Tag: Loco Motion

4 lumberjacks made it to The Yard to add some sweat to the asphalt. We were pleased to see Murr made it out (as soon as I saw him I knew where the name came from, good job whoever came up with that) and he brought an FNG! The FNG works for a chemical company doing “wrench turning” as he calls it. Choo Choo was trying to think of uranium as a name, but he kept saying Uranus and that just wasn’t going to fly with the FNG. We compromised on Dexter from Dexter’s Lab. Welcome Dexter!

At 5:29, YHC was convinced it was going to be a solo session. But right on time at 5:31 in rolls the motivation I needed…..Wildwood! Here’s how it all went down…

Warmarama

• All the leg exercises and lower back stretches known to man
• Arm circles in every direction
• Imaginary jump ropes

We cranked out 2 miles, stopping at each post about every 50 yards for 4 Booyah Merkins. Along the route, we worked in 2–5 rounds of pull-ups (5 reps each) while the partner knocked out crunches. Very simple workout but brutal! Wildwood is getting quicker and stronger for sure.

Don’t waste the day boys!

4 gnarly dudes emerged with surf boards waxed and ready to shred some waves this gloom!

10 Burpees! One bro arrived somewhat late but within the 05:30 minute. Beaver likes to roll on the dot and what better way to get the day started with some burpees?!

Mosey back to the cars for CoT

Thanks for coming out man! Great job this morning!

Like children’s hearts yern for the mines, YHCs heart yerns for Iron Pax Challenge! As we’re on the cusp of YHCs 1 year, I couldn’t help but reflect on the single time I almost walked away from it all, and that was 2024 IPC Week 0. So what better way to celebrate a 1 year than the most defining part of my F3 – F1 experience and share it with fellow PAX that have not yet experienced it.

3 IPChallengers emerged from the gloom for a morning they wouldn’t forget! Here’s what the runner witnessed!

Mosey 1/3 mi for Warmarama at the E Octagon

• Imperial Walkers IC
• Don Quixotes IC
• Deadman Phelps
• Helicopters
• Fudd/Wilsons Wife
• Mosey to the bank and grab a coupon, walk it back to the E Octagon

Week 0 Half – EMOM Set

– 1st round 50 Squat Thrusters – Every minute that EMOM beeps drop and do 5 burpees to buy your way back in to counting those Thrusters.
-Once completed Run 400 meters

-2nd Round 50 Burpees – The internal battle makes itself known as doubt creeps in, shut that doubt off and keep pushing. That EMOM timer becomes relentless! You buy your way back in with 5 Thrusters only to come up for air and manage to get a couple of burpees checked off before the EMOM demands you stop again for 5 more Thrusters. You can shut off your mind and all the noise and push your body, but that one noise you can’t avoid is that heartless, abysmal EMOM timer that drags you into the dark and away from your goal.
We overcame the EMOM, Burpees and Thrusters victoriously and finished with a 1 Mi victory lap before returning the coupons to their rightful place and moseyed back to the cars.

Thanks for battling this one out with me men!

4 Gloom Monsters emerged from their fartsacks and joined at PFP for a good ol fashioned Beaver Beatdown that YHC wasn’t expecting. Once the 4th rolled in (Schmildschmood) 😉 YHC decided let’s not do a 10 burpee late penalty, we’ll do 30 burpees, and the workout just flowed from then on.
