  • D-Day Tribute and Remembrance – from Fracsac

    11 Pax posted to the Renaissance on their journey to get right.
    A short history lesson was provided on the 5 beaches stormed on D-Day 77 years ago today, with Americans assigned to Utah and Omaha. With a shovel flag planted, disclaimer was given, then mosey for:

    Warmup

    SSH IC x 31
    GG IC x 10
    Abe Vigodas x 10
    Bat wings with AC, OC, SC, MNC
    Peter Parkers IC x 15

    Mosey to the grassy field and circle up:

    Count off and remember your number.

    13 x 8 count body builders IC

    Time for EMOM:
    6 rounds of 10 burpees, 1 round of 7 burpees
    Looks like we missed 77 total, so 10 more OYO for good measure.

    Embrace the Suck
    7 rounds of 7 reps each to commemorate the 77th anniversary:
    Bobby Hurley’s, Merkins, LBC

    Ring of Fire:
    10 squats, do Whacky Jacks while waiting.
    10 Bobby Hurleys, do Goofballs while waiting

    Mosey to tree line. Bear crawl to tree 1, 5 Merkins and run back. Bear crawl to tree 2, 5 Merkins and run back. Bear crawl to tree 3, 5 Merkins and run back.

    Circle up for mental challenge:

    Asked 2 pax for numbers, instructions were to SSH for first number IC, then SSH for second number in silence and stop with the Q. Penalty was 10 burpees. Spoiler alert, we did 10 burpees. Tried again, explaining that now with 100 burpees, there doesn’t have to be a penalty. We did 5 more burpees. We needed to get to the Sunday Mornings!

    Mosey to back of NOMA for Sunday Mornings!

  • Da Plane! Da Plane! – from Fracsac

    9 Pax made a choice to take the DRP on their journey to get right and posted to the Westward Ho!!
    There was a new theme for the beat down that had all pax rejoicing! Anytime an airplane was heard, all would do 10 burpees. With a shovel flag planted, disclaimer was given, then mosey for:

    Warmup

    Airplane! 10 burpees OYO

    Mosey to the levee. Start off with Jacob’s Ladder:

    Run up levee, 2 burpees, back down
    Continue up to 7.

    Mosey to a grassy area for a pax choice. YHC asked Bogey to choose between M and J. With M being the choice, it was time for:

    Motivator! Basically a deconstructed SSH from sets of 10 down to 1. #CrowdPleaser

    Next Papa Smurf was asked to choose between J and S. He couldn’t pass up the J, so:

    Jack Webbs

    2 Merkins, 4 air presses
    Continue up to 10 Merkins and 20 air presses.

    Plane!! 10 burpees

  • Sunday Morning w/ Cindy and Bruce – from Catfish

    Hot and Ready at the Renny w/ 6 PAX.

    Started hot out the gates on the museum steps with 25 8-count bodybuilders. On to faces for a plank-o-rama with Peter Parkers, Plank Jacks, Shoulder Taps, and Parker Peters.

    Moseyed to foundry. Got in a ring of fire with Al Gores and Bonnie Blairs, then did 5 rounds of Cindy Crawford (5 pull-ups, 10 merks, 15 squats, 20 calf raises, 25 LBCs). They went for a round of Bruce Lees (American Hammers, Leg Lifts, LBCs, Crunchy Frog, Penguins, and 100s).

  • RED – Tribute to the 141 and the 256 – especially Army Specialist SPC Jean-Paul Tujague Jr – from Hokie

    Technically Army Specialist SPC Jean-Paul Tujague Jr is in the 141st (Washington Artillery) which is attached to the 256th Infantry Brigade, so we paid tribute and respect with 141 Merkins and 256 Big Boy Sit Ups… broken down into six rounds.

    We started at the gathering point and moseyed to the rock pile and then onto the tree lines field.

    Round 1 – 16 Merkins, run across field from one tree line by baseball field to the other tree line near the gym lot, 26 Big Boy Sit Ups (BB), run back across the field, grab your rock and do shoulder presses waiting on the 6.

    Round 2 – 25 Merkins, run across, 30 BB, run across, grab rock for curls waiting on the six

    Rounds 3-5 — 25 Merkins, run, 50 BB, run and use rock while waiting on six with triceps (round 3), rows (round 4) and chest presses (round 5).

    Round 6 – 25 Merkins, Run, 50 BB, and stay in lot doing Side Straddle Hops waiting on the six.

    While in lot, we planked and bird dogged for 14.1 seconds and then again for 25.6 seconds.

    We then ran back to gather our rocks and return towards the rock pile for 25 (.6 was silent) more chest presses and (14 (.1 was silent) box CUTTER’S with our rocks overhead..

    Mosey back to the Flag for Mary and COT. At request of Boo Boo, Penguins saved us after Jay-Lo’s by Scantron.

    Special gratitude to all those who serve!

    Thank you for allowing this old man the opportunity to lead.

  • A Well Thought Out & Executed Fountain Beatdown – from Da Parish

    YHC is well known for his well-planned and thoughtful beatdowns. This would be nondifferent.
    W/U – Lap around Mardi Gras Fountain and circle up in the lawn.
    • SSH
    • IW
    • HB
    • AC
    • MC
    The Thang
    • Mosey around Mardi Gras Fountain. Pick out a plaque and remember it. Circle back up on the lawn where the Q will ask you which Krewe you have chosen. The Q will then conduct an exercise that begins with the same letter as that Krewe. Since YHC has a vast knowledge of the Exicon, this would prove to be so simple that even the freshest of PAX could do it. Right?
    • Line up on the light post on the Lake for BLIMPS. Suicide to each blue light post and back performing the exercise and increasing in increments of 10 for each light post (Big Boy Sit Up, Lunge, Imperial Walker, Merkin, Plank Jacks, Squats)
    • Circle on the Lake for Mary
    Counterama, Namerama, COT
    NMS – Welcomed an FNG, Yezzy and congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy.
    Thank you for the opportunity to lead,
    Da Parish

    Warmup by starting a 1/2 mile mosey around the boat launch area and circle up near the stairs at the levee for:

    NMM

    • Two flags and the Freedom Hammer were present. One Flag was carried the whole route and planted prior to each evolution.

    • We did a good bit of the original workout from the BB shared by OBT. Some things were intentionally left out, and some were intentionally added. MABA!

    • The following was read at the Jacob’s Ladder – “Blood, Sweat, Toil & Beer (to bastardize a great phrase) will breed a deep regard called Brotherhood. If you give yourselves to this endeavor, you will find it, and it will find you. I hope you reach a point today or next Saturday – where you want to quit. So, in the union of men, “you against you” becomes a public and/or common struggle. It’s here you will see there is much more in you that you’ve withheld – or in your weakness you’ve rationalized away.
    It’s time, but if you don’t care, we won’t care either. What’s it gonna be, son??”

    • That’s 115 Burpees + 10 x 8 count body builders done!

    • It was challenging to find a place for coffeteria at 0630 on New Years Day!

    • EH someone that needs F3 as much as you did!

    Thanks for posting with me and for allowing me to be part of something incredible!
