at 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 yds.

The Thang:

Red Barchetta (Kinda)(also this was named after a car). I borrowed this from some region. I think it was a part of their CSAUP or something.

Run 100 yds and do 100 SSH. Run back and do 100 more SSH.

Run 75 yds and do 75 mtn climbers. Run back and do 75 more.

Run 50 yds and do 50 LBC’s. Run back and do 50 more.

Run 25 yds and do 25 merkins. Run back and 25 more.

Run 10 yds(Broke and Seuss) and do 10 burpees. Run back and do 10 more.

Next we did some 1:4 ratio work. We did these three but split them up. We did 1-5 for each and then came back for 6-10.

Capitan America-1:4 burpee/lateral hop

Tiger King-1:4 squat/lunge

Capitan Thor-1:4 merkin/overhead press

Good Times!

Mosey back to the flag

COT:

Announcements-Convergence 10/31 at Martha’s 0700, Fitness test 11/14 at Gashouse.

Namerama

Prayer Request-SA and fam, several with sickness and loss, Slaw’s….well you know.

So today is my old high school buddy Kev Clary’s birthday. He’s 43 today so for the sake of not being too complicated I made up the workout below.

Warm up

Goofballs & Don Qs in cadence.

Mosey (with musical accompaniment hand selected by DJ Sargento) down the way to the new paved loop that overlooks the river. Starting at the place where the path splits YHC explained the Thang:

The 43

Do 43 reps of the called exercise OYO counting only one legs or whatever when appropriate to be sure we’re doing enough work. When your reps are finished do a lap around the path.

• LBCs, run lap. This route turned out to be way longer than YHC remembered but, oh well, no turning back at this point.
• Lunges, count right leg only. Run lap
• Merkins, yes from the President of the MHC. Run lap
• V-Ups Sargento style Short Sale. Run lap
• Monkey Humpers with your business end pointed at the woods so as not to disrespect the many patrons of the park. Run lap
• WWI situps. Run lap

There were 3 other exercises on the list but because the route was so long we ran out of time. Maybe next time. Mosey back to the start to finish just barely in time.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead men. AYE!!!

After an early morning 7-miler it was presumed that surely YHC would not make Midoriyama too difficult this hot September afternoon… Au contraire mon frère!  After two rounds of 4 corners at each field not a dry shirt left the place.  It was my VQ at the premiere afternoon AO so I hope I didn’t disappoint.  Met a few new HIMs and one FNG.

So it was my anniversary (for real not like Tool Times) and I didnt want to get to crazy for the workout so I gave the men the option of Ultimate Frisbee rules Football or a hardcore sprint workout. You can make a pretty good guess what we did! I personally had a great time and hope all the other men did too.

With skies threatening a washout, 11 pax took a chance on a Defib Q this afternoon.

Warm-up:

SSH and Merkins – thats enough.

Thang:

Mosey to picnic benches for a tabata style picnic –

3 sets of exercises that included –

Decline Merkins

Single leg squats

Dips

Box Jumps

Decline CDDs

Lateral leg step ups

Decline Peter Parkers

Rocky Balboas

Exercises were done for 30 seconds with a 20 second break in between.

Finally mosey back to flag for 5 minutes of Mary

The workout was difficult and induced some hunger with at least one pax resorting to licking up ants for sustenance.  Lots of mumble chatter indicated at least some pax enjoyed the beatdown.

Prayers:

Slaw, Bedpan wife surgery, Purple Haze’ s niece, Sister Act’s family, people battling addiction

6 PAX showed for a returned visit from Pizza Man.  It went like this….

TIME!!!

During COT YHC discussed the meaning of family and how important it is to schedule your workouts so it doesn’t interfere with family time.  Over the past month or so I have found that spending time with my M and 5 year old daughter is where I need to be.  I am fortunate enough to be able to workout during the day at the office and devote more time with the family in the evening.  Just think about if something were to happen to your family, would you regret not spending more time with them?  Just a thought…keep that in mind as none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.

It’s always an honor to lead a great group of men!!

Until next time Pizza Man is OOOOOOUUUUUUTTTTTTTT!!!
