  • It’s an up hill battle

    6 of the worlds finest HIM made their way out of the fartsack to see that YHC had brought the medicine ball

    After explaining that the ball was made because the dog had put a hole in a kick ball, Last Call made a comment about the dog only to find out she is no longer alive and in true PAX form everyone started to pile on. The ball was handed to Last Call and away we went single file last person hands the ball to the next to last person in line and then runs to the front, repeto all the way to the bottom.

    COP: DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Squat Walkers, Dead Man Hangs, American Hammers, Merkins

    Mosey to the first light pole: PAX runs to the next light pole for a called exercise while one man Bear Crawls and pushes the ball to the pole to join PAX repeto until all 6 HIM have had a chance to push the ball. Next round timer picks the ball up and Lunges to join the PAX at each light pole (X6). Next round no exercises for the PAX just run light to light while each man takes the ball and runs with it over head. Finish at the top of Mount Chaplain.

    Running down hill and stop at each paved area do 20 of called exercise (ab exercises) to the bottom of the hill. On the way back up Bernie and stop at each paved area for called exercise (legs exercises). At the top do 20 Burpees OYO.

    BTTF

    At the flag the PAX holds Lazy Boy position while each HIM does an ab exercise of their choice 20 times. This is where we got to learn the real reason they named him Snuff.

    Merkin ring of fire, PAX holds plank while each HIM does 10 Merkins of their choice

    NMS: Today was one of those days where it felt like (at least to YHC) a bunch of buddies getting together and catching up while getting a workout in. YHC is guilty of more first F than 2nd F at the beatdowns and only minimal third F lately. Life is hard, it’s even harder when you don’t share it with others. Get out of your head, out of your space, out of your comfort zone and live life together.

  • The stars are always brighter after a good rain

    9 Star gazers made their way out of the rain soaked gloom to find what they thought would be wet soccer fields.

    Mosey to the tennis courts: COP (pay toll along the way 20 Dips, 20 Derkins)

    DQ’s run a lap, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers

    Mosey out to the main parking lot to find 12 frisbees with lights on them set up in a big circle and a bucket in the middle. Start in the middle at the bucket and run to one of the stars and do 25 of the exercise on the frisbee, run back to the bucket do 5 burpees and move on to the next star until you’ve done all the stars.

    Mosey to the first corner, hit all four corners with 10 of those exercises, chris cross do those exercises with burpees at the bucket. We missed 2 exercises, Ball Dippers and Hand Release Merkins and Last Call wanted to do Arm circles so as the PAX went back and forth for the last 2 stars we did Arm circles forward and backwards and last but not least 5 more burpees

    Mosey BTTF pay more tolls (Taxation without representation) this is a Dictatorship and YHC got to be the Dic today.

    At the flag get in your best Lazy Boy position and recline

    NMS:

    Stars was really supposed to be Clocks and the 12 frisbees where supposed to be the numbers but the fields at No Toll really retain water and it was only 36 degrees this morning (or as we like to call it 70 and sunny) so clocks was moved to the parking lot and renamed stars. Snuff and Last Call where thinking about all the burpees we did and tried to add them all up afterwards, if my math is correct we should have done right around 75 burpees this morning.

  • Oyster is a fast Beast!

    9 masters of their own destiny made their way to Timberwolf to see what they could pack in before 6:15.

    Mosey to the front parking lot for COP

    DQ’s, Imperial Walkers, Helicopters, LBC’s, Merkins

    Mosey to light pole alley via the bus lot Lunges, butt kickers, high knees, Karaokes mosey to the track

    Using the 25, 50 and 25 yard lines do 6 of said exercise turn around at the goal line and repeto on the way back. Exercises where Merkins, Hello Dollies, Squats, American Hammers, Prisoner of Wars and Burpees

    Mosey back to light pole alley at the third light pole Big Boy Skip around to the gate

    Mosey walk with hands in the air to the bus lot stretch out the arms with some arm circle OYO, single file bus lot tracers while doing a raise the roof.

