  • Cycles – from Tinkles

    The gloom was in full effect and the park was so wet that ducks were hanging around like it was the marsh. To keep the pax dry and out of duck poop we stuck to the running loop.

    Warm ups: SSH, FAC, RAC, Grassgrabbers, Windmills

    The Thang:

    Indian run with a hault after one or two cycles through the runners. After the cycle, stop for an excesse. As we went we covered 1) mountain climbers, Peter Parker’s, Parker Peters 2) Merkin ring of fire 3) Squats 4) Burpees 5) Incline merkins, RLSU, Dips, LLSU, decline merkins 6) squat jumps 7) Russian twists 8) LBTs 9) Big boy sit ups 10) Pull ups and then back to the flag.

    Intentions for remembering time with family during holiday chaos and a safe New Years Eve.

  • Field Trip – from Tinkles

    After the excitement of last weeks Q vs Q the pax showed up expecting another well organized beat down. Much to everyone’s surprise there was no Q. After brief shrugs I was appointed and off we went!

    Warm up in front of Loyola:

    Grass grabbers, imperial walkers, and SSHs complete.

    BLIMPS down the Avenue. A progression of BLIMPS at each cross street to Daneel Park.

    Lovely grass in the park made a great location for burpee and jump squat ring of fire. Voluntary Mary followed.

    Back down St. Charles with run sprint alternating at cross streets. Cross street with a stop light: 5 burpees.

    Bench work at the fountain: advanced wife pleasers (as if!), right and left leg power ups, decline merkins, dips.

    COT: gratitude for great weather, prayers for hurricane victims in FL, thanks for each other!

  • Dirty Mac with Tropicana – from Reluctant Yankee

    Today YHC had a chance to meet and greet one of guys DR from F3 Knoxville. Love the F3 network and its fun to see how this group is connected across the Nation. When we really got moving with this thing 10 years ago next month – it was a perk I didn’t even consider.

    Gathering at the park entrance – early for me – I am usually catching up kind of late. Tropicana had the chance to meet a few PAX.
    Quick disclaimer and off we went.

    Ran to Wolfpack Mtn right away. At the base we did a warmup circle of pain.
    SSH, Imp Walker Squats, Mtn Climbers, and Dying Roach x 20

    Up the stairs to 7. Started our modified DIRTY MACDEUCE.
    Lunges, Plank Jacks, Shoulder Taps, and Backwards lunges x 20
    Down the BOB MARLEY staircase – WEED smell was DANK.
    Up the regular staircase.

    Arrived at FLOOR 6 to avoid the puddles this time.
    Our man from KNOXVILLE stepped up for a COP
    We did BBQ Squats, TIE FIGHTER L/R arm cicles, SLOW 3-PT SQUATS with Toe Touch x 20, and one more that my brain can’t remember
    Tclaps to Tropicana for stepping up to teach us how they do it in Gnarly Knoxville

    Back down Bob Marley staircase and up the regular staircase.

    Arrived at FLOOR 6 again. Notice a cooler weather in the air.
    Backwards lunges, Monkey humpers, Hip Dips and Flutter kicks x 20
    another lap

    Back to FLOOR 6. Down the dank stairs up the regular stairs.
    We did 20 jump squats OYO, 20 hand release merks OYO, Nolan Ryans x 20, and Freddie Mercury x 20
    Down the regular stairs avoiding the Dank Stank stairwell.

    To the benches for Step UPs L/R, and Dips.
    Back to Flag.

    Cool crisp summer moring. Thanks for the opportunity to Q.
    You guys get me up in the AM and I appreciate you.
    Tclaps to Tropicana for joining us!

  • Resist the PSL – from Sea Man

    PSL’s are coming and only a gun show will stop them!

    Mosey around the lot to pickup late arrivals Tube Steak and Willie (of course) and to the field in front of the zoo for standard warm up and Tantric Arm Circles.

    On to the statue for the Dora
    100 Shoulder Taps 2:1
    200 Dips
    300 Inclined Mercs

    Followed it up with Lunge back pedal around the loop while partner did LBCs, LBT to the Right, LBT to the left.

    Back to the field for Jack Web’s. After much whining about 10 we finished our 10 tantric Arm Circles and on to the flag.

  • March of the Penguins – from Willie

    As the month of March approaches its end, so does the March of the Penguins CASUP (1000 Penguins per day in the month of March). Special shout out to @Sandbar, and @Sogo for accompanying me on this journey. Also, a big thank you to the Qs this month who added extra penguins to their workout. That does not included @Douille who did 3 total penguins at Misty Mountain last Saturday.

    Yours truly rolled into the workout right at 5:30AM, dressed in a Penguin onesie, with Welcome to the Jungle blaring on the bluetooth speaker. My standard music rules applied. The PAX can skip a song with a 10 burpee penalty for the entire group. After the standard disclaimer, we moseyed to the field for a warm up, all in cadence.

    SSH x 20
    Imperial Walkers x 20
    Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters x 15 each
    Self Love OYO for 1 minute
    Arm Circles Reverse/Forward x 10
    Hillbillies x 20

    The PAX then made it’s way to the statue in front of the zoo, and partnered up for a not so traditional DORA. The only exercise was 600 Penguins 2/1. Partner 1 ran the small loop while Partner 2 banged out penguins. We had 2 skips during the DORA, resulting in 20 burpees. The skipped songs were “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi and “Spoon Full of Sugar” from the Mary Poppins sound track.

    The next transition was a run to the bandstand where the PAX circled up on stage for the Name That Tune challenge. The songs on this playlist are all songs that we know and love, but they are sung in a Lounge Singer style by the one and only Richard Cheese. The PAX did 30 Penguins 2-1 while the song played, then the PAX to the left had to guess either the song title OR the original artist. Get it right and we continue with penguins, a wrong answer gets the PAX 20 merkins. Some of the songs played were hits like, “Baby Got Back”, “Gin and Juice,” “Brass Monkey,” and “Been Caught Stealing” just to name a few. The PAX did pretty well as we only had 2 wrong answers resulting in 40 merkins. With 6:15AM approaching we made our way back to the flag for the standard COT.

    It is a pleasure to lead these men in a workout, and I appreciate the PAX indulging me in my crazy ideas.
