  • It was saucy, now it’s spicy

    It’s good to keep the Pax guessing. Are we running? How far? NOT today! To Dumar’s delight, the longest run was the opening mosey.

    Light jog over to the bus lane and back. Stretch-focused warm up to get the legs and back ready for the beatdown.

    The THING 1 – split in two teams, each team has one sandbag. Starting from a parking spot, person 1 carries the sandbag to the next parking spot and drops it, runs back. Person 2 runs to the bag, picks it up and bring it back to the start. Person 3 carries the sandbag one parking space further. Rinse and repeat until you get to the end of the parking lot. Sprinkle in 5 merkins each time you go

    The THING 2 – EMOM

    YHC cranked up the tunes and started the timer. 1 minute on the clock, plenty of time to pick up a cinder block and do 1 Goblet Squat, 1 Kettlebell Swing, 1 Monkey Humper, and run to the tree and back. Rest up, because the sauce gets saucier. Minute 2 – 2 reps of each. Minute 3 – 3 reps of each, and we keep going until we can’t.

    Around Minute 8, YHC noticed the Pax was very quiet. I looked at Rudy and saw his hat was off and the sweat was pouring. He mustered enough breath to say “It’s spicy now”. Muy caliente!

    Futon, our defending champion from the last EMOM, remains the king of the EMOM hill with an impressive 18x reps in a minute. The rest of us reset to 11x and jumped back in until we hit 25 minute mark.

    The THING 3 – Sandbaggin Tic Tac Toe

    An improvised Tic Tac Toe board was created in the parking lot and we split into two squads. Cinder Block vs Sandbags. Pick a person to start for each team. on GO, do 5 merkins & 1 Burpee (or 1 burpee into 5 merkins for efficiency) then grab your coupon and run to the tic tac toe board. first person there gets to pick their square and drop their coupon. Run back to the group and tag in the next person, they do 5 merkins/1 burpee, grab their coupon and head to the board. Get Tic Tac Toe to win, losing team does 5 burpees.

    Team Sandbaggin’ got off to a quick start, capturing the first two games. Hard to say if Team Cinder Block couldn’t visualize the board, or if they forgot how to play tic tac toe…Match 3 for all the marbles, winner takes all, went to team Cinder Block thanks to Hermey improvising the rules on the fly, tossing sandbags out of his way, and claiming victory for his team. Futon will review the CCTV Footage and rule if this was a legal maneuver or not. May have to run it back and settle this fair and square…

    COT – announcements and prayers. Safety with the storm today and prayers for DTH and his family on their journey. My legs are tired, I need to go find some Biofreeze. Until next time!

  • Bermuda Cabana?

    Two Bermuda Boys did a Twin Team Lounge inspired workout this morning. With YHC in peak marathon training, the pair decided a mild workout would be a good way to start our morning.

    No warmarama necessary, just a mosey lap around the parking lot.

    Various exercises followed by a mosey to the dumpsters and back that included, but wasn’t limited to
    Merkins
    Side lunges

    Pool Boy came up with a more traditional Bermuda Boys exercise handwalking the Carousel around for a lap with feet elevated on the handles

    Back to the parking lot for some more merkins, Cindy Presses, and Goblet Squats

    YHC was glad to have a mild workout, this morning, and even more grateful for Pool Boy’s company. We’re definitely looking forward to some warmer mornings in the Triangle.

    Prayer Requests
    YHC’S mom has been waiting to get back surgery scheduled for well over a year, and she finally got scheduled at the end of May. It’s pretty far off but I’m feeling pretty nervous about it. Hoping for a successful surgery and recovery.

  • Modified MABA Tabata

    3 HIM with coupons ready for an almost mosey free workout came together in the parking lot of the Bermuda Triangle for a Tabata workout with Thrusters instead of Burpees for MABA.

    YHC asked Tiger King yesterday if he was a hard commit for this morning’s workout and he stated his concern for slipping on ice. Turned out YHC was planning on very limited running after rolling his ankle on Sunday, so it all worked out.

    530 rolled in and we did our first 10 Thrusters, followed by a brief warmarama.
    SSH, Imperial Walkers, Don Quyotes, Helicopters, Nancy Kerrigan’s.

