After 2 rounds of the 2 count Merkins the YHC called an audible and changed it to single count for time. Beaver kept it going and still finished with all of us. Pretty sure Yukon stuck with pull through Merkins the entire time. Wildwood was out there chasing dreams and dice rolls, putting in work before heading to the casino in Portsmouth. What a way to start the week with these men. The YHC looks forward to these workouts every week. I believe all of us are grateful for the laughs and push.

Yukon Cornelius took us out.

Don’t waste the day!

2 Gloompadres emerged for some strength training balls and bags in hand! YHC had anticipated a party of 3, so it went from triple check exercises to Dora with rounds instead of counting, I’m sure there’s a routine for that, it isn’t coming to me though.

It was a pleasure to throw around some weight with you this morning Wildwood! We missed the rest of you fellas that couldn’t make it.
I can’t wait to see you guys in the next gloom!

Choo Choo is back from vacation and ready to get after it, requesting some beatdowns upon his return, so this woodchucking son of a gun brought some extra weight to be thrown around.

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!

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.

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

Towel Pulls to Failure
(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!

2 bearded buddies emerged from the darkest of glooms, 1 primed and ready to toss the iron, the other ready to retreat to the fartsack from whence he came to continue his much needed recovery(YHC of course).

Warmarama!

Stretches OYO with lots of mumble chatter!

The Thang!

11’s – Bent Over 2 Arm Rows / Suitcase Carry / 2 ct Lateral Lunge, parts that didn’t hurt.

Finish with OYO – Skull Crushers and American Hammers for YHC. Yukon was doing all kinds of exercises I couldn’t keep up with.

CoT!

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!
