  • Frac Attack (Oh No He Didn’t) – from Fast Tax

    The Uptowner 8/12/2022

    Backblast disclaimer: Given the passage of time, YHC’s aging memory, and the Fracsac transgression, the events in this exercise represent my best recollection of what transpired and may not be entirely factual.

    After disclaimer, we headed to the field to attempt to find a dry-ish spot for warmups consisting of:
    Grass Grabbers
    SSH
    Hairy Rockettes
    Toy Soldiers
    Swan Dives

    Catch-Me-If-You-Can was the first exercise. Separating into teams of 2, while PAX 2 ran backwards around the track, PAX 1 did 10 merkins then sprinted to catch up, then PAX 2 did the merkins while PAX 1 ran backwards. This cycle was repeated until we made it all the way around the track.

    Next, we circled up for a roll of the dice. In a circle, PAX took turns rolling the 10 sided exercise die gifted to YHC on his birthday Q from Bolt. Exercises included burpees, merkins, LBCs, and others that I can no longer remember.

    With 25 minutes left, it was time for Battle Frisburpee.

    Team 1 – Rafiki, Smalls, Hand Grenada, and Fast Tax
    Team 2 – PVC, Glamper, FracSac, and Bogey

    While Team 2 prevailed (3-1), it was likely in large part to Fracsac’s blind-side tackling of YHC as YHC was about to score. It is likely that without the incorporation of tackling into the game, Team 1 would have triumphed…at least that is how my concussed brain recalls it…

    Also noteworthy in the game was PVC’s use of passing the ball from one baller to another in order to tag more opposing players. While the move was clever and not specifically prohibited in the rules (yet), this use of the ball is still being reviewed by the Battle Frisburpee committee…a ruling is expected before the next game.

    With game over, we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.

  • How do you get to 100…..1 at a time – from Mahatma

    The morning air was wet with streaks of lightning off in the distance – a perfect setting of gloom for the Uptowner.

    8 pax meet in the chain link box at Pontiff with high anticipation of what this morning will bring. YHC approached with a trash bag of goodies and his boom box fully charged.

    Playlist started with “Greenie Rule” in effect. If you don’t know and are curious sift through my last couple of BB for description otherwise if you don’t care no problem as it will be in all future beatdowns that tunes are played.

    Quick disclaimer with Charmine emphasizing that YHC is not a professional…..which I whole heartedly agreed and we kicked off the warm up.
    5-7 of each
    SSH
    ABVAGODA
    MNT MAN POOPERS
    GOOD MORNINGS
    5 OYO Burpees for good measure

    Slow mosey to the kiddie land – 2 lines formed at the rings for pull ups 3 rounds of 3.
    5 Burpees for good measure

    Mosey back
    5 more Burpees – at this point Bolt is seeing that YHC is at least attempting to maintain the focus towards 100.

    Cnt off 1,2 until 2 4 pax teams created. Cones and bats brought out for relay challenge.
    The 2 teams competed:
    1st in dizydean burpee which was 5 times around the bat then perform 5 burpees run to the other side repeat 5 times around the bat followed by 5 more burpees then run back. Each time the bat was dropped another pax was to jump in. End in a close tie with Hokie and Charmine sprinting to the finish so ALL did 5 penalty burpees.
    2nd was the same except no burpees after the 5 times around the bat – team 1 lost and had 5 penalty burpees yet most of not all pax on team 2 joined in.

    At this point there had been 2 Greenie changes – YHC and Sandbar

    Now the “game” – Cabbage-Burpees which was 1st played in the Summer of 2019 (before the world went crazy!!!! and things we know today are the unfortunate infiltrations of our past)

    How it’s played:
    2 pitches (if the pitcher sucks he will be penalized by YHC with Burpees then moved to a new position).
    Strike Out – batter 5 BP
    1st out batting team 2BP
    2nd out 4BP
    Ea base hit or advanced base equals a BP for the defense.
    So a single 1
    Double 2
    Triple 3
    HR 5
    These are to be performed immediately after the batting takes place before next batter for both offense and defense.

    1 burpee for ea run scores accumulated for the inning and performed between innings while changing roles on the field.

    Losing team 10 burpee Penalty.
    Team 1 – Hokie, Sandbar, Stroganoff and Mahatma
    Def
    Team 2 – Glamper, Bolt, Charmine and Rafiki

    Mary – x 20 weighted ball with BigBoy sit ups
    X 20 leg extension throws (you had to be there to understand)

    FlipFlop

    COT

    Prayers for our brother TenderLoin who will be undergoing open heart surgery next Friday. No doubt God brought him into our Pax to help build a base of support both physically and spiritually for what lies ahead. I’m confident he will be back on his feet in no time running the track.

  • Full-body Beatdown Bonus Burpees – from Bolt

    Warmorama Rapper’s Delight edition
    The Thang: make our way from exercise pad near flag to exercise pad on David Dr. side using the path via alternating side shuffles, stopping at each bench for five burpees (Frac is a semantics stickler and informed us a picnic table is a picnic bench therefore a burpee station). Arriving at the exercise equipment, we assumed the following stations: pull ups, dips, leg press, incline bench, horizontal lat pull, rower, incline sit ups for tabata sets of AMRAP then rotate counterclockwise (a concept War Eagle’s millennial brain couldn’t follow, thus chaos ensued). Return to flag via same route, method as before. Frac was pleased he exceeded his RDA of burpees during a beatdown. Welcomed FNG, stroganoff, who is Glamper’s 15yo 2.0.
