  • The dynamic duo! – from Jose10k

    There are undoubtedly some amazing duos in history: Marlin and Dory from Finding Nemo.
    SpongeBob and Patrick, Rick and Morty, Shrek and Donkey, Troy and Abed, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, Thelma & Louise, Bonnie and Clyde, Han Solo & Chewbacca , Batman and Robin, Mario and Luigi, C-3PO and R2-D2, Bert and Ernie, and Tom and Jerry. However, none can compare to how famous the duo of Jose10K and Moby are at the a1C. Okay, maybe not famous, perhaps notorious.
    Here’s the Thang: Due to a beatdown at the gipper, young Moby needed some extra stretching to get going this morning. We did some epic Yoga to start everything off.
    The Thang: 4 corners.
    7 Merkins at each corner, 14 freak nasties, 21 copperhead squats, 28 lunges.
    We ended it with some more deep stretches.
    COT, and I prayed us out.
    Always great conversations moby!

  • Only 2 at the A1C – from Fletch

    Took a shooter workout and modified it a bit. Jump rope at the bottom of the ramp, chains at the top, kettle bell at the other end. 60-40-20 reps at each station while partner 2 did 10-20-30 of chest, core, and lunges . Four rounds total, and it was time. No one from Atlanta showed up here either Russo

  • Die Hard is a Christmas Movie, and Holy Crap it’s cold out here. is it cold out here. – from Jose10k

    After the warmups, the PAX moseyed to the courthouse. The tragedy at Nakatomi plaza occurred on Christmas Eve, and we gathered today to honor the hero of Nakatomi: John McClain. The event occurred on the the 30th floor, so that’s where we started. 30 merkins, 30 squats, 30 big boy sit-ups, 30 leg lifts. In between each exercise ran the length of the courthouse leading up to the stairs, up the stairs and then back down. We now stopped at the front of the courthouse stairs. ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring,except for the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two formation.
    Paired up. Partner one : lunge walk to the bushes and back, partner 2= holds an al gore . Repeat.
    The terrorists planned to use C4 to blow up Nakatomi Tower. The PAX completed in cadence 15 reps of these 4 “c”ore exercises: lbcs, flutter kicks, Freddy Mercury’s, and cowbells favorite: crunchy frogs.
    Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.
    Famous line from the air ducts: time to do some ac duct crawling, while partner 2 does squats. Side not, ac duct crawling no fun when you hit the acorns. Once the pax was finished we ran 1 lap around the entire courthouse. Back to the parking garage to do 5 calf raises each step back to the second floor to do a Hans Gruber pull-up: the pax hung from the raptors for 30 seconds. back to the stair well to do 5 calve raises each to the top. And time was up. Cot, Russo prayed us out. Thoughts and prayers to my father-in-law, my niece and brother-in-law. And to further celebrate the heroics of John McClain, a yell of Yippie Ki-yay Motherfu**er. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman

  • A1C Cornucopia – from Einstein

    A cool 39.5 degrees at 5:15 a.m. atop the Justice Center Parking Garage. With the air so fresh, even a gaseous pax would prove ineffective.

    Warmup:
    all 20xIC: numerous
    then, off to the ramp for a backward run down the ramp, out to the street and up the stairs returning to our starting point

    Thang:
    using parking lot stipes as our template, and the four corners for core exercise pit stops, we did even more numerous things – hard to believe.

    All had fun

    Count-o-rama

  • 11’s and missing Einstein! – from BBQ

    A mighty 3 at the A1C. A light mist at the start. Nothing to stop this PAX. The usual 11 warmups and 11 reps each. We moved to the top ramp and did 11’s. We started with 1 burpee at the top and 10 copperhead squats below and went 11 times. The way down was a run zig zagging between the posts. Lateral slides were added twice. The way up was mostly back peddling. The last run up was a sprint half way and coast the rest of the way. An Einstein favorite was done. A star jack every third parking line and add one stack each time. The total reached 10 on the last line. 11 freak nasties and one minute of LBC’s. Namerema went quick. Moby Dick prayed us out.

  • STARjacks and STRIPES at the A1C – from Einstein

    A cool 41 degrees at 5:15 a.m. atop the Justice Center Parking Garage. With the air so fresh, it would make a can of Febreze blush.

