Back to Basics — Feel The Burn!
33 Death Valley faithful posted around the VSF and got after their mid week downPAINment. After a day of slinging dumbbells around (shoulders, bi’s & tri’s) and playing Double Dutch jump rope with one another (I swear I even so a few of the PAX playing hopscotch yesterday), it was time to get back to our roots for some old fashioned cardio-burn!

Moleskin:
_Large showing today with a PAX of 33 arriving in the gloom – QIC thought about splitting up the PAX into 2 groups but was beat down with mutiny stating “We come as a group, we work out as a group and we leave as a group”. Nuff said!
_Great to see Skywalker making a strong comeback off the DL and bringing it strong…
_Strong showing by Donkey Kong once again, brother continues to just bring it day in and day out, ruck no ruck, rain no rain etc… Donkey Kong don’t care, he don’t give a ……!!!!!!! – great to have you out.
_Tclaps to Bulldog and Run Stopper playing the rabbits throughout the workout. #too fast for me – sorry TR but you only get an honorable mention this go round. Especially since you were caught vacationing during COP – Have to give respect to HOPs, Cheese Kurd and (Abacus, Smash, Lex Luthor, Hammer, Wolfman etc….), you boys were flying out there.

Great Q Zippidy (I now know how to spell your moniker correctly).
Jump squats are just painful…especially 55 of them with sprints in between.
As for on the “basketball court”? only about 10 of the 33 were on the court – the rest of the pax were planking and merkining (sp?) on gravel, grass and glass #newkindofpain
Still say DK could do with a new moniker – Funky Kong or perhaps Honey Badger!
In the song it’s spelled, Zip-A-Dee (as he spells it in the QIC tab). The IT team let us down on the this one…
Zip needs to check his specs…Didn’t see who was on the grass during the 11’s: I will always be behind the head bobbers and little baby jump squatters and I’m okay with that. #focusonform. But it was awfully lonely at the front with Bulldog and Rhapsody during burpee suicides and the field sprints. #larrybirds #lotsofplanking
Ouch TR, “the head bobbers” eh? Any relation to your comments this am to a few on “short-arming” (BD)? I was just referencing your nap during the dolly’s, I’ll check my specs again but swear I saw you put ’em on the deck and even roll over like you were in the FS.
I should have totally recognized Rhapsody in the BB w/ the wheels just couldn’t remember. #BDhascompetition
