Our War Daddy, White Deer, turned 59 yesterday!  Only one more year until double respect.  Normally, we would break out a red pill to celebrate a member of the PAX.  Today, in honor of White Deer, we respectfully ripped open a pack of his favorite, a blue pill, just for him.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • 25 SSH
  • 10 cherry pickers
  • 15 Russian soldiers
  • 15 Helicopters
  • 20 merkins
  • 60 LBC
  • 20 Suzanne Somers, each leg
• One man KB Dora (5 sets to reach total reps with a run down the bus loop in between in each set)
  • 100 sit ‘n presses
  • 150 overhead pulls
  • 200 lawnmower pulls
• Lunge walk to the virtual flag
• COT with YHC taking us out

White Deer loves himself a blue pill.  Not afraid to tell us that, amongst other things.  Grateful he made the trip today and worked out with the PAX.  Not the same without him.  Great work by the PAX.  God is good all of the time!

Alarm clock malfunction.  YHC rolls over to see a clock saying 5:20.  Jump out of the farksack, dress, and hoof it to the AO by 5:28.  Not awake, but ready to take another Q.  This one would have to be mindless.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • 25 SSH
  • 15 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 – weighted squats
  • Spades – sit ‘n presses
  • Joker – burpees
• COT with YHC taking us out

Great work by the PAX.  We worked up a little pace to get through the deck.  God is good all of the time!

Welcome to the dog days of summer.  A loyal PAX tackled a muggy and humid morning in order to dominate their KBs.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • 25 SSH
  • 15 IW
  • 10 DQ
  • 15 Helicopters
  • 20 merkins
  • 60 LBC
  • 20 APD
• Mosey to the school for the following:
  • 15 donkey kicks
  • Bear crawl 20 yards to you KB

  • Rinse and repeat 4x
• Series of 3x checks
  • Weighted lunge walk, KB swings, sit ‘n presses
  • Run, overhead pulls, high pulls
• COT with YHC taking us out

Great work by the PAX.  Grateful YHC did not have to do that solo.  God is good all of the time!

A fab five joined forces to throw around some KBs of varying weights this morning.  It was muggy, but spectacular.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • 25 invisible jump ropes
  • 10 dead man drops
  • 15 IW
  • 15 helicopters
  • 20 merkins
  • 80 LBC
  • 20 APD

• Lucky bus loop – farmers carry to the four quadrants of the bus loop, perform 15 reps of a certain exercise, adding a new exercise for each quadrant, with a total of 8 at the end
  • Lawnmower pulls – each arm (8x)
  • Curls (7x)
  • Sit ‘n presses (6x)
  • KB swings (5x)
  • High pulls (4x)
  • Lunges (3x)
  • Halos (2x)
  • American hammers (1x)
  • Run the bus loop
• COT with YHC taking us

Today was an ideal workout for White Deer.  Minimal cardio, maximum opportunity for mumble chatter.  Targets included YHC’s minor explosions between the legs and Byproduct’s wedding planning and less than manly KB weight.  All good.  Great to have a fuller PAX back in the fold.  Solid work by these men. A moment of thanksgiving for YHC.

T-claps to White Deer and Johnsonville for being socially responsible and wearing masks when they carpooled to the AO.

God is good all of the time!

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!

The only way YHC can differentiate days right now is by AO.  Today is Circus Maximus, so it must be Thursday.  It must be KB day on the west end.  Here is how it went down:

• COP
  • 45 SSH
  • 15 IW
  • 10 DQ
  • 20 helicopters
  • 20 merkins
  • 45 2x LBC
• KB 4 corners in the parking lot (socially responsible with each man starting in a different corner), whereby we do weighted lunges between corners, with 10,15, 20, and 25 reps at each corner
  • Sit ‘n presses
  • Curls
  • High pulls
• Triple check
  • Lawnmower pulls
  • Swings
  • Run the length of the bus loop
• 20 overhead pulls
• 25 weighted American hammers
• COT with YHC taking us out

Good work by the PAX today.  45 solid minutes under weight and then home for a nap.  Have a great Thursday men!

God is good all of the time!
