Attila

4 Gloom Warriors met in the dark parking lot of The Deep, awaiting whatever it was that was about to confront them. Attila and YHC warmed up with some running, while Gomer and Roger Roger came in on 2 wheels each. Welcome and disclaimer. COP: SSHs, arm circles, DMH, DQs, WWIIs, Mt. Climbers & Merkins. Recover.

Mosey to The Hill for 11s. Jump Squats and Heels to Heaven.

Mosey to the bus loop. Bear Crawl to the next lamp post. Pax picks an ab exercise. 20 were done. Lunge to the next lamp post. More abs. Bear crawl. Abs. Lunges. Abs (we did all sorts: side crunches, crunchy frogs, FMs, flutters, crotch grabbers, LBCs, V-Ups, etc.). We modified when the rain started, but continued the same concept under the bus loop awning.

Gomer regaled us with a tale. The point: You can do a helluva a lot more than you think you can. Get your mind right.

Next up: A Lindsay – SSHs & Reverse Crunches.

Next: Shoulder Taps – until the Q says stop.

60 seconds left: 60 second leg hold…hold it….hoooollld it…aaaaaand time.

Well done men!

BTTF for names and numbers.

Announcements: None ATM.

Prayer Requests: Prayers for Roger Roger’s family, his father in law, and his buddy’s and their families from United, some of which are overseas and some of which recently lost their lives.

I’m grateful for these men for showing up today, even with Wind-Mageddon looming. SYITG fellas!

Five went Deep this morning and had some difficulty coming up with exercises by letter. Before we got there, we did some warmups in the school parking lot, moseyed into Green Gate with ten merkins at each of the first five lights and then went to another parking lot for 11’s of WW2s and Dips. Then we moseyed closer to Broad Street to stop at Seymore’s favorite store, Milan Laser Hair Removal.

Each Pax was challenged to pick an exercise that spelled Milan. We started with Merkins, Imperial Walkers, Lunges, APDs and then we got stuck on “N” and did a 5 burpee penalty. Seymore started to show signs of either creativity, laziness or needing hair removal with attempting to create Nevada Prom Dates. It was rejected.

We then went next door to Attila’s favorite, Blue Cow Ice Cream. The challenge this time was Blue Cow. We started with Burpees, LBCs, Ukrainian Soldiers and then Seymore said Energetic Deadman’s Hang, which I vetoed, and we did Elevated Merkins instead. Followed that with Copperhead squats and then did Outlaws and Wide Grip Merkins. We moseyed to the main drag and on the way back took the Wong’s Tacos challenge. The main challenge is me remembering what we did.

The pax came up with Wide grip merkins (repeats allowed), an “O” I can’t remember, Nine merkins, some sort of G exercise, SSH or Squats, we got stuck at “T” and had penalty burpees, Alphabet Flutters (spell the alphabet with your feet), Crunchy Frogs, Overhead Press & Side Lunges. I wish I could remember more but at least Seymore has “Smooth skin for life, guaranteed”

We then went back to the flag did a little Mary and ended on time.

Reminder: Lunch Tuesday at Joeys.

Today at the Deep, Chicharon led the way. We did 4 corners and repeated each one. The Burpees added up. At the last corner 1 more was added to 40 to celebrate Chicharon turning 41.

SPAM alert.  A holy trinity of white respect converged on the The Deep.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • SSH
  • IW
  • Ukrainian soldiers
  • Helicopters
  • Arm circles
  • DMH
  • Merkins
  • LBC
  • Penguins
  • APD
• 4 corners
  • 10 Mike Tysons
  • 20 CDD
  • 30 monkey humpers
  • 40 LBC
  • Then retrace our steps for 2 sets total
• Mosey to the back of the school for a Lindsey, increments of 5 – Dips and Step-Ups
• Mosey to the front of the school for a 3x PAX check with run, pole smokers & squats
• Mosey down the bus loop stopping to do 10 Chuck Norris’ at each light
• Mary
  • WWII sit-ups
  • Side crunches, each side
  • FK
  • FM
  • 60 seconds of LBC
• COT with YHC taking us out

SPAM – stale, pale and male.  This is the type of discrimination certain middle age men can look forward to.  But for now, let’s celebrate USA hockey!

Prayers up for those sick, in the job market or starting new jobs.  God is good all of the time!

