8 HIMs woke up to no more lightning, so we grabbed large iron orbs and went outside to toss them around. According to the bullfrogs (or cheeks clapping, hard to tell) here’s what took place… Under promise and over deliver, no running today, let’s just circle up, stretch it out, and get to work. Kettlebell Poker- Each round, YHC calls out an exercise and we do 10x- Then one-by-one, each PAX draws a card and we perform that many reps: 2-10, J 11, Q 12, K 13, A 14- Spades – Single Arm Clean + Press- Clubs – Skullcrushers- Diamonds…
3 HIM’s emerged at the Lumberyard motivated and inspired – a quick stretch then we got right into it – 4 Mile run. It was all business this morning – focus on the run, listen to your body, stay strong mentally and that’s exactly what the PAX did. No better way to start the day Beaver and Choo Choo – great work men! We had some great conversations about life, diets, mental health and how we are grateful to be able to do what we do. Be where your feet are
10 glory days seekers disregarded the forecast, crossed their fingers and showed up praying the field conditions would permit a HR Derby….and they did. We had to improvise a bit, but we were able to get it done and the lower numbers allowed for 2 full rounds and 2 lightning rounds for 8 swings each. And, finally, after about 8 years (or however many we have been doing this), YHC finally overcame his performance anxiety (must have been the smaller crowd) and connected for 6 HRs in 8 swings. Glory Days! Several others connected for HRs, including Rosie, NTB, OC,…
YHC doesn’t do a good enough job of checking Slack and missed the post about The Deep being on the Summer Tour list for this week, so was indeed surprised to only see Senior Frog’s truck in the lot upon arrival. 5:30 arrived and we were off….. To the parking lot with the blocks because that’s the newest fad at Hoedown. YHC ran us through a quick disclaimer and COP, halfway through which we were joined by Saltlick. The three of us grabbed some blocks, did some manmakers, and proceeded to hot potato the Q after every exercise to keep…
Tanks came off quickly out at Mammoth Balls this gloom! YHC recommended the PAX wear them as face coverings to avoid the stench coming from yours truly, it was so bad the 4 HIMs had to evacuate the area! Wildwood is back! We get a visit from our favorite guy Pool Boy! Shwarmarama! Mosey the lot/trail around the football field to get the heart pumping! Deadman Hang Michael Phelps Helicopters Arm Circles Hip Circles Take up your Irons and meander to the small parking lot for Mary Bells! Circle up, each PAX takes a turn to call exercise and reps.…
It was a hot and humid morning but 16 HIMS were up for the challenge. I had this workout planned for several weeks and then Crabgrass decides last week to do it but I like the pain so why not do it again? Mosey across the way and circled up for some warm up exercises including SSH, Jazzercise (after being complimented by Nancy last week for good form), cherry pickers, LBCs, and merkins. Thing 1: partnered up for 100 reps of squats and merkins alternating exercises after 10 reps, then a run to the next intersection. This was repeated again…

A rare occasion where a workout and one I created kicked my own ass. I was struggling just walking around collecting the things from earlier yet 12 of us came out. The humidity hit fast I believe we could have jumped into an ice bath afterwards and felt great. Here we go(warning content you’re about to read may cause distress or other medical problems please see a doctor if so). Start with the COP(SSHs, Imperial Walkers, DMH, Don Quixote, Merkins, Alabama Prom Dates, a little stretching). We ventured down to the corner where the parking lot of hell commenced. 12…
