  • Hot Potato AO

    The Tunnel, Tunnel Vision or just the permanent Hot Potato.  Take your pick.  A respected and hobbled PAX converged upon Wellsley in the Friday gloom.  Here is how it went down:

    • Attila
      • COP
        • SSH
        • Ukrainian soldiers
        • IW
        • Helicopters
        • Arm circles
        • DMH
        • Merkins
        • LBC
        • APD
      • 4x check
        • Run
        • HRM
        • WWII sit-ups
        • Lunges
    • Tater
      • 100 abs exercises
        • 25 WWII sit-ups
        • 25 side crunches, each side
        • 25 H2H
      • 100 arm exercises
        • 25 merkins
        • 25 CDD
        • 25 decline merkins
        • 25 incline merkins
      • 25 ab exercises
        • 50 American hammers
        • 25 WWI sit-ups

        • 15 Ltd Dan’s
        • 20 HRM
        • 25 box cutters
    • Gomer – stretching and COT

    Great work from the PAX today, a respected but hobbled crew.  Eventually this AO will get on the Q sheet and the reign of potato will end.  Out of principle, Gomer insists Roger Roger follow through.

    The Bridge with Kubota on 12/27.  Breaking Bread is 12/27 and 12/28.  Holiday parties are all around.  Gomer is meeting folks tomorrow for Army-Navy.  Text him if interested.

    God is good all of the time!

    • COP

    • Mary
      • FM
      • Side crunches
      • Elbow plank
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    Schools are closed, and most of the PAX believes it will not be necessary.  A solid showing, no man left behind.

    Just a reminder that lunch is tomorrow at Tres Machos.  Still need a volunteer for Breaking Bread on 12/28.  Kubota is leading the Bridge on 12/27. 

    Prayers up for our brothers in need, especially those looking for jobs.  God is good all of the time!

    Convergence on Thursday at 7 am at Mary.

    God is good all of the time!

  • Trail of Divots

    Eighteen KB warrior assembled for a weighted journey today at Circus Maximus.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • Ukrainian soldiers
      • IW
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • DMH
      • Merkins
      • LBC
      • APD
    • KB carry to the band/practice fields for a KB beast:
      • Rifle carry & sit ‘n presses
      • RH waiters carry & high pulls
      • LH waiters carry & curls
      • Death crawls & overhead presses
      • Lunge walks & tricep presses
      • Back carries & lawnmower pulls (each arm)
    • Jog the field
    • KB carry back to the flag for COT with YHC taking us out

    Great to see some familiar faces back at Circus Maximus today and solid work all around.  Mumble-chatter was intense for COP, but it dissipated as the workout progressed.  The biggest challenge of the KB beast is being under weight for so long.  Plenty of divots were left on the turf as KBs were dropped in fatigue. 

    Convergence next week at Mary for Thanksgiving.  Workout starts at 0700. 

    Prayers up for those dealing with sickness/injuries, job searches and family member next week.  God is good all of the time!  Lots to be thankful for.

  • Staying Dry, But Not an Off-Day

    The rain did not stop 17 KB warriors from descending upon Circus Maximus on a Thursday morning.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • Ukrainian soldiers
      • IW
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • DMH
      • HRM
      • LBC
    • KB one-man Dora – 5 sets of each exercise with a run between sets for a total of:
      • 100 high pulls
      • 150 curls
      • 200 lawnmower pulls
    • 3x check
      • Run
      • Squats
      • Tricep press
    • Stretch and COT with YHC taking us out

    Today was much like a night in White Deer’s bedroom, dry (thanks to the bus stop overhang) but not so fun.  The reps added up, especially for those men with higher weights.  All in all, a great chance to be together and get stronger.  YHC even added in some running.

    Prayers up for Kubota’s family, Chicarrone’s friend’s family, and those dealing with cancer, finding a job, and family stress. 

    AO to be named in Wellsley to continue soft launch tomorrow.  5:30 boot camp.

    God is good all of the time!
