14 Strong showed up this morning at the Alamo to better themselves. YHC had a plan in store for them… Warmarama- quick mosey over to the other side of the parking lot for some – SSH, Imperial Walkers, LBCS, Merkins, Werkins, heels to heaven, cherry pickers….after some light complaining about the warmarama we headed off The Thang- Ran down to modern row for a DORA- Merkins, Lunges and squats – run to the end of the street. off again running to the other side of the neighborhood to explore some new scenery. TRIPLE CHECK- american hammers, monkey humpers and lunge…

13 HIMs came out to shake off summer and immediately noticed a few cinder blocks lined up nicely to greet them. YHC thoughts invoked Full Metal Jacket…this block is mine, there are many like it, but this one is mine…turns out that when there are many like it, you don’t know which one is yours, so you just pick up whatever one you arrive at. Didn’t matter, we had work to do. Quick mosey to the end of the cul-de-sac and back with a warmup brew of SSH, Deadman hangs, cherry pickers aka crabgrass grabbers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, hand…

15 grown boys got their week started off at The Alamo! WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the other side of the horseshoe. Circled up, gave the F3 Mission and got into it…SSH’s, Dead Man Hang, Arm Circles, LBC’s, Rosco’s Mom, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife. The THANG – Moseyed across the street, down the hill, through the tunnel and popped out the other side. On the way to the first site, we jazzed up the jog by rotating 90 degrees at every tree along the way. This created a mix of running, side-shuffling and bernie-ing. COP 1: The PAX took…

Man. A week from the gloom is too long (was away on vacation). Small showing by the Rountree/NM crew today. I even brought an FNG. Shame shame. Warmorama. F3 intro statement etc etc. Mosey to front of pool entrance for a “quintuple check”. Damn right we did. Runner goes to towards entrance at Woolridge and back. Exercises were LBCs, squats, Drydocks, and SSH. Some excellent mumble chatter (first watch level) on the possible FNG names (rhymes with beef?) inspired the sounds of a wet lower back on pavement. This took awhile btw To the bunker! 11s starting with Merkins to…

Today’s workout was a real gasser, probably needed after all the junk food and beer consumed over the extended July 4th celebration. The workout details will follow, but first, a big thank you to all the High Impact Men (HIMs) among us. Many individuals come to mind, but you know who you are, so I won’t mention names. Seeing you grind both in and out of the gloom gives the Pax that extra boost to be better individuals, husbands, and fathers. I know I am a better man today than I was two years ago, thanks to the leaders we…

14 started their Independence week at the Alamo just to hear the confusion that goes on in my head as I took on an Alamo Q for the first time! I am not a runner but apparently like to Mosey… Warmarama: Side Straddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Imperial Walkers (that looked like Ukranian Soldiers), Imperial Walkers (that looked like a Dead Man Hang), Finish with 10 Peter Parkers OYO. COP #1: Partner Up (Not a Triple Check): As Many as you can get until your partner gets back from the uphill climb; LBCs, Flutter Kicks, Toe Taps. COP #2: New Partner…
