    YHC did not have plans to take a tour of the AO this morning but with this being a first time at The Forge for Bone Thugs YHC modified the plan and did a quick tour. We did not get to DTH’s favorite starting point and take the light pole ride back up but we can see that next time.

    Much to the dismay of Snuff channel 8 was setting up camp right next to the park entrance this morning. There was some mumble chatter between Last Call, Bone Thugs and Snuff about stabbing some tires but I think cooler heads prevailed. With basketball hoops re-installed and yellow tape removed from the pavilion the usual 4 suspects got to see Double-mint (who has been posting more regularly lately) and we where blessed with a Flat Line sighting. YHC looked for chalk last night to write the exercises in the parking lot but found the kids chalk bin to be lacking. Adapt and overcome (I was not a Marine but I probably should have been) papers with the exercises where set out on the field, tacked down with 4″ deck screws and away we went.

  • Last Call Party of 2

    2 what has become regulars came out for a Twin Team showdown. YHC had a plan to take Snuff to the name sake this morning because he has never been there. Unfortunately Snuff fart sacked or went with a different AO so at 5:30 Last Call and YHC headed out and away from Twin Team.

    Numbers / Names YHC took us out

    NMS: As we were in our COT YHC talked about not having gone to Twin Team because Snuff was not present then Last Call reveals that he unknowingly has never been to Twin Team either. Through some discussion Last Call was under the impression that we called it Twin Team because of the ant hill between the ES and HS. No, No, No my friend we will show you Twin Team in all its glory.

    NOTE TO SELF: As you have been told by yourself so many times never change your plan – morning of!!!!!! Name it and Claim it Baby.

  • 4 X 4 X 4(cubed) = ? (where is Tobit)

    4 Healthy Warrior made their way to The Forge this windy morning to try to get in a beatdown before the rain sets in. YHC arrived a touch early as he usually does and not long after Wedding Singer parks his sled in the lot, wanders over to YHC’s car to ask if a mile run was in the plan. YHC has no plan so Singer elected to get some EC on the last day of the challenge and off he went into the gloom. With two other PAX showing up we mosey to the COP in the 3rd lot from the right.

    NMS:

    PAX seemed to really like the merkins four corners, mumble chatter intensified after the 30 hand release merkins something about killing Doozy burying the body or along those lines. YHC believes it was repeated after the Man Killers and on the way up the light poles. YHC has the Q at Twin Team tomorrow and Snuff was inquiring about what that workout was so far be it from YHC to not show Snuff the namesake that is Twin Team tomorrow.

  • Celebrity Sighting at No Toll

    5 Gloom warriors ventured out of the wood work to find no Q on the sheet but YHC had made a text commitment to Bullseye the night before that if nobody else took the Q YHC would take it. 5:30 Doozy has the Q, lets mosey.

    NMS: So just as our COT was ending who should we see but the F3 Celebrity Rosie getting in some miles and swinging by to say hello. Though the Governor has not lifted the COVID restrictions yet I am encouraged to start seeing more PAX getting out to the AO’s.

  • Somebody is missing???

    6 of the usual suspects made their way out of the dark into the light of Hoedown for a Honeydo Q. 5:30 no Honeydo so Handshake took the reigns and lead the PAX on a short mosey across the street to Bodos’s work place.

    COP: Handshake

    SSH, DQ’s, Cherry Pickers, Inverted Scorpion Kicks, WWII’s and possibly a couple others

    Get to the corner for some four corner action

    Corner 1 – 10 Burpees, bear crawl, corner 2 – 20 Merkins, Bernie Sanders, Corner 3 – Monkey Humpers, run, Corner 4 – LBC’s

    Handshake hands the Q to Garbage Plate

    Run the length of the Parking lot and back while GP thinks of what to do

    Line up on the first Parking Lot spot Jump back and forth over the line 25 times on each side, modified parking lot merkins bear crawl two spots for 3 merkins, crab walk two spots for 3 merkins all the way down. Back on the end line, X cross overs (way to much coordination for YHC) repeat parking lot merkins.

    Triple up at the curb, Partner 1 – run the length of the parking lot, partner 2 – balls to the wall, partner 3 – LBC’s

    Same triplets for five minutes of pain – 3 doing 2 donkey kicks while other 3 do shoulder taps, switch, and the increase each time by 2. YHC believes we made it to 22

    Garbage Plate asked who wanted to take the Q and with no volunteers YHC was Voluntold and away we went. Mosey back to the flag parking lot for 11’s run across short side of parking lot Bernie up the hill 10 American Hammers, run back across 1 scrunchy frog. As usual YHC got thrown off at the 6,5 5,6 mark and Handshake figured out YHC was increasing on both sides.

