  • Motivating Yellboy – from Mayhem

    48°F, 3mph NE wind (feels like 38°F when you’re wet with sweat), 70% humidity

    PAX were a mix of anxious warriors and confused early risers who mistook this for a yoga class… and an FNG

    Warm-O-Rama:
    Windmills: 10 reps, which started with a demonstration to which Frac said ‘even little kids know how to do windmills’
    Grass Grabbers: 10 reps, which did not start with a demonstration, to which Frac said ‘why aren’t you demonstrating’, but then he attempted to touch the grass but just bent forward and looked like a confused flamingo
    Peter Parker Peters: 20 reps
    Tie Fighters: 10 reps count up, 10 reps count down
    Back on your face for a Mayhem special (I think it is new to all, and I think it will stick): Hip Slap Shoulder Tap Merkins, it is a 10-count exercise, 10 reps

    Thang 1: Snake the Bleachers with Some Mary
    Time to snake up and down the bleachers. But since we’re in F3, we added some Mary in between. 15 BB, half the bleachers, 15 V-ups, half the bleachers, 15 BB, half the bleachers, 15 V-ups, half the bleachers, 15 BB. 10ish bonus burpees for Kilo for finishing first.

    Thang 2: Sevens with Motivators-Burpees
    Start with 6 motivators and 1 burpee then 5 motivators and 2 burpees and so on.
    Motivator: full SSH, star hop, leg only, and a bunny hop

    Thang 3: BLIMPS
    This is when things really started getting… interesting. Blimps are just a nice way of saying “burpee but with a little extra ‘why did I do this to myself’ factor.”
    Rd1- 20 each (burpee, lunge, imperial walker, merkin, plank jack, squat) at each cone, with mode of transportation being bear crawl (of course), then mosey to midfield cone and back to start
    Rd2- 10 each, with mode of transportation duck walk (Triple not present to demonstrate proper form), then mosey to midfield cone and back to start
    Rd3- 5 each, but in the form of shuttle runs to each of the 6 cones then mosey to midfield cone and back to start

    But wait, there’s more…

    Thang 4: Ring of Fire
    We ended with the classic Ring of Fire. Three rounds. Al Gore to squats. Plank to merkins. Al Gore to burpees. The “fire” quickly turned into “fire in my quads.”

    Bogey enjoyed this beat down so much he claimed I stole his script for his upcoming Q on Monday.

    COT:
    We circled up, not to share deep philosophical musings, but to recover from the sheer trauma of the last 45 minutes and to get to know and name our FNG. Welcome, Yellboy! Kudos to Kilo for EH’ing. If Yellboy is half as committed as Kilo then we got ourselves another great PAX.

    Prayers for Boo Boo’s sister-in-law, Leigh Whitman’s family and Pai Gow’s father.

    Great to lead and try new things!
    Sign up to Q!
    Make it a point to EH this year!

  • Burpeepalooza: Heisenberg would’ve loved this one… – from Bolt

    It went like this: YHC showed up to the last “chapter” of the Tu pamphlet (book) club…sans BD where Boo-Boo remarked he had been slacking which was interpreted as a cry for accountability and who was I to not oblige!? Space Cowboy unwittingly dragged me into MABA Monday so I offered to Q Wednesday with a promise to deliver the RDA of burpees, penance for not doing anything Tu, and accountability to all pax posting.
    The gloom came after a short night of sleep and a very cold, windy morning to accompany my bad attitude and sore body (courtesy of Space Cowboy); the pax were counting on me and guilt/obligation brought me here. The playlist demanded what we’d do—Burpeepalooza!
    Warmorama with Mosey to JPAS, Rapper’s Delight (of course): Abe SLOWgodas, OH/Seal/FAC/RAC, Self Love, LSS, Willie Mays Hayes, SSH, Sampson Stretch, finish with 10 burpees IC even though the Q called 5 (do what I do/say during, not before the action…)
    The Thang: A group of songs requiring burpees on a certain word/phrase with different body movements for each song. Leveling up burpees between songs to honor Heisenberg. All pax did at least 155 burpees (playlist below), mosey back to flag and burpee on the six. COT

  • Substiture teacher – from Kenna Brah

    In the foggy dew of the gloom where men grind out a new life, I approached the field with confidence. Putting on a beat-down worthy of Mr Rodgers is no small feat, but, chaos rules here and we were headed toward a great time together.

  • The 12 Days of Fitmas, 9 Days before Christmas – from Bolt

    KB was the first to both call for and seek accountability, quickly followed by Boo-boo. YHC decided to participate and then realized it was the last chance of the year to give the pax their annual gift—12 Days of Fitmas…the Q shall b YHC’s! Frac would b pleased that Rapper’s Delight would b replaced by 120bpm Christmas playlist.

    The Thang: Each additional day will add an exercise and the corresponding number of reps resulting in a ladder workout:
    Day 1: Mosey
    Day 2: Merkins
    Day3: Shoulder Taps

    Day 5: Burpees
    Day 6: Squats
    Day 7: Diamond merkins
    Day 8: Big Boy sit-ups
    Day 9: Plank Jacks
    Day 10: Superman
    Day 11: SSH
    Day 12: Mtn. Climbers

    With 11 minutes left, we put our fate in the “deca-die” of pain, rolling for random exercises (OYO) including 15 squat jumps+20 burpees, 1 min wall sit+30 tricep dips, etc. COT.

  • 2 Weeks is 2 Long! – from Bolt

    YHC had been under the weather and traveling, leading to too many fartsacks and too many excuses. Having had enough the call was made for HCs to Waning Wednesday at The Goldmine. Boo-boo was first to answer with a choice offered: The Goldmine or Pontiff and YHC texted with Pontiff…in the event he fartsacked so as not to leave Boo-boo solo. Space Cowboy HC’d which meant The Goldmine would prevail for both pax previously destined for Pontiff!
    Having started this whole thing, YHC prepped to Q—speaker and Frac’s favorite song in hand. Disclaimer and off to the warmup pad for LSS, Abe SLOWgodas, Tie Fighter R/L, SSH, Shoulder taps, PP/PP, OH claps.

    Mosey to JPAX via shuffle each direction, karaoke each direction, KnOT walk, Mosey, switching at each light pole.

    The Thang: KISS—ascending ladder BLIMPS (Burpees, Lunges, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats) with 10 step ups 2:1 after each letter:
    5 Burpees, step ups
    Add a letter and 5 reps to the count
    5 Burpees, 10 Lunges, step ups…
    …all the way to 30 Squats
    YHC had to pause several times for HR to drop below 160 before resuming as Space Cowboy lapped us, per usual.

    Mosey back to warmup pad for Mary, pax choice: LBCx30, Dying cockroachesx30, Protractor Penguins (this one sucked and WILL return)x5 at 15/90/45/15/45. Switch to AMRAP of pax choice while 30 sec. dead hang is timer: plank, xfactors, and close out time with high plank. COT
