Defying the Storms at Defiant

Paid Make It Rain GIF

5 PAX with a combined 200+ years of life experience came out and made it rain: Barney Fievel (Qic), Old Hickory, Professor X (respect), Typo+ and Creeper.

Conditions: Rain, thunder, lightning and 62 degrees. A typical mid-December day in Tennessee. PAX successfully stayed mostly dry by confining our workout to the overhang in front of the school.

Warm Up: SSH, cherry pickers and a few others that escape me at the moment.

Thang 1: MLBs

Line up. Perform 10 merkins, lunge to midway point, bear crawl to the end. Turn around, repeat decreasing reps by 2 merkins  each time.

Thang 2:  The Plethora

Truth be told, I had to scrap my workout as there was intermittent lightning and YHC is a little stubborn. The majority of the workout consisted of some pretty intense sequences that I’ll do my best to try and remember below:

  • 15 balls to the walls
  • 10 burpees on the minute for 10 minutes.
  • 5 one-minute Wall Squats
  • 15 Wall Derkins
  • 50 Copenhagens

Extended Mary: 

  • Leg raises
  • V-ups
  • Slutter Kicks with our crotch facing the school
  • American Hammers
  • Freddie Mercury’s

COT

Prayer Needs: LMP Wife and Family, Typo+ Wife and Family, Soccer Mom R&R, ShowMe and family on their next chapter.

Announcements: –  Nashville Rescue Mission; Glengarry and family are serving Christmas Eve in Kitchen.

12/12/19: Broad BOMBS

Location: Atlantis

Conditions: High 20’s

QIC: Pumpkin Spice

PAX: Crablegs, Wilbur (WL from Kingsport)

THE THANG

Warmorama

The brave HIM who united at Atlantis whilst others farsacked galore took off after a brief disclaimer into the dark loop around the field. A strange — but not atypical Atlantis happening — occurred on the mosey as we witnessed a car pull up and two people inside get some spooning in in the gloom. I wonder if this was Lunch Lady? He’s been known for his affinity for such practices (and was sadly missed, as is always the case in his absence).

Exercises for the WOR included:

  • SSH x 15
  • LBAC x 15
  • rLBAC x 15
  • Moroccan Night Clubs x 15
  • WMH x 15

The Main Event

The PAX moseyed to the long sidewalk that parallels the main entrance and received their instructions for Broad BOMBS.

  • PAX would Lieutenant Broad Jump up to the first telephone pole (~70 yards), then AYG sprint to the last telephone pole (~70 more yards)
  • Once at then of the sidewalk, a single exercise was performed for a pre-determined number of reps
  • Then PAX would Bernie back to the very start
  • Then PAX would do 10 more of the exercise for that round
  • Rinse and repeat these steps for all exercises, which included:
    • 25 Burpees
    • 50 Overhead Claps
    • 75 Merkins
    • 100 Big Boy Situps
    • 125 Squats (shortened to 50 for time)

The PAX then made their way back to the Shovelflag for the COR and NOR and COT.

MOLESKIN and BULLHORN

  • We enjoyed having Wilbur out to join us. He is in town due to his mother being in the hospital here in Nashville, and our prayers go out to him and his family
  • More PAX need to take their DRP and keep Atlantis popping like the days of yore (i.e. Swaggy P). Let’s get out there gents!

PAX:  Black Widow, Not a Sport, Leatherneck, Umbrella, Boone’s Farm, Offshore, TOGA (QIC)

Seven redwoods posted to get a bit stronger with coupons today, and it went something like this:

Mosey around to Murray Ln and then back for warmarama.., the usual stuff.  Next we grabbed coupons out of Leatherneck’s sled to commence a coupon fest that bared no resemblance to the running only workouts of the past two weeks.  The fun included: curls, squats, single leg squats, deadlifts, lawnmowers, goblet squats, various merkin configurations, and Umbrella’s favorite, the weighted sit-up.

COT with YHC taking us out.

Stay Classy,
