Run back to the flag. Oh, wait. YHC is still waiting for his flag to come in the mail. We were still miraculously able to find our way back without it. Christmas miracle Burgandy says.
20 Mountain Climbers, 20 Plank Jacks & 20 more Monkey Humpers to finish it off.
Count – Name – BOM.
Thanks to the other PAX for coming out on Christmas to keep me company out there today.
6 posted this morning at La Mesa. YHC put on the seat and wheel heat while headed to the AO. 41 degrees… East coasters must be laughing at us.
We jumped right into the workout. 5 burpees OYO and then 10 SSH IC…repeat with 4 burpees, 10 SSH…,3,2,1 etc.
Then we started to run. Stop and do Wheel of Merkins (YHCs new favorite) IC, then run some more. Stop for some copper head squats, IC. Now crab walk and stop for some mountain climbers. YHC found a new way to do the mountain climbers that works the core aggressively. We will do many more of those in the days to come as YHC has the next 3 Qs!
The pax completed most of that in about 13 minutes. So we had to fill up 30 more minutes. More running, some monkey humpers in front of the beautiful holiday decorations around La Mesa, more wheel of merkins… repeat.
Disclaimer was given at the start. Count, Name, BOM. Sharkbait shared how happy he was with the turnout on this cool Monday morning.
We will be having a post on Christmas at the beach. Are there any other AOs at a beach?
We lost a few pax to graduation. We wish them the best and know a few are going to post at their new AOs.
5 pax and a single 2.0 posted today at Carmel High.
Disclaimer given.
15 Armies IC, 100 Moroccan Night Clubs… yes, 100. 5 SSH and then 10 OYO in silence. If you don’t stop exactly on 10 you do 5 burpees. The Q was the only one that messed up the count and had to do 5 burpees while the rest of the Pax watched. Windmill IC and the ground was wet again and the Q didn’t want to get wet so on to hillbillies IC.
The Thang:
In honor of Burgundy we did a KSBW workout. It is hard to find an exercise that starts with a K so we did planK jacKs for the K.
12 plank jacks, run 1/4 track, 12 SSH, run 1/4 track, 12 Burpees, run 1/4 track, 12 Wheel of Merkins…. repeat 11… 10…. etc. Oh,,, and the Q brought a tire that one of the Pax had to carry on the runs.
When we got lower in the count we moved over to the hill and ran up backwards, and then back down doing KSBWs.
32 Pax posted today… a record for Saturday. Keep it up Monterey!
…well, it seemed like it because the 2 Pax that did show did the work of 32 in one of the most grueling workouts of the year.
Armies IC, Cherry Pickers IC, Wind mills IC, Hill Billies IC and a lot of chatter between so the two pax lost count on all the cadences.
5 SSH IC and then 10 OYO in silence and stop exactly after the 10 (4 count). If you don’t stop exactly than 5 burpees for you. One PAX stopped, then 1 x4 count SSH later the other stopped. And neither knew if they got it right so we passed on the burpees.
The thang:
Mosey to ping pong table. Ping Pong tournament! Double elimination. Best of 3 points. While playing the rest of the Pax – oh, wait. There were no other pax. We will keep that for next time.
Mosey to get brick. “Race to…” excercise. First Pax to count calls recover.
100 Overhead Presses After every 25 overhead Presses, drop and do 10 leg raises.
Bear and brick to 50
Repeat for 200 Curls and do 10 Squats every 25.
Bear and brick back to goal line.
Repeat for 300 mountain climbers and do 10 SSHs.
Brick Clean up. Carmel High maintenance workers repairing fence so we ran with all the bricks up to Sharkbaits truck for safekeeping.
4 strong at Carmel High this morning. Weather was gloomy in the distance but perfect on the field. I was honestly hoping for massive amounts of rain but it was great to have a day without rain given the past week of non-stop wetness. Nice breeze coming from the south… it was perfect. Some motivations of today’s work out came from Kobayashi (F3 Greenwood) who visited Monterey earlier in the year.
Q woke up at 5:15 today and watched some KSBW. Thought he saw Burgundy in one of the station advertisements. Q pondered why KSBW is both ABC and NBC…. hmmmm.
Q: Cleveland Rocks

