  • YHC at the OG – from Fracsac

    YHC hasn’t been to the West Bank in some time, so a visit was in order. The Pax eagerly handed the Q of the OG to YHC.

    Short Bus, Slinger, FireFox, and T-Square were ready for what YHC had in store….so a disclaimer was given.

    Warmup consisted of regular stuff, minus The Moroccan Night Club, which was noticed and YHC was happy to hear! That will be fixed in the future!

    The Pax was a bit quiet, in need of Motivation!

    Motivator!! (Want more info? Just ask!)

    Mosey to the top of the levee for Route 66 with burpees.

    We couldn’t stop at just 66, so add 4 for 70.

    Mosey to the river steps for sets of incline merkins, step ups, box jumps, and dips.

    Back to the flag for some more cardio, Embrace the Suck! 7 SSH, 7 Merkins and 7 Bobby Hurleys over and over for 3 minutes. Goal was 8 rounds, some got close.

    Finish off with Mary, with a little Pax Choice.

    COT

    Loved visiting my brothers on the Wank!

    SYITG!

  • 4 HIMs & a Rucker – from Hokie

    71° at 0500 at The OG

    4 HIMs stuck around for a beat down and Hokie ventured off for 3.0 mile ruck including the garage, the Mardi Gras light tour and the lever

  • Some Ruck & some ladder – from Hokie

    Boo Boo and I tucked down the levee and back 2.28 miles while TSquare, Slinger & Firefox did ladder drills

  • Mardi Gras Mambo – from Hokie

    On Monday I posted in slack stating no one had signed up to Q and I was willing to do so if no one else wanted it.

    As I awakened this AM and saw 41° on my weather app, I regretted my Monday Slack post but knew I had to get up and attend the Best Bank.

    Upon my arrival I saw the Mardi Gras lights, checked F3 NOLA to see no one volunteered to Q and therefore posted a pic at 0445 inviting folks to come join me for a little Mardi Gras Mambo

    Warm ups

    SSH x 20
    Slooow Abe Vigoda x 5
    Grass Grabbers x 10
    Imperial Walkers x 15

    The Thang – Mardi Gras Mambo

    We started on the River Shack corner

    Each round would start with a 10 burpee buy in and then we would do an exercise in a prescribed number of reps starting at the River Shack Corner and continuing Counter Clockwise to the four Corners of The OG Race Track

    Round 1 was 5 burpees at each of the 4 corners then run to the River Shack and then circle the six

    10 burpee buy in before starting each of the remaining rounds and always circle the six so we would start each round together.

    2. 10 HR Merkins
    3. 15 Star Toe Taps
    4. 20 SSH
    5. 25 low slow squats
    6. 30 shoulder Taps
    7. 35 LBC’s

    We closed with 10 burpee cash out or 100 burpees MABA

    THANK YOU for allowing me to lead!

  • Where’s Waldo? Is MacGyver with him 😜 – from Hokie

    Under clear beautiful skies, 4 Pax gathered under the stars at 36° along the levee known as Best Bank Batture and anxiously awaited the young gun Q Master… at 0500 T-Square and Hokie decided Hokie would take the 1st half and T-Square would bring it home.

    After a brief warm-a-Rama of SSH, Abe Vigoda & Imperial Walkers we mosey to the near parking lot for 11’s starting with 10 Burpee and 1 Big Boi sit up while traversing the parking lot from the wall to the guard shack 10.1, 9.2, 8.3 …. 55 burpees later and 22 minutes into the morning Hokie turned over the Q to T-Square

    We moseyed back to the “cubbies” for 5 minutes of Suck It… 3 Burpees, 5 incline merkins, 5 squats, rinse & repeat non-stop for 5 minutes

    Next we help our crawled on top of the cubbies and took a 1 minute nap while holding our legs at 6 inches, followed by a one minute high plank.

    With the next evolution, the 4 Pax went to the 4 extremes 12-6 & 9-3 like 3-6-9-12 on a clock around “the track”. One Pax would run 1/4 counter clockwise while all others performed SSH until all 4 Pax ran 1/4 loop.

    Rinse & repeat with LBC’s for round two.

    It would not be The Best Bank Batture without closing with 3 rounds of 10 echo count Lazy Boys … back, right & left.

    Afterwards we closed with COT where we lifted up Emily who is now kicking Covid/Corona in addition to Cancer (C-Square is M T-square) and prayers of gratitude for War Eagle and his new 2.0 we took a knee with social distancing

    Get healthy ShortBus!

    PS . I followed up with our missing Q who responded, “ I was doing fantastic till you texted me and I realized that closing my eyes for a second had turned into a fartsack😭 I think I owe about 400 burpies now”

    All is good!
