A foggy morning greeted five of the GridIron Faithful who brought their KBs to the AO for a Three Period contest that went something like the following under a Tri-Q: Thang: First Period (EW) — Three sets of 2-hand KB Swings, right-hand cleans, left-hand cleans, right-hand snatches, and left-hand snatches (40 secs/20 secs off). Eight sets of Curb KB Pullovers (Tabata 20 secs on/10 secs off). Second Period (WD) — Three sets of Dips, KB Goblet Squats, Merkins, and LBCs (alt. APDs) (40 secs on/20 secs off).

Deciding to brave the elements after an extended exchange with Mrs. Chum Bucket concerning the wisdom of YHC’s decision, YHC arrived at the AO last Saturday for GridIron. En route, the roads were mostly empty as snow continued to fall. YHC arrived to, not unexpectedly, find no other takers for the morning’s workout. The show did go on and it went down like so: Initial COP with SSHs, Hillbillies, Don Quixotes, Imperial Walkers, and Arm Circles. Trudged to the road on the opposite side of the pretty, but snow-laded football field for The Beast (paralleling the field itself) with Burpees,…
Fourteen (14) towering redwoods and two (2) FNGs overcame well-founded objections from moms and posted at #GridIron for the First Annual Christmas Treasure Hunt. The weather left much to be desired, the temperature hovering around 37F and rain falling relentlessly. Johnsonville took Q, and this is how the Treasure Hunt went: CHRISTMAS EVE THANG: Warmup (24x ssh, 24x don quiotes, 10x mercans, 40x arm circles) YHC informed the pax that earlier that morning, he had spotted and apprehended a wary Christmas elf. The elf told YHC that a stash of cupcakes was hidden somewhere in the AO. The elf could…
There will be a Holiday Treasure Hunt at the 2.0 friendly workout at #GridIron. The clues are all sealed in baggies with candy canes and ready to be hidden around the AO. The trail will lead to a hidden stash of cupcakes. Mmmm. Dress ’em up warm and dry. Johnsonville
We will host a 2.0 friendly workout on Christmas Eve at #GridIron. Mrs. Earthworm is supplying us with candy canes, and there may be other special treats for the PAX, such as mercans, cupcakes, bear crawls, and squats Merry Christmas! Jville
A PAX 5 strong ignored sub-freezing temperatures to post for this morning’s GridIron workout. Approaching the shortest day of the year, light was dim immediately prior to our 7 AM start. We planted the ShovelFlag and went at it like so: Startup COP on the main football field with 5 Burpees, 25 x SSHs, 20 x Imaginary Jumpropes, 20 x Imperial Walkers, 20 x Hillbillies, 20 x Don Quixotes, and 15 x Arm Circles (big and small, forward and reverse). Mosey to the sand volleyball court. Bear Crawl down one side, Zombie Walk the end line, Crab Walk the opposite…
Two became three Pax when NightCrawler used his best recon skills and joined Attila and YHC to push the AO boundaries on a run well outside the GridIron turf. It was a beautiful and crisp morning but the coldness quickly disappeared during the course of the following: X25 SSHs, X25 IWs, and X10 Merkins all in 4-ct cadence. Thang: Admittedly, what YHC calls a run the Pax would call a mosey. In any event, the run/mosey took the Pax from the Pouncy Tract parking lot to the front of the school, to the back of the school and down past…
Five men gathered in the Gloom for a 0645 PreGame under Cecil that illuminated an otherwise overcast morning. Having added the Sword of God’s Word to our spiritual armor, the Pax re-grouped in the Pouncey Tract parking lot eager to boost their physical condition, loosely (very, and unordered) as follows: Thang: X25 SSHs X10 Eight-County Body Builders Pan Pax X25 DQs X25 APDs Dips and KB Pullovers Tabata-style Pressups and KB Halos Tabata-style Merkins/CDDs and KB Standing Rows Tabata-style X25 CDDs Sideline to Sideline Kettlebell medley: – KB carries (single, double, and triple), including suitcase, rack, waiter, and 360s -…
