The Return of the Block Party

PAX: Pipes, Shaguar, Pusher, Jimmy John, Astaire, Moonwalk, Works for a Guy, Hambone, Bagger Vance, Detective Pikachu, Crawl Space, Dan and Dave, D frost, Red Skull, Toga QIC), The Black Widow

Gloom Factor: Nil, 70  and Sunny

A hearty sixteen posted to get a little better in the gloom.  It went something like this:

Disclaimer, mosey to everyone’s favorite gravel lot, standard issue WOR (including nipple sharpeners), then lineup for some grass drills= PAX in one line facing the fence, chop legs like the mountain climber, and then roll right, left and forward based on the Q’s cadence.  Complete 4 rounds

Partner up, mosey to block pile and collect one block for each team before heading to the bball court.  Lineup on the baseline for some block work:

  1. Round 1: P1 bear crawl down the court and mosey back while P2 executes block shoulder presses, flapjack and repeato x3
  2. Round 2: P1 Carryovers down and back while P2 executes block squats, flapjack and repeato x3
  3. Round 3: P1 burpee broad jump down and mosey back while P2 executes WWII with blocks, flapjack and repeato x3
  4. Round 4: P1 lunge down and mosey back while P2 executes block curls, flapjack and repeato x3
  5. Round 5: P1 crab walk down and mosey back while P2 executes block swings flapjack and repeato x3

Deliver blocks back to the deck in a nice, neat pile, and conduct some very quick Mary in the parking lot while waiting for the 6.

Announcements: See Red Skull’s note in channel about a 5k to run with the 4:13 speedsters, see BV’s note (in ‘main’ channel) about an upcoming convergence in Franklin.  Prayers for Pusher’s son turning ONE TODAY!!

NMM:  It’s always an honor to lead at 4:13.  Most of us haven’t faced the challenges these young men have in their rearview or the ones they have in front of them.  Stay humble, work hard, support the man next to you, and enjoy a jock jams playlist where appropriate.

Stay Classy,

Toga

Ice Storm?

PAX: @t-cell @Tim the Toolman @hambone @McAfee @bluemule @Vector @Pop-A-Lock @Michelin Man @toga (QIC)

Gloom Factor:  Nil.  70 and Sunny

Lucky number 9 posted in an alleged ice storm to get a little better this morning.  It went something like…

Circle up next to cars, lineup most of the weights in YHC’s home gym, and commence with standard issue WOR.  Mosey up and down the parking lot a few times to get the ol’ ticker going then lineup for bean bad toss=

Each PAX lines up at a station to execute an exercise whilst one member of the PAX tosses a sandbag a predetermined distance and back, run to the end of the lot, rotate to the next station and repeato.  The exercise for today’s outing included:

  • Alternating offset merkins
  • Goblet squats
  • Kb swings
  • Tricep press
  • Jump rope
  • Man makers
  • Med ball slams
  • Dumbbell side raises

Time!

Announcements:  Get training for GrowRuck 27, get yourselves to 4:13 next week, and enjoy keeping the kids busy since they’re all home from school.

NMM: YHC was terribly excited to receive an offer to Q at Bomber (a first), and the opportunity to take Hambone’s Q made it all the sweeter.  The PAX quickly learned that the main part of the driveway was relatively clear of ice, but the parking spaces were slippery as whale s@&t!  We managed to complete almost 3 times through the circuit and got to witness some sweet form on the sandbag lift and toss.  The coffee is all the better when Pop a Lock buys!

Stay Classy,

Toga
