Fighting off the Fartsack
It was a wet day where everyone was tired. A trio of noble warriors still answered the call, and here is what transpired:
- COP
  - 25 SSH
  - 25 IW
  - 15 DQ
  - 20 Flutter Kicks
  - 20 FM
  - 10 2x merkins
  - 15 Scorpion Kicks
  - 20 LBC
  - 15 Pickle Pounders
  - 20 Helicopters
- Mosey to bus loop for a modified game of catch me if you can
  - 3 stopping points along the bus loop where you do 10 burpees
  - Double-weighted carry between burpees
  - 2 total loops/60 burpees
- KB beast down/back bus loop (weighted carries between stops)
  - Sit ‘n presses
  - High pulls
  - Overhead shoulder presses
  - Swings
  - Halos
  - Lawnmower pulls (each arm)
- Run the bus loop
- Mosey to the parking lot for COT with YHC taking us out
This was a workout that the PAX just had to gut through. YHC was tired, and we were under weight for the entire workout. The mid-week malaise as well as the burpees led to a workout sprinkled with some cursing directed at the Q. Solid work though.

Usual announcements…see other BB for details.

God is good all the time!

Cinco de Mayo Re-Enactment
It is Cinco de Mayo and historic battles have been waged on this day. Five noble warriors linked arms at Gridiron and here is how it went down:
- COP
  - 25 SSH
  - 25 IW
  - 20 DQ
  - 10 2x merkins
  - 25 FM
  - 15 pickle pounders
  - 15 scorpion kicks
  - Arm circles – 10 small, 5 big; both directions
- Burpee march in the parking lot
  - 15 burpees over 15 parking spots
  - 20 WWII sit-ups
  - 20 APD
  - Rinse & repeat 5x
- Mosey to the jerkin gym for 4x 8 jerkins
- Mosey along the wooded trial to the softball field for a Dora
  - 100 merkins
  - 200 LBC
  - 300 Flutter kicks
- Mosey to the football field bleachers
  - 25 dips
  - 25 bench kicks
  - Rinse & repeat
- Suicides on the football field (full field, 25/50/25/goal line) until the buzzer sounds
- COT with YHC taking us out
It was taco night at the White Deer estate last night. As a result, the start of the work out commemorated Cinco de Mayo as Mexican forces waged a might battle within his tailpipe. This war was loud, and the PAX served the role of the ill-prepared and weakened French empire. Aside from the re-enactment of this legendary battle within White Deer’s sphincter, we had strong efforts by the remaining PAX. Johnsonville shook off his recent sickness to put in a strong effort. Good work men!

God is good all the time!

Rinse & Repeat
No Q, and originally there were no repeats from last week. Problem solved, rinse and repeat last week. White Deer arrived without Johnsonville, and eventually Johnsonville LIFO’ed due to a faulty alarm. A PAX of 5 linked arms for another Thursday morning of clanging KBs, and here is how it went down:
- COP
  - 25 SSH
  - 25 IW
  - 16 DQ
  - 25 helicopters
  - 10 2x merkins
  - 25 FM
  - 10 burpees
  - Run the bus loop
- Lucky Bus Loop – farmers carry to the four quadrants of the bus loop, perform 15 reps of a certain exercise, adding a new exercise for each quadrant, with a total of 8 at the end
  - Lawnmower pulls – each arm (8x)
  - High pulls (7x)
  - Sit ‘n presses (6x)
  - KB swings (5x)
  - Lunges (4x)
  - Halos (3x)
  - American hammers (2x)
  - Weighted squats
- Farmers carry the bus loop
- Boat/canoe
- COT with YHC taking us out
Great work by the PAX today. A lot of clipboarding/mumble chatter from White Deer, so it was an appropriate onboarding for Loose Goose. Great to have him join us. Do not be a stranger! Also great to have HoneyDo throwing around his 35 lbs KB today. Word of wisdom, do not leave your KB laying around in HoneyDo manor. The M will have none of that. You will never see it again.

God is good all the time!

