A rare ufo BB
Date: 2024-03-22 AO: _area-51 Q: MARTA PAX: Spyglass, Schottzie, Yeti, Shank, Chandelier, Paris, Situation, Fruity Pebbles, Chubbs, Broken Arrow, Chris Solomonides, Victoria, Crawdad, Mayo, Zipper, sweeney_todd, harambe Tebow intern FNGs: None COUNT: 18 WARMUP None. Old guys warm up beforehand and ice and or Epsom bath afterward.
The Thang: Pink v. Yellow. A classic battle of fates. Teams were carefully crafted for a classic clash of considerable consequence. The teams:
Pink: Yeti, Chubbs, Fruity Pebbles, Situation Mayo, Paris, Victoria Broken Arrow + 1 intern Spyglass Yellow: Shank sweeney_todd MARTA Zipper Chandelier @tebow @harambe Crawdad Chris Solomonides Schottzie
It’s surprising how even the teams are with the method of choosing them. The battle was off at the crack of 522 for another installment of Frizz. Early game highlights included an impressive aerial defense by Victoria to intercept a dime by yours truly. Shank tackling cul de sac buddy Paris on another huck eliminating a fierce competitor with confusing collegiate allegiances from the match for a short period of time, and Crawdad being everywhere in the end zone. The match was fairly even with yellow going up early only to let Pink tie it up in the last 10 minutes on high end throws by Victoria. Turnovers abounded through the game with a few hammers for scores mixed in here and there.
It was noted that the commissioner has rapidly grown the Friday game without planning for additional pennies. Be on the look out for Spyglass to structural changes to the league (i.e. institute a mandatory ufo f3 shirts policy … or get more pennies)
The final moments were decided by a TO off the pull and impressive aerial athletic ability by sweeney_todd. Another hammer sealed the win for yellow. Kudos to Paris for toughing out the injury on worn out ankles.
MvP: Crawdad with at least 4 scores on the day. Final score: 3 – 0 yellow. Non hammer scores do not count. Also it appears the number of ufo f3 shirts accurately predicts the winner. ANNOUNCEMENTS: NONE COT – praise that Jh’s dad’s surgery went well and his recovery – prayer for Chubbs wife rolled anke with 2.0s in tow. Spyglass takes us out.

So the Fab five grabbed 3 sand bags (40ish,50,60).

We rotate through the sandbags from light to heavy. The man that had the 60lb moves to burpees. This group of exercises took up alot of time with all the levels of the deck. There was some misguidance by the Q and some shenanigans from the PAX. wither way we had fun. Mosey home and complete 26 burpees IC with the last 3 minutes.
MARY: NO ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sign up for WTF COT: Go to Einstein’s

