  • Off Campus trip? We’ll keep it short.

    Five men from the north posted on this perfect, dark, misty morning for a hot potato beatdown that went a little something like this.

    Mr. Holland’s Q

    COP – SSH, Don Quixotes, Invisible Jump Ropes, Merkins

    Phonics’s Q – Taking us off campus

    Mosey to the Giles clubhouse playground.

    The five PAX members would rotate 3 times through the following exercises with the runner doing a lap around the parking lot being the timer: Pull-ups, merkins, jerkins, squats, run a lap.

    Helix’s Q – Head us back to campus

    Brocode Elevens – Burpees/LBCs – Do an exercise (10 burpees), then run to Helix’s target. Plank until all are in. Then do an exercise (1 LBC) and run to the target and plank until all are in. Completing elevens tooks the PAX back to Atlee High School

    Corned Beef’s Q – Stay on campus

    Rotate between 5 exercises/running 3 times. One Pax does dips, one does step-ups, the other 3 are running a lap as the timers. One runner peals off and does dips while the step-up PAX member runs with the other 2. In the end, each PAX member should have done 3 sets of dips, 3 sets of step-ups, and 9 laps of running.

    COT – Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, YHC took us out.

    Great workout this morning. All PAX members were surprised how much was accomplished this morning as well as the territory we covered. Well done to Corned Beef and Helix in modifying established exercises.

    Excellent mumblechatter today between the bootcamp and coffee afterwards. The topics YHC can remember were about NFL broadcast channels, College Football playoffs, the Premier League, bullet trains coming to the USA, self-driving cars, the Fall Line Trail, Penn State tight ends, and bucket list European vacations that affordability could be a problem.

    Announcements – Wednesday, January 1 convergence – 7 AM at WDOG.

  • Fuzzy Memory

    The moon was full. Unfortunately with a late start to drafting this backblast, YHC’s memory of other details for the Dapile workout are a bit fuzzy. YHC thinks this is what we did.

    Opus took the Q first, and Phonics and YHC followed him to the side of the high school near the bus loop for some COP. Exercises were something like:

    • Helicopters
    • Invisible jump rope
    • Don Quixote
    • Merkins
    • Copperhead squats
    • Imperial walkers
    • Hello Dollys
    • Rosalitas
    • Heels to Heaven

    Next came a triple-check. Timer ran to a tree in the middle of the bus loop while one man did Merkins and the other did Bulgarian split squats against the wall.

    Phonics took the reins, and we headed to the basketball courts. Revolution was a suicide followed by 25 Merkins. Another suicide and 20 Merkins. Finally a third suicide and 15 Merkins.

    For the next 10 minutes we did repeated sets of 5 pull-ups (modified to jerkins as necessary), 10 Merkins, and 15 squats. With 3 minutes to go Spit and Draw Four joined the Pax.

    The Q was handed to YHC who kept us at the basketball courts for a mini Lucky Horseshoe. That went something like: Run around the perimeter and then do 10 lunges. Repeat the run, and do 10 lunges plus 10 Merkins. Repeat the run, and add on squats. Repeat the run and subtract the lunges, then subtract the Merkins, and end with a victory lap after the last set of squats.

    We then moseyed back to the flag in various ways (side shuffle, Bernie Sanders, hop on one leg, bear crawl).

    At the flag YHC took us through 10 minutes of various stretches.

    Numberama, name-o-rama, announcements (YHC doesn’t recall that there were any), and Opus took us out.

    YHC apologizes for the late back blast. The poor quality of this back blast in no way reflects the quality of the workout. Dapile workouts always rock, and YHC is grateful he got to be a part.

    There was a mix of boot campers, runners and walkers at Dapile. Spit started first at 6:00am with a run. Boot campers started at 6:30 and hot potato’d the Q. YHC came in hot and joined Spit for a walk around DaVille campus. Spit took off at 7:00 to attend family activities. YHC joined the bootcampers for some 4 corners led by Mr Holland. Mosey/walk back to flag for some stretching and COT. Opus took us out. Good F2 at the Local Cup.
