Poorly Hung

Poorly Hung

Date: 2025-06-25 AO: wamrap Q: Orange Whip PAX: Mile High, Alf, O’Tannenbaum, Orange Whip, poptart, Ledbetter, Elderly Woman Behind a the Counter in a Small Town FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Really just a horrible morning. So I decided to lean in and make it more horrible-er
Went into the stairwell inferno to the rooftop where we did: – Dragonfly’s – Tarantulas – Wal Tar Jai – Turkish Getups – Burpees – Dry docks
Started at sets of 5 and somehow we got to the sets of 30. I was flaming out bad and Alf kept pushing in the lead. He must be taking those Frank Thomas pills that help you keep your energy past 50…don’t forget his tagline at the end of those old commercials: “she’ll love it too”
We had a guy who had been an FNG 3 times. He can’t remember his name so we’ve gotta give him something really bad. Alf is was going with horse names and that’s where Poorly Hung came from but we have to follow the rule that you must be able to tell your kids what your name is and what it means. I’d say we go ahead and name him Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small town. It’s hard to say and it’s funny.
Other things said and wondered:
1. Would a horse with a micro-penis have a bigger penis than an average man 2. Did you know the Terminator movie shows Arnold’s? 3. If you work out mostly with men, chances are you will I’ll be looped into a conversation like this one
OT was sipping drinks last night and still showed up without complaining. Pop Tarts hair is getting long. Mile High always joins us and crushes it when not 30k feet.
Ledbetter takes us VQ next week. Come see it!

Benny this sucks

Date: 2025-06-24 AO: fast-twitch Q: Benny PAX: Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), Alf, Mr Brady, Cheese Curd, retread FNGs: None COUNT: 6 WARMUP: After a proper veteran disclaimer then typical mr. brady giving grief for launching at 5:16(workout starts at 5:15) of we went to YHCs really dumb idea starting at windbluff. Quick cop of IWs before the main event started. THE THANG: It’s BRR season so pretty simple run down the first speedbump on windbluff then run all the way up to the top. Then do 10 merkins. Then do the same thing but this time go to a Fast Twtich classic Smokerise Hill but this one all the way to the culdesac(many complains were given there) then when you’re back by windbluff do 10 more merkins. Rinse and repeat till 6:05 many more complaints given after by Cheese Curd and I’m pretty sure Alf said multiple times(Benny this sucks, granted I take that as a complement).Mlles ranged from 4 to 6 pending on everyones pace. MARY: None ANNOUNCEMENTS: Reach out to those we haven’t seen in awhile, Mr. Brady on q next week. COT: Astro with the takeout

Round four

Date: 2025-06-24 AO: run Q: frasier PAX: citgo, fleetwood, flipper, Franky, gumbo, Gutter Guard, Mistake, soft_pretzel, fire_hazard, teddyf3, Wolverine FNGs: None COUNT: 12 WARMUP: once again, dead elite athlete, warm-up. THE THANG: this was round four. Last week was the hardest week and this was the second hardest. Pretty simple. Run up nine minutes as far as you can get and run down eight trying to get as close to the start as possible. We did this twice with five minutes of rest in between. MARY: ANNOUNCEMENTS: really appreciate everyone showing up each week. We had great attendance and a lot of guys made it every week. I hope you can see the improvement you made even within a month of running three minutes. Uphill to now doing nine minutes. The grade of the hill and the temperature made this very challenging. Impressive to see everyone out there pushing themselves. COT:

Great start to the day!

Excess Recovery

Date: 2025-06-23 AO: swole Q: flipper PAX: Unplugged, Uncle Leo, flipper, voodoo, Kodak, Emoji, ickey_shuffle FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Good to see Kodak back, though after learning of 2 other Kodaks in A51 we renamed to Kodak. ickey_shuffle came back, and Emoji survived bees invading his tailgate. voodoo returned from his globe trotting ways while the stretch brothers got there early in order to make the rest of us look like immobile slobs
WARMUP: Synovials, Flippers Heavy Bell Circuit, prying squat THE THANG: the spreadsheet called for E2MOM 5 snatches by 12… we threw in 8 belkins since 120 seconds was excessive recovery. Quick two hand EMOM of swing, high pull, clean, squat, press w/ increase of reps every minute MARY: boat canoe, flute bridge, elbow plank ANNOUNCEMENTS: horsey half COT: YHC took us out

Is this your parent’s playlist?

