Making Beetle Bailey Proud

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: I like workouts that help make daily life better. Even though my daily life isn’t like being in the Army, they have some great exercises for strong movement. Today’s workout was inspired by the ACFT.

Thing 1
Started with a run around the baseball fields. Stopped at the rock pile and got a mediumish rock. 3 rounds of the following:

  • sumo squat w/ rock
  • overhead press w/ rock
  • ruh rohs w/ rock
  • hand release merkin
  • plank
  • sprint to the end of the parking lot, mosey back

Returned rocks and ran around the soccer fields, stopping back at the tennis court concession stand. All in all we got about 1.5 miles in.

Thing 2
We had some extra time because these dudes are BEASTS. 2 rounds of People’s Chair, Urkins and Dips.

Mary: Popcorn Mary followed by some yoga / stretching.

Announcements: F3 South Wake picnic, Memorial Day Murph

T-Claps (Recognition): Shooting Blanks for coming back out for his second workout. Keep it going!

Prayer: any injured PAX

Hollywood Birthday Party

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Based on the weather, all PAX headed for the parking deck as soon as 5:30:00 arrived. Warmed up and stretched with Side Straddle Hops, Good Mornings,  Frankenstein’s, and Willy Mays Hays. 

The Workout: PAX tackled a few exercises named after Hollywood classics.

  • First – The Imperial March: Imperial walkers, performed while marching in a circle for the duration of the John Williams classic ‘The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme)”. PAX complained about how long the song was, but not loudly enough to get relief from the Q.
  • Second – Catch Me If You Can: PAX partnered up for a race of sorts. At the sound of ‘GO’, partner one performed five burpees. While partner one performed burpees, partner two attempted to flee as quickly as possible while running backwards. Upon completing the required burpees, partner one sprinted to catch their fleeing partner. Flapjack. Repeato while replacing Burpees with 10 diamond merkins.
  • Third – Field of Dreams: PAX counted off by four, then split to each of the 4 designated ‘bases’. At the sound of ‘GO’, Home plate performed 10 burpees, 1st performed AMRAP merkins; 2nd held a plank; 3rd AMRAP Squats. When homeplate completed the required burpees, they raced down the baseline to first, starting the chain of all stations rotating as they were tagged out. Repeato until all PAX performed burpees. 
  • Round 2 of Catch Me If You Can
  • Round 2 of Field of Dreams, replacing burpees with dips, merkins with derkins, planks with LBCs, squats with Sumo squats
  • Round 3 of Catch Me If You Can – At this point, it became a challenge among PAX to travel further than their partner did. @U.T.I. attempted to gain extra distance on @wildturkey through the use of evasive maneuvers. @wildturkey elected to instead take a shortcut to put a stop to @U.T.I.’s shenanigan’s. 
  • Round 3 of Field of dreams, replacing dips with burpees, derkins with Erkins, LBCs with low-slow-flutter, Sumo Squats with preachers chair.

Ended with a game called Rock Paper Scissors. each PAX measured how many overhead claps they could perform in 20 seconds. They then partnered up to compete in an effort to see who could reach their predetermined number of claps first. In the event of a tie, RPS was played to determine the winner.  After four rounds it was determined that @bestinshow was truly the best-in-show and could have a viable career as a bird if he desired. 

Ended with COT where Q provided doughnut holes for all PAX in celebration of 34 trips around the sun. Nothing makes you want doughnuts like sweaty cardio on a humid morning.

No running allowed

FNGs: none

Warm Up: windmills, sir fazio forward and back, seal claps, overhead claps, Smurf Moroccan nightclubs

The Workout: YHC still has a bum ankle from uturn on Saturday, so I set out to serve a beatdown without the use of running. Starting in the parking lot, pax alternated traveling as landscapers and wheelbarrows until reaching the intersection with the running track around the soccer fields. Once there, pax were given the choice of continuing with the wheelbarrow or converting to walking lunges. These modes of travel carried us to the newly opened playground. Once we arrived at our destination, we embarked on a modified murph, with modifications centering on not using legs (running and squats). Each pax completed 100 pull-ups (or inverted rows), 200 merkins of assorted styles, and 300 LBCs. All pax were serenaded with classic rock as they worked their was through the rounds. 

Mary: Freddy mercury, box cutters, plank hold w/10 merkin per pax counter, Australian snow angels, broga.

BS out!

Ultimate Frisbee 5 vs 6

FNGs None

warmups:  ssh, Frankensteins, daisy pickers, OYO

great match-ups, lots of extra running on the pitch.  Mis-marked end zones – (I blame Gump not supervising me).  Surprisingly the team of five played pretty well considering they were out numbered and had an a old fat guy trying to keep up with the young guns.  Dropped passes resulted in burpees, merkins, monkey-humpers, star jumps, etc  TDs resulted in merkins, LBCs, SSHs, etc.

no injuries reported.  Hope to see more PAX under the lights after up-coming marathons

announcements:  Breach at the boathouse later this week – see slack for details

prayers:  positive marriage update with Wham-O & his M – (awesome!). Lean on the pax who have been married 20, 25, 30 yrs.  We have all had our ups and downs in our marriages. We may not know the answers but we can give a good listen and possibly share/learn from our experiences.

Thank you Breach for taking us out.
2nd F at Paneras.

 

honored to lead. – Dauber
