Move Your Ass

AO: Jericho

When: 2026-03-13

QIC: Simple Jack

PAX (10): Baskins, Geek Squad, Jiminy, Ma Bell, Schneider, Sweetchuck, Tsunami, UMass-Todd Doherty, Walgreens

Preamble:

What was originally supposed to be a nice little beatdown became modified slightly as a few of the PAX thought they were the Q who wanted to take charge in doing their own warm-o-rama by doing some merkins. They quickly learned who was in charge. We also had a little mumble chatter going on, those PAX also learned who was in charge. Point being when you show your ass up to Jericho you better know your role and move your ass.

Warm-O-Rama:

The PAX began their mozy on down towards the main parking lot by the back football field, where we began our warm-o-rama. As we assembled Tsunami and Ma Bell decided to kick things off by doing merkins while I was giving out our principles. And as Michael Jordan says, "That's all I needed." Merkins - 28 Side Straddle Hop - 20 Imperial Walkers - 10 each leg Windmill - 10 Willie Mays Hayes - 10 Because Pax wanted to do so merkins so badly, on the mozy back to the main football field by the entrance they had to do 5 Mike Tysons at every street light.

The Thang:

This took some time, as the PAX seemed rather confused by the simplistic nature of understanding what a corner is and how 2 rounds operate: On the main football field we did 2 sets, each for one round of a standard 4 corner drill, After completing each corner, Pax would have to run back to the 50 yard line to deposit 3 Burpees before moving to the next corner: Set 1: Corner 1: 10 Merkins Corner 2: 20 Squats Corner 3: 10 Carolina Dry Docks Corner 4: 20 Lunges (10) each leg Set 2: Corner 1: 10 Big Boys Corner 2: 20 Mountain Climbers (10) each leg Corner 3: 20 American Hammers (10) each leg Corner 4: 10 Burpees Then we assembled over at the goal line were we proceeded to do an escalator: Each of the following sets would increase by 5 reps. Pax would complete the set, then run the 25 yd line and back where they would begin the next set. We did 3 rounds, and had to deal with mumble chatter. Sweetchuck, however, enforced his presence by reminding them to focus on the workout and not donuts and coffee coming afterwards. These Pax had to move their ass to finish this round Set 1: 5 Burpees 10 Merkins 15 Squats 20 LBC Set 2: 10 Burpees 15 Merkins 20 Squats 25 LBC Set 3: 15 Burpees 20 Merkins 25 Squats 30 LBC Then because I had to remind these PAX who the Q was at the beginning of the beatdown, I decided to extend arts and crafts time, with another partner exercise: Partner 1 would bear crawl to the 20 yard line and back Partner 2 will then do: 15 Monkey Humpers, 15 Freddie Mercury (each leg), 15 Plank Jacks We did 2 rounds of this before the PAX found themselves back to the safety of the flag  

COT:

When doing our name-o-rama at Jericho, I want it to be the standard that after stating our F3 name, you then share either a challenge or a victory you faced this week, before moving onto the next PAX in name-o-rama. I got this idea from Crabcake and how he shook the coke bottle and slowly opening it vs letting it explode. From our COT it is clear that everyone in our circle is going through something, and the bond we have is bigger than most can comprehend. This is a true brotherhood. Whether big or small, with the group we have, we all know we can lean on each other in times of good and bad.
