A Heavy Bag in the Nut

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , ,

YHC hasn’t been to the Nut  in a while, so I figured why not drag out the heavy bag and dumbbells for the festivities today! Was stoked to see that 8 Pax arrived on scene with various wisecracks about that big, long bag! We made the rounds in several areas on campus today for a complete whole body beatdown!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: A quick mosey over to the bus loop for some Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, and Overhead Claps.
The Workout: Annies x 10 IC followed by Mountain Climbers x 10 IC. Repeato x3. Jack Squats (1 squat = 3 jump squats), we did this up to 5.

Another quick mosey to the front parking lot where we partnered up for running opposite directions to the stop sign or light pole respectively for 5 Star Jumps. Once meeting in the middle, partners did Patty Cake Merkins x10. We did 4 rounds of this.

We then headed over to the far side of the school at the long carpool lane for a set of BLIMPS suicides to the light poles. 5 Burpees, 10 Lunge Jumps, 15 Imperial Walker IC, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks, 30 Squats. Each time at the end we did 10 SSH. Once finished we lined up for a couple rounds of Guantanamo.

Moseyed up to the front of the school for the heavy bag routine. 1 PAX uses the bag as a bench with the 45 lb. dumbbells for 25 reps. That PAX called out an AMRAP exercise for the rest of us. Not all are included here but I think: American Hammers, Dips, Irkins, Dirkins, Homer to Marge, lap around the lot, Pickle Pounders, LBC, Freddie Mercury. Step Ups, Squats, LSF’s, etc.
Mary: baked into the final routine!!!!
Announcements: LONG ASS RUN Saturday…check the Slack…show up!
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Spoke/unspokedn. Deadbolt stepped up to take us out!

B.A.S.K.E.T.B.A.L.L.

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , ,

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Daisy Pickers, SSH, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (Forward & Reverse), Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies
The Workout:

We started with some wall work, consisting of BTTW and People’s Chair. During BTTW, each PAX called a 7 count (IC). While in People’s Chair, YHC called overhead claps–35 IC–to serve as our timer.

 

We moseyed on to the basketball courts for some free throw drills. We formed a circle around the basketball goal, and each PAX took a turn shooting a free throw. If the PAX missed, a penalty of more reps was incurred for the resulting exercise, however, if the free throw was made, fewer reps had to be performed. The series of exercises spelled B.A.S.K.E.T.B.A.L.L:

B = Bobby Hurleys

A = Alternating Side Squats

S = Squats

K = Knerkins

E = BurpEes

T = Tempo Merkins

B = Burpees

A = American Hammers

L = Low slow flutter kicks

L = LBCs

1 PAX–BlueHen–valiantly volunteered to shoot a free throw on behalf of the other PAX to determine how many sets of suicides would follow. As the free throw was made, PAX only had to sprint once to the end of the parking lot and back.

We proceeded to two sets of 4 corners. For the first set, we cycled through various types of merkins: wide grip, diamond, ranger, and regular. For the second set, we cycled through some more merkins, squats, and American Hammers to transition into Mary.

Mary: We finished with a few minutes of Mary, PAX choice: Box cutters, Monkey humpers, and Plank

Announcements: Unspoken prayers. YHC took us out.

Prayer: Check Slack

Mumble chatter was a little more mellow this week, no wife swapping jokes(?) this time. It was good to recognize some guys from last week.

Getting Dirty at The Nut

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s always great to come back to The Nut where YHC once had the honor of being site Q. It was good to see some of the usual suspects including a few new(ish) guys YHC hadn’t met.

Dahmer was the first on the scene and ready to roll for some EC so the two of us headed out and quickly ran into the 12 Oaks crew doing EC. Great work!

Warm Up:

Mosey around the parking lot
SSH x 20 IC
Frankensteins x 10 IC
Good Mornings x 10 IC
Daisy Pickers x 10 IC
Sir Fazio Arm Circles x 10 fwd/ x 10 rev IC
Imperial Walkers x 10 IC
Hillbillies x 10 IC

The Workout:

The Main Event was a “Dirty McDeuce” which consisted of 4 stations with 3 exercises at each: 1 arm exercise, 1 leg exercise, and 1 ab exercise for a total of 12 exercises. Pax counted off into groups of 4 and since there were 12 of us, it worked out perfectly to have 3 HIM per group. Each group went to the station corresponding to their number to begin the workout. Traveling between stations was done by jogging a full lap around the parking lot. Round 1 was 10 reps for each exercise, round 2 was 15 reps, and since time was running short, we went back to 10 reps for round 3. All groups completed all three rounds and then we went straight into…

Mary:

American Hammers x 20 IC
Homer to Marge x 20 IC

YHC went 1 minute over time so next time we will have to end a minute early to compensate.

Announcements:

T-Claps (Recognition):

Great to run with Dahmer during EC and T-Claps to Flanigan, Moby, and the other 12 Oaks crew members for EC as well.

Prayer:

Pax that are injured
Those that are traveling
Family members who are sick

2nd F was at Panera and although no one else came from The Nut, YHC caught up with those returning from The Nest.

Great work out there, HIM. It’s always an honor to lead.
