  • Where Was Hammer? – from Jose10k

    I prepared an epic playlist for musical/pop culture trivia with our local expert, Hammer. However, when he didn’t show, the local, usual group were not impressed with my tunes. However, they tolerated my tunes and my choice of the beatdown. It was simple. 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 lbcs at the corners, 10 times. Then a mile run stopping at every stop sign and doing an additional 20 squats.
    Back to the parking garage for COT, Einstein prayed us out. Happy Birthday weekend to Einstein, safe travels for BBQ to visit that new grandson, prayer requests for my mother-in-law. Thanks for letting me lead gentlemen. SYITG

  • You say Tabata I say TabAta – from Mobydick

    Drizzle in the gloom at the Gipper. YHC has become a fan of Tabata and encouraged by the ideas that short intense resistance is a better fat burner than cardio. I really don’t like cardio. So my Q consisted of 5 exercises with coupons in 5 rounds 1 minute each of Squats Presses Tricep curls Fore arm curls and grave diggers. Rest for 1 minute in between was a variety of stretches. Constant full body motion

    BBQ and Bubba brought along a FNG so the low cardio gave us a chance to mumble chatter introduce these guys to F3.

  • Done with the Super 21!! – from Shooter

    Wrapping up the week with the A1c YHC wondered how many PAX from Grandmas would post to complete the Super 21… Q already knew Jose10k would be there as demonstrated by his questioning after the beatdown Tuesday as what would be rounds 15-21… Come on Jose10k, you need more than lushest lips and radiant skin to get YHC to give up the goods 😳😬… It was nice to see Hammer and Russo also make the commitment and take the 💊 on this Friday as well… We of course had some newcomers to the 21 with Einstien and BBQ posting and they get a well deserved T👏🏼… When all said and done these HIMs achieved the level of most of there counterparts half there age with the completed rounds…

    Warmup
    Brief 10IC Windmills, Toe Touches, Cherry pickers, Torso twists, Hillbillies and Imperial walkers..

    Dropped down to level 1 of the garage and met in the back corner on the Northwest side.. With instructions provided to the newcomers of Rounds 1-7 and the introduction of Round 3 15-21 given to Hammer. YHC, Russo and Jose10k picked up at 13 and so began..
    If your interested in knowing rounds 1-14 and what was called exercises simply look back to Tuesday’s BB.. Round 3 15-21 consisted of Carolina dry docks, donkey kickoffs, jump squats with the 21 being Bicycles… T👏🏼 to Hammer and the rest of Tuesday’s PAX completing and then recycling back to rounds 1-7, which if I am correct Hammer probably got back to Rd 4 or 5, YHC, Jose10k and Russo I would say Rd 2… Einstien and BBQ got through Rd 12 as Q called at 0555.. We moseyed back to the top for closing of core and also picking up additional PAX in Moby and Sonny.
    Finished hands to heels 10IC, Jane Fonda’s 10IC and pulses at the top 10IC..

    Count, announce, COT

    Thanks to Moby for praying us out and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

Shooters 21 beatdown yesterday, continuing tomorrow at the A1C, getting old, different workouts, Fletch’s hot sauce, and when will the heat stop, and strength in people you would not normally recognize.

  • 2 year anniversary of the A1C – from Jose10k

    Nice humid morning, YHC arrived extra early to apply the finishing touches to the 2nd anniversary beatdown of the A1C. I love when the lights of the parking garage turn on at 5:00, it helps turn on my switch to get ready for the beatdown. An unusual truck appeared first, it took awhile to determine who it was…JV showed up for his first A1C. The numbers showed up, and I was very humbled by the support of my brothers.
    Warm-up: ssh, grass grabbers, self love, torso twists, imperial walkers all ic. Then the cupid shuffle: everyone in plank position, the music starts, shoulder taps until the chorus, right steps, left steps, butt kicks, mountain climbers, then back to shoulder taps.
    The thang: Mosey to the side of the parking garage for some dora. Partner one runs a loops while partner two performs the exercise, then switch up. 100 lunges (2 is 1), 200 squats, 300 merkins. After that fun, mosey back up to the top, where we broke up into 3 groups of 4 for some burpee ball. Every time you hit the ball in the air, you drop and do a burpee. The beach ball is allowed to touch the ground only one time. Penalty exercise is 25 squats. Went all the way to 6, then COT. Welcome back Einstein. Shooter prayed us out, BBQ busted out the celebratory brownies, and we huddle up for a quick picture.
    This was the 106th A1C, and I appreciate all those the help create this AO. The ones who helped me create it, the ones who showed up each week to keep it going, the Mandevillians who came out to support this Covington AO, and my brothers who are always there no matter what is going on. When people ask my about F3, I always tell them that the F2 is the most important aspect of F3. The exercises is just the lagniappe. Thank you for letting me lead today, thank you for giving me the courage to step out of my comfort zone, two years ago, to create this AO. Thank you to Moby, BBQ, and Einstein (my Covington Crew) for making it out each week. Thank you my brothers!! SYITG

