Tax Man Cometh

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SHH, IW, squats, run a lap in silence to remember Liza Fletcher. Lady from Memphis that was kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered while out on her morning run. She was a friend of my sisters and this hit home for me.

THE THANG: 3 rounds max reps you vs partner. A 100 dash was the timer for each exercise for each person. Upon completion of the exercise each person shared their total rep count. The person with the fewest reps had to do Burpees. Total number of burpees was the rep count differential after each exercise.
Round 1: curls, Uhauls, swings
Round 2: hammer curls, squats, tri extensions
Round 3: merkins on the bell, deadlifts, lawnmower pulls

Bonus: Sugar bug and Slash teamed up to tie every round. As a result they received burpee penalties every round.

My merkin form was called into question by Band Camp. I think this is purely a result of his kettlebell weight being 52lbs vs my 45lb. Band Camp had burpee penalties every round 🙂

KB Mashup

Leave a comment

7 showed up this morning at the Hive to the sound of Garth Brooks. Uhaul knows how much I dislike it so he made sure it was playing loud. We debated on what music to play for a bit and settled on 90’s Alternative.
Warm-ups consisted of several dynamic arm and leg stretches along with a plank routine to stretch out the back and hips.
The Mash-Up:
Each routine consisted of three exercises in each set with the fourth combining all three exercises. Here are the five routines:
• HALO
• ROUND THE WORLD
• SMURF ROTATION
• COMBO

• RACKED SQUAT
• RACKED LUNGE
• CALF RAISE
• COMBO

• PLANK PULL THROUGH
• ROW
• CURL
• COMBO

• SWING
• WINDMILL
• SHOULDER PRESS
• COMBO

• GOBLET SQUAT
• SKULL CRUSHER
• LBC
• COMBO (Most difficult, from squat transition to ground and back up to your feet after LBC)

First round 10 reps, second round 5 reps with some running in between rounds. Lots of discussion about Ben and JLO and their movie careers.
Great job everyone!

It was a beautiful morning in The Fort for 9 HIM to get decked by the cards of pain!

Quick warmup and off to the cards. The weinke was as follows:

A = Run a lap
K = Murder Bunny with Bell
Q = Bear Crawl with Bell
J = 10 Man Makers
♦️ = Curls
❤️ = V-Ups
♠️ = Snatch
♣️ = Squats

We got through 75% of the deck, but there was 100% of pain.

Not Bunny Hopping Any More

Leave a comment

WARMUP: run 1 lap around the perimeter of the parking lot. Circle up, Moroccan nightclubs, low slow squats, windmills.

THE THANG: Due to Quack Attack’s car, we had to start at the dark red lightning bolt. (See attached high tech AO recreation software) First call was to bunny hop suicides. After traveling to the first light, that was an extremely dumb idea. Modified to lunges. We would stop at each light pole, marked by the yellow circles. We would do 10 swings at each light, drop the bell and run back to the red lightning bolt, traveling in the direction of the blue arrow for the first. 10 merkins at the starting point and run to our bells. 10 merkins before advancing our bells via lunge walks now. 10 swings and run back to the start. 10 merkins at the start and run to the bell for 10 more merkins before lunge walking to the other side of the parking lot.

Next we gathered at the red hexagon. We would send 1 person to run the direction of the pink arrow to the other end of the parking lot and back. They were the timer.
The exercises we did:
Curls
Z – Press (with discussion about how it doesn’t look like a Z)
Chest Press
Calf raises
Swings
Squats
(In no particular order)

Next we gather at the location of the green arrow and did a similar suicide iteration at the first. This time we did overhead carry and squats. Merkins at the green arrow and again before advancing the bell with the overhead carry.

Did a couple moseys to the far end of the parking lot. Some people were chatting so called some burpees to grab the attention again.

Next we did some more calf raises to get these Pax ready for the Clave Boss!

Did another mosey and then some dynamic cool down, including toy soldiers, regular mosey and karaoke.

MARY: Airborne Hip thing and 1 last mosey
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10 year, Christmas party, BBQ CSAUP, Final Countdown
COT: Stays in COT.

600 lb Coupon with Better Music

WARMUP:
Mozy round the lot.  Old man windmills.  Mountain Climbers. Merkins.  Diamond Merkins.  Wide arm merkins.  Low slow Squats.
THE THANG:
Split up into pairs. One pair of PAX serves as the timer for a set of exercises. One PAX hops on and steers an ATV in neutral gear with no power while the other PAX pushes it down the parking lot for about 80 yards. At the turn around point, they switch places and race back to the starting line. Targeted average time is about 80 seconds. While the timers are doing their thang, remaining PAX are working a list of exercises:
KB Swings
KB Squats
Chest Press
Man makers
Thrusters
Triceps extension
Upright Row
Once all 4 pairs of PAX complete their turn as the timer, the PAX with the winning time planks while everyone else pays a 15 burpee penalty.
MARY: Dead bug, heel taps, LBC, box cutters, big boy sit ups and the finisher: Airborne’s hip exercises.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2 CSAUPs coming in Sep and Oct.