The thang:
Get brick…. thanks Sharkbait!
Form a rectangle with 1 Pax at each corner. Pax 1 – Does 10 curls and then Peter Parkers to Pax 2 who is holding a plank. Pax 2 departs with bear crawl 20 yards to Pax 3 who is doing squats. Pax 3 departs with crab walk 15 yards to Pax 4 who is doing LBCs. Thankfully Pax 4 dried out the turf and we all did our LBCs in that spot. Pax 4 runs to station 1 to do the cycle again. Keep this look for 20 minutes.
Run to back of school….
On your own: 30 burpees , 10 SSH,
30 Groiners, 10 ssh
30 jumps over curb (two count)….
Once complete catch up with last pax to help them complete the work out (Thanks Sharkbait for getting me to the finish on this one!)
Run back to field
Now team up in twos: Pax 1 starts on 300 plank jacks, 200 plank dips, 100 Makter n diase while Pax 2 karaoke to 20 and does 10 monkey humpers then runs back to take over for Pax 1.
Time ran out so we didn’t quite finish the above. Monkey Humpers were interestingly difficult even at that low interval. The runs back were more like a mosey.
Put brick back – thanks This-One-Time

THE THANG
This was a Thanksgiving “Pop Up” and impromptu workout. We decided together prior to the big meal and burn some calories. We began by kicking off Thanksgiving with a “TURKEYS” inspired workout. Still didn’t use the frozen turkeys.
A single round “TURKEYS” Thrusters x 10 Upright-Rows x 10 Reverse Crunch x 10 King of Heart suicides (run forward to the mid-line of a soccer field, then backward run to the sideline. Then forward run to the opposing sideline, and backwards run back to the start) Elf on a Shelf x 10 each side Yoke walk to opposing sideline and back Star jacks x 10
Then we loaded up the 2.0 into a jogging stroller, as a restrictor plate and mosey down the hill. At the bottom the 2.0 asked if we could “alligator” walk so we did about 20 yards of Alligator Merkins.
Then we mosey’ed some more. We found a park and did 25 dips, and 25 calf raises. Then we mosey’ed back to the shovel flag.
We played a round of “F, F, Goose….” Where all pax are in a circle in the plank and the ‘it’ tags each pax calling out “Duck, Duck…” eventually choosing a “Goose” who had to beat the “it” around the circle and back into the plank. Wet dewy grass made for some slippery fun!
After this we called the workout!
In Lieu of Words of Wisdom…. Words of Thanks Sharkbait – Friends and family, and living in Montery. Cleveland Rocks – Friends [Hogs Breath’s] 2.0 – Friends and Family Hogs Breath – Finding F3 and fighting off the sad clown.

THE
THANG
Kicking
off Thanksgiving with a “TURKEYS” inspired workout. I wanted to use frozen
turkeys as coupons…but Flea talked me out of it, something about salmenolla….
After
grabbing our coupons.
AMRAP of “TURKEYS”
Thrusters x 15
Upright-Rows x 15
Rock-ee x 10
King of Heart suicides (run
forward to the first cone, then backward run to the sideline, then fwd to the
second cone, etc. rinse and repeat till an entire set of suicides was
accomplished).
Elf on a Shelf x 10 each
side
Yoke walk to opposing
sideline and back

mumblechatter was that everyone seemed to hate the Elf on the Shelf…I’ll have
to come up with a different “E” exercise for the next holiday.

A beautiful morning out at Carmel High. We didn’t stop moving from 7-8 with a lot of running, merkins, SSH, Burpees, bobbing and weaving. That’s what happens when you watch a David Goggins video the night before.
Warmup: SSH – 30 IC… I think I lost count and just kinda went with it! Goofball – 25 IC Mountain Man Poopers – 15 IC
THE THANG We began with a Caterpillar routine: formed a line in the plank position. The last pax would box jump over the remaining pax. This continued in the same a la fashion of an Indian run.
Once on
the other side of the soccer field, we returned back via “Fuzzy Wuzzy” this was
a bear crawl Indian run routine back to the starting sideline.
Howling
Monkey: this was a COP where all pax grapped their ankles, the first pax began
10 monkey humpers, as soon as he was finished the next pax began 10 monkey humpers,
this continued around the circle for a total of three times!
Not to lose
the soreness in our legs, we mosey’d to the bottom of the hill.
We
performed a few rounds of Sun Gods.
Then 125
squats, OYO. Immediately once the pax was down with the air squats he mosey’d
back up the hill to shovel flag.
We still
had about 7 mins left, so we began a “7 mins of Mary”
LBC, plank
jacks, atomic sit-ups, and gas pumps. After each exercise all pax would sprint to
the opposing sideline and back to the starting sideline.
