Tag: Punisher

Amid winter’s last snowfall, Sonny and YHC left our houses and moseyed to the LHES parking lot.  A couple of the evening Punisher regulars indicated prior conflicts, but we waited until just after the post time (in the event an F3 brother undone b before continuing our jog off campus and into Bryan Park.

We mostly stuck to our mosey, stopping briefly for a little Don Quixote and Imperial Walker break at the southwest end of the azalea gardens, Incline Merkins at the posts outlining the triangle at the northwest edge of the azalea gardens, squats at trash cans along the route, and a couple of hill repeats.  We finished back at our houses with our COT and YHC took us out.

Three posted for the last Punisher before the start of Daylight Saving Time next week.  Moseyed to the grass and started with Invisible Jump Ropes x 15, Imperial Walkers x 15, Russian Soldiers x 15, Don Quixotes x 15, and Arm Circles x 10 (big only and both ways) – with LBCs x 25 after each of the others.

Jogged around the back of LHES for some running warmups on the blacktop.  Running from the south end of the black top to the approximate location of Canada on the U.S. Map, completed High Knees, Butt Kickers, Side Hops, and Back Pedals both ways.  Finished with a 50% sprint to Canada and back and then a 75% sprint off the other end of the blacktop.

Moved to the soccer field for a double ladder involving Merkins and Squats.  Started with 21 Merkins on one side of one soccer goal and completed a Lunge Walk around to the other side of the goal for 21 Squats.  Jogged to the other end of the field for 20 of each.  We continued, including the full field jog, until about 16 reps of each remained, then audibled, in the interest of time, to stay at one end and complete the double ladder.

With a couple of minutes to spare, moseyed back around the school for one more set of LBCs and a couple of minutes of Chum Yoga.  Finished with a COT and YHC took us out.

Welcome back Nightcrawler.  Sonny has a nice streak going.  For those of you not ready to “spring forward” next Monday morning, come on out to the Punisher.  We guarantee daylight next Monday evening.

Chum is fum.

Three regulars (now) posted for the most recent Punisher.  After a fist bump or two in the parking lot, we moved to the schoolyard for the initial COP with SSHs x 20, Russian Soldiers x 15, DQs x 15, IWs x 15, and Arm Circles x 15 (big only, forward then reverse).

Mosey to the blacktop around the back of the school for 4 Corners – starting with one exercise in the first corner and adding one at each corner.  Exercises were Invisible Jumpropes x 10, Merkins x 20, Squats x 30, and LBCs x 40.  Moved to the playground for 5s – starting with 4 Pullups and 1 Burpee and continuing until finished with 1 Pullup and 4 Burpees.

Jog to the outdoor pavilion for 11s – starting with 10 Incline Merkins and 1 Flutter Kick (two count) and continuing until finished with 1 Incline Merkin and 10 Flutter Kicks.  Saunter to the school wall for Triple Check including People’s Chair, Plank, and jog to Hermitage Road and back.  Finish with a couple of minutes of Mary near the bike rack at the front of the school.  Couple of minutes of stretching, COT, and YHC took us out.

Nice work fellas.

Three PAX posted for last week’s Punisher.  Sonny and YHC arrived on foot and met Change Order in the corner of the parking lot.  After a COP next to the parking lot involving the the usual, we moved off campus – moseying around grassy median strips south of Laburnum and off of Hermitage, and stopping at the turn in each oval for Merkins and Squats.  We moved from Hermitage east along Confederate to Gloucester and then back to Hermitage.  We did the same circuit along Wilmington, but headed back to Holton along Chatham mixing in some Back Pedaling and Karaoke.  We finished with a Mary medley then a COT and YHC took us out.

A pair posted for The Punisher.  YHC and Sonny left our neighboring houses separately and arrived at Holton Elementary with a couple of minutes to spare before the 6:30 PM start time.  Sadly YHC drove to the AO for whatever reason (gloves were in the truck, etc) while Sonny got in a pre-game mosey.

We left the parking lot for the soggy schoolyard for SSHs, Russian Soldiers, IWs, DQs, and Arm Circles.  We moved to the southeast corner of the school property for a Four Corners variation – 10 Merkins followed by a mosey to the next (northeast) corner for 10 more Merkins.  Continue around the school property counterclockwise doing the same with a finish back at the start corner also with 10 Merkins.  Relocate to the school wall for a Double Check – one holds People’s Chair while the other jobs to the Laburnum Avenue sidewalk and back.  Repeat.  Then another round holding Plank.  Then a final round with People’s Chair again.

Head around the back of the school for an Elevens round with Dips and Squats – starting with 10 Dips and 1 Squat and working through the sequence until the inverse is completed.  Return to the front of the school for extended Mary with LBCs, Hello Dollys, Rosalitas, Freddy Mercuries, Flutter Kicks, and APDs – various rounds of various reps.  Stretch for a couple of minutes.  COT and YHC took us out.

