The reps added up, especially for those men with higher weights. All in all, a great…

  • The PAX: Fireman Ed, Lighthouse, Seymore, Fortran, Attila, Joey Chestnut, Offshore, Bootleg, Pigskin, Mr. Rogers, Blackout, Banjo, White Deer, Manscape, Gold Digger, Bed Pan, Fudd

Fireman Ed arrived to the Circus and only saw about 10 PAX and was wondering if there was a boycott going on. More PAX arrived, a couple late including Fudd (no surprise there) leading to a lowish count of 17. We mosey past the coffee station for COP causing some confusion to our late arrivals. COP: DQs, helicopters, merkins, MCs, LBCs. White Deer sounded his back horn and said let’s go. Rifle carries while moseying to the front of the school. Take a break now lunges. Then halos right and halos left. Four corners: 10 burpees (I had this idea…

23 strong at Circus Maximus today. That’s just another Thursday for this AO, at least as of late. Great to see pax from 8 years old to whatever Whitedeer is. Today was a celebration of John Lennon, as he would have turned 85 today if he wasn’t needlessly gunned down many years ago in NYC.  But he was, so he was honored today with trivia, a listening session of his best songs and general Beatlemania with Kettlebells. However, the battery-powered speaker had other plans. We got through a few songs before the speaker finally ran out of juice and then…