    Mosey to the front lot circle up for some Man Killers (YHC started in cadence on accident) switch to regular count starting at 8 and working down to 1. Much to Nancy Lopez’s dismay, he really wanted to stay in cadence for the entire Man Killer set.

    BTTF Florence led some Not so Lazy Boys and we did a few WWII and some stretches to get our moneys worth.

    Numbers / Names Florence took us out

    NMS: Oyster said that the beast was faster than usual. Oyster will need to come to Twin Team when YHC is Q and hear the continued saga of the Beast of Twin Team. The naming of this BB was difficult to decide due to the fact that during the Beast Nancy went down at the 50 yard line with a cramp in his hamstring like he was reliving his football days and faking an injury because the team has no time outs and the linemen are gassed. There was also some mumble chatter about getting Nancy and Parker into a Smart car (Provided by Kelly) tomorrow at satan’s Hill. Oyster did for the record say, he would personally push the car up the hill if both of them could fit in it.

  • So what really happened at door 23?

    14 of the worlds finest men of valor stopped by to what YHC had planned for today. 10 chose correctly to head out to battle and defeat the mighty foe (AKA Sad Clown) 4 ran away and did not return until the foe was defeated. According to the bus drivers this is what happened.

    COP: DQ’s – 5 burpees, Helicopters – 4 burpees, Imperial Walkers – 3 burpees, WWII – 2 burpees, Merkins – 1 burpee

    Mosey to door number 1 as a group follow the doors around and alternate exercises to the number on the door Merkins, Big Boy Sit-ups and 2 count Ball Dippers. After door #33 we had a little time left so a Indigenous people curb crawl was called. Last in line does 10 Squat Jumps runs to the front. Time was called, everyone does 20 Squat Jumps.

    NMS:

    Door 23 was a good topic of discussion this morning and what actually happened to it. There is only an outline and a set of steps to let you know that it was ever even there. Legend has it the there was a kid named Billy Jackson back a few years after the school was built, Billy was a challenging child at best. Back then the teachers could spank the disruptive problem children and that usually straightened them out a bit but not Billy, he just kept on with his mumble chatter and disrespect of authority. After Billy was in the 7th grade for the 4th year in a row Mrs. Crambackler decided she had had enough and she took Billy out back through door 20A and into door 23. She locked the door on the way out and school went on as usual ending around 2:30 that day but everyone forgot that Billy had not come out of door 23. Several weeks latter when everyone was wondering why the class disruptions where way down someone asked where was Billy. That’s when Mrs. Crambackler smiled and said that he had moved suddenly to Hoboken, NJ. A nice Handyman from the area was asked to take door 23 out and brick it over. Nobody since has ever seen what is behind the bricks that used to be door 23 but if you listen real closely as you pass by you can hear Mumble Chatter as you pass by.

  • There will be NO running

    5 southsiders made their way to the parking lot at Timberwolf for a cloudy but not yet rainy day.

    Mosey run 20 yard round the cone back to the flag area end of running for today

    COP – DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers Hermie joins in now we have 6

    Stay in place – BLIMPS in the circle start with 5 rotate to the right after you do the burpees go to the wall and do wall sits until the next person gets to the wall and you go to lunges. Set 2 is 10 and rotate, set 3 is 15 and rotate and last set is 20. Marmaduke figured out that it made the most sense to have the burpees be the timer and everyone else did their exercise until the timer went to do wall sits. This is a work in progress and would really work best with 7 HIM

    Mosey walk to the light poles

    Triple check – P1 LBC, P2 Hello Dollies and P3 bear crawl to next light and crawl bear back

    Mosey walk to the tennis court

    4 corners C1 10 ball dippers per leg, C2 20 jump squats, C3 30 Calf raises (in/out) and C4 40 Squats

    Indigenous people lunge walk, last person does 5 burpees

    BTTF LBC’s (IC), Merkins (IC) and Low squats (IC)

    NMS:

    YHC and a few others are heading to Petersburg this Saturday for a half Marathon so running was not going to be a part of the beatdown today. For a run light beatdown there was not a lot of Mumblechatter this morning which is usually an indicator of a gassed PAX.

