Solitary Confinement

One warden was overthrown by the prisoners in the yard and stuck in solitary confinement

A Tabata workout allowed me to get out on good behavior to go join the Nest’s COT.

Make it a great one!

The Q Makes The Rules

/in /by

32 PAX took the field and immediately felt the difference—this wasn’t standard Ultimate, it was controlled chaos with purpose. With three scoring zones per team, the game forced constant decision-making: grind for the safe 1-point end zone, thread a tight throw into the 2-point bonus box, or take a high-risk shot at the 3-point corner. Early on, teams played conservative, but as momentum shifted, players started stretching the field, launching deep shots and cutting aggressively to the corners.

Communication became everything—sidelines were loud, calling out zone opportunities and defensive switches as handlers scanned for mismatches. By the midpoint, legs were heavy but intensity stayed high, with several clutch 3-point conversions swinging the score dramatically. What stood out most was the adaptability—guys adjusted on the fly, spacing improved, and trust in throws grew as the game went on. In the end, it wasn’t just about athleticism; it was about awareness, timing, and taking calculated risks under pressure, and every player walked off knowing they’d been part of something fast, competitive, and a step above the usual pickup run.

The game was a close one but the score keeping team prevailed.

Cletus – Four corners

/in /by

7 Cletus PAX endured 400+ reps in a four corners workout that included legs, arms, core, and other fun exercises. We even (unfortunately) had time to do Motivators™️ at the end. Don’t know what those are? I hope you get to find out soon!

Coffeteria with the Crazy Ivan crew afterwards was a great time. Thanks for bringing that, BnB!

Well done, men!

Game Night

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: Lapped the soccer field with stops at the corners: SSH and good mornings, squats and worlds greatest stretch, merkins, step-ups and preachers chair

The Workout:

Thang 1:

4 minute blocks, each pax works at their own pace on a descending ladder until time is called.

Round 1) 30-20-10-5 merkins, with a sprint to the end after completing each set

Round 2) 30-25-20-15-10-5 SSH with a bear crawl after each set

Round 3) 30-25-20-15-10-5 Freddie mercuries with 10 Star jumps

Round 4) by request from Ka-chow, 12-10-8-6-4-2 burpees with a karaoke break

Thang 2: pax gathered in a plank circle to draw uno cards in a rotating fashion. Draw-er of the card had to complete the number of merkins that corresponded with the number drawn while everyone else held a plank.
Skips and reverse as expected, draw two doubled the number of merkins for your next card, wild was 20 merkins.

Goal to be the last man standing, knees touch the ground and you’re out.

Blue crush put us all to shame by ending the game with 40 merkins following a draw two+wild combo card draw.

Thang 3: dodgeball on the tennis court with a 5 burpee buy-in

Warm Up: some mosey, stretching, SSH, merkins

The Workout: jogged to the library for warm-o-rama. Easily knocked out the mission statement and five core principles, then ran past a tree with such a sense of purpose that it got scared and just fell over.

Partner Dora- team goal of 100 burpees, 200 merkins, 300 Mtn climbers. One partner works on the man goal, other is a rotator. 
Rotator exercises- jog across the back lot, pick a coupon of adequate size, 10 thrusters, 10 curls for the girls, 10 lunges

Dora was almost done, but time was running out, so we moved on to thang 2 after the first group finished the Dora (@bestinshow and @batboy)

Thang 2: 

Group hill suicides. Group one runs to a designated mailbox and back on library hill, group two holds an exercise until the 6 is in.

3 rounds:

Round 1- second mailbox, plank hold