Attila

5 posted for a President’s Day themed workout this morning. Warm up and then Presidential trivia workout. If you’re reading this, see if you can guess the significance of the numbers. Correct answers at the bottom of the post 😉

1 Burpee, 2 Carolina Dry Docs , 5 Squats, 10 Merkins, 20 WWIIs, 50 single count American Hammers, and 100 Calf Raises.

Around the circle to stop at 8 lights for 8 cumulative exercises for an 8 count of: Burpees, Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Jump Squats and Don Q’s.

As we guessed the significance of 8, we did a few punitive Burpees until we got to 47.

To the colannade and the polls and an Indian Run of: 8 Pole Smokers, 8 Boxing Cockroaches, 8 Mike Tysons, 8 Air Press, 8 Muhammad Ali’s, 8 Head-Should-Knees and Toes…repeat until we ran out of poles.

Mosey back for some stretching, counting and more trivia.

Answers to trivia below:

47 Burpees: (US 47th President)

1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100: US Bills with Presidents (1: Washington, 2 Jefferson, 5 Lincoln, 20 Jackson, 50 Grant) and Founding Fathers (10 Hamilton, and 100 Franklin).

8 Burpees: 8 Presidents from Virginia (Washington, Jefferson, Maddison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Wilson).

No Super Bowl hangover for this six pack.  Here is how it went down:

  • SSH
  • IW
  • Ukrainian soldiers
  • Helicopters
  • Arm circles
  • DMH
  • Merkins
  • LBC
  • Penguins
  • APD
• Mosey up to the VA Women’s Center parking lot for a Dora
  • 100 HRM

  • 20 PLT (60 total)
  • 10 Mike Tysons (30 total)
• Mosey back to the flag for some Mary
  • WWII sit-ups
  • Side crunches – each side

Speaking of taking us out, Gomer almost took Pigskin out doing PLTs.  Forcefully.  Solid work from the PAX, and hopefully this is the last of the frigid cold.  Not as bad as Saturday, but still sucks.

Announcements – lunch at Firehouse Subs tomorrow and Frozen Triangle is rescheduled for 2/21.

Continued prayers for those looking for jobs and dealing with sickness/injury.  God is good all of the time!

Attila

Five pax came to either sled or workout. After some changing of shoes, the workout started. We went to the lady pavilion for some warmups and then moseyed to the poles and door #13. We did a routine of 13 pole smokers, then moseyed to door #14 for 14 merkins, then to the lady pavilion for 15 dips (yes, Attila, there are benches there) and to the last door on the cleared sidewalk for 16 two count balls to wall toe taps. We then went back and did 15, 14 and finished at 13. Then we did it again.

We then hit the bus loop and the nine light shuffle with 15 jump squats and 30 single count mountain climbers at each light.

Then we did another round of 13/14/15/16/15/14/13.

Finished with ten minutes of Mary which included reverse crunches, dollies, rosalitas, flutters, HRM, shoulder taps, 5 burpees and some stretching.

Sledding sounds like fun but my scout determined that would not be a good idea. But Tater did look cool in snow pants.

Six warriors made it out to the Deep for some pole work. They were looked at, touched and counted. Want to learn more?<

We started with a well protected warmup of squats, DQ, Ukrainian Soldiers, Arm Circles, Helicopters, Flutters, Freddie’s and Merkins. We then moseyed to the bus loop for a Nine-Pole Shuffle.

Run the circle and at each of the nine lights do 20 squats and 10 merkins. Run another lap to count the lights. Do another shuffle the other direction with 30 LBCs and 15 2-count hammers at each light. For you English majors, that is 180 squats, 90 merkins, 270 LBCs and 135 2-count hammers.

Organize for a triple check of poll smokers, jump squats and run to the second light for the timer, 2nd round run to the third light and then for the final round, run a lap.

Do it again with a different group and sticking with the second light for the timer for all 3 rounds. Exercises are merkins and HRM.

Mosey back to the cones for a dead man hang, some cherry pickers and shoulder taps.

The Deep was pretty this morning but I was a nice Q and kept us dry. Attila broke his 22 week streak. Flo is now in charge with 6. Fitting that someone named at the Deep has the streak.

The Bridge is this weekend with Pigskin. Please join him!

Frozen Triangle is the 7th. If it rains, Upchuck will hold an umbrella for you.

Have a great week everyone!

COP: SSHs, arms circles, hip rotations (need a better name for these), DQs, DMH, 3 Burpees for the 3 points the Bills beat the Jags by, Mt Climbers, WWIIs, Merkins and 3 Burpees for the 3 points that the Bolts scores against a stout Pats D. Recover.  Let’s mosey.

Thx for letting me lead fellas! Let’s do it again soon. Now get out there and do something good for someone else today. SYITG!
