Or a birthday boy misses his birthday beat down does he still hear us signing? Or was that signing coming from the Pax? Makes you ponder for sure. Quick Draw did give himself an out that if he had to investigate a murder he may not be able to make it. As the only NOLA F3 Pax member that is also in law enforcement he earns my respect post or no post. Nonetheless our workout kept the running (my favorite way to kill the chatter and burn time) to a minimum in his regard. The NOLA.com reporter did make a second appearance only to find me as Q again which could be good or bad. I really hope she stayed for the Moguls as I’d love to see that footage.
Disclaimer and nod to the FNG and away we go, real far away like across the street to great lawn. (Perhaps one day the Mothership flag could be moved to the great lawn? I know I’m from uptown but still, that patch of rubble where we currently post up is pretty lame.)
Warm-up:
- SSH X 30
- IW X 30
- Seal Jack X 30
- Peter Parker X 20 => Plank Jack X 20 => Mountain Climber X 20
Corner BLiMPS:
This took some explaining but the Pax nailed it despite my ill-fated attempt at Burpees in cadence. I couldn’t get Rudy and Bogey to quit the chatter so I got desperate. Oh well.
Burpees x 10 in center, then spilt into 4 groups and head to the respective corner for one excercise per corner.
Lunges x 20
Merkins x 20
Parker Peter x 20
Squats x 20
Now for the real fun! With Park City on the horizon I needed a little extra leg work and the Pax was happy to oblige. After an excellent demonstration by Roots and the QIC some Pax remained befuddled but alas we lined up in one very long line in plank position with alternating directions of heads and feet. The first man began with jumping over the legs of the entire Pax which required a motion similar to skiing moguls. Some Pax choose the bunny slope but there is no shame in modifying. Once at the end of the line plank and become the line. Well done.
Mosey (POW and backwards) to the NOMA fountain for a Ferrari car show and more beat down. At one point I swear Cameron almost drove his dad’s Ferrari of the top deck of a semi. Over the roaring of the engines at the fountain:
- RL step up X 20
- LL step up X 20
- Dips X 20
- Box Jumps X 20 (IC, yes it can be done)
Amble over to the steps for:
- Rocky Balboas X 30 (IC)
- Decline merkin X 10 => Shoulder Taps X 20 => Decline merkin X 10
Slow mosey to the side of the front drive for a version of Route 66. A little cops and robbers was what I came up with for Quick Draw. It went something like this:
Partner 1 Mosey to first light and Burpee until tagged by Parnter 2 and then LBC x 20, then tag partner at next light
Partner 2 LBC x 20, tag partner, continue to next light and burpee until tagged. Somehow this worked enough that we had time to reverse it the other way once out of lights.
Cirlce of Mary:
- Dying Cockroach X 20
- V Ups X 10
- Supermans at varying length
- Putins X 20
Mosey back to the flag with some POW run and backwards job all while dodging cars.
2 minutes to spare so minor plank work back at the flag.
Count off, nameorama. Welcome to Thumper our FNG with 6 children and only one wife! Ball of Man with thanks and praise to God. Thanks for the chance to lead!
