Dumb & Dumber



Dumb & Dumber

While circling up at the end Impromptu yesterday, Recalculating through out the idea of splitting the Q for Commitment. I had heard this was frowned upon but I jumped at the chance to host with a local legend. While Recalc has a persona of the cranky guy, you will find he’s merely an exaggerated version of his actual self. While he does bicker it’s with the intention of laughter. If you get some words thrown at you, run with it….he means well.

So like Lloyd Christmas famously said in the 1994 smash hit, “You know, the elderly, although slow, and dangerous behind the wheel, can serve a purpose. Don’t you go dying on me now!” This quote couldn’t sum up my feelings for Recalc anymore….

Let’s go….

THE THANG

Jog to circle, circle up, disclaimer given, exercise:

• SSH

• Moroccan Night Club

• Merkins

• Squats

• Imperial Walkers

Mosey to Community Entrance & Split into 3 Lines. Indian Run w/ a burpee to Elementary School Courtyard.

Individual Cone & Ladder Stations, split up into groups of 8. Planned to do Laps every 2 stations but my 30 minutes was running short. Stations were:

1. Burpees

2. Carolina Dry Docks CC

3. Mtn Climbers IC

4. Ladder Merkins OYO

5. American Hammers IC

6. Jump Squats CC

7. Ladder Dance OYO

8. 6” Plank Jacks

Burpees Count Down to the handoff, 10 Burpees a minute for 2 minutes

RECALC takes the reins….

Increasing stamina & conditioning with 3 x 220yd sprints. Goal to decrease times between each cycle.

Millbridge’s version of Keith Jong Hill. Not as steep but seemed to never end.

• Reverse suicide up the hill with escalating Hurley Trio at each stop

• Hurley trio: 1 Bob Sr (burpee), 2 Danny’s (broad jump), 3 Bobby’s Hurley’s

• Increase count at each end of suicide by 1

Re-up the conditioning back to the start. 3 x 220yd sprints to finish. Jail break to parking lot

Thank you Goodfella for taking us out!

MOLESKIN

Chilly morning but anything was better than Deadwood Qing again rain! That brisk 44 degrees didn’t scare off the 19 PAX that posted this morning. Recalc and I shot a bit from the hip on the plan but it worked out really well. My focus would be building blue twisted steel muscles….

Usual warm up but the slow Mosey to the entrance of Nesbit Park and we were already down a few PAX. Lost Popeye and hope he’s wiping icing his ailment. Then we thought we lost Rudy but he was picking up his 2.0, Lancer. We started the Indian Run to pick up the 6. Lancer asked where we were headed and little dude sprinted there! Great to see these young guys getting it….

We got to station work and quickly learned how many guys memories were completely shot. I handed them mental station numbers and 1/4 of the groups couldn’t remember. Quick regroup and we split up. Nothing major happened here other than my choice of Steve Winwood & Eric Clapton’s Live album not providing the energy we needed for the burpees. Def Leopard next time….

I happily jumped to the passenger seat and Recalc took us on a journey. I was completely confused with whatever he said we were doing but I was taught by my parents to respect my elders. 40 sec, 35 sec and 30 sec sprints it was. Shout out to Dana for letting the PAX pass him after stage 1 to rid his body of a taco infused hot air biscuit.

Disclaimer given by Goodfella about the need for Millbridge folks like to sleep and we should keep it down. After Recalc told us about the Hurling Hurley Family Suicides it was silent.

Minutes left and it was back to the 220yd sprints to get home. Bottlecap accused two Clydesdales of sandbagging but personally I would much rather compete in short sprints for 45 minutes than LSD (long slow distance). My frame was built for sprints and it seems Fuse Box’s body was too.

It was a pleasure to split the Q with Recalc and to lead you group of great men. Always good to see the 2.0s joining us and seeing the extra push out of the Dad’s.

  • Easy Button – this dude can hustle and puts in the work every workout. I can say that if you get a lurker “like” on GroupMe from Tim it’s worth 5. He’s picky for quality in the playground.
  • Recalc – I busted your chops a bunch above but I appreciate you. Always one to pick the group up in workouts with great humor and always giving over 100%.
  • Dancing Bear & Carebear – great you have you back bro and way to push today. I know that’s not easy to come back after a week off but it probably helped that you didn’t want to lose to your son. Hahaha.
  • Doughboy – we partnered up for those BH Suicides and you dusted me up that hill. Your endurance and drive every workout is something everyone should take notice of. Keeping all Clydesdales in check!!
  • Chainsaw – your level of effort is impressive! All of us are in awe of what you bring every workout and I’m looking forward to seeing you pop your cherry on Monday! #VQ
  • Banjo – finally this guy posts and hopefully one day he will Q a site other than Chiseled. Fingers crossed! Kidding, we clown car’d it a bunch this week. Crushed yesterday’s workout and was at the top of the pack today. Well done and keep letting Dancing Bear have it! Banjo is a bit quiet at workouts but dude is hilarious.
  • Legalized – posting a ton lately and those LUMENS would have made DW proud. All 100 of them! Keep pushing man, you are making great progress.
  • Fuse Box – I’m thinking about requesting a name change to Quiet Sweet Tea Sippin’ SOB but it doesn’t have the same ring to it. We throw a lot of sh!t at you here in the playground most of it deserved but you take it well. Way to push through today and pass BC and I at the end. Never seen such happiness out of you at a workout until we announced we were moving coffeeteria to McDonalds. Thanks for buying my $4 lady coffee!
  • Chicken Little – I think this was your first Saturday post and it was great to see you out there with us. You always pick me up when I’m walking slumping and I appreciate it. Looking forward to the 14% sour beer later today bud.
  • Southern Belle – thanks for driving the clown car this AM and your ladders. Everyone can thank you for enabling my merkin ladders. Another hilarious guy that doesn’t share his humor ever with all PAX but it’s a selling point if you are thinking about moving to Briarcrest. Dude slays everyone in our BC chat.
  • Dana – what can I say about you that I didn’t say already when I mentioned you farting away from the rest of the PAX. You are a real hero when it comes to manners and I appreciate you giving me a run for my money every workout.
  • Goodfellas – SSSSSHHHHHHHHH!! Keep it down guys. Zin-g! A leader on every workout and a leader amongst the entire WUC. Appreciate you pushing yourself and others constantly.
  • Rudy & Lancer – keep up the good work boys. I know Recalc gave you all a run for your money trying to locate us later in the workout but glad you found us. You are putting in the effort and we are all seeing the results, keep it up! VQ coming up soon and everyone will be there for that.
  • Bottlecap – sorry I missed you on Name-o-Rama and I will happily buy your 1 beer a week to make up for my error. Front of the pack per usual and even picking up the 6 with GF today. Thanks for humor and stepping up to lead in all types of facets.
  • Popeye – I’m not exactly sure when we lost you but I hope you are ok man. Let us know if you need anything!
  • Rubbermaid – I’m too distracted by how hard Tupperware works to talk about your level effort today. You left a little early to pick up TW from the fire house to take him to build burritos. Rubbermaid is teaching his boys right and those are stories dad’s here will share with their kids at some point. I know I will. A lot to be proud of brother!

Yikes. That just took me nearly 2 hours to type. Luckily I had a tasty 30th Birthday Anniversary brew from Portland to help me close strong.

Great to see Mad Dog today at McDonalds and hope he joins us in his finest sweatpant material outfits in the future!

Happy Saturday!
