  • Copycat Q

    With no one signed up to Q, YHC took a look for a random backblast and decided to copy the workout for a quick Q rather than running a hot potato. With a bevy of choices, one stood out and YHC presented it to 5 HIMs that showed up at the Woodshed this morning.

    The thang went a little like this:

    • Quick mosey around the parking lot to get the blood flowing
    • Warmed up with Don Quixotes, Cherry Pickers, Ukranian Soldiers, and some stretching.
    • Mosey to the school parking lot, avoiding ice along the way!

    The COP featured 6 rounds of paired exercises with a :20 on, :10 off format. After 3 cycles for each round, the PAX took a jog around the bus loop and circled up for the next round.

    Round 1

    • LBCs
    • Freddie Mercuries

    Round 2

    • Curb side calf raises
    • Burpees

    Round 3

    • SSH
    • Forearm Plank holds

    Round 4

    • Bench Tricep Dips
    • Russian Twists

    Round 5

    • Crab walk
    • Bear crawl

    Mosey back to the flag to ensure timing…

    Round 6

    • X-factor sit ups
    • Imperial Walkers

    Closed with numbers, names and announcements

    Prayers for Wildcat and family, Futon’s FIL and a rough year of family deaths, Excel’s job search, and encouragement for other PAX rejoining the Woodshed. Praise for movement on job search for Heist’s wife.

  • Last Sunrise

    12 men, 1 playlist, no plan. LFG.

    Mosey around the loop. Warmarama with no breaks, making sure to double up on arm circles so everyone was calibrated on proper arm circle form.

    Clockwork mirkins on the hill follow by clockwork LBCs on the hill. 24 hours of burn.

    Mosey to the lower lot and then part way up Mt Chaplain, snaking up and around and down and around and up and around each tree and bush like a roller coaster off the rails.

    Half a quattro de checko with mountain climbers, squats and flutters while timer rifle carried a traffic cone around the lot.

    Mosey down the ramp where we entered the dangerous portion of the workout. Outside the railing, slow walk up the stone taking care not to fall off the straight drop off to the right.

    Triple check with tooth fairies up and around, dips and step ups on the big bench.

    At the bottom of the hill, we had one goal: get to the top of Mt Chaplain as fast as possible. Sprint to the top.

    Hilltop LBCs and a meditation on what could possibly be our last sunrise.

    COT and a moment to reflect on the one thing we would choose to do, if it were in fact the last day.

    Gratitude.

  • Full moon + Dora =

    Three brave souls dared to conquer their weak bodies at 530am in the light of the bright full moon. According to the stones on the ground where the portajohns used to lie, here’s what went down:

    COP

    helicopter

    arm circles

    imperial walkers

    Ukrainian soldiers

    dead man hang

    copperhead squats

    Merkins and Back’ens:

    merkin

    superman

    close arm merkin

    phelps out of water

    hand release merkin

    Starfish stretch

    Mosey to tower, where we encountered the Dora curse. Dora turned us in to bears, and we have to complete 350 ab exercises (she later increased it to 400 😲)

    dora curse

    400 ab exercises while partner bear crawls to top, touch tower, run down

    After breaking Dora’s curse, we moseyed to Logland for some lumberjack training.

    log carry x12 x2 rounds

    log lifts x12 x 2 rounds

    Plank as you wait for your turn

    Moseyed back to the field but was stopped briefly when we turned into bears again, having to bear crawl around the roundabout, before heading back to the field with some lunges and ending with 2 minutes of overhead clapping to celebrate our victory from the bear curse.

    COT: numerama, namerama

    Florence came out of his cop mobile to say hi to us. We’re glad to hear that he is doing good work to restore peace in our city. He says that he misses F3 but hopes to make it out one day and also encourage others to join too.

    YHC took us out. Glad to have Senka out again from NC!

  • Rich men south of Richmond

    18 citizens gathered to exercise their civic duty to the tunes of Snuff Underground: Election Day edition.

    Warmarama: 46 SSHs, happy birthday to YHC.

    Count off 1s and 2s. Each pair presented their platform: an exercise of their choice. Mirkins or arm circles? The PAX voted and the loser ran a lap while everyone did the winning exercise. This democracy went on for a couple rounds until the PAX was corrupted into voting for pandering candidates. It then switched to a constitutional monarchy while we listened to God Save the Queen by the Sex Pistols. Then a dictatorship when YHC didn’t like the choices. Then some voters were forced to do the exercise of the opposing party’s platform. Then some PAX members got their exercise flipped around and got a taste of their own medicine. Then all the election winners huddled and chose the exercise for the losers knowing full well that when they got back from their lap, they would be at the mercy of the losers. It was pure electoral chaos.

    Circled up for some ab Mary where the PAX members went around the circle doing 10 of an ab exercise, except the person on each side also did it with you. Then we ran the OG lap around all the fields before heading back towards the flag. Deep state dips on the bridge to an extreme metal cover of ‘Southern Man’ and then we all lined up on the basketball court for a series of suicide sprints. Rule #1 of Snuff Underground is that when you complain about the music you gotta pay, even if it is making your ears bleed. Hold plank to the entire song of ‘This Land is your Land’ by Woody Guthrie.

    COT. Get out there and vote.
