Tag: Timberwolf

6 SOJ men were ready for a Rosie Q at Timberwolf with one LIFO, but the PAX accepted the excuse post-workout.

Head to the tennis courts for a brief warmup of standard fare.

YHC explained the mini version of the Luck Horseshoe – one exercise then lap around the tennis courts always facing the same direction, run, slide left, bernie, slide right. Add exercise 2, lap, up to exercise 5 then start dropping. Exercises were the classic LH – merkins, Imperial squat walkers, scorpion dry docks, WWII, lunges, 20 of each. All rounds completed by the PAX, the mini version definitely kept us closer together than the full track version. Cottontails form is on point!

Mosey around the school to the benches for some low rep form work. 2 rounds of dips, AARP squats, derkins, split squats, hoe downs.

Mosey our way back to the flag adding 2 LIFO penalty burpees before the 45 minute mark.

Thanks for letting me take the lead at Timberwolf, it’s been a while since I’ve had the Q out there. You are welcome for making it a mini and not the full Lucky Horseshoe.

• Magnum PI workout at Dogpile this Saturday – wear your Hawaiian shirt, Tigers hat and mustache if you’ve got it
• Daddy Daughter dance Saturday 12/6 – lots of guys signed up, looks like it’s going to be a good time
• 12 Days of Christmas beatdown 12/23 at NoToll – reach out to EF Hutton or punch the HC button on his Secret Santa slack post if you want to join the gift exchange.

Maybe it was the night before text to bring gloves that held the numbers low today. I assume the fartsackers knew what that meant. You guessed it. THE HARDEST MILE.

0530 alarmed and the 5 HIMs took off at the starting line.

Lap1: Bear Crawls. PAX was a little worried with Wildcat out front, but we let him have his space.

Lap2: Lunges

Lap3: Broad jump burpees

Lap4: Run

With a low amount of modification, we had 5 min to spare. Lets destroy the abs. LBCs at different speeds and a long hold to end. Flutter kicks at different speeds with a hold at the end. Windshield wipers.

Great work all around gents!!! All safe for another 6 months.

Numbers, names, Announcements, PR, COT.

Chili cook off 11/23 at The Alamo Clubhouse

12/6 Daddy Daughter Dance see slack

Always a honor to lead you gents.

YHC was supposed to be on a flight to INDY at 6am, but client cancelled last night so I took advantage of an empty Q sheet! Rolled up to 3 familiar faces and 4 unexpected ones – I’ll let them sort of who’s in what group – but great to see everyone! Let’s mosey

Since I had numbers this week, we went back over to Thales and introduced folks to a fresh take on Timberwolf. Warmup included reminding Flyboy of the F3 mission and Rudy of his name…

Thang 1 – Pac man
Hermey was picked to be PacMan. There are 8 intersections, he started at one, we started at the opposite side. Rules are simple:
– Each time you get to an intersection, do 20x of exercise (rotate through merkins, squats, WW2, LBCs).
– Must stop at every intersection you come to
– Goal is to hit all 8 intersections (yes, you may have to repeat some)
– If PAC MAN crosses your path, you add 20 reps at each intersection (compounding)

Why was Hermey picked to be pacman? Because Hermey = chaos and he didn’t disappoint. Corners were cut, intersections were ignored, but he had a mission and he intended to carry it out. PAX did great maneuvering through the parking lot and avoiding. Rosie and Wildcat finished first, so YHC made a rule on the “fly” that they too are now Pac Man. Off you go! “Fly”boy was noticeably upset by this impromptu rule, this brought joy to YHC.

Thang 2 – 11’s
Firecrackers + Squats. Picked a section of the parking lot that met the required length. Small oversight on the grade of the slope, but whatevs…Note: Firecrackers hurt Rudy’s back

This was followed by some Dips > Incline Merkins > Dips > Incline Merkins to get a pump going for our chest. Pax was looking beefy after this.

Run over to a wall and did some OYO 10x donkey kicks followed by a 20 second hold. Wildcat and McGruff gave proper 20 counts, Rudy almost passed out.

Thang 3

Mosey BTTF, did a mini lightpole alley along the way and ended with a supreme ring of fire with some work-van dodging included. Note: Burpees do not hurt Rudy’s back.

