  • Round Robin Respect minus 1 – from Jose10k

    Alright, imagine this:

    It’s a crisp 62-degree morning, perfect for some quality pain. Enter the crew: **Darkwing Duck**(respect), swooping in like he’s ready to fight crime, **Einstein**(respect, respect), showing up with theories on why star jumps are the greatest, **Moby**(respect, respect, respect), low-key brooding because that’s just how Moby rolls, and then there’s Jose10K… yhc… the villain, taking all the flak because, apparently, you *asked* for this. Naturally, *hate* is served up hot for you.

    Cue the ramp. It’s not just any ramp—this is where sweat meets tears. We’re talking round robin style, because why stick with one exercise when you can juggle a whole bunch? At the top, 10 reps of anything horrible; at the bottom, more 10-rep torture. Between sprints, we’re shuffling sideways like confused crabs, jogging backward like we’re dodging regrets, and throwing in other random moves that only Einstein could scientifically explain.

    As if the ramp massacre wasn’t enough, the grand finale is 5 minutes of core at the top. Naturally, everyone has a brilliant suggestion for which core exercise to suffer through next. It’s like a buffet of agony, and of course, everyone gets a turn.

    In short: chaos, camaraderie, and a few too many “respects” thrown around—except for me, yhc. I get none.

  • It was Shooter’s idea, I swear – from Fletch

    Alright, picture this: it’s a typical morning at the garage. The crew lines up, ready to embrace the madness that Shooter inspired me this morning. The plan? A deceptively simple combo: 10, 20, 30 reps of upper body, core, and leg exercises—but with a catch. One poor soul is always running down to the bottom of the garage, and this is where the fun begins.

    First, our hero grabs a jump rope and busts out 60 reps, Rocky-style, because why not? But there’s no rest for the wicked—time to sprint back up that ramp (which feels longer with each step). At the top, it’s straight into 40 curls with a coupon that somehow seems to have gained weight on the way up. Then, just when the arms are jelly, it’s time to drop 20 squats like they’re nothing.

    Meanwhile, the rest of the squad is sweating through their own reps, secretly praying for their turn to run and escape the pain. Rinse and repeat, everyone goes twice, and by the end, even the garage is out of breath.

    Workout complete, pride intact (mostly), and everyone feeling like they could take on the next mission—after a nap.

  • Triskaidekaphobia or Fear of the Number 13 Fear or avoidance of the number 13. It is also a reason for the fear of Friday the 13th, called paraskevidekatriaphobia. – from Jose10k

    3 HIMS showed up, not afraid of the number 13, not afraid of the humidity, not afraid of the aftermath of Hurricane Francine. We took the red pill, and we were ready for a beatdown.
    Due to the lack of electricity, YHC didn’t really come up with a Friday the 13th themed beatdown, so I used an oldie.
    Warm-up: the usual
    The Thang: Mosey to the courthouse for 11s. Burpees at one side, 2 calf raises up each step, copperhead squats at the top, down the ramp and around the courthouse.
    Mumble chatter included the difficult math problem of calculating the optimal workout heart rate for a 75 year old man. Which Einstein quickly pointed out to Moby that he is 74, which produced even more grumble, grumble.
    COT-Einstein prayed us out with intentions of hurricane survivors and prayers for our country.
    Thanks for letting me lead/reading this.

  • Nine-burpee-Eleven – from Einstein

    As a memorial to all folks lost on Sept.11 2001 the pax did a coupon/block workout.

    Each coupon exercise was 9 of something – a burpee – then 11 of the same thing.

  • 1ST & 10 at THE A1C – from Einstein

    Rainy morning at the A1C this morning.

    With the kick-off of the football season, the 1st & 10 routine, from the F3 Exicon, was the order of the day.

    Warmup: all IC15x; toe touch, side staddle hops, arm circles, imperial walkers, neck rolls, hillbillies(country boys), hi-jack hi-jills, seal jacks

    Thang: 1st & 10, using the upper deck parking garage parking stripes as our football field (a wet one at that)
    1 merkin, 10 burpees, “sprint” to the end of the field, mosey back around, the ref (Bushwacker) moved up the chains…2 merkins, 9 burpees, sprint, move up…3 merkins, 8 burpees, sprint, move up,…etc.
    Bushwacker – in the lead, still doing his referee duties, scored first, with the rest of the pax a minute or so behind.

