12 Days of Beatdown, I mean Christmas

When : 01.01.2022

Where : Atlantis (Medal of Honor Park)

Conditions : 73 with a breeze to come after the workout.

QIC : Moist

PAX : Buckner, Wallstreet, Sludge (R×2), Moist (R×1), Coach O (visiting from SC), Huckleberry and Fortnite (visiting from AR)

After grabbing coupons, provided graciously by Sludge, we took a walk to the site of gift giving.

The Thang : After running short on time for a personal Christmas Day workout with Mommas Boy, who lost out to the fartsack today, QIC decided his 12 gifts of beatdown were to be distributed for a late Christmas gift to the PAX. Not one to be much on the song, The 12 days of Christmas, it only seemed fitting to start off the new year with a challenge to his frustration.

To the same format of the song, we tackled: 1. Squat thrust w/coupon
2. Boat Canoe w/coupon
3. Forward Lunge w/coupon
4. Incline Merkin no coupon
5. Hernia w/coupon
6. American Hammer w/coupon
7. Ballerinas w/coupon
8. Sweat Angels no coupon
9. Reverse Lunge w/coupon
10. Decline Merkin no coupon
11. Plank Jack no coupon
12. Burpees no coupon

You guessed it, 1, 2&1, 3,2, &1, and so on. As QIC noticed the time, as we approached the midway point, QIC decided to modify. He felt it necessary to make sure all gifts were received and we moved from 6 straight to 12 to get each gift in a final Countdown. With the beatdown space being approximately 1/3 of a mile path of sidewalk, we covered about 2-1/2 miles for the gift giving and receiving. What a glorious way to close the Christmas season a d kick off the New Year.

COT

Announcements : Discussion and invitation to the visiting PAX, to join us on our inaugural 2022 Coffeteria Crawl.

Prayer requests: Safe travels home for visiting PAX and families. Protection and healing for Buckner’s sister who has covid. Gekko’s dad. Moist’s father-in-law.

Leg Day!

When: 11/10/18

QIC: Reboot

The PAX: Sludge, Pew, Boots, Plunge, Reboot

Conditions: A crisp, cool 43 degrees with sun and a stiff breeze to drive it all home

The cool weather brought joy and that certain feeling of being alive that only comes with a cold wind blowing through your soul.

Disclaimer

Warm-up:

  • SSH x25 IC
  • Good Mornings  x15 IC
  • Walking Hillbillies x25 IC
  • Divers x15 IC

At this point the PAX were feeling a bit warmer, despite the early mumble chatter occurring during the divers. To increase blood flow, a halfish mile mosey broke out until we arrived at the all purpose field.

Tha Thang:

At this point the beauty of the day inspired such joie de vivre that the Q boldly increased the next plan from elevens to twenty-ones.

  • Get-Ups
  • Squat walk approximately 50 yards to the light pole
  • Squat Jumps
  • Sprint back to start

After taking 18 minutes to complete the first 6 rounds and nearly face-planting multiple times trying sprint on jump-squat induced jelly legs, the Q realized the vast error of his ways and called recover.

Mosey to the benches at the dog park for another round

  • Plank Jacks x20 OYO
  • Decline Merkin x25 OYO
  • BBSU x50 OYO
  • Dips x30 OYO

Mosey back to the grassy plot in front of the stage for a bit of Mary

5 Pax arrived to conquer the foggy, humid Atlantis undeterred by the fartsack.   YHC & Buckner stoked after our Knozit-style interview with FOX 10.  Splashing Merlot from the PAX X 3 seemed to be proof of our stokedness.  On the other hand, we are excited for the Sadclowns in Mobile.  One more opportunity to see MobileRising.  What is true is that we all posted and got better.