Swingin’ in the Rain…Happy Again
Date: 2024-03-23 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: mighty_mite, ickey_shuffle, Wabbit, MARTA, flipper, The Worm FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Undeterred by the literal gloom, seven pax descended upon the Hot Box for a sneakily brutal workout. Though the weinke looks innocent enough, the sheer repetition wore down even the greatest of grip strength. Nevertheless, the pax powered through aided by solid mumblechatter and a somewhat irreverent playlist. In YHC’s defense, we weren’t THAT close to the church, especially considering the walls surrounding the aforementioned Hot Box. Mumblechatter ranged across topics including the plight of SEC basketball to the oddity of commercials for today’s youth. Great to see a good group out this AM. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x one-handed swings (e/s), synovial circles, 7x slingshots (e/w) THE THANG: 1) Presses! (10 sets) – Single presses (5x e/s) 2) Swings! (26 min EMOM) – 1-handed swings (10x) 3) Carries! (4 sets) – Farmer’s carries w/ heavy bells (90 sec); 0800 came around right at the ~60 sec mark of the last set, but the farmer’s carries back to the car post-workout rounded out the set in YHC’s opinion MARY: Not today! ANNOUNCEMENTS: – WTF coming up on 4/20 – Likely others have heard this, but learned this week that in a snow storm bison will actually turn into the direction of the storm as they know this will hasten the discomfort and get them through it more quickly. Cattle, on the other hand, turn away and huddle together. So this week, either you face your problems head on and do what needs to be done or avoid them, hope they go away, and prolong the pain. Bison or cow…your choice. – Massive t-claps to Ickey for making YHC aware that this gem of cinematography exists on this planet we call Earth. This might be the single best thing YHC has seen on the Internet in the past month, easily. Claymation Rambo was the chef’s kiss…glorious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtffv9bpB-U COT: YHC took out the pax as the men of the Rock got lost in the rain somewhere.
Hand me my balls!
Date: 2024-03-22 AO: the-brave Q: midriff PAX: wildturkey, soft_pretzel, Hippie, wingman, picasso, Odd Job, bratwurst, Franky, kirby, fire_hazard FNGs: None COUNT: 11 The Brave is more than a workout; it’s a crucible where leaders are forged, and limits are tested. Time to bring out the balls and forge some leaders. Our adventure began with basketballs in hand, setting the stage for what was about to be an epic showdown of fitness meets hoops.
Stop on the bridge for some shoulder press. wingman runs ahead for a brief pit stop at the hotel.
Schoolyard Hoops: Our journey led us to Endhaven Elementary, the site of our first challenge. Here, PAX were put to the test with free throws and a rigorous tip drill. The aim? Precision under pressure. We went 0-11, with burpees and laps the due punishment for such inaccuracy. Turns out white man can’t jump or shoot. Unless you’re Jack Gohlke who can indeed shoot 3’s.
Run over to British International School and realize the half court where I wanted to play some 5-on-5 is gated and locked. Franky kindly reminds me that we have only traveresed 2 miles and are nearly half way into the workout. Audible over to the parking lot for some sprints and big boi sit ups.
Mosey back across 485, stopping before the bridge for more wall sits, shoulder press and derkins on the guardrail. bratwurst experiences less anxiety knowing that there’s a grassy knoll behind us now in case the guardrail gives out, instead of 4 lanes of traffic.
Parking Deck Punisher: Work on our ball handling skills while running up levels, doing LBC’s and Dwight Howards. As dawn gave way to day, we capped off our workout with a fierce round of burpees and more sprints, this time in the parking lot in front of AAA. Indigenous people run-dribble-thing in two separate lines back to launch. Finish with a few more, you guessed it, burpees.
Fun times were had by all, by combining fitness and the game of basketball. Thanks bratwurst for taking us out in prayer.

Date: 2024-03-22 AO: kevlar Q: hoover PAX: Orange Whip, Big League Chew, poptart, Rudy, spackles, ChickenWing, O Tannenbaum, limey FNGs: None COUNT: 9 YHC was tapped yesterday to lead the fine men of Kevlar, a little schedule reshuffling by the site-q’s.

Other notable topics: getting free $$ from NC sports betting, these apps are all offering free money for a $5 bet. See Spackler for more details. Somewhere along the way, Pop Tart became an advocate for betting on porn through NC sports app betting. We’re all trying to figure out what you’d be betting on, though.
Drinking challenges: – Orange Whip and his wife drink bourbon on their way to Seaboard for bad pizza. – Limey used to do “cannon balls” which is a handle of Carlo Rossi wine between a group of fellow belligerents. basically keep drinking until it’s gone. – Chicken Wing and his college buddies would get 5 guys to a handle of liquor and each one takes a long drink before heading out. Ah, the good ole days. – YHC used to do kill-a-keg which was a competitive drinking team of 9 who had to finish a keg in 45 minutes. You spew on the ground and your out. but, if you spew into your cup and drink it, you stay in.
now onto the stuff we actually did during the workout.
WARMUP: talk about basketball, run around the field twice, decide if the grass is too wet to stay here for the workout THE THANG: 4 corners on the field twice, with a bunch of different exercises. chicken wing needed the form auditors to check if he was doing wide-arm merkins when diamonds were called.
moved on to the gazebo for 7’s with merkins and jump squats. then some rock work while we watched a truck pull into the cemetary to dig up a body (a true dead lift). headed back to the parking lot for a lil bit o …
MARY: Yup, she made an appearance
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF, if you don’t want to run just stick around for Kid Rock cooking on the flat top the whole time.
COT: Orange Whip took us out