Announcement – Bridge 11/15 ping Hutton, Chili Cook Off 11/23 ping Crabgrass, Thanksgiving workout @ Mary ping Handshake, 12/6 Daddy Daughter dance ping Meatball or Rudy

Prayers – Wildcat has the support of this brotherhood, those running in the race this weekend, continued blessings as we approach holidays.

Good work fellas, get some rest we have Mudslide at Satan’s Hill tomorrow.

Three of SOJ’s elite warriors rolled out of bed today, braved the drizzle, and discovered that Mother Nature had set the thermostat to “surprisingly pleasant.” According to the black cat that cursed our path, here’s the saga…

We kicked things off with a triangular warm-up around the school and bus lane—because circles are too mainstream. Right about then, the heavens opened up and dumped buckets on us. Warm-up continued, but only with moves that kept our butts off the soggy ground (you’re welcome).

Then we left the cozy confines of Timberwolf and ventured into the wild unknown: Thales Academy. The plan was Pac-Man, but apparently the PAX feared becoming waterlogged ghosts. So instead, we explored Thales’ parking lot, Pac man will have to wait…

Highlights of our adventure:

1. 12 Corners – Why settle for four like amateurs? We hit every intersection in a figure-8 pattern, cranking out 15 reps of whatever YHC dreamed up.
2. 7’s – Because 11’s sounded too ambitious for a field that was soft, squishy, and slightly tilted. Burpees + Firecrackers = spicy misery.
3. Triple Check – Squats, merkins, and a runner.
4. The Scenic Route – A grand tour: parking lot, woods, bus lane, front of the school, and back to the flag. Finished with three rounds of Ring of Fire.

Rain? Conquered. Spirits? High. SOJ? Still undefeated. Nancy there will be a lot of well-rested guys at Satan’s Hill for you tomorrow

Triangle of Trust: Nancy has a good Q for tomorrow at Satans Hill, Chili cook-off 11/23, Daddy Daughter dance 12/6. Prayers for Jamaica

cop – rolled in with a nice OC and DK combo surprise.

warmarama – in the normal way with some pillow talk and an exchange of words with an angry elf. Pillow talk apparently isn’t taken for a f3 nickname yet. Fly boy apparently enjoys speaking his mind to people he doesn’t know. He’s savage.

THANG – we did some dojo dan, practiced some kicks and some blocks – the pax looked like they were ready to fight in UFC

so, we mosey on over to the light poles for LPA

ex at both ends, started at 10 reps and increased by 10 reps while dropping a light pole at each set w a run in between. Ex’s were mod’d burpee, dry dock, ww2, squat, etc etc up to 90 mount climbers on each side.

LPA ran up to 614 and 30sec

COT – announce, name/number-ama, prayer req’s, and YHC took us out

it was a privilege and pleasure to lead such a fine group

First Thursday at Timberwolf since June that we weren’t doing a sports-themed or Iron Pax workout, which admittedly felt a little odd. The original Q decided to run with the “Aches & Pains” crew at Alamo yesterday, and he himself walked away with one and had to hot potato the lead. Added to the “gloom” mystique on a frosty October morning. So, what do we do? We do what we know works! Let’s mosey

Around the school to the bus lanes for my standard warmarama. In honor of Nancy “Sailor” Lopez, who I I think had to rent a boat to deliver shoes to Kenya because it’s cheaper, we went with Lightpole Alley!

LP 1 – 100 calf raises
LP 2 – 90 CR/toe taps
LP 3 – 80 CR/TT/squats
LP 4 – 70 CR/TT/squats/SSH
LP 5 – 60 CR/TT/squats/SSH/LBC
LP 6 – 50 CR/TT/squats/SSH/LBC/AL Prom Dates
LP 7 – 40 CR/TT/squats/SSH/LBC/APD/Donkey Clappers
LP 8 – 30 CR/TT/squats/SSH/LBC/APD/DC/Lunges
LP 9 – 20 CR/TT/squats/SSH/LBC/APD/DC/Lunges/Dry docks
LP 10 – 10 CR/TT/squats/SSH/LBC/APD/DC/Lunges/DD/Firecrackers

The bus drivers were beginning to show up and there was mumble chatter on the radio about the motion-of-our-oceans while performing AL Prom Dates…or so we assume anyways.

Mosey BTTF, collecting hoodies along our way. Finished with a 5 min Ring of Fire “legs” style

Announcements – Chili Cook-off aiming for 11/23 details to come, Father Daughter Dance 12/6

Prayers – Hermey’s wife, those on the mend like Warby.
