  • 11s inspired by DARKWING DUCK – from Jose10k

    Picture this: a crisp morning, the perfect time to not only crush some cardio but also question school board decisions, state decisions, soccer referees, basically life problems. Time for 11’s. Start off with 10 burpees at the front of the courthouse. Each burpee felt like gravity itself was personally offended that we dared to rise from the ground.

    Once we peeled ourselves off the pavement, we “ran” (more like shuffled) to the stairs. Now, these weren’t your average steps. Oh no, each one required three calf raises. Yes, three, because one just wasn’t enough to make our legs scream for mercy. Then, at the top, it was time for freddy mercury core exercises. Because who doesn’t want to feel like their abs are a pin cushion? It was here we found out how Hammer disregards referees instructions when it comes to Chainsaws wellbeing.

    But wait, there’s more! We dashed down a ramp that might as well have been Everest, looped around the parking lot, and did it all over again. Why? For fitness? For glory? To solve the mysteries of life? No, not today. Hammer and I concluded that solving world problems was best left for the crew at the scramble tomorrow.. Today, we simply survived, and that was more than enough!

  • 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.

  • Jackie Moon – from Jose10k

    It was a late night for YHC, having to work the gate for back to back volleyball games at Folsom. Hammer texted late which gave me the extra push to have my feet hit the floor this morning to workout. Turns out Hammer had a late night as well, playing basketball. I don’t know why, but I immediately thought of Will Ferrell in “Semi Pro”. It couldn’t escape me. So this backblast will continue accordingly…
    It was the crack of dawn, and the scene was set for another episode of “Jackie Moon’s Morning Madness” featuring *Hammer*, a.k.a. the Will Ferrell of fitness. Imagine a towering figure, looking like he just stepped out of *Semi-Pro*, hair probably a little too wild, and the attitude of someone who thought this was a casual stroll to the local Denny’s but accidentally stumbled into a boot camp.

    The route? Straight to the courthouse—because nothing says fitness like sprinting toward legal consequences. Once there, it’s not just your typical stair climb. Oh no, Hammer and his disciples decided hand-over-hand up the guard rails was the move. Maybe they thought they were auditioning for an action flick, or perhaps just figuring out how to avoid the cops they’d soon have to explain this to. Parkour was yesterdays theme at Grandma’s, so YHC decided to bring it to the courthous.

    At the bottom of the stairs, it was time for some Bulgarian split squats and step-ups. Three rounds total between the rails and the exercises at the bottom. Why? Because “Jackie Moon” believes in *more*. More squats, more ridiculousness, and apparently more pretending we’re not about to pass out.

    Then, a casual jog (with a strong undertone of regret) to the front of the courthouse for some dirkins (decline push-ups because regular push-ups aren’t punishing enough), penguins (flopping around pretending to work your abs), Freddy Mercury’s (because why not pay tribute to the legend mid-workout?), and *wife pleasers* (for reasons best left unexplained). All of this while Jackie Moon—sorry, Hammer—cheered us on with his infectious “You got this, baby! Feel the rhythm!”

    Next up:3 calf raises for every single step to the top. By now, we’ve lost count of the number of steps, breaths, and poor life choices. And to top it off, we had to pull a Lt. Dan back to the courthouse, which basically means more lunges than any reasonable human should ever have to endure.

    Finally, we moseyed back to the Gipper like exhausted, sweaty warriors, having faced the ultimate test: surviving Jackie Moon’s courthouse of pain.

  • Restless Legs – from Akbar

  • Celeste and Lisa’s Donkey Kick-Off on the Escalator – from Russo

    Great Saturday at the Lakefront

    Warmup (10x – 15x IC)
    Air presses
    Torso twists
    Self love
    Toe touches
    Grass grabbers
    Hillbillies
    High knees
    Seal jacks

    Thang: Mosey down Girod to the trailhead and back, stopping along the way for a round of “the escalator”, aka “Chewy’s Soduku. The concept: 10 exercises, 10 rounds. Rep count goes from 10 to 1. Next round: 10 rep count moves to 9, 9 moves to 8, rinse and repeat. At the end of 10 rounds, each of the 10 exercises will have been performed 55 times. Math!

    The exercises:
    Merkins
    Partner Merkins
    8 count body builders
    Donkey kicks
    Leg raises
    Gas pumps
    Jump squats
    Imperial squat walkers
    Star jumps
    Murder Bunnies

    Somewhere in the middle, to break up monotony and provide a little halftime entertainment, YHC challenged Bird to a “donkey kick-off”…select your winner and get it right, and you’re exempt from that round. The rules were not clear, nor was the starting gun, so despite YHC winning round 1, there was a round 2, won by Bird. Choosing to hedge the bet, we called it at a tie until further notice.

    Back at the flag, we wrapped up with the COT, Name-o-Rama, and prayer, welcoming FNG Cankles!

    Thank you all for participating in the now yearly tradition of forgoing at least one week of IronPax.

  • We’re Following the Leader Wherever He May Go – from Bushwacker

    The title says it all. The beat down consisted of consistent motion comprised of three minute rounds of following the leader wherever he goes, and doing whatever he does, with five second rests before the next man up. From parkour to Freak Nasty Scissoring (laces DOWN Dan!), we had a little bit of everything – all to the beat of Metallica’s drum. Bonus for not getting bit by the sleeping homeless guy’s guard dog, and Jose has an interesting new modification to T Stretches!

  • 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.