  • The Cupid Shuffle – from Jose10k

    5 men showed up to the A1C this morning, ready to work out, but I don’t think they were ready for a little line dancing this morning.
    Warm-up: arm circles, grass grabbers, self love, torso twists all in cadence. About halway through, our own Covington Cowbell, aka, BBQ showed up at his regular cowbell time. Just in time for something different: the cupid shuffle. Bust out the speaker and song and it went like this. Shoulder taps the entire time until the word right was said then steps to the right, the word left said, then step to the left. The word kick, then right kick, then left kick up. Mountain climbers when you heard the word walk it out. Then back to shoulder taps. Nice 4 minute warm-up.
    The thang:
    Moseyed to the side of the A1C for some dora (Hammer style) 100 lunges (2 is 1), 200 squats, 300 merkins. One partner performs the exercise, while the other partner runs a loop around the parking lot. Once done, 2 calf raises up each stair back to the top, then 4 minutes of Mary. COT and Hammer prayed us out.
    Friendly reminder to my Mandivillians, 2 weeks from today is the 2 year anniversary of the A1C. Come on out and celebrate it with us. Thanks to my brothers for letting me lead today, even under the weather a bit.

    YHC was just in time for 6:00 due to oversleeping. Maverick was on Cowbell time and caught up with us at the Justice Center. QIC was asked what size rock to pick, and the answer was whatever you want. Which should have been a small one.

    Great to have Bean (aka Batman) back, and great stories about the bats and the cost of a Rabies shot. Mumblechatter was all over the place and included Grover, a nude bar, bats, Turbos beatdown last week, and the Cake walk.

    Thanks for following my lead – Akbar.

  • Luscious lips and Radiant skin were on display at the A1c!! – from Shooter

    Alright, the title too this BB may seem a little strange, however for those in attendance the appreciation of it had to be mentioned.. As stated in my BB yesterday, I have been out the mix of Qing lately, so I doubled up this week to make my payment to the A1c following my Q at the scramble.. And let me just tell you it did not disappoint, as I would learn more about the site AO leader Jose10k than one man needs to know.. Before I go there though, I want to give T👏🏼s too Murdock and his sons Demo and Varsity for making the trek over from the Pearl River area for the second time this week… It was great catching up with Murdock and watching the friendly competition with his sons throughout the beatdown… So back to Jose 10k, if many of you have not taken notice lately please do the next time you see him out at the AOs and be sure to express how Radiant his skin reflects in the humid gloom along with his luscious lips… Please keep it PG-13 or younger when other young PAX are around but I know he will appreciate the compliments… Before this gets any weirder let me give you the specifics to the beatdown…

    YHC wanted to give a pre Independence Day homage of sorts by using our soon to be 246 year old existence as a free nation with honoring the numbers of 7/4/1776… Oh and by the way just so you know BBQ graduated high school in 1976 in the Bicentennial year of our nation, which I believe to be pretty cool to have a PAXer of his great caliber posting and sharing beatdowns with…

    Warmup
    17IC Abe Vogadas
    76 SSH
    17IC Grass grabbers
    76 Air presses
    Moseyed down from the parking garage to the bottom level..

    Thang
    Instructions provided
    7 Rounds
    4 8 count body builders
    1 all out sprint up the first ramp
    7 IC Merkins
    7 1st round IC Jump squats which at this point audible called to Squat hold IC for rounds 2-7… Worked better..
    6 IC Mountain climbers

    May not seem like much on paper but YHC realized after 3 rounds the PAX would receive an adequate beatdown…

    Wrapped up with a Mosey back to the top for 4 mins of Mary..

    17 IC Flutter kicks
    76 LBCs OyO
    17 IC Hello Dollies
    76 💯s

    PAX counted off, made announcements of all the upcoming CSAUPs on the horizon and the Radiant glowing luscious lipped Jose10k prayed us out…

    Thanks for all you gents for posting and inspiring me to push myself on this Gloom and until the next 👊🏼💪🏼✌🏼!!!
