You have to show up to 45MOM before the bell rings to hear solid gold nuggets like that from Saab, to experience an AO secured by Swirly or to be truly welcomed by THE Yankee Agressor. 14 bright-eyed and bushey-tailed souls experienced this pleasure first-hand this morning. The rest of you jokers have to read about it. Bell rang, time to work… Mosey to the blacktop for geriatric-approved COP starting with slow DQs and Helicopters and moving on from there for a proper body lube and warmup. THE THANG 11s – PAX lined up on the school end of the…

…posted to Mary expecting a geriatric friendly Q.  What they received was a reasonable beatdown that YHC will probably regret later… COP:  B-Lickers were included Doras (FULL):  Each person does the full suite of Doras – with a partner but on their own with the count.  Merkins, LBC’s, Dollys Triple Check:  B-to-Wall, bear crawl to WWII’s, run out and bernie-back. 7 minutes of Mary (Abs of course) Suicides, bear crawls, crabwalks, Bernie-Bears (aka crawl bears) Ring of Fire Not much mumble chatter which YHC will chalk off to a fair amount of intensity in the workout. Saab abides – when…

A gentlemenly six pack arrived at Mary to witness a tale of two Gerrys. There was an abundance of banter coupled with a variety of physical challenges suitable for all age ranges and abilities. Moleskin: Apparently Big Data is still a thing, and one can watch their statistics steadily increase in real-time from the comfort of their couch, no workout necessary. You can thank Splinter and his side-hobby for this one. Saab (and TYA) abide…when able

Fifteen gentlemen and scholars arrived at Mary today with no enticement needed other than seeing Splinter on the Q. After the northern peacock strutted his stuff to our visitor and then shielded himself with the wall named Swirly, off we went to the blacktop for today’s 45MoM fun. COP COP stands for Circle of Pain. It doesn’t stand for Circle of <insert other ‘p’ word here>. Therefore we did hard things. 10x Hellicopters 1x Burpee 20x SSH 2x Burpees 10x Merkins 3x Burpees 10x Copperhead Squats 4x Burpees 10x Penguins, appropriately stored up from yesterday’s Oyster snubbing.
