  • An Unexpected Visit from a Veteran

    4 PAX came to Goyne Park for a frigid morning in the Bermuda Triangle. Doolittle and Big Rig started with a mosey lap around the parking lot, and on their way back 2 vehicles were pulling in.

    It was 2 PAX that haven’t been seen in awhile. Shooter McGavin who’s been busy with work, and Broadway, who’s on the mend from a heart attack.

    We got into it with some warmarama exercises and some merkins mixed in.

    We meandered over to the other side of the outhouse and got some (a lot) Wall sits and hoe downs with some more merkins and ab exercises(a lot) mixed in.

    Great to have Shooter and Broadway back. Don’t worry, Broadway was taking it easy.

    Lots to pray for!

  • We’re Gonna Take You Higher

    On a chilly, but clear morning, 2 Bermuda Boys came out to Goyne Park to take things to another level.

    Warmarama

    530 hit and Doolittle and YHC started a long mosey. After a mile, they found themselves at the basketball court, and finished the warmarama with some SSH, Imperial Squat Walkers, and Ukrainian Soldiers.

    COP 1 Groundwork

    Alternating 10 sets of 10 Merkins and 10 sets of Ab/Core Exercises including Kimchee Twists, Box Cutters, Hello Dollies, Oblique LBCs, Flutter kicks, American Hammers, Star Crunches, and some others YHC can’t remember.

    COP 2 Suicide Penguins

    Plain old Suicides, stopping at the normal suicide stops for a set of 25 DC Penguins at each. Finish with 1 set of Merkins to Failure.

    Mosey back to the parking lot

    1 more set of Merkins to Failure

    COP 3 Cindy Songorama

    “I want to take you Higher” Sly and the Family Stone

    Goblet/Sumo Squats for the majority of the song

    Overhead Press on every “Higher”

    Higher is repeated almost FIFTY times, and the song is over 5 minutes long!

    COP 4 Single leg Balancing and Jumping

    Balance on each leg for 1 minute, then Nancy Kerrigan’s for 20 counts In Cadence on each leg

    Great work by the PAX on this one!

    Lots to Pray for

  • No Dips

    2 PAX showed up at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for the weekly Extra Credit session. YHC feels like his Pull-ups have regressed in recent months, so he decided to just do pull-ups this morning. Doolittle was getting in some work of his own before we increased the intensity for Bermuda Triangle.

  • The Dirty Thirty Lives

    Chaplain may not have been at The Graveyard Shift on the misty, sometimes rainy morning at the track at Swift Creek Middle, but his presence was felt. The Dirty Thirty was his creation, and two Swift Freaks decided to awaken it from the dead. On this, the 30th day of October, the eve of Halloween, The Dirty Thirty was ready to unleash it’s fury. It almost had each of them spewing Merlot like exorcised little girls. But they kept the beast at bay. So after the 30 sprints of 100 meters, almost every minute on the minute, for 30 minutes, the beast was put back to rest. And those two Swift Freaks, were not so swift for the remainder of the day.

  • Pull Ups For One

    YHC was flying solo this morning, but got in some needed Pull Ups.

    EMOM Pull-ups, Dips, and Jerkins, changing grips, and doing some negatives.

  • Not Just Four Corners, All The Corners

    It was a cool, damp morning in the gloom in the Bermuda Triangle. The chance of rain managed to keep the soft commits in the fart sack, but there were 2 PAX that knew that it doesn’t rain in The Bermuda Triangle.

    The clock struck 530, and the PAX were off for a mosey around Ecoff Elementary, about a half mile, then into the standard warmarama complete with Nancy Kerrigan’s, Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, and LBCs.

    1st COP Merkin Burnout Four Corners Prostitute Style

    12 Merkins at each corner (Or to Failure)

    1st corner Standard Merkins

    2nd corner Wide Merkins

    3rd corner Ranger Merkins

    4th corner Diamond Merkins

    Wow! That’s a lot of Merkins, even only doing a max of 12 reps per set. Ends up being 16 sets.

    2nd COP Legs Galore Standard Four Corners

    1st corner Goblet Squats with Cindy

    2nd corner 10 Bulgarian Split Squats per leg

    3rd corner 30 double count Lunges

    4th corner 40 Jump Squats

    3rd COP Mini AbCathlon Four Corners Prostitute Style

    1st corner 10 V Ups

    2nd corner 20 LBCs

    3rd corner 30 Penguins

    4th corner 40 Plank Jacks (They’re done in Plank, so they’re an Ab exercise, right?)

    The Four Corners might just be YHC’s favorite COP, especially Prostitute Style!

    Great to have Doolittle there working shoulder to shoulder with YHC.

    Lots to Pray for!

    SYITG

  • Pre VQ Pull-ups

    3 Savages met up at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for some Pull ups, with a side of Dips. We Pulled ourselves up and dipped to new lows. A great time was had, and we later endured the wrath of Doolittle’s VQ.

  • Pre B Day Pull-ups

    3 HIM came together at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for the usual Extra Credit Pull Up and Dip training session. There were band assisted pull ups, chin ups, corn cob pull ups, jerkins, dips, among other things. All PAX involved we’re stronger for being there. And they would receive the reward in a Pool Boy Bday Beatdown, that would include 90 Thrusters.

  • Pull Ups are Back!

    4 Over Achievers joined up at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for the first Extra Credit session in several weeks. But Pull Ups are back and here to stay. There were some pull ups, pull up negatives, some jerkins, some dips, and some incline merkins. But a good time was had.

  • Thunderstruck by a Total Eclipse of the Heart before it was Raining Tacos

    5 Bermuda Boys came to Goyne Park to enjoy a Cindy, EMOM timer free, Non Iron PAX workout! However, if anyone thought it going to be a Broga Session, they would be sorely mistaken. The temps were cool and the PAX were ready to go at 530.
