With no one signed up to que, a Round Robin was to ensue. Moby started off the confusion with his slow cadence jumping jacks making us all look like a bunch of uncoordinated ballerinos. The warm up smoothed out as we made it around the group a couple of times. …
The Gipper opened with a cool breeze for a change. A six man pax was on hand for guided Tabata of seven exercises and three rounds. Jose 10K and Hammer were early birds. A brief period of stretches got us started. YHC being the old grazer didn’t want to deprive …
Another hot and muggy morning in the Gloom but nothing could slow or stop this mighty foursome. We did the usual warm ups and of course I botched the cadence on a few. Einstein is my hero on warmups and I did not get to his standard of excellence this …
Arrived to the Gipper with 3 Buddies (coupons) and noticed the PAX closer to the road and not in the normal AO. To no surprise, Jose 10k was already soaking wet with music playing and a white board brought from the previous A1c beat down from the week before. Now …
THE THANG: It was a bit cooler this morning, 74 degrees to start an Epic “Back to School Beatdown” We moseyed over the top of the stairs and YHC presented the white board. Time to go back to school and do the Billy Madison. Each grade represented an exercise and …

Small world when our downrange visitor from Lake Charles, X-Ray, not only knew Jose’s better half, but (much to Jose’s dismay) had actually spoken to her just yesterday. Also slightly awkward was when this conversation started, Jose had a hard time remembering Katie’s maiden name. But I guess to be …
That was the refrain of the day after YHC called out, “Let’s get started,” and was met with a collective groan. Look, YHC isn’t even in the top 3 of the toughest Northshore Q’s (think Grundy, Hammer, hell, even Pickaxe/Chainsaw could give me a run for my money). Also, just …
YHC took the late Q last night, arriving to 8 HIM at the Gipper. Warm up: SSH, Smurf Jacks, Arm Circles, Self Love, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Windmills, Toe Touches Quick mosey to the Rockpile, 10 reps OYO of: Curls, Rows, Shoulder Press, Goblet Squat, Triceps Press, …