    Warmup:
    all 20xIC: ToeTouch, SideStraddleHops, ShoulderRolls, ButtKicks, Swimmers, HighKneees, NeckRolls, Scissors(BBQ excels at this), WindMills, One Minute of RockyBalboas

    Then off to the ramp for a serpentine run down the ramp, followed by a serpentine backpeddle up the ramp, more or less in an Indian Run fashion.
    And for the record, I’m lobbying to have the “Indian Run” renamed to “First Citizen Run.”

    Thang: using parking lot stipes as our template, and the four corners for core exercise pit stops:

    Round One: Lunge Walk forward two parking spaces and Lunge Walk backward one parking space – traversing the whole uppper deck
    at the corners; iron crosses, hello-dollies, rosalittas, front-to-back leg swings

    Round Two: StarJack Jump at ever-other parking stipe, increasing the jump count by one every-other stripe; (first stripe 1 jump, next stripe 2 jumps,
    next stripe 3 jumps…) – traversing the whole uppper deck
    at the corners; across-the-body leg swings, merkins, shoulder tap merkins, crawl bear

    Count-o-rama

    Always good to hear the banter and mumble chatter at F3 – just like a bunch of brothers, which we are.

  • Black Friday shopping – from Jose10k

    Okay, I’ll be honest, between Einsteins skater workout on Wednesday and the Turkey Trot yesterday, yhc legs were at bit jello. So our Black Friday shopping spree involved mostly upper body. Following a nice warm up of various stretches and exercises, we lined up for our Friday deals. First, we brought the coupons to add to the money saving opportunities. We had alternate merkins, rows, and curls for those customers waiting in line, while shopper 1 made a loop around the store in whatever fashion they choose. Most picked a light jog around, some skipped, back peddled, sprinted, and when I say some, I mean just hogs breath. 4 rounds of that, fireman carry your coupon back to the gipper, followed by a slow walk back to the top. Cot, Hog prayed us out. Syitg gentlemen!

  • If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe I’d been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? – from Jose10k

    6 crazy HIM braved the cold weather this morning to join for a wacky 90s inspired musical. I reached out to the Mandvillians, and they didn’t disappoint. We even were blessed by a wonderer from Slidell. Warm-ups: SSH, self love, grass grabbers, cherry pickers, torso twists, hello jacks hello jills, and high knees all IC TEN count.

    The thang: First song: Cotton Eye Joe as promised. A very Hammer inspired workout to this song. SSH during the song while doing a burpee every time Cotton Eye Joe was mentioned. After that was done, switched the music to a little classic rock, to do a little modified dora. Partner 1 back pedaled halfway across the parking garage, the ran the rest to the other side. Back pedaled half way again, then ran back to the starting point. Then partner two did the same. Each partner had to complete 100 crunches and 200 squats. They got to tag team to do 300 merkins. We circled up to do 10 minutes of Mary, round robin style. Each person called out their own exercise. The music included Aqua’s “Barbie girl”, Haddaway’s “What is Love”. A great selection of 90s classic music. COT and Hammer led us out in prayer. Thank y’all for letting me lead on this chilly morning. I am better because of my brothers. SYITG

  • THE CARD GAME CONTINUES AT THE A1C – from Einstein

    The fog was so thick this morning, BBQ’s wife wouldn’t let him leave the house.
    Which is too bad, as he would have excelled at the river dance routine that we performed

    Warmup:
    all 15xIC: Toe Touch, Side Straddle Hops, Shoulder Rolls, Snap-Crackle-Pops(aka neck rolls), Imperial Walkers, Hillbillys, etc

    Thang:
    With Deck of Cards, each pax is assigned their suit: Moby-spades, Jose10K-clubs, Invisible Man-hearts, Einstein-diamond
    And with a few rules;
    #1, one at a time, each pax draws a card, the owner of that suit calls out an exercise of their choice and we do that number on the card
    #2, you can’t lay on the ground like a lazy f@t b*st#rd after being on your six, you had to get up for each card pulled
    #3, if the same suit gets pulled in consecutive order, the face amount doubles, triples, etc

    Joker #1 – back-peddle around the upper deck
    Joker #2 – mosey down the stairs and two calf raises per step up the stairs

    Count-o-rama
