  • The Future’s So Bright: I gotta wear shades – from Jose10k

    3 Brave souls braved the cool morning air to gather at the top of the parking garage. Moby and myself were engaged in mild conversation when loud music came blaring up the ramp. It was none other than BBQ, rocking an old classic. Fifty thou a year’ll buy a lot of beer
    Things are going great, and they’re only getting better
    I’m doing alright, getting good grades
    The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades
    I gotta wear shades.
    The beatdown was simple: Tabata: Round Robin Style. 45 seconds of an exercise of that person choice, 15 seconds break.
    COT, Moby prayed us out. Short, sweet, and to the point gentlemen

  • Up and down with the deck of cards – from BBQ

    A strong 5 arrived. Multiple and usual warm ups. Of course I botched the count on a couple. A warm up lap around the top deck. The deck of cards came out. Each suit had an exercise and each card represented the # of exercises, 2 thru 14. The 4 exercises were hand release merkins, copperhead squats, gas pumps and LBC’s. LBC’s were double the card. After each rep we directly stood up from sitting on the pavement to standing up. Using no hands. Or at least we tried. It took some warm up. I do not recall the name of this type of stand up squat. I did them at beat down in St Louis. The one joker was a one star jump every third line across the top deck parking spots. We finished the deck of cards. Nameorama and prayed out. Another great start of the day at the A1C!

  • Recovering mosey and FLORA!! – from Shooter

    With our first cold front upon us, YHC looked to the Exicon for a partner containing coupon routine and FLORA showed herself.. After some chatter under the breezeway with Moby, Fletch and Einstien about Hot Springs AR. and the Diamond 💎 explores toward our north…BBQ comes in hot crunching gravel and exiting his vehicle to confirm our last arrival of the gloom.. We started in with an extended warmup of 20IC Seal jacks, Toe Touches, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, Butt kicks, Cherry Pickers and Grass Grabbers. We Moseyed around the trailhead toward the courthouse and back around Lola’s with fresh smell 👃🏻 of breakfast in the air.. Upon return we selected our coupons from behind the container and after splitting into 2 groups we commenced to starting in on FLORA.. Completed 100,200,300
    with recovery Mosey in between each… The Goblet squat and hold proved most difficult to the Q, as I know this will be felt in the next few days… According to Moby the men of this Gipper morning may be walking with a little swagger in the days to come.. Once complete we closed with Mary consisting of 10 OYO bridges each leg, then alternating toe to heel Jane Fonda’s, half hold Fonda’s and Pulsating Fonda’s all IC 10 count… Wrapped up with 20IC Hello Dollies, Rosalitas and Hands to heels…

    Appreciate all you single, double and triple respected brethren for the post and allowing me to lead!!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Kamara Ingram and Moby – from TurboTax

    Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram have nothing on Moby Dick. At least that’s the way it looked from my perspective at The Gipper this morning. Allow YHC to explain.

    After a quick warmup of toe touches, shoulder taps, windmills, Peter Parker’s, Imperial Walkers, Parker Peters and Seal jacks, the PAX made its way to the back of the Justice Center for the Thang.

    Partner up with partner 1 executing burpees while partner 2 runs up and down the stairs to relieve partner 1. 50 burpees per team. Then we combined crossover runs first with 100 45 degree lunges and second with 200 simulated jump ropes.

    We then brought the show to the front of the Justice Center for the main event. YHC laid out the cones and we sprinted, backpedaled, cut, juked and otherwise ran agility drills like any other professional team. It was impressive stuff I tell you, but Moby was particularly impressive. Like I said, Alvin and Mark are lucky the Saints scouts did not post this morning, or they might both be out of a job.

    Thanks for letting me lead this morning guys. Always fun.

  • Back in Black – from TurboTax

    Good to be back at The Gipper after an extended absence and while YHC actually was wearing a white t-shirt this morning, “Back in White” does not have the same cache’ as “Back in Black.” So there.

    White or black didn’t matter to the substance of the beatdown though. After a warmup of SSHs, shoulder taps, toe touches, Peter Parkers, seal jacks, Parker Peters, and windmills, it was off to Bedrock to kick off the Thang.

    Small boulders were identified and lifted in 90 degrees planes of motion as the PAX either re-habed or pre-habed their shoulders.

    Sufficiently warm, we moseyed to the Justice Center for an animal parade of sorts, Partner 1 performing an exercise (shoulder taps, plank reach throughs, 45 degree lunges, and curtsey squats) while Partner motored about 40 yards and back (bear crawls, reverse bear crawls, ostrich walks, gorilla walks, lateral lunges, crabwalks, and giraffe walks).

    Back to the shovel flag for some Mary with dynamic back and the side planks.

    Countorama, nameorama and then Einstein prayed us out.

    Nice to be back in the PAX. Thanks as always for letting me lead.

  • All about the Benj🤑mins!! – from Shooter

  • 100/200/300 Dora-Hammer Style – from Jose10k

    A great way to start your weekend off right: a beatdown at the A1C. Where else can you have the average age of participation over 55, gasous emissions from Hammer that could be weaponized and used to torture terriorists?
    The Thang: A hammer style dora on the side of the parking garage. Partner one runs a lap, while partner 2 completes the exercises. 100/200/300 big boys, squats, merkins. 2 calf raises each step back to the the top for some 4 corners. 7 reps at each corner, then 14, 21, and finish with 28. Merkins, Squats, Big boys, lbcs. Hammer pushed me to finish it right at 6, COT, prayers for JV and my family. Run to remember next Saturday, Russo’s Q tomorrow. Thanks for letting me lead Brothers. SYITG!
