Tag: Raider Run

7 men showed up for YHC’s first Q in a while. In a warm for January morning, this is what we did.

COP, 15 each (for the 15 wins LSU achieved this season)

SSH, LBC’s, merkins, DQ, windmills, Imperial walkers, mosey to middle of soccer field, partner up. Meet your partner in the middle of the field, do 30 reps of the exercise with partner, bear crawl to the goal post, 30 reps OYO, run back to middle, repeat with a different exercise, 7 rounds in total. Exercises were LBC’s, squats, merkins, monkey humpers, jump squats, shoulder taps and American Hammers. 7 is the number of Top 25 teams (in the final poll) that LSU defeated this season, 60 (30 time 2) is the number of TD passes thrown by Joe Burreax this season, including 13 in the playoffs.

Mosey to play ground area for 11’s: dips and merkins with your feet in a swing. Burreaux averaged 11 yards per completion this year while completing 76% of his passes. Head back to flag for 5 minutes of Mary, total of 67 reps of exercises including burpees, diamond merkins and WW2 situps. Numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

YHC was extremely fortunate to fly down to Baton Rouge to watch the national championship game with his family, celebrating each TD and great play with other (real) Tiger fans, whose team plays in the REAL Death Valley. We have a live Bengal tiger for a mascot, they have a guy in an orange suit which looks like a reject from a Frosted Flakes commercial circa 1985. It was a great time, and YHC thought it would be appropriate to recognize some of the many records broken this season by his beloved LSU Tigers. YHC also decided to Q today and tomorrow as lately YHC’s attendance at F3 has been spotty at best, but YHC will show up when No Idea is on the Q sheet. Mumblechatter today seemed to keep returning to what it was like to grow up and be educated in Louisiana, with many references to Water Boy, some of which are not that far off, but no, YHC’s mother is not a Swamp Witch. Great job today fellas, it was a blast to lead. See you in the gloom tomorrow!

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing….

COP

Mr Holland passed to Trout.

Moseyed to the Chamber and did 20 bench dips, 20 2ct mountain Climbers and 20 windshield washer reps, we ran to the rental car and back in about 2 minutes. Trout thought this was too slow so we repeated the 20 BD, 20 MC’s and 20 WWipers and ran to the rental car and back in 1:30 seconds. To be sure we had this down we repeated a third time then moseyed to the parking lot for the COT.

Really enjoyed working out with Trout and Mudface today. The concern whenever YHC Qs is the amount of running that will be involved. Today, we likely went far less than a mile. Trout was struggling towards the end of the workout. He believes it might be a result of holiday meals. Today is my last day of being 46. 47 here I come.

It was an honor to lead this great group of men today.

Gotta Run!

It is no secret that YHC does not like to run, so when the Merkin challenge come around he embraces it completely. If you come to a workout where he is the Q in the month of November, then Merkins are a given.

This morning was one of those strangely cold and dark sunny and 70 mornings, so it was determined that it would be themed on animals that live in the cold.

Strong work was put in by all and Merkin count this morning was between 300 and 350.

It was an honor to lead.

YHC was supposed to Q The Anvil 2 weeks ago, but his M’s sickness had him begging out at the last minute. So, as YHC already had a workout prepared baseball watching was possible. Great to see the Nats win (sorry Glide) their first title. The PAX was awesome today, and Emoji brought the Halloween theme with a red light headlamp that lit his legs up while doing LBC’s like ET’s finger, as noted by Mudface. The SSH during Dora were challenging as the PAX ended up about 20 feet back of where they started due to a slight decline.

Merkin Challenge sheet is up for November, here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-L8e9W24ygnU0suaGyKxzi1PgPqY1CBd57hLrKTZI-g/edit?fbclid=IwAR1tl11gTibRBc38OGvP7sdmN2kTOpleTQifi8oElayQWFrbxb0LBI_VTYQ&pli=1#gid=2105645288
