Ultimate Hard Mode

/in , /by

FNGs: None today
Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Frankenstein’s x10 IC
The Workout:

Ultimate frisbee F3 style! When the disc hits the ground do an exercise from a rotating list. For today the list was 10x merkins, 10x squats, 5x burpees. A big up in the number of reps vs what is the norm – that’s why it was hard mode!

When a team scores they call an exercise that everyone does.

Mary:

We played until 42 minutes or so – after a game point call we moseyed back to the parking lot for some Mary.

Low slow flutter x20 IC

LBC x20 IC
Announcements:

CSAUP, Christmas Party, Oakwood 24.
T-Claps (Recognition):

16-bit for playing with breathtaker. He’s committed to the 5 pack and I’m sure this wasn’t easy with the extra 20 lbs.
Prayer:

Finkle’s daughter is in post op recovery. Duwan at Banana Seat’s church needs lifting up. Continue to pray for Wallaby and his family – a meal train is in the works by Pablo. Fumunga’s hot water heater is busted. Beater’s son is having some behavioral issues.

Rockin’ n Blockin’ a Mutiny

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: As the half past the hour drew near 16 Pax stood wondering in the gloom with mumble chatter of where oh’ where might the Q for the inaugural Red October Kettlebell workout be. Low & behold Dauber comes in near sideways at 29 past the hour. As today was “The Day” to christen the new AO alongside Mutiny we were to warm up and embrace Mary all together in good fashion. YHC called out to said Q across the way and then instructed the Pax to a 5 Burpee OYO in keeping with SouthWake’s tardy policy.

Sprinkler was on edge chomping at the bit for the signal to take warm up from there. Off to a quick lap around the field then back to parking lot for a sprinkling of SSH, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, & Fozio AC forwards and reverses. Here is where the group splits and Dauber drags his prey off to the tennis courts for an inaugural can of kettle bell whoop arss!

The Workout: Sprinkler & YHC co-Q’d the block work laid today. A few rounds of around the waist, curls for the girls, high knee step ups, overhead presses, rut rows, quick feet, elbow planks w/opposite leg lifts, uneven merkins, reclined chest presses, tricep extensions, wonder bra’s, parking lot block bear crawlin’ Indian run, single parking space block pushin’ burpees increasing by 1 at each line by 5 spaces, a final round the horn 10 count of  block exercises called by the remaining 8 Pax.

Mary: Merged back with the weary kettle beller’s for a date with Mary. Led by YHC started with a round of 1:4 Jack Webbs up 10/40, box cutters x 20, low slow flutters x 50.

Announcements: Christmas party coming up likely at Pablo’s place.

T-Claps (Recognition): To Sprinkler for being volunteered by YHC to co-Q his first workout last week and stepping up and doing a magnificent job in the gloom this morning.

Prayer: 16-bit dealing with some possible blood clots in one of legs, Quiver’s job situation, unspoken. YHC took us out in prayer.

Just Back For The Weekend

/in /by

PAX: LED, Fonzie, Doc, Finkle, Norm, Modify, H1N1, FedEx, Yosemite, Sprinkler

EC: Norm

FNGs: None

It was great to see Norm back in the gloom, even though he was just back for the weekend and heading back to training after Mutiny.

Warm Up: We did some SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Arm Circles, and Overhead Claps all in cadence

The Workout: We started at the short wall under the parking lot shelter for step ups and squats. After that we went to the concession stand wall for some BTW and Shoulder Taps.  Then we headed to the parking lot behind Club Works for walking lunges into burpee to the rock pile where I told the Pax to get a medium size rock and John Cusack to the parking lot on the side of Club Works where we started with some Merkins, on each “up” we slid the rock under us to the left or right, then we bear crawled across the lot with the rock.  On this side we did Rut Rows into overhead alternating lunges and then bear crawled back with the rock to do some more sliding rock Merkins. After we bear crawled back to the other side, with the rock, we did some alternating around the world to squat to curl for the girls. Told the Pax to John Cusack back for some rinse and repeat. Before we returned the rocks we partnered up so P1 can do Merkins with a rock on his back as P2 did squats. We returned the rocks and I told the Pax that we would be heading back the way we came in so we did walking lunges into burpee back to the the parking circle.

Mary: Ran out of time

Announcements: Check Facebook and Slack

T-Claps (Recognition):  Norm and his family as he heads back to training

Prayer: FedEx’s son and co worker, who was bitten by a dog, and Norm’s friend who’s about to have a baby

 

 

Always an honor to lead you fine gentlemen!!!!  SYITG!!

Always great to be in the gloom. Most guys cannot fathom waking up this early. My M says she sees a big difference in the days that I do and don’t post. The days I do post always tend to bring more energy to the day and days I don’t post seem to be slothish (probably not a word). Anywho…I appreciate all the hard work each of you put in today and every time you post. Keep pushing that rock and if you need help pushing it, let somebody know. I’m sure someone will help you!

BS Out!
