Gates at Ansley is a thing?

DICCS given, FNG introduced around, and we’re moseying.. SSH/IW/Morrocan Nightclubs/ some other stuff x18 reps to warm up.

Thang: Mosey’d off campus to check out the super smooth pavement in the Gates of Ansley. Before we did though, we caught a seat wall for some step ups and dips x2.. Once in the neighborhood, we did a burpee at every mailbox on the left and big boys at every mailbox on the right (at the halfway mark we switched to merkins on the right, stayed with burpees for the left).. That one looked better on paper, cause that was brutal. Mary’d til the 6 got in and mosey’d back to the MES rock pile. Partner up and do rock work while other partner runs, to burn up the rest of the time. Bust it back to COT where Smuggler and Long Haul try to see who can pull a hamstring faster.

Nice cool morning and the pavement in the Gates really is pristine, gloves not even really needed. Bunion took us out. Need Q’s for Last Call, which is moving to a 6:02 start now that school is out. Welcome FNG Mike Howard from Firethorne. He is in the rubber business (more like sells rubber to tire manufacturer’s, but that didn’t matter for naming) so he’s Tickler..

Are Body Shop backblasts even a thing?

Warmup: Mosey to back parking lot. SSH, Moroccan Nightclubs, IW’s, 3 burpees, plank jacks, runners stretch, mountain climbers, calf stretch..

Thang: Mosey to the playground and partner up (only 4 of us plus 2 Mashers, so partnering wasn’t super complicated). Partner 1 runs a lap around the track with a burpee at far end, while Partner 2 starts into 100X each of BB sit ups, Bobby Hurleys, Hand release merkins. That sucked, so we audibled to 100X Dry Docks, Heels to Heaven and LS Squats for the round 2 repeato.

Mosey’d to entrance rock pile and got a lifting rock. 25X curls, tris and military press as a group.. Then run a lap around parking lot. 2nd set 25X hanging rows, bench and side to side’s, run a lap..

Almost time, so put rocks back and short mosey to COT area where Penalty Box and Mayhem were just finishing up their breakfast sandwiches and 2nd cup of coffee.. They joined us for a little ab work and time was called.

Good work out there boys. Way to push.

Sorry Premature, I take my time.

Frozen Fog?:

Belated BB here boys, sorry Premature. A dozen pax joined me on a morning that my phone said “frozen fog” in the weather app. Not sure I’ve seen that one before, but couldn’t fartsack a Q. Remembered I was on Q while taking my son to hoops the night before, so I talked and he wrote as we knocked out the workout.

Warmup:

Mosey, then 25X each IC: SSH, IW, 3 burpees then mosey to new spot. 25X each hand release merkins, mountain climbers, calf stretch.

Thang:

Partner up and grab a rock. One partner runs with a burpee at far corner of track, other partner starts 150 each team exercises. Curls, Tri extensions, presses. Mary til the 6 comes in.

Repeato with new exercises 100 each team: hanging rows, rock squats, bench press

Mosey to covered area picnic tables: 20X each, Dips, step ups, Derkins

Wall squat with 25 each, air presses, jabs

Repeat dips, step ups, Derkins.

Mosey to COT to finish with some ab work.

 

Great work from the crew today. Not a talkative bunch. Got good work in and everyone was encouraging the rest of the pax throughout the workout. Glad I was able to Q this one and glad that Smuggler stepped up to Q the Last Call launch on Friday or we may have been running this one back..

That escalated quickly

VQ today and V Backblast, so bear with me. After getting beat up by Doughboy at Flash yesterday with a ton of mileage in the soup, the thought was to keep the running to a minimum and crush everything else. Had some good seat wall work ready to go….then more Pax kept rolling in hot, too many for the seat wall work.. Audible..Shout out to co site Q/DJ/TJ/Fiji for bringing the speaker and rocking us out.  Let’s roll.

Warm Up: 18 each SSH, IW, Potato Pickers. 9 Shoulder tap merkins.  Downward dog, upward dog. 9 each hand release merkins and BB sit ups.

Warm Up II: Welcome back One Star from the month at the beach for a little rock work, cause that’s his favorite. And because Bottlecap was putting on a gun show… for a tennis guy. Pick a lifting rock, not a running rock. When I said 20 of each, the groans were audible. Curls, Shoulder Press, Tri’s, Swinging lat raises.. Repeato. More groans. Mostly Big Ben as his shoulder is already causing him to lose money on the golf course.

The Thang: Mosey off campus to cul de sac. 18 Dry Docks, then at other end of cul de sac, 18 American Hammers. At start, 18 Merkins, 18 LBC’s at other end. Mary til 6 is in. Sidebar: random guy backing out of his driveway to go to work and see’s 20 dudes sweating in the street. Do I roll window down or no? Oh, I have to now, as this tall skinny guy is putting on the hard sell for me to join the group and skip work.. Then he said something derogatory about Pepsi. The guy sped off.. Probably not an FNG tomorrow..  Repeato. This was possibly my worst call of the day as there was no air.

Headed back to campus for a little wall work, laps, misc ab work. Good workout as there was plenty of complaining and sweating at the COT. I appreciate all of the support on my VQ from everyone today. I’m sure I’m missing some announcements, etc, but that’s all I got..