YHC and Nightcrawler posted for the first February Punisher.  We left the parking lot for the gym-side school yard for the COP, completing some of the usual with SSHs, Russian Soldiers, DQs, IWs, and Arm Circles.

We headed around the school to the end of the bus loop for several Tabata/EMOM-style rounds.  For the first round, we completed 25 x LBC varieties, including the usual, right leg straight, left leg straight, right leg crossover, left leg crossover, both legs straight, reverse crunch, and usual again.  For the second round, we completed 15 x each of Merkins and Slow Squats.  For the third round, we repeated the LBC sequence again.  We jogged a lap around the bus loop after each round.

We moseyed back around the school for a few minutes of People’s Chair and Planking followed by some stretching.  Fast COT and YHC took us out.

A PAX of three assembled on Monday night for The Punisher.  We said hello to one another in the parking lot and sauntered to the edge of the lot for the initial COP with Jump Ropes, IWs, DQs, Russian Soldiers, and Arm Circles.  We splashed through several puddles around the back of LHES to the pavilion for the Attila sequence with Dips x 20, Step Ups x 20 per leg, Dips, Step Ups, and one more round of Dips.

We moved off campus moseying north on Hermitage Road completing 20 Squats at Clarement Avenue and 20 Merkins at Nottoway Avenue.  Tag the stoplight at Bellevue and, on the way back, stop at every lightpole alternating 5 Squats and 5 Merkins.

Return to LHES for 11s with Incline Merkins and Box Cutters at the pavilion.  Mosey back around the front of the school to the covered porch for 100 x LBCs, 50 x APDs, and 100 more LBCs.  Finish with a little stretching.  COT and YHC took us out.

Pleasant temperatures and breeze from the west made posting easier for three of us at this week’s Punisher.  Change Order opted out although YHC briefly entertained an offsite mosey to the Hermitage Road renovation he is overseeing.  Sonny finished run prior to the workout and arrived at the site just before the start.

We stuck to the school site and went at it like so:  COP with SSHs, Hillbillies, IWs, DQs, LBCs, APDs, and Arm Circles.

Mosey to the blacktop behind the school for 4 corners with 10 x 2 Count Mountain Climbers, 20 x Carolina Dry Docks, 30 x APDs, and 40 x LBCs.  Complete 2 more rounds, increasing reps by 5 each round.  Relocate to the adjacent playground for 5 x Pullups with Bear Crawl breaks x 3 sets.

Slide to the soccer field for 11s – start with 10 x Squats and 1 x Hello Dolly.  Hop up and jog to the midpoint of the soccer field for 9 and 2 and continue back and forth until 1 and 10 are completed.  Jog to the bus loop for a short plank walk sequence.  Stagger over to the city sidewalk for Mary – start on one sidewalk square and complete 10 x LBCs.  Hop up and hit the next available sidewalk square for 10 x 2 Count Freddy Mercuries.  Hop up again and hit the next square for 10 x Box Cutters.  Repeat sequence several times.

Return to the front school yard with a couple of minutes to spare for short stretching sequence.  Numberama, namerama, and YHC took us out.

Nice work guys.

A PAX four strong posted for last week’s Punisher.  We assembled in the Linwood Holton Elementary School parking lot and headed to the grass for the initial COP with SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, and Arm Circles.

We moved a short distance to the school wall for a Quadruple Check – yes, like the other, but with 4 of things instead of 3 – People’s Chair, Plank, 6 Inches, and a mosey to Laburnum and back.  We headed around the back of the property to the playground and completed alternating exercises at the benches circling the playground area.  On the first pass, we alternated Incline Merkins and Seated Knee Raises, with a mosey for half the perimeter and a lunge for the other half.  On the second pass, we alternated Decline Merkins and Step Ups.  We moseyed to the outdoor classroom for a Lindsay with Dips and 2 Count Freddy Mercuries.  With a couple of minutes to spare we held a Plank and completed some light Chum Yoga.  We returned to the parking lot and YHC took us out.

Apologies for not posting sooner.  See you in the gloom.

Two posted for the after-snow, rainy Punisher last week.  YHC met Nightcrawler in the Holton parking lot and we did a short mosey to the Laburnum-facing school yard for a COP with Invisible Jump Ropes, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, Russian Soldiers, and Arm Circles.

We moved to the covered porch outside the school gym for LBCs x 200 and APDs x 100.  We then began a jog through the Laburnum Park neighborhood stopping near the beginning and end of the grassy median strips along our route for 15 x various chest/arm exercises (including Merkins, Wide Grip Merkins, and Carolina Dry Docks) and/or 15 x various leg exercises (including Squats and Forward Lunges).  We completed a loop east down Laburnum, right on Gloucester, right on Palmyra, and right on Hermitage Road back to LHES.  We finished with another round of LBCs and APDs followed by a little stretching.

Quick C(?)OT and YHC took us out.