Date: 2025-06-23 AO: firestarter Q: Starch PAX: Hawkeye, madison, Point Break, war_eagle, wildturkey, Maestro, Melons FNGs: None COUNT: 8 WARMUP: What a morning. It was a tough out there with the heat and humidity, but 8 of us put in good work and had some decent mumblechatter along the way. Be sure to stay hydrated out there – it’s only getting hotter, and we have a lot of CSAUPs on the horizon.
It was great to have a guest, Maestro, who’s in town for a relative’s graduation.
Started with a mosey to the stairs and a quick warm up of SSH Imperial Walkers Merkins Runners stretch Mountain climbers
THE THANG: Partner up – 1 partner runs the stairs while the other does a workout. 3 rounds of: Wall sit Plank American Hammers and Flutters
We lost madison at this point to a tweaked calf, but he stuck around to ice it and put in some work. Heal up man!
Did 2 rounds of the following at the playground. We did a lap around the Jeni’s loop after each functional area:
Chest/tricep – 15 reps each – Derkins – Dips – Merkins – Carolina Dry docks
Legs – 20 reps each or 10 each leg – Split squats – Lunges – Squats – Step ups
Abs – 20 reps each – Heels to Heaven – American hammers – LBCs – Flutter kicks
Hawkeye appreciated the playlist (mostly 70s and 80s rock) and showed us the inverted plank. I’ll be using that in a future Q
madison kept it up with some Mary while elevating and I ont his calf. Man’s a beast.
Maestro shows up after being up a lot of the night with his 4-year-old. Mad respect for him posting
Was great to meet Melons this morning. I need to hear the story about that name sometime soon.
Point Break out in the work and was really quick on the laps. Always good to see you
war_eagle showed up a tad late, but he found us pretty quickly once we started our stair work. Glad you found us
wildturkey kept anticipating what was next and got it mostly right. He added in some burpees to get back up to speed after his Scottish adventures.
MARY: With 5 minutes on the clock, we stretched it out and wrapped up with a 47 second wall sit
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Horsey 1/2 marathon Mountain Rumble Ultra 5k
COT: Pray for peace in our lives and in the world.

Benny Hill to Old Spice

Date: 2025-06-20 AO: mountain-goat Q: Insomniac PAX: Watchita, Spammer, Pele, slim_fast, mallcop, jello, sledge, fleetwood, drano, Insomniac, gullah, Preston (Swiftie) FNGs: 1 Preston (Swiftie) COUNT: 12 WARMUP: Having given up on my latest attempt at a “Virtual Q”, yhc led a rowdy but able crowd into the gloom at Rounding Run Nexus. After some shin/calf stretches, opening and closing of gates, and a few toy soldiers, the raging throng was unleashed upon the sleepy nooks of Downs Grant. THE THANG: Run hard (~70%) up Benny Hill, then recover down and around Old Spice loop. Repeat amrap. Despite the cryptic and coded directions rendered by the recently conscious Q, @Slimfast didn’t let his orientation get in the way of leading a threesome (incl. @Wachita and fleetwood) out of the nether regions. Turns out Old Spice loop isn’t as flat as memory would have it, so the recovery ended up being fairly rigorous. Spammer was content to modify as needed. MARY: So, who is this girl, “Mary”? ANNOUNCEMENTS: If you gave blood, you probably know it by now; if you missed it, don’t worry, as there will surely be more opportunities to drip some life for someone else. It was good to see drano again, as well as @wachita and his trademark prance 2 weeks in a row! COT: sledge led us to the Creator with all due gratitude and humidity… I mean humility. Consumption of coffee commenced.

Just a terribly hot day. No relief. 2 separate water breaks which is unprecedented.
Shirts team scored 2 early goals then pinnies took over for the remainder of the morning.
King was unstoppable in the back.

Never to be seen and a FNG

Date: 2025-06-23 AO: dmz Q: Cheese Curd PAX: Cheese Curd, Bumper Sticker FNGs: 1 Bumper Sticker COUNT: 8 To be fair, I wasn’t the Q. But the metro guys won’t do a bb and most aren’t on A51 slack
