  • If you can Dodge a Wrench…

    13 Friday morning warriors beat the fartsack for a humid, yet fun filled morning at Twin Team.  As the clock struck 530 the PAX were of for a quick Mosey around the bus loop, but wait, Honeymoon and Sparky break off to do a OYO 45 minute run, leaving the PAX with only 11 strong.  They made it out to the AO and are working out, I give them props, but big data and corporate will be final say on if its a post!

    How it went down:

    COP-

    SSH – 20

    DQ – 15

    Imperial Walkers – 20 – Counting got suspect at this point

    Mosey to baseball Field

    Triple Check – Hand release Merkins, Dips, Run Length of the Field and Back

    Mosey to Football Field

    BURPEEBALL – Modified Dodge Ball

    Split into 2 teams and battle…..but there are rules!

    Rules –

    1. When a PAX picks up a ball, he must do 1 Burpee before he can throw it

    2. If you are hit, you must do 5 Burpees, and then do monkey humpers until the game is over

    3. If you a throw a ball and it is caught by opposing team, you do 10 Burpees and a lap around the track, then monkey humpers until end of the game.

    4. Losing team does 10 burpees, winning team did LBCs to keep moving

    Mosey to playground

    5 – Incline Merkins and a Lap around the field – x2

    Mary – 25WWII OYO, Merkin Ring of Fire

    Mosey to Flag

    1 Minute left so that meant 1 minute straight of SSH to completion.

    COT – Numberama/Namearama – Hardywood took us out!

    First of all I want to thank the PAX for indulging me in my dodgeball adventure.  On Wed at SOT we named a FNG “Ocho”.  YHC immediately thought of the movie Dodgeball where they broadcasted the tournament on “ESPN 8 The OCHO”.  (Clip included)  Secondly, thanks to Wilson for helping prep and setup prior to posting.  So as the triple check came to a close and the PAX mosey toward the football field, it quickly became apparent that we were all transitioning in our mind back to 7th grade gym class to try and throw dodgeball as hard as we could.  We quickly learned it was not as easy as we remember.  Rules were explained as best as possible and the fun began.  Ill let the PAX give their account, but personally YHC was gassed between the burpees and trying to Randy Johnson a ball across the field.  TCI claps to Cottonmouth, he was the only one left on our side at one point, and had all six dodgeballs, if your reading correctly, thats 6 burpees before he could throw them.  It did not end well that game. we played a total of 4 games and split 2-2.  Also TCI Claps to Tatu, who took one off the dome piece, and Honey-Do who took one in the Honey-Do region.  Great work by all today, thank you for letting me lead this great group of men! Also great to have the non-SOJ PAX make the trip, much appreciated!  I hope you all have a great weekend!  See you in the gloom boys!

    13 Soldiers defeated the fartsack on an amazing cool morning at No Toll to see if YHC could make it through his first Q.

    How it went down:

    Mosey to the back parking lot

    SSH x 15

    Don Quixote x 10

    LBCs x 25 OYO

    Merkins x 10

    Mosey to back field

    Twenty Ones – One Side of field Merkins other Side Crunchy Frogs

    Plank up

    Mosey to Front Field

    Partner Up – First partner runs length of field and back while Second partner lunges, continue switching until length of field is complete

    Al Gore until all PAX finish

    One round of four corners:

    First Corner – 5 Burpees

    Second Corner – 10 Carolina Dry Docks

    Third Corner – 20 Mountain Climbers

    Fourth Corner – 30 Monkey Humpers

    Mosey back to flag for some Mary – passed the Q to Wilson for Mary he learned in Charlotte

    Homer to Marge – on your six – hold legs up 6in moving them to heels to heaven, on Qs count slowly lower back to 6in

    Cross leg LBC – cross leg, take opposite elbow to leg that is crossed x 10 – switch and repeat

    Wilson threw Q back to Marmaduke for a quick Ring of Fire

    COT – Numberama, Namerama, Announcements and DK took us out!

    As the PAX began to assemble YHC was eagerly waiting 5:30 so he could get his first Q on the road. With 3 mins to spare McRib rolls in as Honeymoon points out that YHC must be ready to bring the pain if McRib is early. YHC was more concerned about messing up the counting on the COP before any pain could occur. With the not so good counting complete Flashdance graced us with his presence to start the 21 exercise with the perfectly timed question of “What is a Crunchy Frog?” Once example was given the mumble chatter began to die down rather quickly. Well except for Flashdance who was looking for a pass on being late with Wilson due to hot coffee being spilled en route to AO, no pass given.   Of course Rosie and Honeymoon did Rosie and Honeymoon things and as they finished ahead of the PAX, moseyed over to the other field to EH Lochte (FNG) who joined us for rest of the morning. The pack keeps growing! McRib helped plank everyone up while YHC finished his 21, much appreciated!

    Much more mumble chatter as we slowed into the lunges, DK commenting on Honeymoon’s BB, or lack there of. Does Wilson have a partner in this exercise, does he not and so forth. Enjoyed hearing the comments during 21 and Mr. Roper keeping me in line with what number we were on. I’m sure I missed some; please add anything I may have missed!

    Shout out to all the PAX who came out and put in work this morning, everyone killed it!

    It was an honor and privilege to lead my first Q with this awesome group of guys who were very supportive, much appreciation to each one of you.

    Ill leave you gents with something my father told me everyday growing up:

    “Noah didn’t wait for his ship to come in, he went out and built one!”

    Have a Great Day!
