Cleaning the Soccer Field

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Side Straddle Hops, 5 penalty burpees, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: Two things today.

Thing 1: 7s on the Abyss
PAX moseyed over to the Abyss, everyone’s favorite ride at Disney. At the top, YHC gave the run down. Merkins at the top, squats at the bottom. Plank hold and squat hold for the 6 and then exercises performed together. We made short work of that business and moseyed over to the soccer field.

Thing 2: 4 corners on the soccer field
On approach to the soccer field, it was observed that the previous tenants had left a number of things on the field, mostly water bottles. 
PAX were instructed how 4 corners would go. An exercise at each corner with karaokes in between. Corner one had 5 merkins, corner two had 10 merkins, corner three had 15 merkins, corner four went back down to 10 merkins and then we did 5 more merkins at start. 
Then we switched it to squats and did the same thing, backpedaling between corners.
We spotted a few more water bottles scattered around the field, so PAX each ran out and grabbed a couple and disposed of them.
Back to start for Mary.

Announcements: June 12th mulching

Good Ol’ String O’ Pearls

/in /by

Weather: 47°, about perfect

FNGs: nada

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hill Billies, Frankensteins, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: String of pearls. Probably because of my ADHD but I love this workout. You’re always seeing something new. The way it works is you run a bit, stop for an exercise and then carry on. Run, exercise, run, exercise.

Exercises covered were all the favorites. Merkins, squats, lunge walk, dips, bulgarian squat. We made our way from Womble through downtown and back, covering about 1.6 miles.

Announcements: 2nd Friday 2nd F lunch tomorrow

Paradise City Throwback

/in , /by

Warm Up: 

  • good mornings, windmills, sir fazios, goofballs, SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies

The Workout:

YHC went looking for inspriation for a Paradise City workout.  I love digging through BackBlast to see what’s been done before to inform what I’ll do.  It just makes planning a little easier.  I could just ask AI to make me a workout, but there is something about knowing who ran the workout I’m borrowing and when did they run it.  Just feels a little nostalgic and fun.  This one comes from Deadbolt circa 2021 “Spartan 500”

Keep writing backblasts.  You never know who they might inspire to show-up or make leading a workout a little easier.

Our workout today is explained in this picture.  Looking back again at Deadbolts BB, I think the intention was to do all 50 reps at each corner with the goal to move fast enough to complete 10 laps before the end of the workout.

I modified and had us do Merkins in the first lap with 10 at each corner.  With each subsequent exercise replacing the last one through the list.  Deadbolt also prescribed a team-based model.  I opted to keep everyone together.  It was perfect for us in terms of time and it allowed me to keep my pre-blast promises to stay under the former standard of 3 miles.

The Q Makes The Rules

/in /by

32 PAX took the field and immediately felt the difference—this wasn’t standard Ultimate, it was controlled chaos with purpose. With three scoring zones per team, the game forced constant decision-making: grind for the safe 1-point end zone, thread a tight throw into the 2-point bonus box, or take a high-risk shot at the 3-point corner. Early on, teams played conservative, but as momentum shifted, players started stretching the field, launching deep shots and cutting aggressively to the corners.

Communication became everything—sidelines were loud, calling out zone opportunities and defensive switches as handlers scanned for mismatches. By the midpoint, legs were heavy but intensity stayed high, with several clutch 3-point conversions swinging the score dramatically. What stood out most was the adaptability—guys adjusted on the fly, spacing improved, and trust in throws grew as the game went on. In the end, it wasn’t just about athleticism; it was about awareness, timing, and taking calculated risks under pressure, and every player walked off knowing they’d been part of something fast, competitive, and a step above the usual pickup run.

The game was a close one but the score keeping team prevailed.

Working on the Standard

/in /by

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

Standard Warmup, including the Mission Statement, 5 Core Principals, and the 15 Penalty Burpees associated with the failure to know when called upon.

The Workout:

26 PAX this morning for a crisp April morning game of UFO.  We apparently still need to update the website to ensure the start time is updated to 0515 because we had 6 – 8 of the 26 show up after 5:15, I’m pretty sure they still owe ~15 burpees because they missed the warmup, haha.  Great work to all the HIMs that showed up, it is always great to get out and get our weeks started out right.

Mary:

Cleanup of the field

Announcements:

@finkle stepping up to take over the Nest, the mission is to Plant, Grow, and Serve.  For anyone who is part of the Grow, but not yet taken up the Serve, think about what you can do to take the next step.  Without it, the “Plant” will die.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Good Work to those that stuck around to complete the #corechallenge Day 6.
