Parting is such sweet sorrow

Leave a comment

Tomahawk came with one mission and one mission only, to take ass and kick names. It has been a great few months reviving this long forgotten relic. I can’t think of a better way to send Tomahawk back to the depths than with todays Gladiator Games.

It renewed my faith in the pax that they aren’t ALL squishy. Sure some still cant do a proper lunge (Bandcamp), but I saw hope. Hope that pax don’t stay complacent, hope that harder AOs like Tallawah and Kitchen Sink become the new norm, and hope that we will continue to push each other.

Who knows, maybe Tomahawk will be needed again one day. But for now… Birdcage signing off

2 is better than 1

WARMUP: There was none….warmups are for amateur’s
THE THANG:
Like most good things, it all started with watching YouTube the night before. A lady far superior in fitness said she had a simple yet effective routine to get swole. Her best time for completing the set was 18 minutes. My thoughts were surely we could do it in 45….

10 rounds of: 10 swings, 10 squats, 1 Turkish Get up each side. Then we jogged a lap in the parking lot

We had to mossey back to COT and get the last set with 1 minute to spare….and we didn’t get the final run in. So yes, we completed the routine kinda. But we were also bested by about 30 minutes from the random lady on YouTube.

The one where No One showed

Leave a comment

I arrived at the AO around 0500. Usually there are some prerunners. Set out my gear and started checking the date and time and Slack. Where was everyone? 0513 Birdcage rolls in with Cohiba hot on his tail. Battlebot rolled in at 515 yelling it’s 515 let’s go! Bushwood wandered off into the dark. We wandered to the pile of gear.

With only two people the workout was as organized. I had. 60# sand bag, 65# anchor sandbag and 65# keg half filled with water.

Plan was to pair up. Three stations. Squat with sandbag, deadlift with anchor bag, chest press with the keg. One partner does the exercise to failure while the other spots and rests. Then switch. So 3 sets each then move to the next station.

Since it was two of us we rotated stations after each set. Also the half filled keg was very unstable and we decided it was not worth the injury risk.

Birdcage is a slacker site Q

Leave a comment

The workout Q was Ringer a slack less Kotter. Birdcage hasn’t done the BB in his place as a good site Q should so I’ll do it to keep BandCamp happy.

Exercise cones were set out in a large loop in the parking lot. KB were left a cones as needed. PAX broke off in two groups. Exercise at the cone as specified on the cone and run to next cone. Repeat until COT.

Respawn of Tomahawk

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 4:45 Prerun (Sherlock was conspicuously absent)

THE THANG: Disclaimer was disclaimed and the PAX were instructed to carry ~150lbs of extra coupons in addition to their bells on an Indian Run to the workout location…

The PAX moseyed their way on a poor form Indian Run to the field/hill adjacent to the basketball arena and circled up for the main event…a KB and Coupon Jacobs Ladder

PAX completed 10 reps of each exercise:
– KB Swings
– Single Arm Overhead Press (each arm)
– Overhead Tricep Extension
– Curls (each arm)
– Upright Rows
– Lawnmower Pulls (each arm)
– Merkins (1 hand on bell, switch halfway)
– Alternating Lunges (each leg)
– KB Goblet Squats
– KB Calf Raises

All of the coupons were picked up and moved to the top of the hill for 1 burpee, before returning all of the coupons back to the bottom of the hill

Rinse and repeat (reducing the KB and increasing the Burpee rep count by 1)

The PAX completed 5 rounds (45 reps of each exercise and 10 burpees) before needing to return to COT with all of the KBs and Coupons (0.6 miles round trip).

Great work by all! Glad to see the return of an OG AO in The Fort!!!

Thanks Birdcage for the opportunity!!!

MARY: We watched the Bushwood PAX complete some, too gassed to care!
