14 Pax said “It is humid. It is hot. Should I go to Gridiron? Why not?”. COP: DQs, Jazzercise, Invisible jump ropes, merkins, MCs, LBCs. Mosey run with merkins. This is where we found out that despite his size Tater has quite the high decibel yell. The intent was to jog and then do 10 merkins when called. Some of the PAX had trouble hearing me so Tater took his degree from the school of the hard of hearing to yell “Down”. Two instances of this bellowing cry was heard from many a pickleballer causing temporary panic amongst them. Ended…

Since we’re getting very close to Independence Day, I prepared a group of questions that I asked when we were doing stretching exercises. See the end of the writeup. Lighthouse had a really great idea. I should have picked my questions from the citizenship exam! Next time!

15 chiseled behemoths of power alternated between Tomahawk Park and Short Pump Middle School. They did not all arrive at 7 but that is OK. The morning went something like this. COP: DMH, DQs, ACs, sumo squats, merkins, plank jacks, Freddies. Mosey to main field. Cumulative exercises with # corresponding with yard line (well there were no yard lines so it was a guess). 10 HRMs, 20 WWIIs, 30 2 count Mountain Climbers, 40 squats, 50 LBCs. Mosey to front of school. Lots of mumble chatter throughout. Triple check with run around oval, donkey kicks and flutter kicks. Mosey to…

Eight regulars and one FNG showed up on a warm Saturday morning. It was 70°F at the start and sunny by the end—close enough to call it the elusive 70 and sunny, just not at the same time. After a warm-up, we hit the football field for a cumulative Beast. We started with Hand-Release Merkins and added a new exercise each round: LBCs, Jump Squats, Crab Cakes, Heels-to-Heavens, and finally, Burpees. Six rounds, six stops, six reps per stop. Beastly effort all around. Welcome to our FNG (Stirrup from now on)—glad to have you out there grinding with us. Great…

A dozen warriors came to Gridiron this morning for a Whitesnake beatdown. No theme, no games–just some hard work, listening too much to Lighthouse, Attila doing his best Napoleon Dynamite impression and lots of burpees. Started with some warmups in the new pickle ball lot including SSH, Ukrainian Soldiers, DQ, Helicopters, Hammers, LBCs, Copperhead Squats, Arm Circles, Merkins and other stuff I don’t remember. Perhaps some sic num-chuk skills. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. Moseyed to the track (which Mr. Rogers already ran around a couple times pre workout) and did a triple check where the timer…

We welcomed another member of the Pig Family (Pigskin, Chicarron, and Piglet)…Chicarron’s son, SPAM. After a brief warm up we hit an Ab, Chest, Leg workout and took breaks with Abs. 50 yards of Ukrainian Soldiers, break with 20 WWIIs, 50 yards of Bear Crawls. Then 7’s on a hill with Git Ups and Merkins. 50 yards of Bernie Sanders. Break with 20 WWIs and 20 Heals to Heaven. 50 yards of Ukrainian Soldiers. Prior to 4 Corners Prostitute Style we needed to demonstrate what a Burpee was…so we did 5. Then we began 4 corners of: 5 Burpees, 10…

Since Attila has finally gotten some respect, we had pre-workout music: RESPECT by Aretha Franklin! We started out in the parking lot and began with the Standard Disclaimer: (Especially important because we had an FNG, headlocked by a combination of Tater, Blue Moon, Pinto and Gypsy at poker.)
