Two grizzled vets posted to Batteau to start the week right. Here’s how it went: Warmarama: mosey to the top of the stairs behind the tennis courts for SSHs x 20, IWs x 10, DQs x 10, Freddy Mercuries x 20, Lunge/Elbow/Twists x 10 (YHC saw George Kittle doing these to warm up before the Philly game. After trying them, YHC realized he is not George Kittle). The Thang: COP1 – Bertha (Dora’s big-boned cousin): Pax1 Bernie Sanders to the first lamp post, runs back while Pax2 completes following exercises, flapjack and repeato: 100 x coupon WWIIs200 x curls (Corned…

It was a quiet Monday morning in Forest Hill Park this morning. YHC posted with a fresh head full of ideas from the Exicon. It went down like this. After some brief stretching at the tennis court, the solo beatdown started. B.L.I.M.P.S. was on the menu today and it goes down like this: Six rounds, four corners each, with running between each corner. First round 10 Burpees at each corner, second round 20 lunges at each corner, third round 30 imperial walkers, fourth round 40 merkins, fifth round 50 plank jacks, and sixth round, 60 squats. That little routine took…

Two Hot Potato Warriors showed up this morning for a humidity filled 45 minutes of body conditioning. In typical Batteau fashion the hot potato was warming in the oven, and Double Mint put on his work gloves and picked it up. We started with a mosey on down to to top of the steps near the storage yard for some lite stretching. First order of business was side straddle hops, then Don Quixotes, russian solders, then a few other stretches that are escaping YHC.   YHC picked up the potato having just read the Exicon at the stop lights on…

In typical YHC fashion, just a few days late with the BB. Batteau was looking pretty quite when YHC arrived on Monday morning, but thankfully another Keydet showed up to join in the fun. In typical Batteau fashion there was a big steaming hot potato waiting for us when we got there. Flatline picked up the potato to start us off with some warm-up exercises that consisted of… Helicopters, Donny Q’s, reverse scopions, and several other exercises that are escaping YHC’s memory now. The potato was passed on to YHC, and having just read through the Exicon before exiting the…

One lone PAX at Batteau this morning ready to do battle against the fart sack. Thankfully YHC did a quick read through the Exicon and Lexicon and was fresh full of ideas. YHC started out with some light warm-up stretches, then quickly proceeded to do the first exercise – Burp Back Mountain. This usually requires two but since there was one, it was modified and YHC did everything. Started out at the bottom of the big hill, did 10x burpees then Bernie Sanders up to the first light pole, then run back down, and repeat the run 5x. Do 10…

Two road weary, grizzled old men posted to Batteau this morning to turn it up to 11. Here’s how it sounded.. COP – mosey to the top of the stairs, then SSHs x 20, DQ x 10, IW x 20, Flutter Kicks x 20, APDs x 20, Grab a rock* from the coupon pile for The THANG – The Angus. Named for the sole remaining original member of AC DC and hero of parking-lot-smoking, Trans Am driving mulleteers everywhere. A senior citizen and still rocking it out. Basically an 11s with coupons and stairs and pain. 10 x squat presses…
