Fifteen gathered for Saturday’s GridIron. Short mosey up the driveway and oval up on the pavement for warmup with SSHs, IWs, DQs, Squats, and Arm Circles. Clear the driveway for a few late arriving PAX members early in the sequence. Move off the pavement and into the park to the nearby bars. Break into three groups of five and take a position on the perimeter of the bar box. One guy from each group finds a bar, completes one Pull Up, then holds the pull while PAX, from Plank position, counts down from 12. Switch guys and do the same…

Seven posted for the most recent GridIron installment – again, with rain. Quick warm up mosey through the parking lot followed by startup COP with SSHs, IWs, Helicopters, DQs, and Arm Circles, among a few others. Some jokes were told during the warmup. You had to be there. Move to the concrete block wall of the concession stand. Find a spot along the wall and complete 10 Donkey Kicks followed by one PAX member counting down from 15. Complete seven rounds total – one for each participant. Return to the parking lot for Jack Webb-style variant with one Squat followed…
10 warriors showed up on a crisp Mid-May to celebrate Attila’s birthday by doing a workout led by Fireman Ed. The workout went like this: COP: DQs, CPs, Merkins, Scorpion kicks (the PAX had a lot of mumble chatter on this; I am told this was because there was a lot of chest rubbing against the blacktop. Perhaps the third nipples that developed from the vaccine shots were getting removed so I was doing y’all a favor), Freddy Mercuries, large arm circles. Mosey to the soccer field. Exercise 1: Elevens with diamond merkins and SSHs Exercise 2: Four corners with…
A dozen posted for Saturday’s GridIron. Meeting and greetings were followed by a mosey around the nearby football field to the asphalt high jump area inside the school’s running track. COP there with SSHs, IWs, DQs, Helicopters, APDs, Suzanne Somers, Shoulder Taps, and Arm Circles. Relocate to the closest parking lot for a round of Lindsays with Forward Lunges and a core thing YHC can’t remember. One of you guys might be able to recall. Move back up the hill and plank up in the track. One guy at a time, complete a 40 yard dash and return to plank.…

12 merry Pax, mostly comprised of regulars and a couple irregulars descended upon a surprisingly sunny Q from Fireman Ed. Today Ed “borrowed” several coupons from the fashionable near West End to help with the beatdown. Fireman Ed was unsure what to do with no rain falling during his Q. COP: DQs, CPs, FMs (with White Deer doing a side to side roll motion), merkins and arm circles. Take a coupon and mosey to mud field. Elevens with HRMs and bench kicks. Mosey to front of school. Triple check with donkey kicks, coupon swings, run around loop; balls to the…
A PAX of 10 posted for Saturday’s GridIron.

Restart mosey and find our way to the artificial turf. Circle again and start exercise sequence involving 13 exercises, alternating chest, legs, and abs with a little cardio. Complete 13 reps of the first exercise and seven reps of the remaining 12 exercises. Next…

The Spring weather brought out a whopping 18 men (1 of whom was a FNG) this morning and many questioned if we were having a convergence. After a brief warm-up we moseyed over to Burpee Hill for, you guessed it, our first exercise 10 mins of burpees. Fortunately the Pax didn’t revolt so we moseyed to chin-up bars for a modified 11’s of pull-ups and step-ups (just did odd numbers after that first exercise of 10 mins of burpees). Striker Park’s soft, comfortable, dry, turf field was in use so we moseyed to the wet, muddy, smelly Grid Iron for…
