Pain Highway

  • When:4/15/15
  • QIC: Ice9
  • The PAX: Bratwurst, Bananas, Dasher, Chanel, Grease Monkey, Mop Top, Soft Pretzel, Ice9


Pain Highway

8 men paid what they owed.  Since it was Marvin, they owed a lot.

The Thang:

Warm-up

  • SSH x15
  • Burpees x50

Main Event

Mosey to Pain Highway.  Run the pain highway, stopping at each of 11 signs to perform ascending numbers of the called exercise.  Then run back to the start.  At the start, we did burpees in cadence and knee-ups.  The exercises were:

  • Merkins
  • Knee-ups
  • Squats
  • Jumping Lunges (2=1)
  • Burpees

Closing

Mosey home.  Do some knee-ups and heels to heaven until time is called.

COT.  Many thanks to Bratwurst for taking us out.

Moleskin

  • Pretty studly group out there today.  Very nice work.
  • Anybody notice that Dromedary is diverse? You’ve got the meatheads (Chanel and Bananas), the runners (Bratwurst and Dasher), and then the rest of us who aspire on different days to be part of each clan.  Love this workout, and expect to be here weekly for at least the next 11 weeks.
  • Happy Birthday to Grease Monkey.  GM turned 47 today, was the war daddy, and earned whatever cake he wants to eat tonight. I heard something at the end about him and Bananas being married to twins that have “good hands.”  Not sure what that euphemism means, nor that i got it all, and decided i should leave it alone. They may choose to explain in the comments section below, hopefully in a PG version.
  • Particularly strong performance today by Mop Top, who was determined and pushed it for all he had. Nice work.
  • Was a pleasure.  See you guys next week.

OUT

Man that was PAINful. I’ve reached that point where my calfs are completely locked up and oddly I’m loving it, knowing I got through that madness of a workout.

Thanks for pushing us hard today brother, it was a good one!

You sir are a monster. Burpees are not active recovery. Great lead and we are honored to have you regardless of why you are doing your tour here…. but especially why. Btw my bro-lo F3 Goodhands is a CLT south guy. Grease Monkey and Long Haul claim a similar bro-lo relationship. Can’t wait to see my kettlebell after seeing so much pavement today.

And I quote, “I don’t always modify Burpees, but when I do, it’s because of Ice9” – The most interesting man in the world.

The quote needs to be “I don’t always post with Ice9, but when I do, I re-check my sanity”

Sounds like a great workout, sorry I missed it. Looks like I may be out a while while I nurse a shoulder injury, but no worries, I may be down, but don’t count me out. I will be back.
