  • Classic Muscleship

    12 pax gathered on a perfect Saturday morning after Thanksgiving to burn off all the excess indulgence from earlier in the week.  YHC was volunteered to Q and happily accepted to lead the pax for a Muscleship beatdown. 

    The pax started off with a jog to Wisner and back to the field where the following warmup exercises were performed IC

    • SSH x 20
    • Peter Parkers x 20 
    • Alternating hand to foot touch  x 20,
    • Arm circles x 15 both ways 
    • Windmills x 15

    Next we got into 2 lines and did an Indian run to the Foundry. Once there we paired up at 6 different stations for a Tabata workout of 30 seconds, with a 10 second break between stations. Stations consisted of the following;

    • Pull-ups
    • jump squats
    • snake jumps
    • Dips
    • Shoulder taps
    • Diamond merkins

    Rinse and repeat for 4 total rounds. 

    Next we moseyed back to the field in front of NOMA for “The 300”

    Again all pax partnered up where there were 4 cones spread about 40 yards apart.  At each cone the pax had to perform 75 cumulative reps of the designated exercise.  

    Pax 1 does 10 burpees as a timer while pax 2 does each designated exercise at cone.   When pax 1 finishes his 10 burpees, the pax switch where partner picks up until the 75 cumulative reps are finished. Once finished both pax would bear crawl to the next cone to perform the next set of exercises.. The 4 cones consisted of:

    • Cone 1 – 75 merkins
    • Cone 2 – 75 big boy sit-ups 
    • Cone 3 – 75 Carolina dry docks 
    • Cone 4 – 75 American Hammer 

    With about 8 minutes remaining we circled up for some Mary called out by all the pax.  From memory this included, LBC’s, flutter kicks, dying cockroach, Freddy Mercury, and 1-2 more I’m missing.  

    Finished up with COT for countoff, NOR and intentions followed by Coffeteria.  

    Thanks for posting and the opportunity to lead as always.  

  • The Scarlet Letter

    With Yankee’s threats to wear a reflective B during my next workout if I don’t finish this in time…

    7 Pax gathered the Tuesday before Thanksgiving for Tsunami.

    After a quick announcement we moseyed a warmup down St. Charles to Audubon place and then to the base of the Mountain for a warmup.

    SS Hop x 20

    Hillbilly x 20

    Self Love x 20

    Modified Peter Parker (with a Merkin in between) x 10

    Mountain Climber x 20

    Then to the base of the Mountain and partnered up for Catch Me If You Can:

    1 Pax: 5 hand release Merkins while the other Pax runs backwards, all the way to the Summit

    At the Summit a quick round of Mary including LBTs x 20 and Dying Cockroach x 20 while we with for the 6.

    Regrouped, we ran down the stairs and to the ROTC pull-up bars for a 3 station workout.

    Pullups x 10 (count, if you can’t do 10 the 3 second hand per pullup), Squats and Shoulder taps. Rinse and Repeat.

    Turn around for box jumps onto the small wall behind the bike racks x 10, then 20 decline merkins, then 10 more box jumps.

    Finally we ran to the base of the smaller mountain on Feret street where we did 5 burpees at each landing while running to the top.

    Our coupon from last week was still there so we had 7 Pax in a line on their backs passing the large cinder block back and forth with a cinder block lift in between.

    Finally we finished with 50 Rocky Balboa’s on the parking french fries and moseyed back to the flag for a COT.

  • Campus tour

    Nine pax arrived on time at the Chamber for my first Q; one of which was an FNG who Gideon brought in after meeting on a plane. The PAX warmed up with head rotations, self love, grass grabbers and general stretching.

    The PAX then did an Indian run up Elysian Fields to station one where I spoke of the artist Tom Sachs and his daily studio practice “work is a privilege, it is not that you have to do 50 push ups but that you can. ” with this in mind the pax did 50 Merkins.

    Indian Run to station 2 – Water Feature / here Pax concentrated on core with crunchy frogs, American hammer, J-Lo and dying cockroach – sets of 25 in cadence

    Indian Run to station 3 – The Levee / Pax partnered up for Dora, 200 cumulative dips timed by partners running up and down the the levee.

    Indian Run to station 4 – UNO Sign / Pax partnered up, 50 lung walks while partners sat in Al Gore.

    Indian Run back to the flag – 10 burpees every minute for 4 minutes completing the work out.

    Countorama, nameorama / FNG centered up and was officially named Bonvoy. Prayer spoken was centered around gratefulness.

    I had a great time leading this work out and look forward to more in the future.

  • Delayed Mountain Time

    Apologies for the delay but from way back on Friday at Wolfpack Mountain: Pax took off from the North end of Audubon Park at 0530 headed west along St Charles wrapping back around and ending up at the great circle courtyard for quick warmup:

    – Sidestradlehops; Self Love; Imperial Walkers; Peter Parkers

    Straight away to the mountain-garage – Pax headed up the mountain after some BLIMPS-planation: 5-10-15-20-25 with alternating Bear Crawl and Backward Jog up the parking garage

    – Rinse and Repeat the rest of the way up to the top Some Mary and an extra set of Side Stradlehops during another amazing NOLA sunrise

    Back down the stairs for a set of Dips on the benches Finally mosey back the circle…No not that circle the other circle…Mass confusion was averted as the flock made it back to the flag(less) pole in time for a final round of Bob Dole Tree Hugging and Smurf-Jacks (because why have thighs if you can’t make them burn).

    Counted off 30 strong with 1 FNG: Welcome Bobby Walsh; Just passing through aptly named ‘Layover’ Wrapped up with a thoroughly beatdown ball-o-man and then off to Coffe-teria at PJs

    Thanks for the great work gents!
