Nine strong took to the pavement to enjoy the spoils of the closing session of this rainbow spreadsheet. Great to see Frehleys back swinging with us and always a pleasure to have Unplugged join us on the weekend. The Worm was back in action with some good tales from his travels and Beaver bravely joined us for his 2nd Olympus beatdown. The usual suspects, including Ickey, Flipper, MARTA, Wabbit, and YHC, rounded out the crew for a solid pump.

Resurrection of Puddin from the Ashes

Warm up around the parking lot, then suicide tree Merkin ladder thingy. Stop by my truck to get a half roll of fire hose and we carried down to playground. Two Pax at each playground, while someone drags hose back and forth. Everyone got 3 turns. Next up we ran up stadium steps to parking lot 3 times. At each end 10 supines and 10 air squats. Finish at the lot with some core exercises. Notable takeaway: – Puddin really, really, really despises Third Eye Blind. Some much his ashes would rise up like the liquid Terminator to kill off the band

High speed mall or Maul walking
Date: 2024-07-24 AO: the-maul Q: das_boot PAX: patent_pending, Rudy, Odd Job, das_boot FNGs: None COUNT: 4 YHC was feeling inspired by things seen on social media lately and worked in the Murderhorn (in-laws are currently in the beautiful land of Zermatt) but the fan favorite was the introduction of race walking, a keen Olympic sport. It’s no joke and we still have no clue how the British Olympian Tom Bosworth lays down a 5:31 mile walking, but he’s flying. None of the PAX achieved that this morning.
Other fun things included the goofball, squats and rock work. Good times with the men of SOB and catching up, checking on injuries, moves and smart kids. We briefly lost one PAX to nature’s call but he swiftly returned — hopefully the recent rains cleared and signs of his detour. 💩

Powered by Redbull, McDonalds, Starbucks and gas fumes
Date: 2024-07-26 AO: kevlar Q: Cheese Curd PAX: Orange Whip, Focker, Bananas, Erin Brokavich, Horsehead, lex_luthor, Limey FNGs: None COUNT: 8 Orange Whip tapped me earlier in the week and asked if I could Q. I mentioned that I was coming home from a road trip to Cedar Point Amusement park and I’d let him know. Based on the radio silence from that last correspondence, i felt compelled to show up. So we departed OH about 5pm last night and rolled into the garage at 1:40 this am. With 9 hrs to think about my Q, we were ready to roll at 5:30
WARMUP: Run around the track/ covered the basics: SSH / IW and merkin w/ runners stretch
THE THANG: -10 burpees followed by 1 lap -10 burpees, 20 diamonds, 1 lap -10 burpees, 20 widearm, 30 LBC, 1 lap -10 burpees, 20 offset merkins, 30 V-Up, 40 sumo squats, 1 lap -10 burpees, 20 merkins, 30 heels to heaven, 40 monkey humpers and 50 star jump Squats and 1 lap.
In reality, we actually always started with the new exercise (so 50, 40, 30, 20, 10) and counted down, I am just too tired and lazy to rewrite it.
Run over to the hill for Triple Nickel: Dive bomb merkins at the top/ Calf raises at the bottom and backward run up the hill
Run over to the playground Spread out and do the following: 10 pull ups, 20 dips, 30 swing-set legs to chest, 40 set ups x2 rounds
Run back to the parking lot and DONE
MARY: plenty of abs to catch our breath, wait on the 6, and kill the clock
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bro Olympics on Sat. Rock is on, Stonehenge is closed, unsure about DaVinci
COT: thanks OW for having me Q. Needed the jumpstart. -good to see Bananas after a successful heart surgery -focker abandoned his Joust crew to see if I would show up after my long drive -Ow and Lex felt the need to get a few miles in before the workout, nice job!! -Horsehead was quiet today, although I heard a few jabs, alway makes me laugh -Erin Brockovich quietly complained about the number of step ups. I can’t say I blame him -Limey loves old cotton tee shirts for his gloom beatdown. Nothing breaths better than thick cotton on a humid day As for myself, I am tired. Went to bed about 2 am. No work for me today, so when I hit send… good night!
And one last thing, I know that I ate like crap for the past 2 days and had nothing but energy drink, coffe and McDonalds to create some awful gas. Not sure the diet of the other pax, but it was spicy today!
Have a good day and a good weekend!
