YHC forgot to post this BB for Timberwolf last week so this is the shortened version for Big Data

Everything we did was ab related, Elevens, four corners, triple check

BTTF

NMS:

Don’t forget to write your BB next time Doozy

In the heart of a bitter winter, four intrepid friends, Heist, Oyster, Swoop, and Bullseye, embarked on a daring adventure. They were known in their close-knit community for their love of fitness and their unwavering commitment to their health.

The frost-covered wilderness became their playground as they set out each morning to push their limits. Heist, the strategist of the group, always had a plan. Oyster, the ever-optimistic, provided the motivation. Swoop, with his agility, led the way, and Bullseye, a precision seeker, measured their progress.

They braved the icy winds and frosty trails, facing challenging terrains that tested their mettle. Their breath formed clouds in the frigid air, but their spirits burned hot with determination.

One day, as they ventured deeper into the wilderness, they stumbled upon an abandoned cabin. It became their base camp, offering shelter and a sense of camaraderie, as they spent nights by the warm crackling fire, sharing stories of their daring expeditions.

Their workouts intensified with every passing day. Heist’s plans grew more ambitious, Oyster’s optimism shone brighter, Swoop’s agility soared to new heights, and Bullseye’s precision was unmatched. Together, they pushed their limits, stronger than they’d ever been.

As winter turned to spring, they realized that their journey wasn’t just about physical strength. It was about the unbreakable bonds of friendship, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unwavering pursuit of their dreams.

In the end, their story became a legend in their community, inspiring others to brave the cold and wilderness, not just for fitness but for the indomitable spirit that burned within them.

12 studs posted to Tomahawk Creek Middle for what was supposed to be a Boberry beatdown, but 3 Westhoe PAX had other ideas. According to the maintenance worker who pulled in mid workout, this is what transpired:

The THANG:

Fudd evolution:

COP – various exercises to warm the body up, the most popular of which seemed to be pigeon pose.

Mosey to the football field & partner up. P1 does an exercise on the 50 yrd line while P2 runs to the end zone to do burpees, rinse and repeat before next round. Rd 1: P1 holds plank, P2 5 burpees. Rd 2: P1 does squats, P2 7 burpees. Rd 3: P1 does monkey humpers, P2 9 burpees.

Pass the Q to Splinter:

Mosey to the tennis courts, line up on the far eastern side. Run across the width of 2 courts, do 15 merkins, run back, do 30 squats, run back, do 40 LBC’s. Rinse and repeat for 2 more rounds of various exercises that YHC can’t recall, repeating the 15, 30, 40 rep progressions. Rd 2 had us bernie sandering in stead of running, and round 3 was karaoke.

Pass the Q to EF Hutton:

Mosey to the concrete pad by the VSF for solo Dora. Rds 1 & 2, do 25 merkins and run to the garbage bins and back between each set. Rds. 3 & 4 do 50 monkey humpers between runs. Rds 5 & 6 do 75 SSH’s between runs. Rds 7 & 8 do 75 LBC’s between runs.

Numberama, Namerama, EF Hutton took us out.

NMS: The WestHoe boys felt compelled to even the monthly challenge score which now stands at 4-4. Apologies to Boberry but all’s fair when the Ghost Flag is at stake. Mumblechatter was high today and the fellowship was in full display….a great vibe amongst some very solid dudes. What appeared to be a school maintenance worker in a van pulled in as we were doing the Monkey Humper evolution of the solo Dora. He was undoubtedly disturbed by what he was witnessing and turned his headlights off as quickly as possible after parking.

#TClaps to EF Hutton for this monthly challenge as it’s kicked up the competitive notch a bit but it also has brought the 2 nano-regions closer together, which I think is a great thing. Let’s keep praying for opportunities to spot the Sad Clowns in our daily lives and for the courage to ask them to join us in the gloom.

Prayers for Maine following their mass shooting yesterday as well as Israel and that whole region.

Announcements:

Lunch at Rusty Taco’s (Westchester Commons) tomorrow, 10/27 at 11:45. Oyster may or may not be buying.

SOJ Ruck for food event Nov 11. See Orange Crush for details.

I’m sure I speak for Splinter and Hutton when I say that it was an honor and a pleasure, as always, to lead good men in the gloom. Keep chasing the wabbit fellas!

Fudd

13 dudes ready to party hardy joined YHC for a little birthday celebration. October 19th, marks another pass around the sun for YHC and, per usual, a few fun birthday games were created for the PAX.

Mozey to the basketball court for a little Warm-a-rama –

YHC had a great idea to use Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday song for a little Sally Up/Sally Down action, but the JBL didn’t work, the sound off of YHC’s phone just wasn’t cutting it and squats/burpees combo was well…dumb. So, an audible was called about 30 seconds into that disaster. Note, YHC’s M told him that this was a stupid idea at the kitchen table last night. Death to anyone that tells her that she was right. Other exercises –

• Side Straddle Hops
• Jazzercise
• Dead man Hangs
• Merkins
• Helicopters
• Alphabet Abs, but instead of spelling the Alphabet, PAX spelled out Happy Birthday OC.

Mozey to the tennis courts for Birthday Suit ’47’s.

Starting with YHC in tennis court #1, an exercise was called and the first person to 47 1) gets to choose the next exercise and 2) must shed an article of clothing. All good exercises chosen and it was dark enough that the school’s cameras surely didn’t pick up on any nudity of the PAX. The kernel of this idea is credited to DTH; I wasn’t able to upload the PowerPoint presentation that he sent to me, but it did recommend a 12 count burpees/merkins/smurf jack thing.

After the Birthday Suit ’47’s, line up on the baseline for some shots, burpees and sprints. YHC supplied the red solo cups and poured a hearty shot of Tequila (cleverly disguised as Gatorade) for each member of the PAX. PAX downed the shot, did a burpee and sprinted back and forth across the tennis courts. Two rounds, two shots and then off to the football field for some 1976ers.

Starting at the goal line, complete 19 Squats, 19 Two Count Lunges and 19 Monkey Humpers moving 10 yards forward after completion. Stop at the 50. Candidly, a bit tougher on the legs than YHC would have liked. Starting on the 50, complete 7 Merkins and 6 Wide Grip Merkins proceeding 10 yards forward until the goal line is reached. Mozey back to the flag for…

19 Burpees OYO and a plank hold while singing Happy Birthday to OC to close ‘er out. Good times.

Announcements:

• Oyster’s paying lunch at Rusty Taco on October 27th.
• Ruck for Food on November 11th

Prayer Requests:

• Warby and Hermie – send ’em a text to let them know you’re thinking of them.

YHC took us out.

Man, YHC is sooo grateful to have been able to start the first day of 47 day with 13 great dudes. YHC loves to laugh and mix in a bit of exercise – mission accomplished this morning. Thank you.

Prayers :

-OC’s son Bennett having ACL surgery

-Continued prayers for Wildcat and Liv

-Israel and Palestine

NMMS : Last night was heavy for me thinking about what’s going on in Israel and Palestine. I come from a Jewish family and I can’t imagine what it would be like to watch my wife and kids get kidnapped and murdered. It’s important to keep in mind the citizens of Israel and Palestine are not to blame. The terrorist organizations of Hamas and now Hezbola are carrying out these atrocities. I pray justice is served and the needed resources are provided to eradicate these terrorist groups. Thank you to the PAX who came out today. The humor and comradery is a brief reprieve from the dark world we live in. You all brighten my day. Love y’all

It was a great to lead!
