Warm-Up 530 on the dot. Looked around with pride at a group of 16 HIMs who fought the urge to fartsack and week 1 football temptations. Quick mosey. Circle up for the “social media algorithm” routine (worth a try): Hop in place Body waves Arm swings Trunk twists (golf swings) Dead-arm swings March in place Stretch what you need for 30 seconds. The Thang Mailbox Burpees – Line up along Graythorne. One burpee for each mailbox on the right. Plank-o for the six. (Plenty of mailboxes!) DORA at Alvecote Terrace (modern home cul-de-sac) – All ab work: 100 LBCs 200…

TWENTY THREE grown-boys came out to The Almo this morning to run around and get their weeks started off right! YHC had 3 fantasy football drafts over the weekend and locked in on a few players that will either make or tank the season. QTY’s were based on “my Guys” for this season so here’s what went down. WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the nearest cul de sac and back. Gave the mission, stretched out and got into it. COP #1: Drake London #5 Ran through 5 cul de sacs and did (5) burpees at each one. COP #2: Emeka Egbuka…
The humidity was back this morning but 13 HIMS didn’t mind. A short mosey with some karaoke prior to a circle up with the F3 mission. Warm up included the regulars with some light stretching. COP 1: Wilt Chamberlain: 50 LBCs, mosey 100 yards, 50 squats, mosey back to start, 50 flutter kicks dc, mosey 100 yards, and then 50 lunges (25 per leg) COP 2: 11s up the hill: mountain climbers and WW2 COP 3: Charles Bronson: 3 cones; 1 and 2 about 100 yards apart, then cone 3 about 20 yards. Perform 25 reps of an exercise at…
Still feeling the sting from the 25–4 loss on July 22 in ultimate, we opened with 100 Side Straddle Hops—25 for every point allowed, descending in height until the silent count, where the Q misfired and dropped arms early. The penalty: 10 burpees for all. From there, we pushed through a soaked U-shaped grinder of merkins, jump squats, and monkey humpers, followed by a brutal fence-line rotation on the tennis courts—core, legs, lungs all tested while one ran. A hill-triple-check brought the grind home, capped by a plank hold with each man choosing his own flavor of merkin. Warmarama: Don…
It was a hot and humid morning but 16 HIMS were up for the challenge. I had this workout planned for several weeks and then Crabgrass decides last week to do it but I like the pain so why not do it again? Mosey across the way and circled up for some warm up exercises including SSH, Jazzercise (after being complimented by Nancy last week for good form), cherry pickers, LBCs, and merkins. Thing 1: partnered up for 100 reps of squats and merkins alternating exercises after 10 reps, then a run to the next intersection. This was repeated again…
YHC has a little nasty hill he likes, but I save it for special occasions (i.e. Nightmare Before Christmas) and today was a good day to revisit…not too hot, not too cold. Futon pointed out that the clouds were parted with a little bit of sunshine coming through above the hill, it was destiny today. Quick mosey through the bunker, up the stairs (watch out for mud) and we did a series of butt kickers > high knees > karaoke rotating at each mailbox. Quick stretch sess and we hit firecracker alley 1>2>3>4>5>4>3>2>1 at mailboxes. oh hey looks, there’s a…
19 Spartans converged on the Alamo this humid morning to start their week off right. 6 gents were bamboozled into schlepping sandbags from Crabbs house to the flag, extra credit boys!! Thank you to Rudy for giving up the Q so YHC could lead his 300th post. Lets go!! 5:30, not a second late, the PAX went for a mosey down through the tunnel and back to the flag. Mission statement, 5 core principles. SSH, Don Quixotes, Cherry pickers, LBCs, scorpion kicks. First battle: 6 exercises, 2 rounds 25 reps = 300. Merkins, jump squats, WW2s, heals to heaven, Crab…
