11 KB warriors took the F3 path less traveled at Circus Maximus today.

After a hiatus to take care of treating my cancer (which has gone well overall so far) I was back again leading the PAX with some kettlebell workouts. Admittedly I did drop 5 pounds in kb weight; otherwise I would have struggled more. The workout went like this: COP: SSHs (just kidding I don’t do those for COP), DQs, helicopters, DMH, HRMs, MCs and FMs. Mosey to back of school. Doras with a theme of 52 (upcoming birthday): 52 sit and press, 104 bench press and 208 LBCs. Mosey toward other side of school. 2 sets of 13 lawnmower pulls…

Tani Katane gazed upon us as she slithered around the hood of my car while 80s glam rock got us ready to sling some iron. Disclaimer.

3rd F (Faith): thank you Atilla for taking us out this morning. Prayers for pax brothers, family, and friends. 2nd F (Fellowship) YHC will be hosting a field day at my farm in Mineral (Ataraxia) on Saturday 22nd starting at 11am. Bring your chainsaws, shotguns, and beer steins. We will take out a few trees and run them threw the multcher. Once we wrap, I have 2 cases of skeet and 2 skeet launching machines. Let’s see who has the best shotgun skills. Oh did I mention the Cooling pond beer that will be on tap as well. 1st F:…

A dirty dozen of familiar faces and some welcomed strangers gathered for a mumble-chatter convention attached to a deceptive KB beatdown. Here is how it went down: COPSSHIWDQHelicoptersArm circlesDMHMerkins LBC KB 4 corners, prostitute-style with weighted lunges between corners105 KB curls75 high pulls45 KB swings 15 tricep presses 4x checkRunOverhead pullsSit ‘n press Lawnmower pulls COT with YHC taking us out Fudd was more than fashionably late today.  White Deer made sure he knew that.  The entire PAX knew White Deer was back, as his mumble-chatter/clipboarding was at its normal, high intensity.  As they say in Spinal Tap, “this one…

After the workout, coffee included a discussion on home electric generators. When the power fails in Goochland, Blue Moon lives ‘off-the-grid’ using a propane powered electric generator. Offshore (and likely the rest of us) just lives “off-the-grid” when the power fails. We have discovered that an advanced civilization has developed in Goochland. It was a thoroughly wet day, so we went to the far end of the covered walkway. Beginning with the standard disclaimer: “I’m not a professional, while you are here, try not to add any injuries to what is already afflicting you, etc.” Warm-up: All in cadence 20…

The COT continued the theme brought to us at Heartbreak by Salt Lick this past Tuesday; Resilience. But first, Fudd showed up fashionably late wearing his fashionable Head Covering. Fudd: You’ll have to tell Atila where he can buy one. I think we’re all jealous. Maybe Mr. Roger’s Buffalo Bill’s hat might be in the competition for best head covering. Offshore was also late. He remembered the coffee pot but didn’t remember his KB until he got halfway here. Details. As Q, I appreciated someone other than myself counting in German. Danke, Blue Moon!

9 dudes got after it at Circus Maximus this morning. Knowing the Pax, I brought the 80s rock ballad and left the running shoes behind. Here is how everything went down: Disclaimers. SoJ takeover.
