  • Burpeepalooza: Heisenberg would’ve loved this one… – from Bolt

    It went like this: YHC showed up to the last “chapter” of the Tu pamphlet (book) club…sans BD where Boo-Boo remarked he had been slacking which was interpreted as a cry for accountability and who was I to not oblige!? Space Cowboy unwittingly dragged me into MABA Monday so I offered to Q Wednesday with a promise to deliver the RDA of burpees, penance for not doing anything Tu, and accountability to all pax posting.
    The gloom came after a short night of sleep and a very cold, windy morning to accompany my bad attitude and sore body (courtesy of Space Cowboy); the pax were counting on me and guilt/obligation brought me here. The playlist demanded what we’d do—Burpeepalooza!
    Warmorama with Mosey to JPAS, Rapper’s Delight (of course): Abe SLOWgodas, OH/Seal/FAC/RAC, Self Love, LSS, Willie Mays Hayes, SSH, Sampson Stretch, finish with 10 burpees IC even though the Q called 5 (do what I do/say during, not before the action…)
    The Thang: A group of songs requiring burpees on a certain word/phrase with different body movements for each song. Leveling up burpees between songs to honor Heisenberg. All pax did at least 155 burpees (playlist below), mosey back to flag and burpee on the six. COT

  • Burpee Ladder of No Regret – from Space Cowboy

    Weather: Temp 40 degrees with gusts up to 28 mph

    With the front barreling through the area, I did not expect many PAX when I arrived at Kennarie Ridge. But, it was no surprise that Bolt, Fracsac, and Kenna Brah showed up for our burpee BD in support of MABA. I gave the disclaimer and we headed to JPAX to seek shelter from the wind for our warmups:

    Samson Stretch x10
    Low Slow Squats x10
    SSH x20
    Forward Arm Circles x10
    Backwards Arm Circles x10
    Overhead Claps X10
    Imperial Walkers x10

    The Thang – Burpee Ladder (down only) of No-Regrets
    Start at front of JPAX
    15 burpees
    Run 400 feet to back of JPAX into the wind gusts!
    14 burpees
    Run 400 feet to front of JPAX
    13 burpees….
    Same pattern until we reached 1 burpee
    TOTAL: 120 burpees and 1 mile run

    KennaBrah then introduced an exercise that I cannot describe but we named it, Gluteus Rampus. Gluteus Rampus x 5. Ask Kenna Brah to demonstrate at your next workout or party!

    Headed back to flag with a mix of high knee claps and KOT. At flag, we completed several lunges and 15 more burpees bringing the total burpee count to about 135.

  • 2 Weeks is 2 Long! – from Bolt

    YHC had been under the weather and traveling, leading to too many fartsacks and too many excuses. Having had enough the call was made for HCs to Waning Wednesday at The Goldmine. Boo-boo was first to answer with a choice offered: The Goldmine or Pontiff and YHC texted with Pontiff…in the event he fartsacked so as not to leave Boo-boo solo. Space Cowboy HC’d which meant The Goldmine would prevail for both pax previously destined for Pontiff!
    Having started this whole thing, YHC prepped to Q—speaker and Frac’s favorite song in hand. Disclaimer and off to the warmup pad for LSS, Abe SLOWgodas, Tie Fighter R/L, SSH, Shoulder taps, PP/PP, OH claps.

    Mosey to JPAX via shuffle each direction, karaoke each direction, KnOT walk, Mosey, switching at each light pole.

    The Thang: KISS—ascending ladder BLIMPS (Burpees, Lunges, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats) with 10 step ups 2:1 after each letter:
    5 Burpees, step ups
    Add a letter and 5 reps to the count
    5 Burpees, 10 Lunges, step ups…
    …all the way to 30 Squats
    YHC had to pause several times for HR to drop below 160 before resuming as Space Cowboy lapped us, per usual.

    Mosey back to warmup pad for Mary, pax choice: LBCx30, Dying cockroachesx30, Protractor Penguins (this one sucked and WILL return)x5 at 15/90/45/15/45. Switch to AMRAP of pax choice while 30 sec. dead hang is timer: plank, xfactors, and close out time with high plank. COT

  • Veteran’s Day: 11/11 Must be 11s – from Bolt

    YHC fartsacked more than acceptable last week so seeing an empty Q sheet meant only one option—Q. The inscribed bat signal illuminated Slack and 4 pax headed the call, including a hobbled KB and a less and less rare Rev Sox return. Potable phone charger in hand at 5:29:57 and flag planted for the 5:30 disclaimer and mosey to warmup pad for Abe SLOWgodas, after which Charmin noted something was noticeably missing while silence was noticeably present—had enough of the 2.1a port fed the electronic overlord? “YES” was the answer—so JBL jumped to life with the requisite song to get us through the balance of the warmorama:
    R/L Tie Fighters x 10
    OH claps x 10
    Seal claps x 10
    MNC x 10
    Self Love x 10 (school Charmin on the nuanced difference from Michael Phelps)
    Open/close the gate x 5 of each/leg
    SSH x 20
    Mosey to JPAX for 11s on 11/11 which of course requires a playlist deviation (Sousa’s greatest hits)—and Frac missed it!

    The Thang:
    10 burpees
    Run up stairs
    1 box jump
    Run down ramp for –1/+1
    Circle 6 and recover

  • 11s + 1 Burpee buy-in – from Bolt

    YHC wanted to avoid another fartsack and put out the call in Slack for HCs in exchange for the Q—2 pax heeded the evening call AND actually showed up in the gloom!
