No lube needed

Leave a comment

So here’s the thing, I missed a few guys. Not bc I don’t appreciate my fans, but bc I was having oxygen issues in the brain and the video evidence was maliciously destroyed.

The 4 headed monster(ish) was fantastic and went as follows

Birdcage- 5 minute run for a warm up
LTrain- bear crawls, lunges, merkins, lbc, squats, running
Cohiba- Step ups, derkins, irkins, crab walks, more running
Fogerty- burpees, bear crawl, diamond merkins, uphill, more running
Liberty Biberty- wall sits, and running, and more running

Here’s the deal, we are accelerating. We are taking the first step TODAY. I couldn’t be any happier to be taking over #Bushpit. I have ideas, you want more, I will give the people what they want. Today is a new day for me, and you, and the Wood. Show to know what I got in store for next week. #MILGA

ALLTHUMBS!!!

Arrived early to pick up Cindy and her friends ( just more Cindys ). After the party favors were loaded in the truck I drove to the band practice lot, needed 25yard spacing, why reinvent the wheel. As I was setting up the workout layout noticed some early arrivals, RUCKERS ( pretty sure this is a cult ). They were off before I could return to COT and wish them a pleasant trip, as the call to conquer unknown terrain hastened their departure.
Cindys were ready and waiting, workout layout complete, and old man stretching completed. LFG!

WARMUP: Disclaimer was disclaimed and we moseyed from COT to the band parking lot. SSHICx25, HBWICx12, CPICx10, MerkinsICx12. Pax moseyed around the workout layout to receive an explanation of the format/flow of the workout and exercises to be completed at each station. Finished at the center station where the PAIN would begin.

THE THANG: 2022 IPC Challenge – Week #2 – The “Belle” Ringer
AMRAP for 45 minutes
Set-Up -Make a 5-point star ( pain stations ) from a center location with each point of the star being 25yards away.
Workout starts with:
1. 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 2 and perform 10 “We’re Not Worthy”. Farmer carry back to center.
2. 5 ManMakers in middle. Rifle carry to cone 3 and perform 15 Goblet Squats. Farmer carry back to center.
3. 5 ManMakers in middle. Rifle carry to cone 4 and perform 20 Curl to Press. Farmer carry back to center.
4. 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 25 Cindy Swings. Farmer carry back to center.
5. 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 30 Bent Over Rows. Farmer carry back to middle.

Scoring: Total reps for 45 minutes of the exercises
Each complete trip is 125 reps

Sasquatch was King, well into his 4th round, followed closely by his fellow BOSSMEN partner Spectre.

The reward for crushing this workout -SKINLESS THUMBS!!!

MARY: None needed

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Civitas race, First Responder WO fundraiser ( stay tuned as SpiderMan brings the details in near future, gonna be epic!!! )

Three lessons and……burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to Kimbrell’s parking lot. The following exercises in candence with burpees in between.

Windmills
Cherry Pickers
Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
Seal Jacks
Side Straddle Hops

THE THANG: Mosey to the site formerly known as Footloose

Lesson 1 – Treat the body rigorously so it does not fail the mind.

Partner DORA – 50 burpees, 100 squats, 150 flutter kicks

Mosey to the top of the hill at the parking lot on Monroe White for lesson 2.

Lesson 2 – You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

7’s in the lot – Burpees on one end, NUR to the other lunges on the opposite end. Note – Tesla is fast.

Mosey to Print Shop parking lot for LBC’s in cadence and rosalitas in cadence.

Mosey to the Millstone downtown. Touch the Millstone and do two burpees.

Mosey to the Parking Lot on Massey for Lesson 3

Lesson 3 – You should not give circumstances the power to rouse anger. For they do not care at all.

19 merkins of different types at each light pole.
This idea looked better on paper than in reality and the 559 bell rang while in the midst of attempting completion of these. PAX headed back to COT to make the 0600 deadline.

MARY: Was left at the Print Shop
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: always the 5th core principle

Cubbie – thanks for the call. Always a privilege to lead.

BushHolePit. Best if used on or before 08/13/25.

Leave a comment

17 men, 3 Ruckers and 14 of The Ungovernable, came to BushHolePit to celebrate National Left-Handers Day. Or just to workout. Whichever.

WARMUP:
Like we needed it warmer out there. But we did do a little moseying, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.
THE THANG:
We went the long way around the school (is there a short way?) stopping for some things along the way. Some Dora, some bear crawls, dips, step-ups, muscle ups, etc. You know what we DIDN’T stop for? Pull-ups? Why? Because the AO got all bougie and walled them off from us peasants. Oh well. I would elaborate on this mornings festivities, but I made no weinke and I am not smart enough to recall all the things.

All you need to know is Birdcage was there and you probably weren’t, so you missed out. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. Love him.

Ok, back to life.
MARY: No chicks.

MARY: No chicks.

Grab hold of an Expensed Footlong and let’s go

Leave a comment

‘Twas a damp, but not raining, morning and a group of elder statesman of The Fort came together to discuss rising prices and the good old days.

A trip past a few light poles with merkins and squats got the blood flowing. I missed the spot I had designated as the end, but no one said anything, so we just did them all… We pulled up on the field house and did a few dips on the seats there at the lunch tables, and that’s when the nostalgia dam broke.

Fogerty noted that this may be one of the only, if not the only, AOs in The Fort that has a soda machine. It’s $2 for a can of soda now, and this machine only takes good old American cash money… $2… then the “back in my days” started flying… it was a $1, it was .50¢, it was a quarter… blah, blah, blah… we probably all walked uphill both ways to the soda machines, too… I got it…

We crossed Bear Crawl Bridge (without doing any Bear Crawls) and did a little stair climb/dip/step up deal before we rounded the corner and kept on. The trip back was shorter than I thought, so I started to take us on round two before Fogerty had a much better suggestion. We headed back around the car pick-up line and did a little more work before an epic session of Mary where we learned things about each other we didn’t know before. For example:

– Fogerty’s first gallon of gas cost him 99¢
– Barry’s first date meal with his wife was a Subway sandwich that he’s fairly sure he expensed
– Fishstix’s first penny stock he purchased was for a company called Toypop that was billed as “the next Amazon”. We weren’t sure if it was an adult “toy” situation or not, but clearly it didn’t take off like he’d hoped since he was working out with us in the rain and not sipping Mai Tai’s on a beach in Cancun…
– Old Bay’s first car he purchased with his own money was a 1982 Toyota Supra. He no longer has it, but his cool factor is still almost as high…
– Cherry Pie blew us all away with his paper route prowess as he told us the cost of his first toy he bought for himself (a remote control car). $100 was a lot of money back then… :shocked_face_with_exploding_head:
– Cohiba’s first cigar was, non-ironically, was a cohiba that apparently was traded to him for 2 goats and a chicken’s leg

Then we wound it up and closed out.
