The Four Horsemen

Tweeted out last night that it’s been a hot minute since my last post at a Saturday workout, but was more than willing to oblige Gummy on his request for Q this AM.  After getting some ground rules at The Rock from Gummy this week (i.e. make it tough, but not too tough, guys don’t like burpees or exercises to failure, don’t use steep entrance on Rea, etc.), I was ready to go.  The three other Horsemen showed up for the Main Event and off we went.

Random Thoughts

North Face is just really stupid.  Decided to start with it because A) I had to include it in the weinke, but B) needed to get it in first because I would’ve died if it was tried any other time during the workout.  Some of the pax actually started to bear crawl toward the top, the thing is just a mother.

If I had to describe the Pax as the Horsemen, I’d have to describe it as:  Jamboree is Flair, definitely not because of inflated persona, but he was always out front; Hammer is Tully, not a lot of talking, but just lets his work speak for itself; Geraldo and me are Arn and Ole, the two enforcers keeping everyone in line.

The Day Zero boys did radio in for permission to buzz the tower, were subsequently told that the pattern is full, but did their circus stunt flyby anyway.  Did anyone do anything with the Admiral’s daughter too??

Gummy/Hopper, thanks for the opportunity at this massive AO, always a pleasure.

Jamboree, thanks for taking us out brother.

Before the DZ guys jump all over me (I know they read our backblasts with envy while drinking their smoothies), my guidance wasn’t to keep it from beign too tough. It was that we don’t like to do stupid things like carry sandbags 1.5 miles to a parking deck, bearcrawl down the NF (I’m looking at you, Flipper), 100 burpees OYO, etc. We like customers to leave The Rock satisfied, not injured.

Thanks for leading Mr. Pop. Many of the regulars were sick (me), injured (Hopper), or otherwise occupied. Glad to see the four horseman represented though. I keep trying to get Hacksaw back out (I see him at the office a lot). We should focus on giving more 80s wrestling nicknames. Superfly. Macho Man. Mr. Perfect. Hot Rod. Captain Lou. Endless possibilities.

For the record, the concession stand guy likes us. He usually heckles us if we’re in the hotbox for long while he’s getting the chicken biscuits and coffee ready. He’d fit right in (Mr. Bojangles? Biscuit?).
