6 HIM’s made their way to Twin Team for the monthly Murph. DTH brought the tunes, jokes were made at Tobit’s expense, but strict form with natural weighted vests was on the menu at TT.
Each month that we do this, we all humbled by the originator of this event. What a beast.
We were all thankful for the gentle breeze, workout and time together.
Boberry took us out.
Another Murph Friday, another day of perfect form. Fresh meat showed up as State Farm ventured north to take on the challenge. DTH brought the music which was a new and welcome addition to the Murph, somehow it made things go faster. Glad to get out of there before the sun starts cooking today.
Stay cool brothers.

Good morning to workout with a buddy and start the day strong. SYITG.
Five macho men ready to work out, plus two white animals, gathered in the back of Godwin for some Kettlebells.
One white animal took the Q late as long as the other white animal did the write-up.
We started with side straddle hops and while six of us started with the classic White Deer one arm, one leg swing, White Deer did professional looking SSHs. We were astonished. 62 has been kind to him. After a little more warmup, and according to the white squirrel who lives in these parts, we did something like this:
Stayed in a circle and did Two handed Swings, American Swings, Goblet Squats, Goblet Lunges, Deadlifts, Push Press, Thrusters and some Curls. 10-15 each.
Then left the circle and did 10 deadlifts, 20 KB high pulls, 20 curls, 20 squats, 10 palm presses and 20 rows. Then we got on our knees or knee and did cycles of Wood Chops, Around the World, Halos and Obliques. I prefer being on both knees.
At some point Mr. Rogers had to go. Whether he needed to leave early because the jog home with a 35lb kettlebell was going to take him time or he needed to poop, we were not sure. It did result in everyone else declaring they had to leave over the rest of the morning workout.
Covered in grass, we ended with a triple check of KB Leg Losses, Presses and a run around the circle.
White Deer had a nice spring to his step and whether he is aging well or that was due to Attila and his gas not being there, we will never know.
Welcome to Mr. Rogers new kettlebell. Now nicknamed Officer Clemmons.
My write-up for hire duties have been met. Please like and share!

Seven badass Bostonians (included two FNGs) and two downrange Pax hit the Coliseum this morning for a quest Q from down south.
Mosey to the Willie O’Ree Community Rink for Warmorama:
Warmorama: SSH, Ukrainian Soldiers, Deadman hang (center/left/right), Merkins, LBCs, scorpion stretch.
During scorpion stretch I told the Pax the legend of the of the unnamed Pax member down in RVA that got upset by a “your mom” joke. Got some laughs.
COP #1: Eye of tHe storm: Couldn’t help myself as we were standing in a perfect spot for eye of the storm.
Picture an outdoor roller hockey rink with big Bruins logo. Start in center with 5 burpees, sprint to each corner perform called exercises and return to center for another set of 5 burpees. Plank when complete. Four corner exercises were:
Plank for the six.
COP #2 – Amphitheater fun: Pax started at bottom of amphitheater and performed 5x incline merkins then box jumped step to next level. 5 steps total. Went back down with 5x dips.
COP # 3 – Triple check: By this time Dunder had made it to the beatdown. Three groups of three for triple check. A man runs accross soccer field to the mound, B man did squats, and C man did curb walks along the concrete in front of amphitheater.
COP # 4 – Bear crawl across the BMX course. Lots of grumbles, but something different.
COP #5 – Mosey to the basketball court for “lady of the night” four corners. Exercises were 10 SSH/10 merkins/20 LBCs/30 single leg squats . Build up and build down.
Finished up with 2x rounds of donkey kicks and squats on the chain link fence. Jogged back to the flag for a partial pushup ring of fire.
Time. Numbers. Names
Welcome to Gaddafi and Goggles, Boston’s newest member’s of the Pax.
Gaddafi was a marine and did a tour in Libya (hence Gaddafi).
Goggles is a big David Goggins fan and pumped out the 4x4x48 challenge in the pouring rain. Hence “googles”
Final thoughts:
Very cool to post with these guys and see how things probably were 8 years ago in RVA. Makes me appreciate that much more what we have done here.
Last thing, Pebbles was down range from Providence, which is where the Carpenter planted the flag. Cool stuff.
Great AO! Last time I was here, we had ice coffee at the end of the workout and a lot of heat and humidity. No ice coffee today but plenty of heat and humidity. Discussion of the difference between Cherry pickers and Strawberry pickers. Someone else will have to provide the precise details but one involves clapping hands behind back and the other involves clapping hands just above the ground.
Traveling COP
Wall Exercises
Partner Jacob’s Chair: Mosey to the ‘outdoor’ amphitheater:
Bulgarian/Dip/Derkin: Mosey trying to get to the other side of the school. Couldn’t do it from the direction I was trying so we went back to the top of the amphitheater and used the benches there.
Back to the flag with a stop on the way for:
We’re done:
Water break

2nd F event in the West End
Takeout by YHC: Prayer St. Francis
Good morning….a nice group of 7 potential ballers(including a visit from Upchuck gracing us) came out to Timberwolf this morning for an early morning shoot around. A little mosey to the courts, a good WARMARAMMA(SSH, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Helicopters, Jazzercise, Don Quixotes, Cherry Pickers, Merkins and LBCs). After that a little extra stretching to help loosen things up, then time to train
We started off 2 rounds of suicides(1 the regular way, 1 starting long). After that we started going into knockouts(the 2nd round was a long one). Along the way changed things up with a few full court drills shooting lay-ups, spot up jumpers(penalties if you air balled it or did not hit the rim). After that back to just shooting free throws(boy we were starting to show our lack of training). The penalty was 20 Merkins. Then onto shooting 3s(not good there), 30 Merkins once we hit 10 made 3s. The end was coming so a final round of knockouts(Nancy had the bank working) took home the final one.
A little run back to the flag, Count-a-rama, Announcements(including the 4th Thursday lunch today at Rusty Taco). prayer led by YHC and we called it
Everyone….be careful over the next few days. The temperatures will climb plus the humidity so make sure the fluids are a plenty, if you need to slow down, take a little extra break during a workout(please do). Even if you need to take a drink, run with it while training that’s ok. We have been lucky this summer so a blast we were overdue for
Have a good one…see you tomorrow at Satan’s Hill
We did my route today. 5 times around the school with stops for a total of 200 merkins and 200 dips. Then 3 more times for 120 squats, 60 Ukrainian hammers and 60 knee ups on the bench. Lighthouse ran extra. He talked about grass and trees; how in 100 years, we’ll view killing animals for meat as barbaric (we’ll eat lab cultured meat); how the message in a synapse is carried by chemicals instead of electricity. I mostly listened. Even to the extent I had something to offer, I didn’t have the breath to do it.
The stud magnet known as SOT pulled nine SOJ HIM’s into orbit for another episode of “Try Hard or Die Hard”, this one a farewell celebration for Royale who’s leaving for France today. Here’s how we about died:
The THANG:
COP #1:
COP #2:
COP #3:
COP #4:
Mosey BTTF and stretch everything out
COT:
NMS: There’s no warmup like a BLIMPS circuit warmup, and the PAX (including YHC) was smoked before we’d reached the halfway point in this 45 minutes of Trying reeaaallly Hard. Mumble chatter was strong, and the PAX enjoyed the first romance-torn fight of our hottest new bromance – OC & NTB. Great way to send off the French student. Strong work everyone! ~DTH