    Numbers/Names – BODOS said he was feeling lead to let YHC know YHC was feeling lead to take us out. It is always a privilege for YHC to speak to the Creator on behalf of the PAX.

    NMS:

    YHC was going to poke fun at the fact that Honeydo fartsacked on us this morning but YHC had to first make sure that Honeydo was in fact fartsacking. After a text back from Honeydo telling YHC all is well, I can thankfully report that not only did Honeydo Fart Sack on us he also Brain Farted thinking that he signed up to Q next week. Thanks and Golf claps to Handshake for taking control of the situation and leading the PAX.

    NMS:

    Its getting to be the usual suspects that show up at certain AO’s and we had what I would call a large group at No Toll today of 5. The PAX really seemed to like the parking lot merkins this morning at least thats what YHC was hearing. THC has been modifying the man killers to include burpees in between each set and today showed some real promise but YHC limited it to 5 because he wasn’t sure how bad it would get with increasing the burpee count after each set. YHC sees no reason the PAX can’t get to 10 in one adventure “note to self”.

  • What’s in a name?

    So two gathered for a slightly chilly but not snowing beat down and this is what happened

    5:28 and YHC was thinking this was going to be a solo workout but with seconds to spare Snuff came riding up to the rescue.

    Mosey to DTH’s favorite stating point for a COP at the bottom of the hill

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Imperial walkers, Copperhead Squats, Snake Bite and Man killers

    Mosey 15 feet to the first light pole Run the light poles increasing burpees at each pole for ten poles

    mosey to front of school for a double check

    Mosey to the back of the school to the student sitting area for 11’s

    Box jump up 10 LBC’s at the top, box jump down 1 plank jacks at the bottom

    Mosey back to the front find 10 parking spaces for parking lot merkins

    Bear crawl and merkins up to ten Crab walk and American hammers down by two’s to twenty

    Back to the flag number / names YHC took us out

    NMS: At 5:28 this morning YHC was wondering how he would do this beat down if nobody else showed up. Snuff came to my rescue without a minute to spare. Mid workout YHC asked Snuff how he got the name (YHC assuming it had something to do with tobacco) and was caught off guard by the fact that he is a video editor. Once Snuff assured me that he is not part of the porn industry, YHC was able to regroup and move on.

  • 1 last year before respect

    NMS:

    Today starts YHC’s last year in the 40’s, looking from this side at 50 still seems like its a long way off because in my mind I’m not old enough to be pushing 50 but here we are. Thanks to Bullseye for starting the day out with me and playing along with it even though YHC lost count during the man killer burpees around set 7. We did find out that either the Ball & Chain goes faster with fewer people or that YHC might have made the run too short.

  • Lots of Mumble Chatter

    YHC signed the Q sheet for Timberwolf late last night and made his way to the AO at 0 dark 30 to find the loneliest number in the wolf pack. Oh well, virus or no virus the show must go on.

    Mosey to the front parking lot COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Copperhead Squats and while YHC is by himself tested a new exercise the PAX is going to love when things get back to normal and YHC will call them Snake Bites.

    Mosey to the bus lot

    Man Killers. Things started to go down hill from here because YHC 1 lost count a couple times and YHC 2 and YHC 3 complained about how YHC always does Man Killers and we should just leave the dude here to do his workout by himself.

    Mosey to Light Pole alley

    YHC 2 & 3 really started in here before we even got started because they somehow knew what they were in for. Light Pole Burpee Suicides increase by 1 burpee at each Light Pole. 1 through 10

    Mosey to the front parking lot again

    Of coarse by now YHC 2 & 3 are really letting YHC 1 have it and saying we should just pack it up and go home because light pole alley was plenty for one day. YHC 1 was not having it 10 parking lot bear crawl Merkins up and 10 parking lot crab walk LBC’s down.

    Mosey back to the flag YHC 1 gave in to YHC 2 & 3 because YHC 1 doesn’t like them anyway and YHC 1 did not want to hear anymore of their bitchin

    Self Motivation is hard and we don’t always realize how much we need the PAX to keep us going.
