  • Attention Passengers: The Forecast is 70 & Sunny


    As always! It was 70 & Sunny at Pine Fork Park and the wind seemed to subside as soon as 05:30 struck. The SF went from “erect” as some would describe it to (sticking to the theme) flaccid, but we didn’t let that keep us from tossing around the ole iron!

    CoT – Numbers & Namarama!

    Announcements & Prayer Reqs – Beaver is planning an Off The Books Weds evening bootcamp this week. I’m open to time and location suggestions. Start time 7 or 8 PM and any park in the area.

    Yukon Cornelius took us out in prayer and brought in an FNG this morning which we have knighted Cloudkicker! Being that he is a pilot for United, Yukon came up with making reference to the Talespin character Kit Cloudkicker.

  • [Mammoth Balls] Knock On Wood

    The boys trickled in for a Monday morning Mammoth Balls workout, ready to sweat out the weekend fun. A light rain accompanied us, and some quick chatter before 0530 revealed that Beaver was hoping for thunder and lightning. The way he spoke about it was frightening. He claimed he wanted to get some good pictures, but I think Beaver is evolving into a warrior. Tarps were quickly peeled as we moseyed to the Octagon and the rain subdued.

    Wrap it Up

    (Partner up: One PAX grabs the outside of the towel and pushes down to hit triceps, while the other PAX grabs the middle of the towel and pulls up to hit biceps. Give resistance so your partner gets a good pump. Switch after failure.)

    Full Benefit 10 Burpee Late Penalty

    Free Style

    YC is still getting used to this Q thing, so we had a few minutes to spare. Most of the guys did exercises on their own while I took the opportunity to fully recover and distract them with chatter.

    Wildwood’s Return & 50 Posts

    We welcomed Wildwood back after his time in Jersey visiting family. While there, he hit up three workouts at The Ward, where the guys are preparing to hike Mount Kilimanjaro. Awesome to hear his stories, and we wish them luck! Also celebrating Wildwood’s and my 50th post. Looking forward to 50 more!

  • Daddy Hoochie Shorts

    Over the weekend the YHC sent out a text and said he wanted to try something that looked easy on paper. Well it wasn’t as easy as the YHC thought it would be once again. Here’s what went down….

    Awesome way to start the week and I’m glad the guys showed up. A lot of chatter this morning about hoochie daddy shorts and how the YHC never has anything that pops out. The YHC believes in about 2 weeks everyone at the lumberyard will be rocking 3” inseam shorts!