    Next Thangs: with time to spare the pax did some Lieutenant Dans, lunging forward and backward, side shuffles, etc.

    Mary: one minute of star stretches.

    Cuz prayed us out.

  • Round Robin at the Gipper – from Einstein

    With no one signed up to que, a Round Robin was to ensue.

    Moby started off the confusion with his slow cadence jumping jacks making us all look like a bunch of uncoordinated ballerinos. The warm up smoothed out as we made it around the group a couple of times.

    DarkWing called an audible and we went and grabbed the cinder block coupons. Each pax chose a coupon exercise and mixed in with a few laps, time was up before we new it.

    Moby prayed us out with intentions for BBQ’s nephew – a new kidney transplant recipient.

  • ROSHAMBO for the Q – from Darkwing Duck

    11s were on the docket today. After a questionable game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, YHC took the q. Quick warm-up then moseyed to the courthouse. Burpees on the side walk, run to the stairs, 5 calf raises up each step, then big boy situps at the top. Run down the ramp and out the side, around the parking lot, back to the side walk. Finished right at 6 am.
    COT and done.

  • Rock, paper, scissors to see who leads?!?!?!? – from Darkwing Duck

    Beautiful morning to take the red pill and get some work in. No one picked up the Q so it was a little ROSHAMBO to take the lead. Regular warm-up, then mosey to the courthouse.
    A set of 11s was the choice. Burpees at the side walk, big boys at the top of the stairs, 5 calf raises at each step, with a lap down the ramp and around the side in between each set.
    Ended right a 6. COT. Simple beatdown, simple back blast for a great group of HIMS.

  • Friday dealing the cards! – from BBQ

    Another hot and muggy morning in the Gloom but nothing could slow or stop this mighty foursome. We did the usual warm ups and of course I botched the cadence on a few. Einstein is my hero on warmups and I did not get to his standard of excellence this morning. I was eager to move into the Thang and get the cards flipping. Each suit represented a different exercise. Spades were T Merkins. Clubs were Star Jacks. Diamonds were Gas Pumps. Hearts were Freddie Mercury’s. Reps were set by card number. 2 thru 14 ( Aces! ). There was some concern about the shuffle and mumble chatter on some streaks of the same suit. Red suits came early and black suits later. The joker play was called by Jose 10K and a lap down and up in the A1C. On the second joker a new move was introduced. It was alternating front arm swings for 60 seconds. It was named “BBQ Wings”! We got thru the deck and finished with some stretching. Moby prayed us out. He challenged us to push and grow each other and those around us. It was an honor to be in this PAX!

  • My BUDDY and me!! – from Shooter

    Arrived to the Gipper with 3 Buddies (coupons) and noticed the PAX closer to the road and not in the normal AO. To no surprise, Jose 10k was already soaking wet with music playing and a white board brought from the previous A1c beat down from the week before. Now keep in mind school is back in session and the Gipper during school is usually off limits to the 10k, but I guess with the Spartan quickly approaching he has now decided to post a beatdown before the 0600 beatdown to get er done.. Much respect 10k for your persistence.
    I must also tip the hat to downrange VTach from Birmingham for not only posting at Granny’s but also posting the Gipper. YHC tried to EH for the Scramble, however the southshore will have the privilege of his presence somewhere in the Gloom on Thursday..
    Appreciate the share about the No Cheat Merkin VTach and it will soon become a standard amongst YHCs future Qs..

    Warmup
    15IC and 10IC Seal jacks, cherry pickers, Toe Touches, SSH, Butt kicks and Torso twists.

    Thang
    With only 3 buddies the PAX went to the yard to grab 4 more buddies to carry throughout Covington. We stopped along the way in the Front of the justice center, on top the parking garage and on the backside of the justice center then returning to the AO for the finale.