  • Nice and easy run

    With YHC’s normal partner in crime (Doublemint) out on vaca this AM and a half Marathon on the books for this Saturday in Petersburg a nice and easy (little higher pace) 2 to 3 miler was planned. YHC didn’t plan on a hill getting in the way but because it was a shorter than normal run it probably was a good thing.

    From BWES back to Terrington take a right at the circle and climb, take a left and climb, take a right and continue to climb. Cross Robious and down Twin Team to finish

  • Substitute Q

    4 HIM gathered at the Forge this morning waiting on a 5th that was supposed lead. 5:30 and Snuff is no where in sight, YHC was faster then Last Call on picking up the Q. So lets mosey out and see what YHC can come up with.

    First parking lot down circle up

    DQ’s, 5 Burpees, Helicopters, 4 Burpees, Imperial Squat Walkers, 3 Burpees. Russian Soldiers, 2 Burpees, SSH’s, 1 Burpee

    Mosey to the bottom lot

    Each PAX pick an exercise run up or down Mt Chaplain doing 10 of that exercise at each lot finish at the end with 5 burpees.

    Mosey to the side of the school – partner 1 starts with dips while partner 2 runs to steps and does toothfairies up the steps and then back. set 2 and 3 wall sits and ?

    mosey up and over to the ES different partner, partner 1 exercise while partner 2 runs around circle X3

    Move to circle for curb crawls while last person does burpees and then takes the lead. One minute of toe taps

  • Murph, party of 2, Murph party of 2?

    2 wild and cray guys made their way to a Twin Team beatdown on the last Friday of the month expecting the usual Honeymoon lead pain fest but at 5:31 it was decided that a warm up was in order.

    COP

    DQ’s and away we went through JRHS parking lots and one lap around the track to the BWES playground.

    YHC and Rosie alternated cadence on merkins and squats until 10 reps where complete along with the pull ups

    Run back through JRHS track and parking lot

    Numbers / Names YHC took us out

    NMS: The Murph is always a tough beatdown but it’s nice to be able to see or track your improvement over time. YHC is still not able to do 10 sets of 10 pull ups but its getting better every time. Happy to have the time to talk about our family trip out west with Rosie who’s family is heading there in a couple weeks.

  • Frisbees on the track

    6 slightly awake men gathered at Timberwolf to hear that 1 more would be coming in hot.

    Mosey to the parking lot for COP

    DQ’s, 5 Burpees, Helicopters, 4 Burpees, Imperial Walkers, 3 Burpees, Russian Soldiers, 2 Burpees, SSH, 10 Burpees for Hermie

    Mosey to the track with 12 frisbees in hand. Frisbees have painters tape with an exercise wrote on them. We moseyed the track putting frisbees in every other lane in four locations. PAX gets in groups in a lane do 25 of the exercise on your frisbee run to the next frisbee do 25 of that exercise. Complete all four in that lane and switch lanes. Once all PAX have done all lanes and exercises PAX does a frisbee pick up, YHC runs ahead and grabs 2 frisbees mixes them up and lets a HIM pick a frisbee, PAX does 25 of that exercise.

    Mosey up to the end of light pole alley, various leg exercises at each cone, at the last one switch to run to each light pole add one merkin at each.

    At the bus parking lot circle up for American Hammers.

    NMS:

    This was the first time working this Beatdown and I think it went fairly well. We only had 1 light so that kept us together for the most part. If I did it again I would make the exercises like WWII’s and Hand Release Merkins a 10 count rather than 20 because they take so much longer.
