3 late arrivals posted at MANNDate for some kb action.
COP – various exercises
Triple Check – P1 squats, P2 demon crushers, P3 loop around parking lot.
11s – Lawnmowers each arm + clean and jerk. Around the world in between.
Names, numbers, Trail Mix took us out.
4 ruckers, 1 canine and 1 runner posted on a cold Tuesday morning.
Ruckers did the Atlee HS and Taylor Farm loop. Runner did his thing.
6 HIMs came out for our Tuesday ruck ready to hit the (safe from ice) pavement. According to the boots, they were made for walking, and this is what they did.
Met at Rudy’s house and cheered him on as he emerged from the gloom. YHC jumped right in discussion about the Star on Ice and his latest Fail Army submission.
The Notre Dame guy and the Ohio State guy had a very civil conversation about the upcoming game – Midwest kindness at its finest I suppose.
we flew through RounTrey like The Freeze at Braves games, with Fandango pointing out every ice hazard in the neighborhood.
Calories were burned, football was discussed, and the tip of the day is watch Shrinking on Apple TV and Tires on Netflix.
Part Deux of YHC week of Q’s in small areas with high reps. Here is how it went down:
More great work by the PAX. A solid 6 pack with high reps and a full body experience.
Prayers for Gomer before he leaves this weekend for his medical missions trip, and continued prayers for Fireman Ed as he has started treatments.
Lunch today at Joey’s Hot Dogs. Frozen Triangle on February 8th.
God is good all of the time!

3 HIM with coupons ready for an almost mosey free workout came together in the parking lot of the Bermuda Triangle for a Tabata workout with Thrusters instead of Burpees for MABA.
YHC asked Tiger King yesterday if he was a hard commit for this morning’s workout and he stated his concern for slipping on ice. Turned out YHC was planning on very limited running after rolling his ankle on Sunday, so it all worked out.
530 rolled in and we did our first 10 Thrusters, followed by a brief warmarama.
SSH, Imperial Walkers, Don Quyotes, Helicopters, Nancy Kerrigan’s.
The Thang
10 Thrusters every 5 minutes 10 sets, 100 Thrusters(credit to DTH for the EMOM idea for MABA)

YHC gently set down his Cindy at the end of a set of Thrusters and it literally crumbled into 6 pieces, at this point we had to do triple checks, since we only had 2 cindies for the 3 of us.
Triple Check 1
Curls, Skull Crushers, 20 merkins, only 1 round
Ab Ring of Fire 2
Penguins, APB, Oblique V Ups
Triple Check 2

YHC doesn’t have too much experience leading a workout without any running, but it wasn’t necessary to get the heart pumping! Great push by the PAX!
Frozen Triangle Super Bowl Saturday February 8th!
Broadway took us out.
2 Pull Up Warriors ventured out to the Frozen Tundra of The Jungle Gym at Ecoff Elementary for another chilly version of the Pull Up and Dip training session.
After a brief warmarama Tiger King and myself started off with a pull up pyramid, then some Hollow Rocks.
Then over to the Dip bars where Tiger King gave the idea of putting a little extra forward lean on those dips. About 5 sets of 7-10
Back over for some band assisted pull ups max reps.
Then Tiger King, decided to throw in some narrow grip Jerkins. 3 sets.
Finish off with a set of dips, pull ups, and narrow grip Jerkins.
YHC was leading from the back this morning, as Tiger King has clearly gotten out of reach on the pull up bars. Look for a Q from Tiger King soon!
2 HIM’s met this morning at The Lumberyard for a nice morning 3 mile ruck to get the day started. Conversations about work, life, family is always a delight but I am very glad I spoke up about needing a haircut! And I was not so surprised when Yukon Cornelius stated another one of his talents as he is a barber! Excited to get cleaned up later today but the man himself! Having thrown around coupons and doing all the various workouts we do with our hands, can’t wait to see what he can do with clippers and trimmers! Excited for this week ahead as I may be Q’ing my first workout this Saturday proposed by Beaver and Choo Choo – which is an honor to lead these men! More to come!

White Whale led a hell of a beatdown this gloom down in Midtown Raleigh at the Lourdes of Discipline AO. It was pretty quiet, didn’t get a chance to chatter much. When we weren’t doing burpees, squats or merkins, we were racing to the next point for more reps or running an indeginous form. 3.39 miles of running.
White Whale ended with this quote,
“The opposite of faith is certainty. Where there is certainty, there is no room for faith”.
