Two PAX arrived to high 50s, no humidity, and a nice breeze. Slowsey to the warmup pad. After a 10 minute warmup, PAX relocated to the JPAS loading dock for use of the ramp.
The motto of the day, keep it simple (but not easy). DORA consisting of 100 big bois, 200 merkins, and 300. PAX 1 Scantrons up the ramp to the loading dock and runs back for a switch.
Mosey back to the flag for three minutes of recovery stretch.
COT, prayers for several people, OUT!
Warm-up: SSH, IW, GG, Merkins, Bobby Hurly
On the line: open the gate, close the gate, high knees, butt kicks, scoops
Mosey to Gym:
Gotcha – 1 line at the 3 point line. First two pax have a ball. Pax 1 shoots a 3. If he doesn’t make it he gets his own rebound and tries to score before pax 2 scores. If he doesn’t he’s out. Continue until one man left. There was a way to buy back in.
Buy-in #1 – 30 Abe Lincolns, 60 Monkey Humpers, 90 Big Bois
As predicted by Mayhem, the buy in was too steep. Although a couple of us came close.
The Architect won the first game and pretended to do squats while the losers finished up.
We reduced the buy-in for game two. Fast Tax and YHC got back in to be quickly dismissed once again.
Buy-in #2 – 20 Big Bois, 40 Monkey Humpers, 60 Abe Lincolns
I assume The Architect won again. It was him and Mayhem at the end, but I was too busy to pay attention.
We took a break from basketball to do some
wall work – BTW. Chicken Peckers, BTW, Pecker Chickens, BTW, Pecker Mayhem
We then divided up into 3 teams of 3. Teams 1 and 2 play a game of 3 on 3 sudden death wile Team 3 does 10 merkins, 10 Bobby Hurleys, 10 Big Bois, in perpetuity. The losing team swaps with the team doing exercises.
We made it through three games and headed back to the flag
NMM
* There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that enjoy having fun occasionally and Mr. Rogers
* Speaking of everyone’s favorite neighbor, I did Q a workout that made him remove the weight vest. That feels almost as good as making an FNG puke. I consider it a badge of honor.
* My shot was off. Must have been the wind
* At first I was skeptical of Mahyems 10-count hip-slap, shoulder-tap merkin. I’m now fully on board having developed what I have now decided to call the Pecker Mayhem. This will prove to be the pinnacle of Mayhemdom
When I arrived back home late Sunday night, I noticed some Scrum commitments from several PAX nursing foot injuries; so, I had to adjust Monday morning’s beatdown to avoid jump roping and running yet still set the bar high.
It was a warm but comfortable morning when I arrived at Kennarie Ridge and I was soon joined by @Frac Sac, @Kenna Brah, @Boo Boo, and @ PVC…in a walking boot. Gave disclaimer and headed to JPAX.

The ramp work was challenging especially the up hill crab walks but the “50+ year old only” group endured and marched on. As we reached the apex for the last time, I think I even heard a “Kennarie Ridge” war cry from @Boo Boo! The Scrum Bunch had conquered the bears and crabs! Returned the blocks to the possum and commenced with pole-dancing back to the flag with a mix of high knee slaps, lunges, and KOT’s.

COT
YHC dared both a weigh in and the tape measure after work travel/boozing for 7 out of 8 weeks and thus my Lundi Gras was decided…but only bc Boo-Boo called for accountability in Slack! Had he not done so, the tweaked knee and plantar fasciitis would have been all the excuses needed to fartsack so to hedge against it, the response in Slack was affirm attendance and raise by way of taking the Q!
Warmorama with intent to only feature Mardi Gras playlist until KB made a comment about the “diarrhea song” which required compliance to the pax wishes! Abe SLOWgodas, IW, GG, SSH, seal/OH claps, both Tie Fighters, Chinooks, MNC, self love followed by a slowsey to JPAX where the pax voted horizontal or vertical. Boo-boo and KB had 2-1 advantage so vertical meant the timer would run up the stairs and bear crawl down the ramp. The Dora was 100 dry docks, 200 reverse lunges 2:1, and 300 BBSU. Return to the flag for a song skip and 3 burpee penalty followed by an introduction to YHC’s 30-count invention: Shoulders, Knees, and Toes Plank as time ran out. COT, grateful for the men today and F3 everyday.
Looking to get back in the gloom again this week, YHC answered the call from Boo-Boo to post and ultimately Q the workout.

10 x Tie Fighters (all four ways)

Prayed for pax and their families who are going through death and pre-death.
YHC reached out for accountability and 2 pax answered the call.
At 0530 the disclaimer was given and the three of us hit the warmup pad for regular stuff. Upon completing the coveted tie fighters, Charmin recommended a side lunge with chinooks which YHC made happen.
With ISI on our minds, complete 1 minute 90 degrees arm hangs 10 seconds at a time.
Mosey to JPAC for some dirty Mac Deuce followed by a set off 11s
Mosey back to pad for another 30 seconds of arm hangs.
Thanks for joining me!
SYITG
As YHC prepped for ANOTHER work trip, the plan was to hedge against road warrior fatigue and grab a local workout before the flight and what better way to avoid the fartsack than to ask for HCs in exchange for taking the Q!? Boo-boo was the first HC and with a text to PVC there would be three—with YHC’s promise to adjust for PVC’s bum foot (me too, brother…me too) and thus a mostly stationary BD it would be.
Warmorama of mostly 10 reps: Abe SLOWgodas, IW, Hill Billies, MMPGM, Tie Fighters R/L, OH and seal claps, chinooks, self love, and SSH x 20 to Frac’s favorite songs with a cherry on top of 2 min. of February NOLA ISI pull up hangs (10 secs work/20 secs rest x 12 rounds) and then off to retrieve coupons for JPAX 7s.
The Thang:
6 Blockees followed by a mosey from the sidewalk to JPAX entrance columns for a single Shoulders, Knees, and Toes planks (TM new exicon!) which is a 30 count plank: punch each arm, shoulder taps, crossover hip taps, Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Low Plank, low Plank Jack, back to high plank, cross over toe tap.
Continue 5 blockees/2SKT Planks for the rest of 7s.
Mosey back to warmup pad for 1 min full body stretch/cool down breathing. COT; honored men—off to the airport…
