Tag: Bon Iron

  • The 3 Amigo’s

    Machismo had a last minute early morning concrete pour, so YHC took the Q. YHC and 2 brave souls enjoyed all that Bon Iron had to offer.

    Mosey to the bus loop and warm-up: SSH (16 count, to celebrate my 16th anniversary); the perfect exercise; Merkins; ISW; Ukrainian Soldiers; WW2.

    Workout 1: Mosey to the far field for a set of 11’s (Merkins & WW2), caveat was to count them out in Spanish.

    Workout 2: Mosey to the playground, Abbreviated DORA (50 squats, 100 Freddie Mercury, 150 Monkey Humpers), while the other took a lap around the track.

    Workout 3: Took a mosey lap around the track, to set up for a Triple Check (Plank; SSH; run to fence and back)

    Workout 4: Head on over to the Bon Wall. Start with a 30 count peoples chair, bear crawl up hill and crawl bear down, 20 count Muhamad Ali’s with a crawl up and down the hill; 20 count hoe down’s with a crawl up and down the hill. Repeat 2 more times.

    As we make our way to the parking lot, 10 broad-jump burpees, followed by 10 lunges, and a sprint to the Marquee Sign. A good push to finish off.

    Numbers, Names, Announcements and Prayers.

    Coffeerama provided by Machine Head at Polk House, which always has some good discussion and fellowship

    NMS:  It’s been too long since YHC has enjoyed a build-a-beast. Banter was strong after everyone was repeatedly shouting “I’m a Star!” with the 5th Beast round. PAX looked super strong and finished the cumulative beast with plenty of time left, so we used the field markers for a classic quarter pounder to stretch our legs a bit. Enjoyed meeting Pinetree from F3 Canal Fulton (Ohio), here for his son’s soccer tournament. The Bon Iron PAX is getting bigger and stronger. Way to push fellas! Also really enjoyed our coffeerama after – appreciate you Machinhead!!! Yours AYE! ~DTH

  • Let’s Try that Again!

    I loved last weeks workout, but not everyone finished it so I thought I’d drop the gauntlet by both making it harder and telling the PAX that no one had finished this last week. The PAX did not disappoint, pushing themselves like men possessed to finish more exercises 5 minutes earlier.

    Mosey the ¾ miles around the school.

    warmarama:

    SSH, Don Quixote’s, Cherry Pickers, worlds greatest stretch, Merkins.

    The Thang:

    Mosey to the playground:

    30 Jerkins on the low bars, “on my up.”

    COP#1: Catch me if you can

    • Pair off
    • One person runs to the fence, back to the playground for 10 jerkins and then relieves their partner who is slowly inchworming across field to the same fence

    Mosey to the benches

    COP#2: Four corners prostitute style “because you need nicer abs to work corners in bon air.”

    • 25 Dips,
    • 50 Alabama Prom Dates,
    • 75 American Hammers,
    • 100 Flutter kicks.

    COP # 3: Catch me if you can again. “You are going to work your way around this Diamond three times for a grand slam.”

    • Pair up
    • One person does the exercise around the diamond while the other runs until the lap the first person and then they switch. This continues until you have completed one lap of each exercise.
      • Bear Crawls
      • Broad jump burpees
      • Sideways Squat’s

  • Gulp the Dookie

    **Warm-Up (9 min)** 

    We practiced the AMRAP and timed ourselves doing it to set a baseline to beat. It took us 9mins together to run the half mile loop and do the exorcises.

    AMRAP:
    The route is 0.6miles. At the bridge we do 10 incline pushups. On the trail we do lunges between signs about 50 feet apart. We bear crawl across the parking lot, then 10 pull-ups and 10 dips on the playground and start over. Everyone was able to complete over 3 rotations in the 28 minutes they had so everyone beat the warm-up time. Impressive group.

    Mary to the finish 

    – Circle up: Dealer’s Choice abs (each PAX calls 1 exercise x10-15 IC, e.g., plank, LBCs).

    NMS:  This was a FANTASTIC group of brothers for some CSAUP fun in the rain. Definitely challenged with the circuit reps and the mobile pull-up station worked out just fine! Nobody beat the DTH caber flip distance but a couple guys got close. To be fair this is YHC’s 12th year competing in the Henderson family Highland Games (coming up in 2 weeks) so experience pays off. The Coffeerama was amazing!!! What an awesome venue Machismo has created for this AO. And we had the very pleasant surprise visit from Snuff to join the hearty conversation. God is good ALL the time brothers. Yours AYE! ~DTH
