  • How many poles were smoked?

    Searching for the answer to this and many of life’s great questions, the PAX descended onto the grounds of Timberwolf. Thankfully (?) all that was found was a beat down and some mumble chatter. According to the people who park on the grass… this may or may not have occurred.

  • This was a bit challenging…

    9 HIM’s joined YHC for a little fun at the Wolf today. It’s been a minute since YHC had been here and decided to throw my name on the Q sheet to make sure that I showed up.

    Warmarama: SSH, Helicopters, Deadman Hangs, Little IT band stretch, Merkins, Reverse Merkins, Downward Dog, LBC’s, Flutter Kicks, Sitting Dead Man Hangs, Little bit ‘o back stretch and off we went to the track. YHC continues to sneak a little BROGA into his workouts and we’re all better for it!

    Great time this morning gents. This exercise format was something I learned, while downrange with the New Brunswick Pax near Ocean Isle beach, NC. This was a fun way to spend the entire q on one format of exercises. Not a lot of mumblechater today, but some appreciated counting where needed.

    Welcome to Columbo who was brought by Cookie. He’s visiting from Hartford, Connecticut.

    Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to lead. Til next time! McRib

    NMS:

    Whenever someone gets on the Lexicon before their Q, it could be a bad day. The Burpee Jackass Webb is no joke, just like the Jack Webb’s you think its not a problem until you get about half way through. The old men prevailed this morning with 4 of the 6 being on the respect side.

  • NBA/WBNA we are not!!

    Good morning….a nice group of 7 potential ballers(including a visit from Upchuck gracing us) came out to Timberwolf this morning for an early morning shoot around. A little mosey to the courts, a good WARMARAMMA(SSH, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Helicopters, Jazzercise, Don Quixotes, Cherry Pickers, Merkins and LBCs). After that a little extra stretching to help loosen things up, then time to train

    We started off 2 rounds of suicides(1 the regular way, 1 starting long). After that we started going into knockouts(the 2nd round was a long one). Along the way changed things up with a few full court drills shooting lay-ups, spot up jumpers(penalties if you air balled it or did not hit the rim). After that back to just shooting free throws(boy we were starting to show our lack of training). The penalty was 20 Merkins. Then onto shooting 3s(not good there), 30 Merkins once we hit 10 made 3s. The end was coming so a final round of knockouts(Nancy had the bank working) took home the final one.

    A little run back to the flag, Count-a-rama, Announcements(including the 4th Thursday lunch today at Rusty Taco). prayer led by YHC and we called it

    Everyone….be careful over the next few days. The temperatures will climb plus the humidity so make sure the fluids are a plenty, if you need to slow down, take a little extra break during a workout(please do). Even if you need to take a drink, run with it while training that’s ok. We have been lucky this summer so a blast we were overdue for

    Have a good one…see you tomorrow at Satan’s Hill

  • Did I make the team Coach?

    12 Studs laced up their high tops and broke out their sweat bands for a little Basketball conditioning this morning. Honeymoon was eager to find out at the end whether or not he made the team, but only the ELITE can earn their Midlo Tropic tanks. These 12 were just that. Great job fellas!

    Warmarama –

    Mosey to the Bball courts and do 1 lap around and circle up. SSH, Don Quixote, Imp Walkers, Ukr soldiers, Arm circles, Cherry pickers, dead man hang L/R/C, Merkins, Hold plank 20 sec, forearm plank 20 sec, LH high, RH high, back to plank. LBCs, Flutter kicks, Freddie Mercury, W/S wipers, Scorpion Kicks.

    The THANG –

    Drill 1:

    Triple check. P1 takes a bball and does full court suicides. Penalty of 3 burpees if you lose control of the ball. P2 does merkins, P3 does Dry Docks

    Drill 2:

    Triple check 2, cross over drill. YHC brought cones. Dribble to cone 1 cross over to opposite hand a dribble with that hand. Cross back over at next cone, repeat. There were 3 cones that stretched the length of the court. Same penalty if you lost control of the ball. P2 does squats, P3 does groiners.

    Drill 3:

    Cone Layup drill. P1 starts at the baseline and their is a cone at the top of the key and another at the elbow. P1 dribbles from baseline around the cone at the top around the cone at the elbow and does a layup. P2 does American Hammers, P3 does WW1s. This time it is a 5 burpee penalty for the team if any one player misses a lay up. I was surprised how many burpees had to be done here.

    Drill 4:

    KNOCKOUT

    Game 1 – Free throw line. I thought this would go quicker from the free throw line. Again, I was a bit surprised. Those knocked out complete called exercise until the next person gets knocked out, and that PAX member called the next exercise. Repeat until one is left standing.

    Game 2 – Split PAX in half and use both courts for 3 point line knock out. Once you were knocked out, run to the gate by light pole alley. YHC was feeling good and knocked down three straight 3s to end the second courts game early.

    Game 3 – Winners on one side, Consolation game on the other. Back to free throw line due to time. Pax determined whether or not they were winners and what game to join. Once knocked out, mosey around the school and back to flag.

    COT –

    Announcements – State Farm VQ tomorrow at Satan’s Hill, School of Rock this Saturday at Rock and Roll. Ms and 2.0s to join after the standard beat down at 8. DTH is bringing watermelon, cookies, treats for the kids. Herme brought us home.

    Great job today men! You all got your hustle on and the ring of sweat droplets left on the ground after we broke the circle told the story. Enjoy your day and the rest of your week. YHC has family in town internationally today through Monday so I will like be out the next few days. But CRUSH the rest of your week!
