Jose has returned! Well, technically he was already on his third beatdown of the week (ok, as of this writing, his fourth), but for the Covington crew it was his grand homecoming. And he returned with tales of a mythical land where the sun never sets, the summer temps never …
With Jose away, the Pax will play – we took a break from the Purple Rain and dove into some Purple Haze on this hot and humid gloom, sweating it out to some 70’s classics (Yes, YHC had to adjust the playlist decade for the Covington crew, which skews slightly …
After a quick warmup, we grabbed the rain soaked coupons (which included some heavy monsters that Jose10K gifted to The Gipper), we deployed the deck – round robin style – with each pax drawing a card and choosing an exercise. We performed the card number of reps using the coupons. …
With the heat in mind YHC chose a self paced Tabata format. After a brief warmup of SSH Arm circles and Torso twists the thang consisted of 3 rounds of 7 exercises 1 minute work and 45 seconds rest. You pick your cadence but my suggestion was to opt for …
That was the refrain of the day after YHC called out, “Let’s get started,” and was met with a collective groan. Look, YHC isn’t even in the top 3 of the toughest Northshore Q’s (think Grundy, Hammer, hell, even Pickaxe/Chainsaw could give me a run for my money). Also, just …
YHC took the late Q last night, arriving to 8 HIM at the Gipper. Warm up: SSH, Smurf Jacks, Arm Circles, Self Love, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Windmills, Toe Touches Quick mosey to the Rockpile, 10 reps OYO of: Curls, Rows, Shoulder Press, Goblet Squat, Triceps Press, …
7 HIM took the red pill this morning to push themselves in this awful humidity. Einstein and YHC took off early for the prethang. A quick mile before the start of the beatdown. We returned to the flag to see 5 men eager to go, but something was missing. I …
My favorite part of Q’ing a Gipper beatdown? The disgusted look on Moby’s face when he finds out I have the Q and starts muttering obscenities under his breath. It warms my heart and makes me realize that some tiny part of me actually looks forward to being Moby’s age. …
Big thanks to Moby for having the Tabata timer available this gloom as the YHC came less prepared.. 6 PAX converged on the corner by the gravel pit after warmups of 20IC/10IC Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, SSH, Cherry pickers, Arm circles, Good mornings and Mummy kicks.. 30 secs work, 20 secs …
Good group of seven today at The Gipper Warmup: toe touch, side straddle hops, arm circles, imperial walkers, scissors, hillbillies, hi jack hi jills, smurf jacks, etc. Thang: 3 sets of coupon work interspersed with downtown trapezoid runs. Fletch prayed us out. +3
