The following is Based on a true story …. This morning, 16 battle-ready HIMs rolled into the Woodshed to witness Teddy KGB’s glorious VQ debut — and boy, the chips were cashed in. We kicked things off with a mosey around the lot, gracefully leaping puddles like majestic gazelles in New Balances. Warm-up was textbook: Side Straddle Hops, Merkins, and LBCs to get the blood flowing and the chatterboxes humbled. Then came the real fun. Coupons were expertly stashed just out of sight like hidden Easter eggs for grown men. We partnered up and went to work: farmer carries…

The usual Ruck warriors welcomed Dry Rub to speed ruck the mean streets of Bon Air, clocking 3.5 miles with the encouraged topic of Doomsday Prepping livening up the usual discussion. Coffee and deep philosophical thoughts occurred after at Einstein. Always a pleasure gents! Yours AYE! ~DTH
8 HIMs woke up to no more lightning, so we grabbed large iron orbs and went outside to toss them around. According to the bullfrogs (or cheeks clapping, hard to tell) here’s what took place… Under promise and over deliver, no running today, let’s just circle up, stretch it out, and get to work. Kettlebell Poker- Each round, YHC calls out an exercise and we do 10x- Then one-by-one, each PAX draws a card and we perform that many reps: 2-10, J 11, Q 12, K 13, A 14- Spades – Single Arm Clean + Press- Clubs – Skullcrushers- Diamonds…
It was a hot and humid morning but 16 HIMS were up for the challenge. I had this workout planned for several weeks and then Crabgrass decides last week to do it but I like the pain so why not do it again? Mosey across the way and circled up for some warm up exercises including SSH, Jazzercise (after being complimented by Nancy last week for good form), cherry pickers, LBCs, and merkins. Thing 1: partnered up for 100 reps of squats and merkins alternating exercises after 10 reps, then a run to the next intersection. This was repeated again…
A rare occasion where a workout and one I created kicked my own ass. I was struggling just walking around collecting the things from earlier yet 12 of us came out. The humidity hit fast I believe we could have jumped into an ice bath afterwards and felt great. Here we go(warning content you’re about to read may cause distress or other medical problems please see a doctor if so). Start with the COP(SSHs, Imperial Walkers, DMH, Don Quixote, Merkins, Alabama Prom Dates, a little stretching). We ventured down to the corner where the parking lot of hell commenced. 12…
10 gloom brothers of the F.O.R.G.E. embraced the suck this morning, pushing beyond the boarders of the AO and the standard comfort of carrying just their own body weight. Here’s how the PAX embraced some fresh coupons: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Run to bottom of hill, Bernie back to top Someone remarks “UH OH, DTH IS MAD…” Circle up at the Flag Welcome & Disclaimer A smattering of many usual DTH warm-up exercises, but fast paced with only x5 reps IC each COP # 1: ELEVENS at the topmost grass slope of Mt Chaplain Incline Merkins at the bottom 10–>1 WWII’s…
Seven soggy HIMs braved the Larus Park Swamp for a brisk 4 mile ruck. The local ducks thought we were part of their gaggle and decided to join us for coffee rama. We stretched our minds discussing world history as we powered our way through chapter 2 of The Uses of the Past.
YHC arrived early to set up the field and appreciated the assistance of House Party who was already on site getting some miles in. Moseyed back to the parking lot to collect 11 eager frisbee lovers and returned to the field for warm-up and a slightly late arrival of ringer Snuff. Here’s how we ran into Destiny: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey to the perfectly manicured Field #1 and circle up next to the shovel flag Welcome & Disclaimer A brief collection of warm-up IC Reps DTH splits the teams evenly-ish, 6v7 THE TEAMS: Team 1 (Pinnies) – Dealer, Snuff, Oyster,…
YHC has a little nasty hill he likes, but I save it for special occasions (i.e. Nightmare Before Christmas) and today was a good day to revisit…not too hot, not too cold. Futon pointed out that the clouds were parted with a little bit of sunshine coming through above the hill, it was destiny today. Quick mosey through the bunker, up the stairs (watch out for mud) and we did a series of butt kickers > high knees > karaoke rotating at each mailbox. Quick stretch sess and we hit firecracker alley 1>2>3>4>5>4>3>2>1 at mailboxes. oh hey looks, there’s a…
7 HIM’s converged at Rockwood for a ride on the pain train, which in YHC’s estimation isn’t nearly as brutal as in past years, BUT plenty of reps nonetheless. Here’s how we crushed the comfort zone for the day: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the lot and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer A myriad of IC Reps to get all body areas sufficiently warmed up KILODORA: Partner Up, with one HIM doing reps while the other runs the lot and back to switch x100 No Cheat Merkins x200 Heels To Heaven x300 Squats x400 LBC’s CABER SPRING CLEANING: Mosey…
