Pre-Mardi Paws Beat Down!

With port-o-potties, white tents, and police barricades surrounding the AO, the 5 Pacs that showed up knew that a post Mardi Gras parade was coming, so let’s get this beat down started. Warmarama 21’s- Q starts off exercise in cadence up to 5. From there, everyone is quite as a …

The Mande Monkey-Humpers

Our regularly scheduled Saturday foreplay became irregular this morning, with both Shooter and Bushwacker respecting the time a little too much, misremembering the start time as 0600 rather than 0610.  A bewildered Tanked Up watched from his car as PAX would randomly show up and take off in different directions.  This …

Super Bowl Saturday

A little foreplay, a short disclaimer and then off to the races this morning on Super Bowl Saturday. 52 reps of Seal Jacks, Mountain Climbers and Imperial Walkers, all in cadence, for a warmup. Mosey to the first COP for: 10 count Al Gore, 10 copperhead squats, and 10 vertical …

The Inagural Northshore Krazy Ivan CSAUP went off as planned, sort of.  The Northshore …

Winter Soldiers

Knowing that it was going to be cold on the Mandeville Lakefront this morning, YHC cast about late Friday for an appropriate pearl of wisdom to drop on the PAX.  Almost instantly, Thomas Paine’s immortal words from the American Revolution came mind: These are the times that try men’s souls.  …

Field of Dreams

“Shoeless” Joe Jackson:  “Is this Heaven?” Ray Kinsella:  “No, it’s Iowa.” YHC has never been to Iowa.  He has, however, been to Baton Rouge….Saturday morning as a matter of fact…and has to admit that Highland Park is beatdown heaven.  If we build it in Baton Rouge, they will come…just like …

7 COOL DUDES

“temperature wise that is, not demeanor” 6 Pax showed up on time 1 Pax showed up late AGAIN. I won’t mention his name. But he likes to sidle-up. I was reminded of my university P.E. class, taught by the basketball coach. The DIV I basketball players would always straggle in …
