FYF: The Red Rocket Chronicles

Leave a comment

9 (or maybe 10 and I can’t remember who the 10th was) found a safe space while <@U012K8DDK7V>‘s dog microaggressed a bunch of them with his red Rocket at Currahee…
– Ruby Slippers flew in 10 minutes early to be 5 minutes late
– Falcon Crest was hoodwinked early in his rucking career by Mainframe into buying a 45# plate, which is something he is sure he’ll eventually be grateful for
– 3D’s GTE prep continues, but he doesn’t mind if it doesn’t include any more Crawl Bears
– Italian Job only sang 3 90’s hits, which is indicative of how tired he must be from his weekend in Wichita
– For a hearing doctor, Decibel claimed a lot of “unable to hear” for his lack of compliance with instructions
– fishstix taught us his award winning atomic wedgie techniques to be employed at a later time. Probably when you aren’t looking.

WARMUP: OMS (old man stretches)

THE THANG:
Evolution 1 = 1-mile time hack – 14 minutes to complete
– Starting at corner of school, around big loop clockwise, turn left to go behind the school. Take the outside lane in the small lot, then take a left around the big loop and continue to the flags at entrance of school

– 18 man-makers – buy in

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick mosey with a stop for mountain climbers, MNC, low slow squats
THE THANG: Mozy over to Springfield Middle School where we placed four evenly-ish spaced cones the length of the drop off before you get to the hill. From the start we ran to the first cone for 20 reps each of shoulder tap merkins, monkey humpers, box cuttahs, and plank jacks then ran back to the start. From there we ran to the second cone for dips, squats, flutters and Mike Tyson’s. Back to start then to cone three for CDD, bomb jacks, American hammers, SSH. Ran to start then on to cone four for merkins, calf raises, BBS, and burpees. (20 reps for each exercise at each cone)
Quick mozy back to start then we ran to the top of the hill and partnered up. At the top of the hill, each partner did three burpees then ran to opposite sides of the hill for 50 reps each of the selected exercise. After each exercise they ran back to the top for three burpees with their partner. Rinse and repeat with SSH, LBCs, Merkins, Squats, Overhead claps, CDD.
Mozy back to COT with a stop to pickup all the cones.
MARY: No dedicated Mary time but we got it in.

Steel City Beatdown – By the numbers

5 burpees OYO – 5 Pirates World Series Championships
13 SSH IC – 26 total reps for Steeler HOF Rod Woodson
5 burpees OYO – 5 Penguins Stanley Cups
6 Windmills – 6 Steelers Super Bowl Championships

1 Burpee OYO – 1 Olympic Gold Medal for Kurt Angle (he did it with a broken neck)

Mosey to the hill by the fire station

Inclined PAIN workout. You would do 3 burpees at the bottom of the hill and then do an exercise, go back to the bottom of the hill 3 more burpees, and then move up the ladder completing all exercises. Everyone loved this. All the reps represented the numbers of different Pittsburgh sports legends.

Steel City by the numbers Cont.

87 Mountain Climbers – Sidney Crosby
75 LBC’s – Mean Joe Greene
66 Flutters – Mario Lemieux
43 – Calf Raises – Troy Polamalu
32 – SSH – Franco Harris
24 – Freddy Mercury’s – Barry Bonds
21 Merkins – Roberto Clemente
10 Squats – Ron Francis
8 BBS – Willie Stargell
7 HR Merkins- Ben Roethlisberger

Mosey back to COT. If you got through it…446 reps…the exact number of Bridges within the Steel City.

Thanks to all who posted and embraced the legacy of PGH Sports.

Partners, Light poles and Blimps

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to the side of the school for exercises in cadence:
Windmills
Cherry pickers
Imperial walkers
Hillbilly walkers
Seal jacks
Side straddle hops

THE THANG: part 1 – partner up and either people’s chair or BTTW while partner 2 runs to the end of the lot and back. 3 rounds

Part 2 – Blimps at the light poles

At each pole pax added an exercise on the way up and dropped one on the way down. Burpees were never dropped – just because

5 – Burpees
10 – Lunges
15 – Incline Merkins
20 – Merkins (Modified to CDD’s on the downhill portion)
25 – Pulse squats AKA Monkey jumpers
30 – Squats

Two lessons from Seneca shared at the top of the hill

1 – we suffer more in our imagination than in reality

2 – he who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.

How often in our lives do we let our perception of events influence us poorly? Our response is all we control – the event doesn’t care how we feel about it.

After 11 light poles worth of “fun”……back to COT

MARY: Just enough time for protractors and rosalitas with just a few hello dolly’s. That took pax to 0715
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks for the call, Float Bridge. Honored to lead. :eye:
