  • Murph Training 75-150-225 – from Hokie

    8 Pax fought mosquitos to get in 15 rounds of 5 pull ups, 10 push ups & 15 squats in 2 minutes 40 seconds or less each round with 20 seconds minimum rest between rounds I.e. Tabata

  • Murph Training Week 3 – from Triple Shift

    Started off with a warmup and then did 3/6/9/12 (pullups, merkins, squats, and lbc) in 2 min intervals and went up to 7/14/21/28 for round 1. From there we did a mosey around the parking lot then did 3/6/9/12 (pullups, merkins, squats, and leg lifts) in 2 min intervals and went up to 6/12/18/24. From there we did a modified Quadrafilia. Run backwards up the levee and then run back down for 5 burpees x 4. Finished off with with a countoff, namerama, COT, and a very beautiful sunrise!

  • H8 wet feet – from Hokie

    YHC is known for his dislike of wet feet so there was some concern after last night’s rain as to whether I would continue Murph training at The House of Pain or opt to plan B.

    As I arrived, Backed Up was excited for Murph Training and announced he brought a heavy duty band to aide in pull ups. Well, out with my Plan B and we started our saunter over to the House of Pain with phone lights aiding in our attempt to keep our feet dry.

    After an explanation of The Murph, and Murph training, we took care of the disclaimer and welcome and started our warm up with SSH, high knees and arm circles.

    We then started with 2 minutes to complete 3 pull ups, 6 hand release merkins and 9 squats and then rest for the remaining time.

    Then onto more 2 minutes rounds for 4-8-12; 5-10-15; 6-12-18; 7-14-21 and finally 8-16-24

    We then took time to recover by introducing Pax to additional preparation with Bolt 45 and 1 minute of speed humpers

    Next 2 minutes was set to just complete 8 pull ups and 16 hand release merkins

    Another two rounds of Bolt 45, speed humpers and 8-16 with 1 minute low slow squats between sets

    For our final stint in The House of Pain, 3 Pax would hang for 1 minute while the remaining Pax did an exercise… 1st group, hand release Merkins for “non-hangers”; 2nd group- squats; and 3rd group – burpees.

    We then moseyed to the H8 hill because part of The Murph is running. We would run the H8 route of up the hill; Bear crawl across, run down, across & up; bear crawl across; run down and across to complete figure 8.

    YHC has decided Murph training will now be 5-10-15 rinse and repeat to 60 pull ups, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 over the next few weeks

  • Murph Week 3 ~ with a little “H8” running – from Hokie

    YHC struggled getting out of bed this AM and came in hot at 0529 for the 0530 Q

    Earlier in the week, I posted asking who wanted to continue with Murph training and who wanted to train for the H8. The brief discussion had one vote for Murph and no votes for H8 so off top the “House of pain” we 5 moseyed.

    Two minute intervals
    2-4-6; 3-6-9, 4-8-12, 5-10-15, 6-12-18 and 7-14-21 (Pull Ups – Merkins – Squats) after completion on the three exercises; rest for the remainder of the two minutes.

    Effort was called upon to focus on form with full extension and chin above the bar on pull ups.

    After the 6th round of 7 pull ups, 14 merkins and 21 squats, we ran to the home of the H8 for one “lap” running up the hill, bear crawl across the neutral ground, run down the far side and across and back up, bear crawl across the neutral ground, then run down toward Lake Pontchartrain and back to the house of pain for round 2.

    After round 2, we ran to the Mardi Gras Fountain and back to the flag for 10 burpees and one final lap around the Mardi Gras Fountain.

    Thank you to Mahatma for the tunes and encouragement!

    Thanks to all pax along with some assists for those of us who need to cross our legs and get assistance with pull ups.

    Next week 3-6-9, 4-8-12, 5-10-15, 6-12-18, 7-14-21 AND 8-16-24 and a Double H8 run!!! I will bring the bands for those who need assistance with pull ups.

  • When Kuch is away, the PAX will play (aka fartsack) – from Baywatch

    Pothole and Saban joined YHC on a perfect morning at the Lakefront. I was a little surprised upon arrival to see no PAX given that it was the off week for Broga. Then a car pulled up and I asked Saban and he replied simply, “Kuch is out of town.” No more needed to be said. If your not aware, Kuch is the unofficial PAX herder for Lakeview. When he’s away, we apparently stray (not that I can say much as I’ve fartsacked my fair share lately).

    Nonetheless, three strong we moseyed around the fountain and stopped for a warmup. 25 SSH, 15 merkins, 15 Peter Parkers, 10 Abe Vagodas, 10 Grass Grabbers.

    Since RCR is done and Memorial Day will be here before we know it, it’s never to early to start getting ready for The Murph. So we moseyed over to the House of Pain. 5 rounds w/ each round including 5 pull ups, bear crawl up hill, 5 squats, run down, 5 burpees, bear crawl back up, 5 squats, run down and start over.

    Next we moseyed over to Canal Blvd and did some 4 corners with ascending reps each round—7 reps, 14 reps, and then 21. Corner 1 was shoulder taps, corner 2 was merkins, corner 3 was Jlos, and corner 4 was BBS.

    Then we moseyed back to the flag for some Mary at COT. Thanks gents!

  • The One and Only – from Baywatch

    Apparently all the other PAX went to stretch their groins this morning at broga. So I grabbed my ruck out of the the car and carried heavy stuff for 45 minutes and finished with some pull-ups at the House of Pain…you know, man stuff. Okwata 4life 💪

  • Dora what? – from Cracklin

    A nice change of pace from the chilly morning; today was t-shirt and burpee weather for the 11 PAX that joined. And Burpees we did! We also had a group of extracurricular runners who completed a 2-mile pre run before joining us. But the gloom gives no extra credit!

    Started off with warm-ups at the lakefront
    SSHx20
    Imperial Walkersx15
    Arm Circles x15
    Arm Circles back x15
    Grass Grabbersx15

    Got on our faces for the 2nd half of warmup
    Peter Parkersx15
    Mountain Climbers x15
    8-count body builders x10

    Then Mosey’d our way over to the road portion of the levee( ya’ll know, I never do grass workouts!).
    We ran a set of DORA’s
    100 burpees
    200 Merkins
    300 flutter kicks
    Then mosey’d back to the lakefront and finished off with some extra difficult Mary.
