Tag: Midoriyama (Page 41 of 51)

18 PAX showed to get fight strong at Midoriyama. Well 19 but 1 was there to mtn bike so we will count him as gears. There’s been some talk lately about fighting and not fighting. I just want to say I’m not condoning fighting but I truly believe you have to be prepared because you never know what situation life is going to put you in. You have to be ready to protect yourself and your family.

Warmup:

Slaughter Starter-Apollo Creed Burpee x 20 (that’s one arm burpee)

Sumo Squat Jumps x 10

Daniel Son x 10ic (Just because I thought this would be funny and it was)

The Thang:

Mosey to the Stairs-2 at a time do 10 calf raises on each step x 13 steps. Plank at the bottom while you wait and wall sit at the top while you wait on the six.

Rampage-Start with 10 WWI’s at the top then bear crawl down the steps. 10 WWII’s at the bottom then NUR back to the top(this is supposed to be Crawl Bear but I do show mercy). 3 rounds. We had an on looker we tried to get involved at this point. Good Job Huck for taking the time to talk with him!

On the curb for Rocky Balboa’s for a certain amount of time

Partner up-Partner 1 Does Mike Tyson’s while Partner 2 runs around the sidewalk and up the stairs. 100 combined.

Mosey back to the flag and circle up

Iron Hulk-It’s Jack Webb’s with a 1:4 ratio. We went up to 10. These should not be that stinking hard! Wow!

Nolan Ryan x 10

Floyd Mayweather x 10ic

Punch up Merkin x 10

8 Count Body Builder x 10( an 8 count is way to much for us at Midoriyama)

Moleskin:

Great job pushing the rock today by all. So glad to see Pockets out there! It was great to see some folks that normally just visit the gloom. Gastone made his first visit. Sargento brought the cheese family out. Come back in about 2 months when it really warms up out there. Slaw came prepared for nipple scrappers but he didn’t need it. While no fights occurred today we all got a little more prepared. Weather we realize it or not we fight everyday. We fight sin, we fight ourselves, we fight life! We all are presented with challenges and we have to be prepared for whatever is put before us. Obstacles are put in your way to see if what you want is really worth fighting for. So it’s up to you. As for me I’m going to keep fighting! If you need some help I’ll fight with you too.

13 men posted for a throw back Thursday delivery from Pizza Man.  Throughout the day I kept thinking about what this delivery needed and I figured that we need to try to find a cure for soccer arms plague.  With that being said 5:30 was upon us….

Warm-up:

SSH X 25 IC

Don Q’s (For our brother Tool Time) X 10 IC

Squats X 25 SC

That’s enough warm-up…

Let’s mosey….we moseyed through Midoriyama doing different types of merkins and ab work at every parking lot opening.  Along the way we did 5 burpees(humpies) at each speed bump and of course we stopped by the playground for some work.  We continued to mosey to the shed where the we knocked out 1000 dips (LOL..see who reads this).  The mosey continued to the stairs for calf raises.  While doing these we noticed ToolTime’s vehicle pulling in with Mrs. ToolTime driving.  It was great to see our brother that had surgery earlier in the day.  What better way to greet him than Monkey Humpers.  Felt sort of bad about it with his M in the car, but then Def Leppard reminded me she was married to ToolTime.  The PAX moseyed back to the flag for Pizza Man’s finale 22 merkins for the VETS.

Exercises:

Merkins, Incline Merkins, Decline Merkins, Werkins, Diamond Merkins, Mike Tyson’s, LBC’s, WWI, Flutters, American Hammers, LBFC’s, Sandy V’s, Pull-ups, and plank

14 HIMs posted for another Pizza Man delivery at F3 Gastonia’s top AO, Midoriyama.  I knew this delivery was going to be a windy one and it didn’t let me down.  Earlier in the week the Tarhills won the Championship and being a DUKE fan I knew I would catch some grief.  With this Q, I wanted to incorporate some good HILLS in the workout for the TARHILLs.  With that being said it went like this:

Warm-Up:

SSH X 20 IC

Windmills (for the wind) X ? (There was too much mumble chatter from ToolTime)

Heck with the warm-up, time to mosey.

The Thang:

Partner up for DORA 1, 2, 3 at soccer fields:

• 100 merkins
• 200 squats
• 300 LBC’s

*During this Freight heard a train in the distance, so 5 burpees it is*

After DORA the 14 HIMs moseyed to the hill at the dog park and did:

• 10 merkins at the top
• 10 LBFC’s at the bottom

*Rinse and repeat 4 times*

Mosey to the soccer field for Rugby sprints. The exercises were:

• LBC’s
• Merkins
• WWI
• Moroccan nightclubs

Well time to mosey to the other hill. Along the way we couldn’t pass the playground and not do anything so we partnered back up and partner 1 did pull-ups while partner 2 planked it out.

*Rinse and repeat*

Time to mosey to slider hill for some work and it went like this:

• Run the down the hill and back up. At the top of the hill do 1 burpee, then repeat but next time do 2 burpees, then 3, 4, and finally finish with 5.

Well it was getting close to 45 minutes so let’s mosey back to the flag and finish the way Pizza Man does with 22 merkins for the VETS. I forgot to mention that at Midoriyama when Pizza Man has Q, every speed bump that is passed the PAX does 5 burpees(humpees).  We passed 3 speed bumps along the mosey, so that’s 15 more burpees.

Until next time Pizza Man is OOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTT!!!!

18…..I said 18 posted at Midoriyama on Tuesday! This ties the record for the third time and the 2nd in the last 2 weeks. Apparently it will work in the afternoon! We are the people of the sun. Come on out and get some vitamin D. It was great to have our resident mumble chatterer Tooltime back out. Sparky brought out the 2.0’s Madden and the newly named Aflac( he did not like this name but like most had to learn the hard way. You don’t tell us that!). Floppy Disk was there with his release form from the dentist.

Warmup:

Don Q’s x 10ic

Squats x 10ic

Seal Jacks x 10ic

The Thang:

Mosey to the stairs. 2 at a time hit the stairs and do 10 calf raises on each step. I believe there are 13 steps. All other Pax plank and wait your turn at the bottom. Once complete wall sit at the top waiting on the six.

Mosey to the parking lot. Bearcrawl to the opposite curb and do 10 merkins. Cross the island and crabwalk to the opposite curb and do 10 WWI’s. Do this again but backwards.

Mosey to the hill at the soccer field. 11’s on the hill. Start with 1 Bobby Hurley at the bottom and 10 diamond merkins at the top.

Pizza Man brought us another tire so we had a relay race. Split into 2 groups. Each Pax flips the tire then runs to the back of the line. We raced across the field and back.

With about 15 minutes left we stayed teamed up and played some ultimate football on one half of the soccer field. Just like ult. frisbee but we used a soft multicolored football. When you have a daughter that’s what the football looks like. I guess I was lucky to have one at all.

Mosey back to the flag.

I had more on the wet winke but since time was running low and we had a FNG to name, we moseyed back to the start and did 10 Dips and 5 Burp & Merks to finish up. Pizzaman took us out on 22 for the vets.
