  • Walking Bells

    Beautiful morning for a Manndate. Warmed up in front of the school. Moseyed around the school building and field, stopping every few feet for a different KB exercise. Stopped at the track for a triple check. Completed the lap around the grounds. When we got back to the front we did a circle of fire followed up by boat canoe. Numberama, Namarama, Corned beef took up out with a prayer. Reminder – Saturday we have a kid friendly bootcamp with coffee, kid drinks and donuts afterwards. SYITG.

  • Who’s coming in hot today

    2 Davillians met YHC in the parking lot to begin a Manndate beatdown. The locals let me know that there is a tendency for some regulars to come in hot and just as we began the warmup Bulkhead rolled in. Apparently Corned Beef gave a tentative HC but didn’t join the fun.

    After a brief warm up where a lack of big arm circles threw off the rhythm of the PAX we got back on track in the bus loop. Lightpole Beast – 6 exercises at each lightpole – drop the bell at the 3rd, run to the 4th and return to complete the beast – Halos, Swings, Rows, Squats, High Pulls, Around the World. Couple rounds of a quad-check with flutters, cleans, lunges and a runner. Close out with some curls, triceps, and Mr. Holland’s 8-count total body movement.

    Great to get out to the North side of town and catch up with a few of the Daville stalwarts. This was not the epic beatdown Mr. Holland anticipated stepping out of the car. Between the late nights, long drives, and an aging body, YHC appreciates the occasional basic beatdown accompanied with better chatter. Those that were there got a hint of what may be in store for DaPile, bring the numbers out Saturday and you’ll get some solid work in.

    Thanks for letting me lead. The SOJ takeover rolls on.
