Some workouts just have so many 1-liners that you really can’t name all of them…but the title of this BB is one of them! Why? You Ask. Well, it’s because one of the coupons of pain YHC brought today was literally a bag filled to the brim with wrenches. See…awhile back, Shamwow came up with this 5 week challenge of who could Q the best beatdown at Disney. 5 Spots were taken fast, 1 by YHC. The workouts so far have been tough and all have taken a different angle on how to deal out the pain in some unique ways. So I knew YHC had to cook up something a little special today. So my fellow PAX helped me clean out my garage of various heavy coupons for a beat down on the big field at Disney. We put this stuff to great use today! YHC got to the AO very early because I had no idea how long it would take to unload and set this stuff up in the field of darkness. But…it was my pleasure to put in extra effort today to cook up something special.
EC: A 4 mile route run by Dahmer, Full House, Shamwow!, Nemo, and YHC.
FNG’s: None…but they really missed out.
Warm Up: Quick mosey around the parking lot and then a circle up for Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Seal Claps, Hillbillies, Overhead Claps, Windmills, Frankenstein’s, standard Merkins x12, Prisoner Squats x12…and off to the field.
The Workout: On the field the Pax would find stations, each with a coupon. Some larger than others…some very large. We would rotate through these stations doing AMRAP exercises while the “timer” PAX performed heavy bag flips from 1 cone to another and back again. That’s 1 station. Stations were:
100 lb. heavy back flips about 40 yards and back.
18 lb. kettlebell figure 8’s
15 lb. single arm shoulder press with garden block
30 lb. bag of wrenches deadlift
Recover on the fire house carry (2-3 passes of 40 yards)
25 lb. dumbbell curls for the girls
25 lb. dumbbell wonderbras
5 lb. dumbbells in each hand fast 1-2’s
25 lb. kettlebell swings
100 lb. heavy back chain drag about 40 yards and back
A few others used a large rainbow painted rock (thanks my 2.0 Julia) and a jump rope that were there for extra playing.
We completed two full rotations through all stations.
Mary: WW2 x30, Box Cutters x15, H2M x15, WW1’s x30. 5 last Good Mornings to stretch it out.
Announcements: Donate to Momma’s House Thanksgiving Meal Fund through PayPal. Thursday night hygiene product ruck. Check Slack and either Breach or Sprinkler for details.
T-Claps (Recognition): Big Perm…second post in a row. POTS for showing us the way by lifting and carrying the heavy back (instead of dragging). Nemo for showing on-time to EC.
Prayer: Pray for 187’s M and health issues. Full House took us out! Honor to lead men. Thanks for playing today.
Dirty Dozen for Momas House Of Thrift Food Ruck
/in NeedMore Ruck/by SprinklerIt was good to pull into the park to see so many guys getting all the food and backpacks ready for the Ruck. It was truly an honor to lead this PAX there and back.
FNG: None
Warm Up: The Ruck
The Workout: This was a Ruck for a great cause. Had a lot of texts and commitments long before Sunday morning. It was an Awesome 8.5 miles with great mumblechatter along the way. We hit Dunkin after the food drop off and enjoyed donuts & coffee before heading back to Hilltop NeedMore Park. Thank you all for the food and donations. Dumbo told me we have raised $848.26 as of today. I still think we have a few that have cash as well. Way to Be PAX!!
Mary: None
Announcements: Sign up for Q sheets
T-Claps(Recognition): All of you who donated time and money for Momas House of Thrift so families in our area can have a hot meal Thanksgiving Day!!!!
Prayer: YHC took us out!
Q By Committee at TBD
/in AO Post, To Be Determined/by Fanny PackWith no taker to the Q Sheet at TBD, YHC grabbed the Q with the intent of helping other fellow PAX step up and lead anyway by directing the workout. They did a fine job! A return of a Kotter in Big Perm came down to Womble this morning ready to work. Took him a few minutes to remember the lingo…but then he jumped right in leading series of counts like a pro. Welcome back to the Gloom…Big Perm!
FNG’s: None
Warm Up: All pax called out various exercises including SSH x40, Good Mornings, Windmills, Frankenstein’s, Fazio Arm Circles, Imperial Walkers.
The Workout: Asked Big Perm a question, “Run or Rocks?” Run it was. We ran up to the ball fields area and circled up for PAX choice exercises. 25 count merkins, 25 count squats. Continued on. PAX then called 20 burpees (much to discontented grumbles) and 20 Squat Jumps. Asked PAX if we want to “run or wall?” Wall it was. 20 count each pax People’s Chair, 15 count each pax BTTW. We moseyed on. Next exercises were IC Mountain Climbers and Shoulder Taps. Continued the mosey to the other parking lot. I will say, the roughness of this parking lot might be a close second to that of Possum Trot as we found. YHC asked a pax, “run or rock”. This time, it was rock, so we performed a rock circle of various exercises with and without rocks with various counts that included: Shoulder Press, LBC’s, LSF’s, Boat Canoes, American Hammers, Curls for the Girls, Bus Drivers, Tricep Extensions, Rock Spanks, Rut Rows, Ground Pounders. These exercises were all devised by the PAX, including a break from format by Oboe, who called a lengthy rock push/lunge walk series. Beware of giving others power…
Rock return and mosey to ball fields sidewalks again for a circle of more SSH. The question wall or run was answered with run. So let’s run back to Mary.
Mary: Pax called exercises of: H2M, Pickle Pounders, Peter Parkers, LBC’s, and BB Sit-ups.
Announcements: Hygiene Ruck by Breach, Thursday evening…check Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition): Big Perm for the mighty return. All the PAX for giving us all a solid workout!
Prayer: 187 and his M…for strength and restoration/healing. YHC took us out. Honor to lead, honor to be led!

