  • Brood of Vipers – from Akbar

    4 braved the frigid 37 degrees this morning to start out their week right. We arrived to witness the leftovers of a Sunday birthday party, and the Marsh was trashier than usually this gloom. Waterpik said it best – “the best thing about having a birthday party here is you don’t have to clean up.”

    6am – YHC, Hammer, and Waterpik started out with warm ups consisting of Windmills , SSH, Torso Twist Imperial Walkers, and… Hogsbreath pulls up speeding in Cowbell-like fashion to join us for Hillbillies

    If you ever run out of ideas to Q, the Exicon (frequently perused by @Shooter) and other backblasts across the nation offer a wealth of pain. That was the case for YHC this weekend, spending way too much time reading what our brothers have been up to in the gloom. Also gives you ideas on new exercises you may not of heard of – like the Wojo Squat, Flock o Seagulls, or String Rippers.

    QIC settled on a modified Brood of Vipers, from F3 Greenwood

    Thang: Three round ladder, 5 sets, 3-4 exercises in each set, IC and OYO, recovery run in between rounds

    All exercises Copperhead Style

    Mary IC

    Count, Name, Hammer prayed us out.

    Moleskin

    Hogsbreath was rather witty this morning. When we got to the second round of Irkins, Hogsbreath said “you’re really Irkin me.” Also noting as the daylight started to set in, that “the brighter it got, the uglier you guys look.”

    The term “looks good on paper” came to mind after set 4 & 5 in round 1, when YHC realized doing 3 tempo Merkin exercises x12 followed by 2×12 triceps was difficult to say the least. But we pushed through.

    I got enough workouts from surfing backblasts for 5 weeks. 😉

  • Rucking Renny (Renaissance 2021-03-07) – from Catfish

    Post-ruck Renny with 11 PAX.

    Started facing the bacon and burst out the gate with 8-count bodybuilders. Went to top of stairs for deep-sea divers. On to sixes for leg lifts, hello dollies, and freddy mercurys. On feet for 5 mins of EMOM burpees (10 burpees per min)

    Back on feet for Imperian squat walkers. Circled in the road for jack webbs (to 13). On feet for an Al Gore / jump squat ring of fire (2 rounds).

    To the fountain for dips, right leg power ups, derkins, left leg power ups, irkins. Moved back to steps area for calf raises.

    Back of museum for Sunday Mornings (min 5 rounds).

    Back to front of museum for Peter Parker Peters, Dr. Ws, then 5 OYO burpees to finish.

  • This is what happens when you don’t sign up to Q – from Amnesia

    Pre-Thang: Some of the PAX ran the 2 mile Pre-Thang to get those miles in for RCR.

    Warm-O-Rama: 25 SSH, 25 Imperial Walkers, 20 mountain climbers – we needed some warming as the temps were still below freezing.

    The Thang: YHC had signed up planning to run the whole time, as Run Cajun Run was still ongoing. After warning from some PAX as to the running abilities of other PAX, YHC had to adapt. So adapt we did! We ran to the beach, with random stops for 5 burpees OYO.

    Then we came back and completed Dora at Marigny Avenue. You know the drill: 100 merkins, 200 big boi sit-ups, and 300 squats cumulative – one partner runs while the other completes the exercises.

    I don’t blame Jose 10k…at this point he said “screw it” and left the workout to get pure running in. Which was my intent anyway.

    Next was BLIMPS…5 burpees at the shovel flag, then run a block and complete 10 lunges…continue with 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 merkins, 25 plank jacks, and 30 squats. I had the leaders complete SPMILB on their way back to the shovel flag.

    Mary: After running back to the flag, we had barely enough time for 20 each of leg lifts and hello dolly’s.

    Name-O-Rama and COT concluded the beatdown and then YHC had to skip coffeeteria as a drive to Dallas was planned for that afternoon!!

  • Minute Mania – from Shooter

    Great showing at the Marsh following the month of RunCajunRun. Q planned a beatdown with minimum running this Gloom as I know many are wanting to rest the tread on their sneakers coming off an incredible month as mentioned by RY in his email.. YHC brought a companion (30 lbs Ruck plate) to the beatdown to inspire the PAX..

    Warmup
    10IC Windmills, 15IC SSH, 20 IC Grass grabbers and 25IC Butt kicks.

