  • Chi Chi Ah Ah – from Jose10k

    Friday the 13th, how would I create a beatdown for this historic Friday. Thoughts were bounding around my head all day. I was excited after dropping off my daughter to start planning, however, my nephew blew up my phone with countless Algebra 3 questions late into the night. Still, I had to create something. Then I worried that the resident 80s/90s pop culture buff (Hammer) would find countless holes in my movie references. Too much pressure on YHC, so I limped in with a simple version of a Friday the 13th beatdown. All exercises were in reps of 13. Maybe next time.
    Warm-ups: ssh, torso twists, grass grabbers, arm circles, shoulder presses
    The thang: 4 corners each corner reps of 13, first round was merkins with simple jog between corners, then jump squats with back paddle half way, sprint the other half. Then a Waterpik fav, bear crawl the length of the parking garage with a merkin at each painted line. Lunge walk back. Moseyed to the rock garden for some coupon work. Curls for the girls, then rows, squats and kettle bell swings. Moseyed back. Then 5 calf raises each step all the way up, followed up with Mary. COT with Legal praying us out. Thanks for the chance to lead gentlemen, always a pleasure.

  • Iron PAX Prep – from TurboTax

    The Iron PAX Challenge 2021 is now on the calendar for September so it was time for some coupon work this morning at The Gipper. Eight veterans and one FNG put in a quick warmup of SSHs, Mountain Climbers, Seal Jacks, Peter Parkers, Toe Touches and Parker Peters, then it was time to grab a coupon and head over the Boatyard for some work.

    YHC set out four markers with the PAX’s help, each 10 yards apart, and then we began Round 1 with a Farmer’s Carry of our coupon to the first marker, back pedal to the starting point, jog forward to our first marker; Farmer’s Carry with our coupon to the second marker, back pedal to the starting point, jog forward to the second marker, etc. Multiple rounds ensued consisting of OH carries, Rifle carries, Manmakers to OH carries, Murder Bunnies, Bear Crawl pull throughs, all with our coupons of course, with skips, carioca, bear crawls, back pedals and jogs in between.

    Countorama and nameorama upon our return to the Shovel Flag. Welcome FNG Dribbles! You might see Tinkles in the OR. Barely Legal prayed us out.

    Thanks for letting me lead guys. Solid work this morning.

  • 1 year anniversary – from Jose10k

    Warm-up: ssh, grass grabbers, arm circles, windmills all reps of 15 in honor of my daughter turning 15 on Tuesday. The thang: moseyed to the courthouse for some dora. 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 lbcs partner work. While one partner was performing each exercise, the second partner climbed the walkway rails hand over hand. Once finished, moseyed back to the parking garage entrance, then sprint up the inclines up to the top. Once at the top, Moby busted out the chain. We gathered in a line and each man pulled the chain across the parking garage. Last 5 minutes, busted out some mary. Leg raises, crunchy frogs, etc.. COT and Shooter prayed us out. BBQ busted out some birthday brownies along with some party poppers. Thanks to his wife for the tasty treats.
    Thanks for letting me lead, thanks for celebrating 1 year at the A1C, and thanks for the support for creating the AO. Y’all push me to be better.

  • Keep Your Eye on the Ball – from TurboTax

    The Gipper PAX turned out strong this morning with nary a concern about tonight’s rendezvous with the Gnarly Nutria. After a warmup of SSHs, mountain climbers, seal jacks, Peter Parkers, IWs, Parker Peters, toe touches and Merkins, we headed over to the Justice Center for an animal parade. Crab walks, ostrich walks, bear crawls, gorilla walks, and frog jumps down the alley and then a short mosey to the opposite side of the JC for a series of passing games. Keeping it light to keep the legs fresh for those making the trek to compete in the GN but still competitive enough to make a nice downpainment on the day for the others, we worked together as a team to keep the ball moving and paid the price in penalty exercises when our teamwork broke down. Back at the Shovel Flag, Moby prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead guys.

  • No Monkey business at the A1c!! – from Shooter

    Knowing YHC would be out the next 2 days I wanted to give the PAX something to remember. There was no Monkey business but there was Monkey Humpers which brought a comment from Moby that had the PAX in stitches 😂😂 for some of the warmup.. Don’t quite remember the exact statement but I believe he shared “They’ll be no Monkey Humping from me in my future.” or something along those lines.. Either way the PAX really enjoyed his statement and if you want to confirm just ask the next tome you see him..

    Warmup
    Variations of 10IC/20IC arm circles, Cherry Pickers, Windmills, Butt kicks, Mummy kicks, SSH, Toe Touches and of course Monkey 🐵 Humpers..

