All aboard….

All aboard….

Choo-Choo boys for what would be my 14th Q! Unfortunately my redneck bud Banjo has hurt his knee spending too much time kneeling on concrete at his “job”. I got the bat signal and accepted the opportunity to step up because why not. My theme as I started planning this last night was to start with things I got made fun of for I know that work and build as we go….

But do we even need gear to get freaking yoked? Probably not but we do need gear to make true progress on what I’m being told are vanity muscles (defined as: muscles that are generally harder to really build up with the soul purpose of being noticed and usually take to much work to keep up). Arms, legs and Abdominals.

We started by throwing a small amount of coal in the engine to get these cold locomotives warmed up. With time we would continue to shovel generous amounts of coal into the hopper to really crank up the intensity.

DCCS reviewed. Let’s get it!

MOLESKIN

A great group of usual suspects posted today with a continued newby from the Lands of Briar! Always a pleasure to lead the group and it was great to be challenged with the Chiseled site’s abundance of gear. Thanks to Fuse and Chainsaw for helping to grab stuff from the shed and spreading to the stations.

After the warmup it was time to grab some bricks from my mean, lean, blacked out minivan for some Mosey. I think I heard something about my use of bricks but the PAX quickly quieted down some exercises and laps. Those bricks are heavier then they seem…

Unfortunately the lunge walk to longer than expected but they burn was just so freaking good. One of these days I’m going to get my thighs to stop touching with my continued attack on their size. Little known fact, when I wear corduroy and walk it sounds like I’m starting a weed wacker. And the chaffing….

I highly recommend buying some cheap cones and a wax pen to write the name of the stations for Chiseled. Saves valuable time at a site where losing a decent HR due to the length of explaining each station can be a problem.

I snagged some sledgehammers on clearance a few years ago that would be a great addition to the site. Banging those bad boys against the tire made for an interesting full body exercise.

Very little chatter except for a few one liners from the two angriest typical PAXs in all of WUC. May take some of that chloroform that Legalized is sourcing currently to start taking them down before each post. Nothing a little “tar and feathering and duct tapped to a tree” before a workout to knock few guys down a peg…. #zin-g

Sadly no burpees and bear crawl due to time with rocks. I had something terrible planned that I will make sure to bust out at my next Q!

Thanks for taking us out Legalized!
