Tag: The Storm (Page 15 of 26)

There were 6 strong men who showed for the Storm.last Tuesday. This is what I remember…

There were some of Stuart Cramer students hanging out yelling about their “beach day”. At 5:30 in the morning, that’s a heck of an early start but school’s almost out! Good for them!

Warm-Up: Goof Balls x15 IC, Imperial Walkers x15 IC, 5 burpees for the passing train.

Pledge

Bring Mary Up (Gastone version where we hold 6″ and raise them up when told). Feel the burn!

Mosey (very short) over to the wide sidewalk for a round of Blackjack. At one end we start with 20 merkins, run to the other end for 1 LBC. Back and forth, 19 & 2, 18 & 3, etc. This really started to suck around 13 or 14 reps of merkins so YHC offered an omaha switch to squats for those that wanted it. I did! This was a real sweat maker.

A short mosey closer to the school, we stayed on the wide sidewalk for a round of Dora 123. Partner up for 100 dips, 200 flutter kicks & 300 side straddle hops. The non-exercising partner would run down to the beach bums and back while the other did their thing. Good sweat!

Last mosey back to the start for the Lovely Day routine with Bill Withers. Hold plank position and do a mountain climber each time they say Lovely Day. We got about 3 minutes through it when time was up.

Thank you for letting me lead you again men. It was  pleasure as always.

Moleskin: I wanted to Q a last time before some dental surgery that will keep me out for a week or more. It will be hard to be away but I know all our PAX will represent until I return. Hold down the fort men, you are the BEST!

7 Pax in the Gloom to start today. 2 showed up while we were 2 sets into the warmup. ShortSale and Westpoint you still owe 19 Burpees.

Warmup; 10 burpees, next exercise is 9 burpees; disclaimer for FNG. Welcome Westpoint glad you’re here. Next exercise is 8 burpees, next exercise is 7 burpees and you get the idea down to 2, on the last set which should have been 1 YHC called 10 burpees. Definitely heard some trains through this so I think we are caught up. AYE. Nice work men. Thanks OBT, appreciate you sharing this one.

Pledge

Mosey to the football field and stopped at the bottom of the ramp for 15 Donkey Kicks IC. Continue to track for the MONSTER MILE. Run track, when you come to the home side bleachers hit the all the stairs (up and down same flight split by handrail) and continue lap, repeat for 4 laps. We had another train on the second lap in the middle of the stairs- 5 burpees- Strong work by all. YHC told Pax to plank it up at the goal line when complete for the six. Next pax were asked to partner up and fireman carry to the 20, switch positions to the 40. Bring it back with wheelbarrows. Circle up at endzone for SSH x 15 IC, Mericans x 15 IC, and WW1 x 12 OYO. Pax line up on goal line for 50 yd sprint. Mayor let out a “somebody cut him”. #DRP for all!!! Run back to shovel flag. Time.

Moleskin; Shadrap made the trip down to the Rock for their 3 year convergence and knew pretty quick what the warmup was, nice to have you back out brother. All pax enjoyed this warmup, think it will stick. The monster mile proves to be a challenge for sure. This definitely felt like hitting a wall. Thanks for push ShortSale. All pax pushed hard and got it done. Then the partner work we were at 9 and a fight almost broke out between Tophat and Mayor, but the Mayor lost and Tophat bear crawled and lunged. Way to push it Tophat, #TClaps. Couple of warmup exercises to keep things moving, then finished with an all out 50 yrd sprint. Westpoint got some wheels. We put in 2.25 miles, #DRP. Thanks for oppurtunity to lead you men, #ISI.

BOM; TopHat, thanks for taking us out.

10 PAX showed up at the Storm today to put in some work.  I hate to admit it, but I was less than prepared to lead today.  Admittedly, I didn’t put a lot of thought into the workout, and pulled it together by stealing bits and pieces of workouts from previously posted back blasts.  I’d also like to apologize again to Mayor for silencing him when he was really just trying to build morale… #mayorlove. I’d go into more detail, but if you want to know these inside quips you need to show to know.  Let that be motivation for all you fartsackers out there to get posting.  Bottom line, I will do better next time.  Ok enough apologizing, here’s what went down at the Storm.

As always it was a pleasure to lead you men. #DFQ

5 HiM including 1 FNG fought the fartsack, and a what looked like a heavy coating of dew (some would argue it was rain), to put in some work at the Storm.  The great thing about the Storm is there are endless areas to exercise.  Today was one big loop with running and pain stations and we didn’t even cover the entire AO.  With that said here’s what went down at the Storm this morning.
