  • Vincent Price in a trash can?

    Still high from the UGA victory over Notre Dame – I took the MONDAY am SKINNY Q at Audubon Park. Organ Grinder was signed up by Douille but was blocked by a previous engagement. So I took the Q.

    A cool 75 degrees and the first day of Fall to start this Skinny.

    Ran to the soccer field. El Wire spotted some great GLOOM. Like really great gloom. There were thriller references, and some concern that Vincent Price was chilling in the trash. Had to teach the PAX who is Vincent Price.

    Warm up SSX x20, Imperial Walker Squats x 20, Mtn Climbers x 20, and Dying Bugs x 20 – looking at the sky – pointed out some stars for the PAX.

    Flamingo Shit Smell on the way in. Lots of smells today.

    We mosey’d to the river view at the FLY. Here we did 50 Monkey Humpers OYO, then we lunge walked to the road. Another great GLOOM session. HORSESHIT SMELL.

    Mosey’d to the HILL. At the Hill – we did 20 Plank Jacks, then 18 Shoulder Taps, 16 plank jacks, 14 shoulder taps, 12 plank jacks .etc crossing the hill back and forth. The HILL had a nice gloom too. RHINO SHIT SMELL

    In the middle of the soccer field we circled up for single legs hip thrusts, and low country crab x 20 GIRAFFE SHIT SMELL

    Then we indian ran to the other side of the FLY. Only 3 dudes got through the indian run – not sure what the hell happened there. DOGSHIT SMELL

    We ran fast to the Labrynth. There we did 20 dips IC, 15 bulgarian split lunges left, 20 inclined merks, and 20 bulgarian splits right.

    Then on our 6 for 20 russian twists, 15 roaches, 15 LBTs and 15 Vups. (Led by Peach, Angie, Qpipe and ElWire

    HORSESHIT SMELL

    Then we ran back to the flag and closed out with a COT.

  • Levees in the Moonlight

    EL Wire always starts with the JACK OFF. SSH x 20, SMurfs x 20, Seals x 20 and Plank Jacks x 20 – El Wire is the MASTER at this.

    Then we mosey’d to the levee.
    Partner up.

    We did Merkins at the TOP x10, x 15, x 20, x 25, x 30 = 100 while partner LBCs and waits and then Jump Squats at the top with bicicletas at the bottom (2 Rounds)

    Then we mosey’d over to Audubon Statue and did a modified DORA. Partner 1: Run the first half of the loop then 5 burpees at the turn and then run backwards.

    Partner 2 Exercises: V-UPs to 100, didn’t finish then we bolted for the FLAG.

    There was a breeze. First one in awhile.

    Thanks for stepping up for the Q-El Wire! Now please learn to write a bb.

  • New Challenge – The 69ers

    Few uptowners traveled the 2 miles outside of their home radius. Therefore, most never had the chance to experience the H8 on the other side of the world. F3 Nola even designed a mudgear shirt with an “H8” logo on the back. Uptown deserves to have its own challenge called the “69ers.” YHC remembers that Tool Q’ed a Mini H8 with 4 laps as a practice run for the actual H8 with 8 laps. It’s called 69ers because a practice workout will have 6 laps. When it’s time for the actual challenge, it will be 9 laps. More importantly, the laps are in figure 9 or upside down 6 route. Today, YHC only has time to Q a 6 laps practice run for the very first introduction. Hopefully in a few months, YHC will bring this challenge on with 9 laps. The goal is to finish the 9 laps within 30-32 minutes. Three figure 9 laps equal to approximately 1.25 miles. Therefore, 6 and 9 laps will be about 2.5 and 3.75 miles, respectively. Maybe one day, we can all have a mudgear shirt with a “69” logo on the back. I’m sure it will be an hot item. Just imagine Gabrielle with his tight-fit mud gear with “Gabby & 69” on his back.

    Warm-up
    19 brave PAX showed up this morning not knowing that they were about to get a piece of the “6” of the 69ers. Quick disclaimer and moseyed to the parking lot in front of Audubon Zoo with the following exercises:

    Toe Touches x 10 IC
    SSHs x 20 IC
    forward arm circles x 10 IC
    reverse arm circles x 10 IC
    Hill Billies x 20 IC
    Mountain Climbers x 20 IC

    Introduction of the 69ers

    Lap 1 – Start at point A with 6 hand-release burpees (Hurpees). Run towards Magazine Street and make a U-Turn back towards Point B. At point B – 6 more hurpees, then bear crawl for about 15 yards to point C. Then mosey back to point A. Lap 2 – same route except with 5 Hurpees at point A and B. Lap 3 with 4 Hurpees at point A and B…. you get the idea. At the last lap 6, finish with 1 hurpees and the run. Total distance for the 6 laps is about 2.5 miles. The goal was to finish the race under 20 minutes. T-claps to Beiber being the only one finishing under the 20 minutes at about 19.5 minutes. Also T-Claps to Douille and Tinkles finishing 2nd and 3rd. Tinkles finished right under 22 minutes.

    While waiting on the “6” (how fitting), PAX did rocky balboa x 20 IC. Then the PAX headed to the grass field in front of the Zoo and did a round of Mary with the following exercises:

    LBCs x 20 IC
    Hello Dolly x 20 IC
    Dying Cockroach x 20 IC

    Moseyed back to the flag for COT. During the run back, few PAX were asking YHC what’s an “H8?” Hopefully, in a couple of months, YHC will challenge not just Uptowners but all PAX to come to Uptown for the 69ers challenge (9 laps within 30-32 minutes mark). Once again, I am always grateful to workout with my F3 brothers. Thanks again for the opportunity to lead. SYITG.