M – 10 mountain climbers IC

S — 10 squats
PAX made a total of 5 laps (10 stops). The PAX at the front of the Indian Run line when you arrive at the stop leads all the exercises at that stop.

T-Claps (Recognition): All PAX that volunteered at HSFC this past weekend. Quote from HSFC “There are volunteers and then there are VOLUNTEERS!”
Prayer: 187, Nemo
Message this morning was to consider what kind of leader you are. Do you try to get ahead by cutting corners, often robbing those who follow you of the opportunity for ‘good form’? If those around you are struggling, will you take over or offer a hand? Will you run too fast and too far ahead so those behind you can’t follow?
It’s always an honor to lead you men. I’ll try to do better next time.

Crazy Ivan & 27 Years of Bliss
/in Crazy Ivan/by DauberFNGs: None
Warm Up: Saw that Crazy Ivan was open on the Q sheet and ventured back to an ol’ friend. Pre-blast mentioned heavy weights, kettle bells, running and the number 27. My wife an I were celebrating our anniversary. More to come. 30 SSH, 10 Sir fazios, 10 OH claps, 10 seal claps, windmills, good am and 7 burpees OYO; mosey through bottom parking deck to the chagrin of Pumpkin Spice.
The Workout: PAX partnered up. One PAX farmer carried two 50lb dumbbells (complements of Popinski) and walked 27 steps. PAX dropped bells and ran back to his partner requesting help (similar things happen with our spouses, e.g. car breaks down, flat tire, etc). While the farmer’s carry was happening, Other PAX were engaged in 10-27 count exercises that included swings, tricep curls, upward rows, halos, figure 8s, lawn mowers, ground pounders, bend over squats. Once everyone had a chance to Farmer Cary, YHC threw out a trip to the store for some milk. One PAX of the two-man team ran up & down the stairs and then around the building. More kettlebell exercises including plank slaps, soccer bells, squats, etc. Emeril and Dawgpound helped out lead exercises when YHC Was taking a trip to the store. Balls to the walls for a 27 count followed by 4 quick burpees OYO. I asked the PAX if they got eggs at the store. Nope. We all have heard that before, right? Back to the store running around the building. During the workout, I asked each PAX to learn three things about his wife/girlfriend. (exception with Hardy). Their new info would be shared later. From our six, we did more kettlebells including nipplers, straight arm curls and 6 inches. Midget love handles, upright rows, and overhead from our knees.
Mary: held various plank and Superman positions learning three things new about each PAX member’s wife/girlfriend. YHC shared some marital bliss thoughts/input with FloJo adding to my soapbox. Finished with some stretching over good mumble chatter about working at your marriage. Love language book. Great read. Communication a must.
