  • Crazy 8’s – with a detour – from Reluctant Yankee

    A cold and damp gloom for a beatdown.

    Then we did a COP warmup
    SSH x 20, Imp Walkers x 10, Imp Walker Squats x 10, Hillbillies x 20 then Mtn Climbers x 20

    Mosey to the road that leads to the ZOO from Magazine.

    Mosey to the Birdwatcher statue (Audubon)
    Here we did a plank based exercise x 24 for each lap
    1. JLO 2. Plank Jack 3. Peter Parks 4. Park Peters

    Run back to the mid point of the 8. 12 hand release merks again.

    Mosey to the Magazine St entrance to the ZOO.

    Complete a full 8 and rotate the exercise on every loop – restart at the top of the list.
    I completed 6 loops. Others completed 7.

    At the end we did Low Country Crab x 20.

    Run back to the FLAG. At the FLAG – we planked for the 6.

  • B.O.M.B.S. Away at the Birdcage! – from Gabrielle

    Happy New Year’s Pax! It’s humbling for YHC to be Q’ing the first Birdcage of 2022. Here’s to 2022 being better than 2021 (it’s gotta be right?). So, with a disclaimer and a quick run-down of our 5 core principles and motto for our FNG we are off!
    Moseyed to the Soccer Field for Warm-Up
    • Imperial Walkers IC X15
    • Toe Taps IC X15
    • Self Love IC X15
    • Peter Parker’s IC X10
    • Parker Peter’s IC X10
    Mosey to Audubon statue and partner up for B.O.M.B.S all below counts are cumulative. PAX one runs around median while PAX two completes exercises. Flapjack till reps are complete.
    • 50 Burpees
    • 100 OH Press in People’s Chair
    • 150 Merkins
    • 175 Big Boy Sit-Ups
    • 200 Squats
    Next, mosey to track for a little Route 66:
    • Inch Worm to Body Bag Builders starting at 1 Plank Jack/Mountain Climber/Merkin upping 1 rep at each succeeding running man up to 11 running man for a total of 66 reps.
    Ran out of time, so called it with most PAX somewhere between 10 and 11th running man.
    Moseyed to flag for Count off, Name-o-rama (one FNG, DEB as his last name is Walmsley and Domincan is on Walmsley and he went to a lot of Debutante balls in the past), announcements, intentions and prayer.
    Thank you for letting me lead!

  • No Cancel Q! – from Sea Man

    Dropping temperatures buoyed our spirits as sixteen men of steel, 2 without sleeves posted in the first New Year’s freeze. All eager to show their metal, so much so Tinkles tried to steal my Q! Using some derogatory words, that I was feeble, gimpish, and have chronic halitosis, all of which is true, I would not be deterred!

    Off they went running like gazelles and me like Quasimodo.

    Quick warm up of IW, SSH, Arm Circles forward….and Reverse, into the plank position we pounced for 60 seconds of plank, 10 Mericans, 10 Peter Parkers, 10 Parker Peters, 10 more Mericans, and an additional 60 seconds of plank.

    A quick mosey to the shelter where we AMRAP through counts of 22-
    Left Leg Step Up
    Right Leg Step Up
    Left Leg Bulgarian SPLL
    Right Leg Bulgarian SPLL
    Dips
    Declines

    After each set we would lunge walk to Oak Alley and back!

    After completed a lap around the Alley, back for some Marry – LBCs, Box Cutters, Doctor W, Penguins

    Another lap around the Alley and some more Mericans and some more dips followed by the Alley.

    Last set was Merican Jacks, 4 plank jacks for every merican, sort of a Jack Web, followed by a call out marry, ending in pickle pounders of love!

  • end of time – from Jingle Vader
