  • Adventures of Butt Splice!

    In the Gloom is when the pax meet for some pre thang foreplay just to heat things up!! Heavy winds from out the west and choppy waters set the tone for what would be a shirt soaking affair. A 2 mile treck down the Mandeville lakefront will surely get your morning started!! Rainbow Unicorn sets the pace leading with his Alicorn only to get passed in the end by shooter who smack talks his way past the young buck.On return to the shovel flag we find a cooler, heavily tagged in F3 logos, (t-claps captain sparkles… @waterboy would have thanked you) with the gas to fuel a man who is about to embark on an adventure with  the YHC.

    Pax of 11 circles up for the…

    Warmarama:

    SSH IC X20

    IW IC X20

    WM IC X10

    TT IC X20

    BK IC X20

    KH IC X20

    The Thang:

    Mosey to Marigny Ave. and head north for 1 block.

    at this point the pax is already soaking wet! YHC smiles to himself using it to gauge his beatdown abilities!!

    A short interlude in reference to life relations leads to a block long lunge walk!! And these blocks are seemingly extra long!! This is followed by a mosey for 1 block.

    Another interlude in reference to life relations leads to our next endeavor of a block long bear crawl!! (mumble chatter insert here)… followed by a mosey for one block.

    And a final interlude in reference to life relations leads to a block long karaoke. Dancing all the way to the bank!! Mosey to down the trace to the Mandeville Trailhead.

    Here a preset obstacle corse is set with rigging equipment and some 30lb coupons some of us acquired on a recent ruck event.

    The 60+ pull

    (2) 50 ft ropes attached to a 60 plus pound bag and chain lay waiting. two teams line up horizontal on opposite sides of the green space. Each rope is stretched out in opposite directions. The entire pax is in plank position. One pax gets in position to pull the dead weight towards his team. As he does the rest of the pax begin to do leg thrusts IC. Once he has pulled it the whole way the rest of the pax switches exercise to plank jacks IC. Now one pax on the opposite team does the same and when it reaches him switch back to leg thrusts until everyone has had a tug.

    Baby in a basket

    2 ropes hang on opposite sides of the second story of the Trailhead. Attached is an empty bag. The pax stays in teams at the opposite end of the Trailhead. PAX completes various exercises with one member from each team running with the 30lb coupon. He puts it into the bag, runs up the stairs, pulls the bag up, take the coupon, throws the bag back down, and takes the coupon downstairs and back to the team. The pax does:

    Squat Jumps IC x10

    Slow Lunges IC x10

    Merkins IC x10

    Freak Nastys x10

    Freddie Mercuries IC x10

    LBC IC x10

    rince and repeat

    until completion.

    At this point the I’m asking who is still alive for the Indian run back to the Shovel Flag???

    Everyone is eager to engage!! lol!

    Once at the Shovel Flag COT, BOM tanked up prays us out. and to the cooler we go!

    T claps to the newer guys who pushed through this beatdown!! you guys are committed!!

    Over and Out,

  • We Don’t Gamble In This House!

    Pulling up to the AO the YHC notices some pax gathered around 1 particular clown car. At a closer look not 1 but 2 flats on a Cadillac… well not so much a Cadillac… more like a scion or Nissan or some kind of import that any union guy would love to bring a baseball bat to.. “well how the hell did that happen??” is the common question amongst the mumble chatter.. either way the show must go on!!

    THE WARM UP

    SSH x10 IC

    IW x10 IC

    okay enough of that let’s get to the thang…

    THE THANG

    inspired by Ray Lewis…out comes the Deck of Death 😫. A short grumble is quickly silenced by shooters instructions who had done this with me on a previous endeavor.

    Black cards merkins

    Red cards lbcs

    7s pull-ups

    JQK 10

    ACE 25

    JOKERS 50 merkins or 20 merkins 20 lbc and 10 pull-ups

    in a pearl the pax takes turns flipping the cards over in much anticipation to what the next card will be. Grunts and grumble along with Grundy over spirited chatter broke the silence of the gloom…

    after the last card top it off with

    10 burpees oyo

    10 j-Lo ic

    10 heel taps ic

    COT BOM

    big thanks to shooter for praying us out and helping night train and rainbow unicorn with their flat tires even after the beatdown…. and I personally volunteered Ocho for his virgin q for  next week marsh beatdown…

  • Milestone Marsh Inauguration!!

    Even before the crack of dawn 4 warrior pax made a decision this morning to start their week off in beast mode!!! Before beginning I myself welcomed the eager eyes with an official introduction to the new AO of the northshore division. Going back to the basics fundamentals are key. And form is everything . So with that being said we bounced right into it!!

    01:00 push-ups to time or failure

    01:00 sit-ups to time or failure

    01:00 pull-ups to time or failure

    1 mile run (all in under 08:03!!)

    rince and repeat…( exclude the mile run)

    and for a small finale we circled up on the court for some time in some plank variations my count of corse was extremely slow (that’s so unlike me)  j-los 10 ic and heal taps 10 ic. COT BOM giving the man upstairs all the glory!

    On a side note every pax there has shown growth in some way shape or form. it’s awesome to see a man transform in front of your eyes..so guy keep showing up!! dig deep and give everything you’ve got!!

  • north shore beatdown 5-20-17

  • Kick the Q like a hakki sack!!

    Started the morning in total darkness 15 minutes early to get a warm up jog in preparation for the tough mudder. Then a pax of 5 quickly turned to a pax of 8 as we returned the shovel flag. mosey east to circle up straight into some SSH, Knee highs, butt kicks, alternating lunges, side step squats, and jump squats.

    then another mosey onto the next pearl for a round of merkins, shoulder taps, and freak nasties, then again in the incline, and as we cry for the burn we continue in the decline position and top it off with some simple but effective arm raises.

    and again we mosey to the end of the lakefront for a game of “catch me if you can”… we pair off and half the pax takes off running around the park while the other half does 5 burpies. then we have to try and catch up and tag your partner (who’s halfway around the stretch running full speed…) so he can do his 5 burpies. alternating between burpies and star jumps 4 times around the park. as we are all huffing and puffing the pairs go into a backpedal/sprint race  from 3 landmarks only to tag your partner to do the same.

    we mosey on down to circle up and work on our wife pleasers, side abdominal raises( both sides) and then eiei takes q for his jane fonda routine to keep everyone in check!!

    mosey on down with a sprint to the flag for 6 min of mary and chewy takes the q for his brutal routine of peter parkers, parker peters, mountain climbers, full sit ups paired with russian twists and some other weird workouts i can’t remember the name of, but killer for sure!!

    cot to add a fng brandon who’s now knows as “tree hugger” for his environmental occupation!!
