Three hungry studs showed up for a ByProduct Q, assuming it was going to be another themed workout with golfballs and wiffle ball bats. Not.

COT consisted of some quick warmups before getting down to business.

• Arm circles – big & small X 15

• Helicopters X15

• DQ’s X 15

The morning plan was pretty simple and straightforward as a cumulative KB beast in the parking lot.

Set1: Squats X6, repeat for total of 6 rounds (3 lunges between each round)

Set2: Squats X6, Curls X6, repeat for total of 6 rounds (3 lunges between each round)

Set3: Squats X6, Curls X6, Swings X6, repeat for total of 6 rounds (3 lunges between each round)

Set4: Squats X6, Curls X6, Swings X6, High Pulls X6, repeat for total of 6 rounds (3 lunges between each round)

Set5: Squats X6, Curls X6, Swings X6, High Pulls X6, Halos X6, repeat for total of 6 rounds (3 lunges between each round)

Set6: Squats X6, Curls X6, Swings X6, High Pulls X6, Halos X6, Sit & Press X6, repeat for total of 6 rounds (3 lunges between each round)

Not too much mumble chatter going on after the first two rounds, other than when the Q was going to move up into a higher KB weight class.

Numberama, Namarama and the Q took us out.

Good workout men!

A wet and rainy week led to a lazy Q where the deck of cards did all of the work.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • 25 SSH
  • 10 IW
  • 10 DQ
  • 15 helicopters
  • 20 merkins
  • 60 LBC
  • 20 APD
• Deck of death – 12 reps of an exercise where each suit is a different exercise
  • Hearts – curls
  • Diamonds – high pulls
  • Clubs – swings
  • Spades – sit ‘n presses
  • Joker – burpees
• COT with YHC taking us out

YHC then rushed into 1 last day of work before heading on vacation.  Big Data requirement now fulfilled.

God is good all of the time!

At 5:27 am the PAX came streaming in, saving YHC from a lonely existence.   It was a quiet PAX, but a strong and loyal group that tackled the KB beat-down head-on.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • 25 SSH
  • 10 IW
  • 10 DQ
  • 15 helicopters
  • 20 merkins
  • 10 2x Suzanne Somers, each leg
  • 60 LBC
  • 20 APD
• One man KB modified Dora – each PAX does all of the reps, with 5 runs mixed in each round
  • 100 sit ‘n presses
  • 150 swings
  • 200 lawnmower pulls
• COP with YHC taking us out

Welcome back White Deer!  The king of mumble chatter was muted, but present.  Humbled to be starting back at a 25 pound KB, he persevered.  It was good to have my older, broken brother back.  Let’s face it, if he can post with his injuries, the rest of the sad clowns out there have no excuse.

Still waiting to post with Johnsonville at Circus Maximus.  Right now, it is either or, not both. 

Great work by the PAX today.  God is good all of the time!

35-20-35….No it is not a combination to a masterlock.  It was the weights of the PAX.  Lighthouse has joined YHC at 35 lbs.  He could not find one on the Ukrainian black market, so he had to pay a premium in the states.  YHC will get Byproduct to step up, even if it requires using one of my old KBs.  Still, solid work from the PAX.  Good to be with these men today!

God is good all of the time!

Great work today from a loyal PAX.  Congrats to Byproduct on his recent engagement.  Great fellowship and good weight work, especially for those with heavier KBs.  On to the work day!

Another week, another KB Q.  Going to run the well dry of socially responsible KB workouts.  Here is how it went down this week:

• COP
  • 20 invisible jump rope
  • 10 Russian soldiers
  • 10 DQ
  • 15 helicopters
  • 20 HRM
  • 80 LBC
  • 50 APD
• KB beast with sit ‘n presses, hi-pulls, halos (6 each way), one-armed swings (both arms), curls and weighted squats
• 15 yard death crawl followed by a short run, 50 LBC, short run back to KB and 15 yard death crawl back to starting point

Good work by the PAX today.  Grateful for some fellowship early in the morning.  Also, do not let the beast fool you, 30 minutes under-weight takes a toll on the forearms.  BB is up within 24 hours after a long WFH day.

God is good all of the time!