Just 45 Minutes
Consistency and discipline builds strength. Three loyal members of the PAX linked arms for another Thursday morning of clanging KBs, and here is how it went down:
- COP
  - 25 SSH
  - 25 IW
  - 25 helicopters
  - 10 2x merkins
  - 25 2x LBC
  - 15 pickle pounders
  - 10 burpees
- Lucky Bus Loop – farmers carry to the four quadrants of the bus loop, perform 15 reps of a certain exercise, adding a new exercise for each quadrant, with a total of 8 at the end
  - Lawnmower pulls – each arm (8x)
  - High pulls (7x)
  - Sit ‘n presses (6x)
  - KB swings (5x)
  - Lunges (4x)
  - Halos (3x)
  - American hammers (2x)
  - Weighted squats
- Farmers carry the bus loop
- COT with YHC taking us out
Great work by the PAX today. A lot of clipboarding/mumble chatter between J’ville and White Deer, but all in all, it was a long 45 minutes. There was no way YHC was going to get confused and stretch this 1 hour. Enough pain in 45 minutes of this beatdown.

God is good all the time!

Solid work from Chum Bucket and ByProduct on ground and pound workout. White Deer plowed through the bear crawls as if it were a more natural way for him to travel.

God speed to all those recovering from the CUSAP this weekend.

God is good all the time!

Threesome
Johnsonville accepted the hot potato Q and YHC serves as his scribe. We were joined by the bag of hot air known as White Deer, and here is what transpired:
- COP
  - 50 SSH
  - 15 IW
  - 15 DQ
  - 15 Hillbillies
  - 10 2x merkins
- Mosey to bus loop for a series of Triple Plays, aka triple checks
  - #1 – KB presses, weighted lunges, wall sit
  - #2 – skull crushers, rotating wall planks, curb crawl with 5 merkins
  - #3 – lawnmower pulls (left and right), KB swings
  - #4 – sit-n-presses, American hammers, run
- Mosey to the parking lot for 15 box cutters and 15 APDs
- COT with YHC taking us out
A faithful PAX enjoyed the fellowship. Lots of soreness beforehand. KBs will only exacerbate that issue. Good luck to those doing the CSUAP. You are a special breed.

God is good all the time!

Spring Broken
It is April, but it was cold. Numbers were light due to spring break, sickness/injuries and a fearsome Southside fartsack. A pair of noble warriors still answered the call, and here is what transpired:
- COP
  - 25 SSH
  - 25 IW
  - 15 DQ
  - 25 FM
  - 10 2x merkins
  - 25 LBC
  - 20 Helicopters
- Mosey to bus loop for a modified game of catch me if you can
  - 3 stopping points along the bus loop where you do 10 burpees
  - Double-weighted carry between burpees
  - 2 total loops/60 burpees
- KB beast down/back bus loop (weighted carries between stops)
  - Sit ‘n presses
  - High pulls
  - Overhead shoulder presses
  - Swings
  - Halos
  - Lawnmower pulls (each arm)
- Mosey to the parking lot for COT with YHC taking us out
This was a workout that the PAX just had to gut through. Everyone was tired, and we were under weight for the entire workout. The mid-week malaise as well as the burpees led to a quiet workout. Solid work though. Motion to Mother Nature to put an end to this cold weather crap…do I have a second?

God is good all the time!

Sampler Platter
Three strong redwoods were not injured, out of town for Easter or cuddled up in a clown car to/from Hampton. They were rewarded with a tour de Gridiron, and here is how it went down.

    Bunny hop

Today was a sampler of this expansive AO and all it has to offer. Low reps, lots of cardio. Here is the thing, there was so much more we could have done. We did not touch the tennis courts, trails or football fields. All in all, today’s low rep/high variety tapas workout were enjoyable as the PAX gave a strong effort. Great to have Pigskin in from Charlotte.

Hope the Hampton launch went well with an assist from the Gridiron clown car.

Happy Easter men! God is good all the time, especially when we are able to reflect on his sacrifice for us!

Frozen Backsides
Winter must end soon. One what is hopefully the last day of really cold temps 7 noble warriors fought through the chilly conditions. Here is how it went down.
- COP
  - 25 SSH
  - 25 IW
  - 15 DQ
  - 12 2x merkins
  - 20 FM
  - 15 2x pickle pounders
  - 25 Helicopters
- 10 minutes of burpees
- 40 APD
- Mosey to the jerkin gym for an 11 with jerkins/WWII sit-ups
- Mosey to the parking lot for a triple check – wall sit, LBC, run
- Lunge walk to the invisible shovel flag
- COT with YHC taking us out
Great work by the PAX today. It was good to see some familiar faces resurface. YHC was reminded that this was not a FNG friendly Q, but if I am correct, no FNGs were present today. Just an opportunity to recycle some Gridiron favorites today for some old friends.

The WWII sit-ups definitely left the PAX with frozen backsides. Spring cannot come soon enough. I think we can all agree on that.

It was a privilege to lead these men.

God is good all the time!
