Cuda meets Walker

Aaaannnd we’re back for the second installment of “What you missed at Hog & Coyote” and Barracuda could not be a better venue. The AO laid out perfectly for an almost exact replica of a small section of the Hog & Coyote. A very brief disclaimer was provided since we did have an FNG present. YHC informed the PAX that we had just completed a pain station and our next stop would be the parking…

Simmons Bermuda Triangle 6/18 Q!

I welcomed the PAX then gave the disclaimer. We did a short mosey to the front of the school and then circled up for a warmup with cadence doing 10 side straddle hops, 10 produce pickers, 10 moraccan nighclubs and some hurdler stretching(fan fav). After the workout we did a mosey over to the workout on the backside of the track. The workout was a board of pain: 1 lap around track .25 miles 25…

Kettle Bells at Cannonball

It was a Great Morning at Cannonball with the weather at 67 degrees and 92% humidity!  The disclaimer was given and off to the workout! We started off with a warmup and during the warmup  there was chatter about isn’t this supposed to be a kettle bell workout!  Yes it was coming.  We had a few guys who did both Ruck and Kettelbell.  Thanks to Quasi who had an extra bell for O’Reilly who was…

C.B. Recipe = Rocky Theme Songs, Burpees, Quarter Pounders and Kettlebells

C.B. Recipe = Rocky Theme Songs, Burpees, Quarter Pounders and Kettlebells I introduced myself, said the disclaimer, then we got started on Warm-O-Rama.  It consisted of overhead claps, then 50 burpees.   I played theme songs from Rocky to override all of the mumble chatter.   The fellas didn’t like my burpee warm up …  c’est la vie! The next thing, guys grabbed their kettlebells and Whitesnake with his cinderblock we headed over to the goal line to…

Speed Work, Recover, Repeat

11 Pax showed up on a humid morning in the gloom ready to work, including two first timers at Barracuda.  Everyone got a little individual stretching in, YHC gave a brief overview of the work for the day and we were off.   We ran across Mill Pond, hung a left on Nautical Dr. and made our way down to Azteca for some speed work.   The loop around the shopping center and Azteca was…

and the Walls came tumbling down!

YHC was humbled by the chance to Q the Deep!  We had 19 HIMs that showed up and did the hard thing!  8 for boot camp and 11 ruckers for a Two Ferns led TugBoat. Disclaimer was given to all and we set out for a short mosey.  Nemo had given his insulated gloves to Grizzly and I ensured him we would not be getting wet in the grass! After the short mosey, a warm-up…

It’s October…dooohhh….

Quick and dirty – we had 10 hard charging pax come out for a fun christmas ‘ish’ themed beat down.  My intent was to lead off w/ a christmas song, but it was so stinking cold this AM so we did a quick lap around the front of the school.  From there, nothing but business. JINGLE BELL ROCKS – hold a 6 inch hold the entire song, except when the word “JINGLE” is mentioned, then…

Crows Nest AMRAPs

I’ll make this brief.  We did 4 exercises.  As many reps as possible (AMRAP).  Each one went for 8 minutes.  Every 20 reps, you got a ‘break’ and did a lap around the parking lot and then continued back w/ your reps.  Hard rock was played the whole time.  It was in the 40’s, and Quasi lost his shirt within the first 10 minutes.  Ron Jon GRUNTED the entire time and it was glorious. 1…
