PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

It was good to pull into the park to see so many guys getting all the food and backpacks ready for the Ruck. It was truly an honor to lead this PAX there and back.

FNG: None

Warm Up: The Ruck

The Workout: This was a Ruck for a great cause. Had a lot of texts and commitments long before Sunday morning. It was an Awesome 8.5 miles with great mumblechatter along the way.

I Didn’t Know You Were a Plumber

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

Some workouts just have so many 1-liners that you really can’t name all of them…but the title of this BB is one of them! Why? You Ask. Well, it’s because one of the coupons of pain YHC brought today was literally a bag filled to the brim with wrenches. See…awhile back, Shamwow came up with this 5 week challenge of who could Q the best beatdown at Disney. 5 Spots were taken fast, 1 by YHC. The workouts so far have been tough and all have taken a different angle on how to deal out the pain in some unique ways. So I knew YHC had to cook up something a little special today. So my fellow PAX helped me clean out my garage of various heavy coupons for a beat down on the big field at Disney. We put this stuff to great use today! YHC got to the AO very early because I had no idea how long it would take to unload and set this stuff up in the field of darkness. But…it was my pleasure to put in extra effort today to cook up something special.

EC: A 4 mile route run by Dahmer, Full House, Shamwow!, Nemo, and YHC.

FNG’s: None…but they really missed out.

Warm Up: Quick mosey around the parking lot and then a circle up for Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Seal Claps, Hillbillies, Overhead Claps, Windmills, Frankenstein’s, standard Merkins x12, Prisoner Squats x12…and off to the field.
The Workout: On the field the Pax would find stations, each with a coupon. Some larger than others…some very large. We would rotate through these stations doing AMRAP exercises while the “timer” PAX performed heavy bag flips from 1 cone to another and back again. That’s 1 station. Stations were:

100 lb. heavy back flips about 40 yards and back.

18 lb. kettlebell figure 8’s

15 lb. single arm shoulder press with garden block

30 lb. bag of wrenches deadlift

Recover on the fire house carry (2-3 passes of 40 yards)

25 lb. dumbbell curls for the girls

25 lb. dumbbell wonderbras

5 lb. dumbbells in each hand fast 1-2’s

25 lb. kettlebell swings

100 lb. heavy back chain drag about 40 yards and back

A few others used a large rainbow painted rock (thanks my 2.0 Julia) and a jump rope that were there for extra playing.

We completed two full rotations through all stations.

Mary: WW2 x30, Box Cutters x15, H2M x15, WW1’s x30. 5 last Good Mornings to stretch it out.
Announcements: Donate to Momma’s House Thanksgiving Meal Fund through PayPal. Thursday night hygiene product ruck. Check Slack and either Breach or Sprinkler for details.
T-Claps (Recognition): Big Perm…second post in a row. POTS for showing us the way by lifting and carrying the heavy back (instead of dragging). Nemo for showing on-time to EC.
Prayer: Pray for 187’s M and health issues. Full House took us out! Honor to lead men. Thanks for playing today.

We Don’t Do Bear Crawls Here

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

YHC took his first Q of the ship at Mutiny today! Always a great crowd, always hard work, but never bear crawls! At least, that’s the joke made by LED after YHC apparently chose a pretty tough bear crawl routine this morning. Always great to see the Fuquay Fellas!

EC’ers: LED, H1N1 (who peaced out prior to workout to do something even more important…celebrate his boy’s 14th trip around the Sun! Way to make a great move HIM!)

FNG’s: nope
Warm Up: Pax warmed up alongside the Red October crew before splitting. Moseyed around the parking lot for some Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Bent Over Seal Claps, Bent Over Overhead Claps, and SSH.
The Workout: Moseyed over to the short hill by fences and field. YHC had quite an array of counts while doing this routine. Merkins at the bottom and Fence Squats at the top of the hill. Merkin counts on the bottom were: 20, 21, 17, 7, 9, 12, and 7. Squat counts at the top were: 25, 20, 13, 8, 9, 20, and 30. Finished with 7 counts of standard, diamond, wide-grip, and hand release merkins at the bottom. YHC purposely kept most counts random to eliminate Pax predictability. At one point, I heard some mumblechatter wondering if we would spend the whole workout going up and down this short hill with two exercises…maybe an idea for the future! Mosey over to the bleachers next for a more predictable 2 rounds of 3 exercises. We did 30 dips, 25 step-ups, 15 close grip bleacher merkins, 20 step-ups, 15 close grip bleacher merkins, and 25 dips. Arms and shoulders starting to get torched!