    The Thang

    10 Thrusters every 5 minutes  10 sets, 100 Thrusters(credit to DTH for the EMOM idea for MABA)

    4 sets of 20 Oblique Lifts (2 each side)
    20 Cindy Swings

    Ab Ring of Fire
    20 WW2s
    20 Pulse Ups
    20V Ups

    30 Curls

    Short mosey to the picnic pavilion and back.

    YHC gently set down his Cindy at the end of a set of Thrusters and it literally crumbled into 6 pieces, at this point we had to do triple checks, since we only had 2 cindies for the 3 of us.

    Triple Check 1

    Curls, Skull Crushers,  20 merkins,  only 1 round

    Ab Ring of Fire 2

    Penguins, APB, Oblique V Ups

    Triple Check 2

    Calf Raises normal stance x25, 2nd Round Pigeon toed, 3rd Round Duck footed
    Imperial Walkers
    Hold Plank

    End with COT

    YHC doesn’t have too much experience leading a workout without any running, but it wasn’t necessary to get the heart pumping!  Great push by the PAX!

    Frozen Triangle Super Bowl Saturday February 8th!

    Broadway took us out.

  • The Eye Of The Coupon Storm

    The Crossing Crew was back at it this evening……Icey parking lot and cold temperatures be damned. The following is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure.

    Mosey to the far end of the church for Warm-ups. Did a couple burpees in route and determined how many TryHard and others needed to complete their daily MABA.
    Don Quixotes, Bruce Lee Punches, Jazzercise, Side Kicks, Crab Cakes, Hello Dollies, Freddy Mercuries.

    Across the parking lot: Mario Jumps, Karaoke, Appalachian Lunge Walks, Open the Gates, Bernie Sanders, Mummy Kicks, No Cheat Broad Jumps.

    Final Thoughts:
    Strong work by all tonight! Slider braved the frigid temps in a sleeveless shirt in typical college student fashion. I was excited to try out these new Merkin Hand Grips that my son got for Christmas. Will definitely start using those more often. As always, it was a pleasure to lead.

  • Always Better Late Than Never

    I was starting to think I’d be a one man wolf PAX when 531 rolled around and there was no one to be seen. But thankfully at 532 the headlights of Broadway appeared at the Ecoff entrance and we were a 2 man wolf PAX. So we didn’t waste anytime and got started.


    Mosey lap around the parking lot, followed by a brief warmarama.
    SSH, Imperial Walkers, Don Quyotes.


    Mosey over to the pavilion for the Thang.
    COP 1

    Take turns alternating Double Cindy Farmer’s Carry to the tree and back, while the other performs ab exercises. Each would do 3 laps and the exercises were
    Oblique LBCs
    Heel Touchers
    Polesmokers


    COP 2
    Super Squats (Squat Super Set with 5-10 seconds rest  between each sub set)
    6, 12, 25
    6 Double Clutch Goblet Squats w Cindy
    12 Regular Goblet Squats
    25 Jump Squats
    3 Super Sets with about 3 minutes between each Super Set
    Finish with some stretching, then mosey back to the flag.

    This was a mix of old and and new, as I haven’t done the farmer’s carries in awhile, and the 6, 12, 25 workout has recently turned into a favorite of mine.


    I was definitely grateful Broadway didn’t end up fart sacking this morning. A late fellow PAX is always better than one that doesn’t make it. Especially when he was the only other PAX to post that morning.

Awesome group of guys this morning and grateful for these guys putting up with the YHC after a crappy week of pretty much no sleep!

    YHC took us out!!

    NMS:  Lovely band of gloom warriors this morning at TT for a warm WELCOME BACK to my buddy Pat Moore AKA Marky Mark from my church (WEAG) who recently moved into the neighborhood across the street from BWE. He had the painful experience of being partnered up with YHC this morning, which meant he didn’t have the same selective hearing as the rest of the pax. There’s a BIG difference in single count versus two-count when you’re doing DBC’s! There is very little that gets past Last Call and he was quick to speculate on the possibility of Christmas presents awaiting the PAX when he saw the Taco-mobile returning from behind the school before we got started. Well buddy, you may have groaned initially, but the way you took to that 50# KB I’ll be you’ve already put one on your Amazon wish list. Appreciate all you guys coming out to make it perfect numbers! Yours AYE! ~DTH