    Thang
    YHC planted a special delivery at the northern side base of the parking garage.
    You guessed it coupon Friday.
    Picking the 7 of diamonds ♦️ from the Exicon for today’s beatdown.
    The attempt was 7 rounds of exercise. Brief description four corners or in our case 4 lamppost. Increasing rep count by 7 each round to 28 and backdown to 7. For the Qs sake an audible was called for the 28 count exercise 😰😰. 4 rounds of each
    7 rep count each lamppost 8count body builder with a thruster replacing the Plank Jack Tanked.. 14 rep count kettle swings, 21 block Merkins, 28 curls for the girls, 21 chest press, 14 squat thrusters and time expires.. PAX carried the coupon at all times and between each round… T👏🏼👏🏼to all the men on this day for sticking with it and pushing through.. We all agreed that Tanked seemed to just be getting warmed up as he grunted through the finish line, however he graciously informed the Q he was feeling toward the end and the grunts were an assist to finish strong 💪🏼 💪🏼…

    Count, announce and COT with the Q closing out with intentions for my neighbor and prayers for Amnesia’s wife..

    Thanks for posting and and keeping me accountable you fine men!!

    Till the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • 1776 Beatdown – from Hogs Breath

    Pulling in some history theme; The best college lecture I ever heard was “the American Revelation in one hour” so YHC tried to build a beatdown around the American revolution in 45 mins!

    We began much like the colonists with the “7 year war” so 7 burpee’s OYO.

    The colonists were left in a time of confusion and taxation, so YHC ‘purposely’ lead a confusing IC warmup.
    14 overhead presses
    13ish toe kicks
    20ish overhead presses

    And the colonists truly felt they were taking up the rear….. so monkey humpers!!!

    After this the colonists began to revolt, and this culminated with the Boston Massacre and Battle of Lexington and Concorde. So we “marched” [mosey] to get our coupons.
    The Declaration of Independence was signed during this time. The digits 1776 add up to “21” so we did 21 OYO merkins (also we America does 21 gun salutes).

    The colonists realized they were without Artillery so they raided the fort at Ticonderoga and took the British cannons carrying these back across a frozen New York; so we grabbed our Coupons and moseyed back to the A1C parking garage. The colonists had to recruit and train, so we stopped for some overhead presses and Urkins along the way.
    The British attempted to stem the Americans and separate New England with a two-pronged attack, so we counted off in 2’s and one group would backward run the perimeter, while the other group overhead press.
    Rinse and repeat with goblet squats and lunges walks.
    France got pulled in after the Battle of Saratoga, the American revolution truly became a “World War” especially with fighting over the Caribbean islands. So since everyone was getting their butt kicked, we did two rings of fire with monkey humpers!!
    To represent the three main armies (British, French, and American) we did a round of three, with a perimeter run, Urkins, and LBC’s.
    Then came a few years of stalemates, so we held a few planks.
    After that we mosey’d to return the coupons. Similar to Gen Washington marching to meet Gen Lafayette and the French Fleet to moving in for the Battle of the Capes and Battle of Yorktown.
    It has been said that Washington when he met up with Lafayette fell to his knees and cried out “my God thank you!!” So we fell to our knees doing 5 IC lunges.
    It took about 3 weeks for the message to reach England (that the British surrendered at Yorktown,) where the Tory party declared “we are finished…..” with this YHC declared the beatdown was over and “that Pax is how we became a nation!”

    Ended with COT, announcements of Gnarly Nutria, Fia/F3 mixer; and prayers for Akbar as his family traverses the American West, our nation, and ourselves to lead other men!

  • There’s an outdoor shower at the Gipper – from Jose10k

    I need more Cowbell, wait, I any Cowbell. Cowbell was supposed to have the Q, yet he called an audible. Have no fear Jose is here to step up, and step up he did. Since I am now sounding like Bushwhacker, referring to myself in third person, I will get on to the workout. I was tossing around a few different ideas, but when there arrived only 6 participants I went with tabata: 45 seconds of an exercise, 15 seconds rest. I started us off, and then went around the group with each participant calling out a different exercise. Peacock, Waves, Slots, Blue Note, BBQ, and YHC were rolling when a very peculiar young man rode up on his bike. He was a mixture of a homeless man mixed with a meth head, crossbred with Joe Dirt. He was shirtless, tatted up (yet the tats made no sense whatsoever), and clearing on something. He proceeded to shower at the Gipper, brushing his long locks, while talking to himself. As a group we were all amazed that an outdoor shower existed at the Gipper. To which Joe Dirt’s distant inbred nephew replied “It feels so good, and that we should definitely each try it when we finished” Never a dull moment at a FIA/F3 beatdown. COT and BBQ prayed us out.
