    God is good all of the time!

  • No Dinner, No Sleep…No Problem (until now)

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW

    God is good all of the time!

    Great work under the bus loop by the PAX today.  No laying in puddles or shivering from a cold soaking for any of the PAX.  Also good to have Bocelli join us in his first KB workout.  Hope to see you again soon! Great work all around.

    Many prayers today for those suffering from cancer.  Hopefully the hope that comes from the events of Holy Week are something all of us can meditate on and give thanksgiving for.  God is good all of the time!

  • KBs & 3.14

    Nothing like some KBs to start off your pie day.  Put in the reps, break a sweat and burn enough calories for some pie later on.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ

      • APD
    • Mosey to the picnic tables for 11s with 2x step-ups and sit ‘n presses

  • Handshake’s Jazz Hands

    A lucky 7 battled the elements and embraced a modified Q on this Super Tuesday.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • Suzanne Somers
      • Merkins
      • LBC
      • APD
    • Burpee march down the bus stop (1 between every pole)
    • 2024s – 20 reps at one end of the bus loop and 24 at the other; return to sender for next exercise, bro-code style
      • HRM
      • WWII sit-ups
      • Squats
      • CD
      • Side crunches – each side
      • 2x crab cakes

    • Mosey back to parking lot for COT with YHC taking us out

    Great work from the PAX today.  YHC cannot count and performed more burpees than required.  We also learned that Handshake enjoys reminiscing about his show choir days, jazz hands and all.  Rain was not a factor.  Cardio and ground and pound for all.

    2024 theme for our Super Tuesday election year.

    God is good all of the time!

  • Not Into Sharing the Reps

    Twelve noble warriors welcomed the final weekend of February with an abundance of mumble-chatter and old-man energy.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • DQ
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • Suzanne Somers
      • Merkins
      • LBC
    • Mosey for a bit before finding a spot to do a one-man Dora on the football field – each man does all of the reps in 5 intervals with a run in between
      • 100 HRM
      • 200 monkey humpers
      • 300 LBC
    • Mosey to the pull-up bars for a ladder – 8 pull-ups down to 1 with 20 2x FK between each set
    • Mosey to the parking lot for a 3x check – run, ball-to-the-wall-toe-taps and APDs
    • Mary
      • FM
      • Side crunches each side
      • DMH
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    Great work from the PAX today!  It was a bit of a ball buster.  YHC said to hell with sharing reps on that one-man Dora. Gypsy had something return to sender during the workout so YHC gave himself t-claps.  Great to see Nightcrawler putting a bit of a streak of Saturdays together.

    Prayers up for Homer as his mom is in hospice care. 

    God is good all of the time!

      • DQ
      • Helicopters

    • COT with YHC taking us out

    Great work by the PAX today.  Several PAX members sported the short shirt tail, exposing the midriff for all to gag on.  Pasty and unsightly.  A lot to stomach (pardon the pun) in the gloom.  Great to have Pigskin back safe!

    Check slack for upcoming Frozen Triangle and Grow Ruck.

    God is good all of the time!