We made our way to the tennis courts for 25 ct. prisoner squats, 25 ct. sumo squat jumps, and 25 ct. prisoner squats. We then did a bear crawl suicide routine. Starting at the fence, each Pax would bear crawl to a tennis line and perform a burpee, with each line adding a burpee. We did this across two full courts, giving us 8 runs of bear crawls with up to 8 burpees. Several Pax did an additional bear crawl to pick up the 6 toward the end.

Pax then journeyed out to the nearby wall for a all pax 20 count of People’s Chair, before returning inside the courts for Mary.

Mary: With Red October men re-joining, we held a plank hold for an all Pax 10 count. 40 WW1’s, 15 LBC’s IC, 10 WW1’s, 15 LBC’s IC. Have a nice day!
Announcements: Great 3rd F events this last weekend. Plenty of food and monetary donations to Momma’s House in the FV and great work done at the HS Food Cupboard. HIM’s galore! Breach is organizing hygiene ruck for this Thursday…check Slack!
T-Claps (Recognition): Bebop for not giving up on the bear crawl suicide and pax for talking him up as he finished. This is what it’s all about!
Prayer: Schools, our nation, Pax to be mindful to stay safe in COVID. Breach took us out. I think I’ll take this ship out sailing again soon…honor to lead!

Burpees, Busch Latte & Biscuits in an Eddie Van Halen Tribute at Kung POW

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

 

This morning – we honored the passing of a great one – Eddie Van Halen.  It was great to see the 12 Oaks Clown Cars roll up.  Midget almost jumped the curb in the Lexus.  YHC had been up since 3:15 and was fire’t up – lets do this

FNGs: None

The Workout:
Warm Up:

  • Double D took the flag and led us out of Wescott and over the the Church back parking lot.  We played a little frogger on Sunset Lake Road
  • I found a bluetooth speaker in the mulch so I decided
  • Gathered in a circle – YHC explained who we were honoring.  To begin the tribute – the Pax did “Burpee Eruption”  this was continuous burpees through the 1:30 Eddie Van Halen classic solo – “Eruption” – that sucked
  • Good Mornings x 10
  • Mountain Climbers x 10
  • Imperial Walkers x 10
  • Hillbillies x 10

Thang 1:  Running with the Devil

Van Halen Fact:  They started out named The Broken Combs, later became The Space Brothers, The Trojan Rubber Company, and then Genesis. Upon finding out the latter name was already taken, they changed their name yet again to Mammoth.  In 1978 –  Eddie was just 23 years old when they released their debut, self-titled album.  It had 11 songs and was only 35 minutes in length.  The opening track was “Running with the Devil”

11s while Running with the Devil played on loop

  • Bottom of Hill – Merkins
  • Top of Hill – Squats
  • 5k pace on the run or faster

Thang 2:  “Panama”

Van Halen Fact:  Released in January 1984.  This was the final full length album to feature the original members.  This album produced the bands only #1 single on billboard – Jump.    The kid on the cover was based on a famous Italian work of art called a “Putto”

Do this as a group – in a circle – no breaks – no rest – all to “Panama” on repeat

  • 60 Body Weight Squats (20 per round)
  • 60 WW1 (20 per round)
  • 60 SSH (20 per round)
  • 30 Burpees (10 per round)
  • 60 Mountain Climbers (20 per round)
  • 60 Merkins (20 per round)

Thang 3:  Hot Summer Nights

Fact:  Eddie Van Halen could never read sheet music.    Gene Simmons produced their 1st demo disk.   5150 named after mentally disturbed person.  Sammy wanted to name the 9th album FUCK but settled on just using the letters For Unlawful Carnel Knowledge

  • Cackalaca Choo Choo  (All this to 5150’s “Hot Summer Nights” on Loop)
    • Pax in a plank hold in large circle
    • 1 pax goes around the circle jumping over feet of planing pax
    • Every two jumps – he does a burpee
    • Next pax leaves and goes around

Double D led us back to my truck with shovel flag flying!