    Thang
    Wanting to bring back the premise of how the Marsh was formed YHC with phone in hand for the timer kept the PAX busy with multiple timed reps of exercises.

    All exercises would be max reps for a minute. Split into 2 groups of 4 with pull-ups and swing tucks. F/J
    Upon finishing PAX met on the sidewalk by the playground for Carolina dry docks and Sister Mary K/Catherine’s..
    We then ran down to school and back.
    Assembled at the court for the company of the ruck plate. Each PAX alternated running suicides with the plate for a min until each member completed a round. The rest of the men completed called exercise. Exercises included Mountain climbers, Peter Parker’s, Parker Peters, Shoulder taps, jump squats, Bobby Hurleys, Lunges and squats. Next up we took to our six for 3 rounds of chest press 5, 8 and 10 looking for the right number to complete in a min as the PAX completed LBCs passing along the plate.. Next up curls for the girls which proved inefficient in form with 10 and only getting through half of the PAX before the timer sang so we completed regardless. Then we were able to complete 10 shoulder presses while the PAX did overhead claps. We did SSH on a 2nd round of shoulder presses. With 8 mins remaining we completed a lap around the block returning for time for 20IC Crunchy frogs 🐸, because 360 on Saturday wasn’t enough. And ended with 20IC Flutter kicks…

    Appreciate the great showing on a Monday, especially Backdraft making the decision to join instead of hitting that snooze 😴…

    Let’s make sure we give Russo a similar showing at Grannies on Tuesday!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Logging miles for RCR – from Waterpik

    5 Pax set out in the early morning gloom to log some miles for the RCR CSAUP at the Mandeville City Hall Scramble. Two laps around the circle, hit the pier and head back to the starting line for COT, count off and prayer.

  • Blimps and core corners – from Jose10k

    Blimps, 5,10,15,20,25,30 while running the parking garage between each exercise. Then we did the core corners. 20 reps each corner, first right elbow to left knee, then left elbow to right knee, leg lifts, big boy sit-ups

  • I just felt like running…. – from Jose10k

    Hogs breathe, bbq, and yhc showed up this dreary morning, ready for the crazy Ivan. A simple poll was taken, and we just felt like running. Through the wet streets of Covington, the 3 of us jog at a slow pace. Discussions of family, work, the crazy Ivan, runcajunrun, and of course COVID. I realized that I am truly blessed to call these men my brothers, my family. We still have never had a solo A1C, and every workout has been great. Thank gentlemen for coming out, and I hope we see everyone out tonight for the crazy Ivan. Jose10k out….

  • We all do this, don’t we? – from Waterpik

    Today’s beatdown was plagiarized from Hogsbreaths beatdown at the marsh a couple of weeks ago. We all copy workouts, don’t we? Here we go: PAX grabs a cinder block, lines up in a single file line on Lamarque st and starts heading towards the lakefront. Instructions were to walk to the lakefront with the coupon. Last man in line jogs to front of line with coupon. Rinse and repeat. At the lakefront sets of Tabata were on the menu. , 30 secs with 10 secs rest. Exercises were merkins, 100s, big boy sit-ups, Supermans, freak nasties, rows w/ coupon, presses w/ coupon, kettle bell swings, leg raises. Rinse and repeat. With 15 minutes to spare, grab coupon and head back to the marsh.
    5 minutes left: hit the 6 for some Mary: cowbells crunchy frogs ((where was cowbell?), flutter kicks, chill cut plank.

    Have a good week guys! Y’all bring out the best in me! I hope F3 brings out the best in all of you too

  • Dreams Do Come True – A Tribute to MLK – from Akbar

    YHC arrived at the Marsh to a cool 32 degrees this morning. While Grover and I sat in the car for a pre-thang warm up, we were not the first to arrive. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a lone figure doing Burpees. At first I thought it was @Cowbell, since he left the only reply to my Pre-Blast about F2 after the beatdown. But no, it was none other than Russo. His Burpees were polished, in cadence, reminiscent of Mr. Miyagi’s flowing Crane kick. Alas, Cowbell did not show.

    Today we would celebrate Martin Luther King. A man with humble beginnings who had a dream that did come true.

    Warm Up: Grass Grabbers, Plank Jack, Self-Love, Big Arm Circles (front and back), Torso Twist IC x10-20
