  • Reunion at the Gipper! – from Shooter

    Seeing the Q sheet blank at the Gipper and the Scramble YHC decided to signup and fill the post. Shortly after Q received a message from Bushwhacker confirming a meet at the old WD parking lot.. Little did Q know he had also EHed Steve for a reunion car pool to convoy up to the north.. YHC had also EHed Akbar to meet and join, but was instructed if no sightings had occurred by 0540 to rollout, so that’s what we did. Now Akbar still posted and shortly into the beatdown Akbar would come to learn that YHC was informed of a recent “Ring of Fire” incident… Funny story to me but maybe not those involved, but never the less felt obliged to pay homage…

    Warmup
    10IC
    Cherry pickers, self love, Torso twists, Toe Touches, Windmills, Grass grabbers, Butt kicks and High knees..

    Moseyed a lap down the trailhead and around back to the flag at which point YHC noticed a new 6 foot barrier between the PAX coupons.. Wasted no time and called an audible in my head..

    Thang
    Moseyed to the school board building where we circled around the flag for a sweet ole campfire song by the famous Johnny Cash.
    “Ring of Fire” played as the PAX completed Merkins. Next we partnered up for wall sits P1 and P2 instructed to sprint around the building. R/R 2x. Next we Indian ran in 2 groups to the front of the Justice center for P1 Right and Left leap frogs on the benches while P2 bunny hopped up the steps and moseyed the ramps down to F/J. Then we we moseyed to the backside of the center for P1 freak nasties on the benches and P2 Carioca to the steps sprinting up like Rocky and returning. R/R 2x.
    Moseyed back to the AO to finish with the Worse Merkin ever to 10 and some Core.
    Wife pleasers, Jane Fonda’s 3 styles, 100s, hands to heels and leg raises..

    Counted off, announced another potential Wacker vacation in Kokomo (possibly Jan/Feb) and Barely legal prayed us out with thoughts and condolences for the families of the recent murders of a retired Priest and pastoral council member found just the other day in Covington… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Appreciate the follow gentlemen and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • SPEED SKATING at the GIPPER – from Einstein

    Inspired by a visit to the Milwaukee WI Pettit National Ice Center and a skating session on the Olympic Speed Skating Oval

  • THE CARD GAME CONTINUES AT THE A1C – from Einstein

    The fog was so thick this morning, BBQ’s wife wouldn’t let him leave the house.
    Which is too bad, as he would have excelled at the river dance routine that we performed

    Warmup:
    all 15xIC: Toe Touch, Side Straddle Hops, Shoulder Rolls, Snap-Crackle-Pops(aka neck rolls), Imperial Walkers, Hillbillys, etc

    Thang:
    With Deck of Cards, each pax is assigned their suit: Moby-spades, Jose10K-clubs, Invisible Man-hearts, Einstein-diamond
    And with a few rules;
    #1, one at a time, each pax draws a card, the owner of that suit calls out an exercise of their choice and we do that number on the card
    #2, you can’t lay on the ground like a lazy f@t b*st#rd after being on your six, you had to get up for each card pulled
    #3, if the same suit gets pulled in consecutive order, the face amount doubles, triples, etc

    Joker #1 – back-peddle around the upper deck
    Joker #2 – mosey down the stairs and two calf raises per step up the stairs

    Count-o-rama

  • Young at Heart – from TurboTax

    With a combined age approaching 300, 5 young at heart PAX kick started their Wednesday with a tough one at The Gipper. A warm up of imperial walkers, shoulder taps, side straddle hops, Peter Parkers, seal jacks, Parker Peters, merkins and toe touches got the blood flowing for our mosey to the Justice Center.

    It wasn’t the same without Steve, but somehow we managed a nice set of Bulgarian split squats combining isometric holds, dynamic movements and then plyometrics. Rinse and repeat but this time with incline merkins.

    Lunge walk and bear crawl to the stairs for some Wile E Coyote.

    Recovery walk to the mailboxes then some Mary: Scuba Steve’s, Nolan Ryan’s, flutter kicks, Superman’s, hello Dolly’s and jackknives.

    Run with burpees at every light to the flag where we circled up for curtesy squats, single leg RDLs and good mornings.

    Back to the stairs for a few rounds up and around and then a nice long walk sit.

    Mosey to the shovel flag for a final exercise-a back plank.

    Countorama, nameorama and Einstein prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead guys. SYITG.

  • 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 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

    Count-o-rama

  • Fair Day – from Jose10k

    It was a simple beatdown on my day off. We did a nice warm up that including ssh, grass grabbers, self love, arm circles, high knees, imperial walkers.
    We went to the rock garden to get some coupons because you can’t ride the rides at the fair without your coupon. We did shoulder presses, curls, 45 degree chest presses, and kettlebell swings. 3 rounds of 20 reps of each. A little bit of moseying with another history lesson about downtown Covington. At the fair there are animals, so some duck walks, bear crawls,and monkey humpers. Back to the top of the parking garage for some four corners, 7 merkins at each corner, then 14 at each. Then 21 squats at each, then 28. Moby prayed us out.
