  • MaryAnne’s Mayhem at The Gipper – from TurboTax

    Some guys liked Ginger best, but YHC always found himself in the MaryAnne camp with the Professor. Until this morning in the Gloom, that is.

    The Gipper PAX tackled the latest and last installment in the 2021 IronPAX challenge, MaryAnne’s Mayhem. 52:30 minutes of hard work. YHC doesn’t remember anything of that nature happening on Gilligan’s Island but maybe he missed something. 200 coupon curls, 175 body weight squats, 150 OH coupon presses, 125 coupon swings, 100 Merkins, 75 coupon thrusters, 50 Bonnie Blair’s, and 25 blockees as well as multiple 25 yard runs and burpees were the order of the day. Everyone made their downpainment on the day and got their money’s worth this morning.

    Thanks for letting me lead guys.

  • Deck of death with a bunch of old cores – from Jose10k

    On a beautiful crisp morning, YHC arrived to the a1c realizing that he had forgotten to create a workout for this morning. Softball had kept him out to late the night before, so he reached into his bag for supplies. The usual crew showed up. I quickly found a deck of cards and it was on!
    Warmups: arm circles, self love, torso twists, and something else ( with 10 hand released merkins in between). Inspired by STEVE, lt. Dan’s across the parking garage. Moseyed back to the center, rock music playing, the deck of death began. Hearts: leg raises. Diamond: big boy situps, spades: gas pumps, and clubs: freddy mercurys in cadence, the joker was 5 calf raises on each step, up all 3 flights. Deck of death, core style! COT, and einstein prayed us out! Thanks for letting me lead brothers.

  • The Wobble – from TurboTax

    YHC had to dust off his PhD in theoretical physics to understand it and employ the oratory skills of Socrates to explain it, but make no mistake, The Wobble is worthy of its name.

    Four PAX materialized out of the Gloom right on time, and we got right down to business. 50 Kracken Burpees, 50 DBE Burpees, 50 Bonnie Blair’s, and 2400 meters later Iron PAX #3 was in the books. It was a solid downpainment on the day, and the geriatric PAX wobbled back off into the Gloom to start theirs.

    Thanks for letting me lead guys.

  • 7 Card Studs – from Mobydick

    In the gloom and drip of a passing storm the oldest pax I have ever seen ( combined average 67 years) assembled under the shelter of the Depot. Mobydick Dick, Einstein, BBQ showed up despite the wx.
    Since I wasn’t aware of the current challenge I came with a deck of death. After a reasonable 20x stretch of SSH/Gm/AC/SL a hand of seven card stud was dealt. Hearts were burpees Spades deep squats Diamonds hand release Merkins Clubs were knee touch Lunges. Never saw so many big hearts. Closed out with 100xs crunches and 20x Jane Fonda’s/Leg lifts/Crunchy frogs. Einstein won the Q next week with Full house Aces over 8s. Mobydick prayed us out. Not bad for some old guys.

    SYITG – Akbar

  • IDA ONLY ONE DHERE – from Einstein

    Well, what can I say. It was an awesome workout.

  • 21-15-9 – from Akbar

    YHC had 2 beatdowns in mind and was on the fence about which workout to do all the way to the parking lot. Would it be 21-15-9 or a block grinder? Figuring we’ll have plenty of block work the next month, 21-15-9 it is (with a little block work too).

    WU – 20 x SSH, Grass Grabbers, IW IC; Self-Love x 10 IC

    Thang 1: 21-15-9 reps each set. First 2 exercises are always Merkins and Squats

    Set 1 21 Merkins, 15 Squats, 9 Australian mountain climbers (BTTW position). Mosey to benches at justice center.

    Set 2 Freak Nasty, mosey to next concrete stairs

    Set 3 Sister MC. Bear crawl to top of stairs

    Set 4 Monkey Humpers, run downstairs, back up, lunge walk downstairs, lunge walk up, bear crawl downstairs

    Set 5 Calf Raises, mosey to benches or somewhere for triceps

    Set 6 Freak Nasties

    Thang 2: 21-15-9 block work

    Set 7 21 block rows, 15 curls, 3 dirkins – rinse and repeat for 3 total sets

    Set 8 21 Tricep raises, 15 Chest Presses, 9 Goblet Squats – rinse and repeat for 3 sets

    Recover, back to flag for Mary

    LBC, Hello Dolly, E2k right/left x20; Leg raises x 10

    Workout called, count-o-rama, name-o-rama

    Announcements: Kickball at St Pauls with FIA Thursday. YHC 2 year anniversary Saturday

    Great work today guys, thanks for letting me lead – Akbar

    NMM

    21-15-9 is a standard count for crossfit, and there are many variations. I believe the standard is to do 21/15/9 reps of each exercise AMRAP for time. Russo would know that each of those numbers are divisible by 3, so you could vary by 3 sets of 7 and so on. Too confusing for a guy who can’t even add ISI numbers without a calculator. Great to see Yellow Snow out again for his 1st Gipper beatdown.​
