Tag: Satan’s Hill

New Market

  • Yeti’s Hill

    With Satan’s Hill iced over and none of the PAX owning ice skates as a form of cardio, YHC wisely chose against running and leaned into a coupon heavy, upper body smoke fest at “Yeti’s Hill.” The goal was simple – perform exercises while maintaining form and staying upright. Song requests were accepted the evening before for what Spotify may classify as the weirdest compilation of songs (see below). The JBL party box lit up and blasted our first song and the workout went like this:

    Warm Up: Various IC exercises to get the blood flowing

    COP 1: Partner up with a sandbag per pair. P1 performs exercise while P2 stays warm performing their choice of Mountain Climbers, SSH, Monkey Humpers, Firecrackers or Plank Jacks. Partners were allowed to switch off exercises in whatever quantity they wanted, but both partners had to complete all reps. Exercises were: 100 Overhead press, 90 Curls, 80 Skull crushers, 70 Chest Press, 60 Upright rows, 50 Anterior raises w/ palms up, 40 Dips, 30 Merkins on the bag, 20 Bag pull thrus, 10 Bagees.

    COP 2: 2 minutes left to hit abs with 10 Box Cutters, 20 DC Flutter Kicks and 30 LBCs

  • Santa’s Sled

    11 strong came out to end the week right at SH. After some brief mumble chatter about Taziki’s early arrival the PAX was ready to let it fly (or drag?).

    Quick mosey down the hill and back to the lot.  COP- 20 each SSH, LBC; Willy Mays Hayes, 10 Each, Jim Duggan’s,  Jazzercise, Helicopters, Imperials Walkers, , Copper head squat, Cherry pickers, Merkins, Dollies, Flutters. 

    5 groups. Each group take turns dragging sled down lot, Switch partners, then back. Started with 1 Coupon on board and progressed to 4, so 4 rounds. Remaining groups were left to perform called exercises: Merkins, Drydocks, Coupon curls, LBC, WWII, flutters, Box cutters, etc.

    There was some crying(Futon) about YHC not building the sled to fit 4 coupons. Sled worked fine for me.

    Had time for some LOVE HILL. If you know, you know.

    BTTF just in time.

    Prayers to those with long travels and to those needing healing hands. YHC took us out in prayer.

  • Post Thanksgiving Corn Hole

    A smaller than usual PAX of only 3 came out this morning to burn off the turkey, sides and bourbon that was consumed yesterday. Apparently, the tryptophan and bourbon got the best of our guys! The gloom greeted us with perfect conditions for a little twist on cornhole. According to the black Friday shoppers speeding down the hill, this is how it went down:

    Warm Up Mosey and various IC exercises

    The Main Event: Corn hole board set up with each PAX member getting 4 bags to toss. Flip over poker chip with exercises written on them. Quantity starts at 50 – for each bag on the board we subtract 5, for each bag in the hole we subtract 10, for missing all bags we either run to the top of the hill OR perform 10 HRM Burpees (Throwers Choice). Each PAX member got to toss 4 times with the big penalty of running/burpees occurring 3 times, before the rules changed. 5th time around the penalty changed from not hitting the board at all to not getting a bag in the hole in which the penalty occurred 2 times. Last round each PAX flipped 1 poker chip and got 1 toss at the board. Hit it in the hole and we take away the exercise, otherwise we performed quantity of 10. Our arms were clearly getting tired from all of the reps, and we ended with having to perform all 3 exercises. Exercises consisted of Curls, Skull Crushers, OH Thrusters, APD with OH Lifts, Incline Merkins, Decline Merkins, Squats, Lateral Lunges, Squat Thrusters, Bus Drivers, Plank Pull Thrus with Spidermans, WW3s, Dips and I am sure a few more I can’t remember.

    Time Called, Numbers, Names, Announcements (Daddy/Daughter Dance 12/6), Prayers (Wildcat and his battle, YHC’s daughter’s friend who had surgery for 3rd broken arm on Wednesday, Da Bear for quick healing from injury during frisbee yesterday)

    Thanks for showing up fellas. With a “I will plan on it” from Wilson, I tried to keep the running at a minimum in the planning. Thought about leaving the board, bags and poker chips in his driveway and texting him to let me know when finally woke up and got his ass up to complete the workout so I could come back and grab the items. Pleasure leading you fellas today and hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving!
