  • 1986

    Did my Birthday Q a week late because of the ice last week. 11 showed for it. Here’s what went down.

    Warm-up

    Brought my bluetooth speaker to play only songs from 1986 (sorry Wilson that you missed it). Seriously about half of the songs have been turned into State Farm commercials but 1986 definitely produced some hits.

    With Beastie Boys playing in the background we started a horse shoe. From one side of the parking lot run around the bus and back to the other side and add on to each exercise each time.

    5 Merkins, 10 WWII’s, 15 squats, 20 American Hammers, 25 plank jacks, 30 dry docks, 35 LBCs

    Next do 10, 10, 10, 5 of each exercise at the light poles across the parking lot.

    Merkins, Ball dippers, Plank Jacks, Dry Docks, Crunchy Frogs, SSHs.

    Sprint back to the flag while listening to “The Final Countdown”.

    Doesn’t sound too bad writing it out, but it was definitely tough. Good work boys! Thanks for coming out.

  • What is a triple Titsworth

    YHC emerged from Rosetta’s sleigh to full parking lot at Timberwolf, not common here in the depth of winter. The PAX welcomed Rockport a just moved to Midlo recruit who completed several workouts in NOVA. With the clock striking the bottom of the hour YHC called for a mosey to front parking lot.

    COP SSH’s 30. Note in middle of count YHC started laughing reliving the disagreement he had with his M the night prior regarding Herme’s real name until he changed it. That sparked a spirited mumble chatter that lasted throughout the workout. 10 each: DQ’s, IW’s, Deadman hang, Helicopters, arm circles big and small, Merkins, LBC’s, FLutter kicks, Dollies, Rosalita’s,. And off we mosey to bus lot.

    Triple/triple. Round 1 Drydocks, LBC’s and Runner around the bus on far end. Round 2 Runner Bernie down/run back Flutter kicks and merkins. PAX- Toe taps for 30 seconds Plank for 2 minutes. Round 3 Runner touch the bus, toe taps, Squats.

    Announcements: Florence is offering to rehab any knee injuries by sharing his PT learnings. Welcome back Florence.

    Glow for Galactosemia 5K run 2/28.

    YHC took us out in prayer. Prayers for Honeymoon’s dad and continue road to good health. Prayers to Rosetta’s friends family who lost loved ones to Covid. Prayers to life quides. I lost my father 1 year and 3 days ago. He was a guide in my life. When you lose your guides to life look around and realize you are now the guide for others. Make today awesome gentlemen!!

  • Snowball Fight

    YHC rolled into Timberwolf right at the bell for a little fun in the snow. 6 PAX awaited. YHC considered why we did not stay on Satan’s Hill but alas Boberry would have been lonely. YHC was surprised it was snowing considering it was 70 degrees. Nonetheless according to the brave cafeteria workers who arrived here is what went down.

    Mosey to front lot for COP. COP: 50 SSH, 10 each DQ’s, Cherry pickers, Deadman hangs, IW’s, Russian soldiers, Hillbillies, helicopters, arm circles x2x20 and a few more stretches just to make the PAX limber.

    The thang all sorts of 4 corners. 4 corners in front lot. 50 each squats, plank jacks, monkey humpers, LBC’s on the corners. NExt 4 corners around the school. Squats, mountain climbers, and 2 others that escape me. 2nd time around school stop at 2nd corner. Snowball fight. Hit the backboard with a snowball from 3 point line and workout would change. 6 PAX missed including QB1 (aka POG). YHC last up nailed it and made a hoop with remains. 4 corners begins on basketball court with 4 x50 on corners. Move to tennis courts and repeato. To the wall for some stretches, peoples chair and a minute of plank to round it out.

    Announcements: Monday at Kindred Spirits 6pm

    Sunday 2/28 4pm Glow for Galactosemia would love to have you out to support this cause.

    Prayers to Injured Reserve PAX and blessings to a quick return. Prayers to being a positive influence on others.

    Always a pleasure to lead. What I thought was a dry spot on one corner was actually slush (Hello Dollies). Sorry about that PAX.

    NMM

    While we were chatting at the end there was a speed demon lunch lady who must have been late, we were ready to jump out of the way as fast as they were rolling in! Good to catch up with Bullseye. These times are tough on all of us. YHC is very thankful we have each other to lean on. As ever during this ongoing pandemic it feels like we are in the year 2020 part 2. YHC appreciates we all have different comfort levels. Two PAX with COVID is certainly scary. As with all the beat downs YHC has attended this week we took extra care to maintain social distancing.

  • The Elusive 4 minute Mile

    8 brave brothers escaped the warmth of the fartsack knowing full well what laid ahead. according to the ice on the track, this is how it went down….

    warm up: SSH, DQ, DMH, Helicopters, Jazzercise, merkins, LBCs

    Thang 1: Quadruple triple check (later corrected by Honeymoon to be a triple quadruple check); run, dips, copperhead squats, & WWIIs. YHC was then informed that we were running out of time for track work so we advanced to the track.

    Thang 2: the elusive 4 minute mile. 16 x 100m w/ 20sec rest between efforts. Lap splits were (to the best of my memory as my 2.0 erased them): 82, 79, 77, 75. for a total of a 5:13 mile.

    Mosey up the ice for a peoples chair hold while each of the PAX did 10 bobby hurleys. staying at the wall next was ascending testicles 10 cadence count of regular merkins, 10 merkins with legs at 45deg angle on wall and 10 count in verticle arm stand.

    Freddy M’s and flutters to end the morning.

    Prayers for Florence’s mother as she recovers from a knee injury and Boberry’s sister in law for recovery from her operation.

    announcearama: new years convergence at New Market. In some of the mumble chatter today I heard a new term called a, “road boner”. Defined as the the over ambition to sign up for workouts while in the stress free environment of the road.

    Strong work today fellas.
