PowPow Siesta AlrightAlright Dirtbag Meatball sound machine Dirtbag’s Brother from Another Mother (FNG) joined YHC for the unveiling of Lindsley Ladders
Dirtbag knew it was serious when we walked over to the park together (safety in numbers) when I didn’t have the speaker
After a quick warmup we went to the corner of Lindsley and Tenison Memorial and did a Lindsley Ladder, run up one block for 50 merkins, run back one block for 10 LBC’s, then 40-20, 30-30, 20-40, and 10-50. YHC was accused of doing my best F150 impression and AlrightAlright fell behind Meatball’s Italian merkins and couldn’t recover from the deficits after the first 50 merkins. Might need to do this for time and make it a #benchmark
Then we went back to the corner of Lindsley and Tenison Memorial and did a suicide down Tenison Memorial, running to each house on the street and back, doing squats when we got back starting at 10 and increasing in increments of 10 until 40 where YHC called #omaha and we went to the trail
At the trail we did two full rounds of baton death marches, with PAX needing to do two burpees before running to the front of the line
After that we went with a traditional Native American run back to the Lindsley Park pavilion and finished up with some core
Hope to see Dirtbag’s friend again for what should be a good naming (cough…Stepbrother…cough)

Dual QOTY for Retail Therapy
Hey Dirtbag hold my beer real quick…
Special Sauce Trash Panda Stingray Stingray Meatball Slushii Rump Roast Draper sound machine DFib Jobu Sex Panther Bleep Phelps (Tim) Noah “Don’t Call me Baby Shark” Phelps, Shifty McCoy, and Sally joined AlrightAlright and YHC for the first ever Dual QOTY beatdown
Warmup:
SSH, ISTs, Veggie Pickers
The Thang (alternating Q’s with every other song)
AlrightAlright took us up to rock out with our Camp Gladiator friends to flex our muscles and intimidate them with our EDM beats
Then I ran us to one of the parking decks and stopped us on an incline for some Mary to work on the lower core
AlrightAlright made us do some spider man push ups and and mountain climbers…Draper and other PAX showed some genuine concern about “just” holding a plank for a bit and were disappointed that planking was the exercise we were doing
OG Icebox Alert!
Listening to Baby Shark, SSH with burpees every time they said “Shark” (basically two minutes of burpees)
AlrightAlright ran us up to the top of the parking deck and had us doing bear crawl suicides
Because YHC is a sadist we followed that up with a few minutes of Arms by Mrs Icebox
AlrightAlright wasn’t done bear crawling so we had to bear crawl down a flight of stairs and followed that up with some irkins
YHC then went for a mosey to a different parking deck and was disappointed in the lack of hustle by the PAX so started to burpee, even more confusion by the PAX as I’ve never instituted the burpee rule during a Q which led to 21 burpees once the 6 was in (would’ve been 40 if AlrightAlright had been doing the burpees)
AlrightAlright took a page of of the DJ Icebox instruction manual and had us mosey to a big stairwell for Mony Mony dips (listening to Billy Idol’s Mony Mony, hold a back plank and do a dip every time they say “Mony”)…Jobu asked how many that was and I promised I’d do a real OG workout where I count out the number of reps for each song
AlrightAlright then took us back where we started to roll around and do merkins on ant hills (clearly his tolerance for ant bites is greater than his disdain for doing core exercises on concrete)
Someone must have said something because AlrightAlright used some words my playlist wasn’t allowed to use and made us run around Starbucks, taunting us with what we could be doing instead of working out
YHC then rocked out with 4 more minutes of Mary on the ant hills since we were already contaminated

Club Rehab for the Beach
#musclebeach #clubrehab #backblast
Dirtbag Meatball Special Sauce Ina Rump Roast Bleep Slushii sound machine Agnes Avril DFib joined YHC for some muscle beach meets club rehab action
I’m not going to lie, I just came up with all of that workout on the fly and I don’t have the it written down but here’s my best recollection of what we did
Warmup: the usual, SSHs, ISTs, hillbillies, veggie pickers, don quixote
YHC was having some challenges connecting to Bleep’s fancy blue tooth speaker (t claps Bleep for bringing!) Rump Roast was asked to get the workout started…he was a lil slow on the uptake so YHC quickly took the reigns back over…a lot of moaning during the veggie pickers and hillbillies, sounds like the PAX didn’t do any self care after TID18K
Mosey to the field with blocks
Because this was club rehab I prefaced the lap by saying if you didn’t have it in you to do SSHs, mountain climbers, or anything else to keep the body moving but turns out we’re a bunch of stubborn assholes and all ran a lap
Bicep block work of 21s, slow curls up, slow curls down, upright rows
Core block of jackknifes, LBCs, Freddy Mercury’s, uptown crunches, flutter kicks, box cutters, heels to heaven, rosalitas
Repeato the run, bicep, core
Repeato again, throw in some Pilate leg action, a few burpees, lil baby arm circles
Meatball called YHC out that we only ran 3 laps at 6:14 so I told him he had 60 seconds to get one more in, he did but a lot of other PAX tried to be hero’s and took considerably longer than 60 seconds and caused us to go over time by a few minutes
Seemed like a decent amount of mumblechatter throughout but YHC was counting a inordinate amount but hope y’all feel like you got some good core and will be beach ready in now time!

Luckily(?) for the PAX YHC and Dirtbag had talked about splitting up the Q last night so when Dirtbag KO’d himself during the EC run (possible delayed victim of murder bunny’ing up The Hill at Lindsley?) YHC was kinda sorta prepared.
Mumblechatter picked up in the second half when there was a lot less counting and we rocked out to SirusXM’s top 500 hip hop songs, I think we heard 478-465. Teasip went 2 for the first 10 on knowing the artist
I posed the question of what would happen if Rump Roast tried to use a speaker, interval timer, and dice during a workout and the consensus was that his head would explode
Thanks to the PAX for putting up with a half baked Q on a cold and wet day!

YHC was disappointed to not see the #subarucrew after I promised light jogging and mumblechatter
Dirtbag was second guessing his decision to come out this AM when the first thing I asked him was “what do you want to do today”, admittedly YHC spent more time on building a playlist than thinking about the beatdown
Was a small intimate crowd, like when I used to spin acoustic covers at Glencoe back in the day but we got after it hard in the gloom
The ground had some frost on it so I announced at the start that we won’t be messing with that nonsense. F150 said that he wished Teasip would’ve been so observant yesterday
Not a lot of mumblechatter as we kept moving from spot to spot quickly to stay warm, solid full body workout
T claps to Big Tex who slayed the workout leading the PAX in just about every exercise we did today!
Announcements: CSAUPs are coming
Frosty Double Time
Swiper Michael Ryan and Slippy joined YHC for a frosty double time run this AM
The above mentioned, more athletic PAX cruised at a sub 8 minute pace and left me in their dust. So similarly to MRM I was alone but still managed to complete the loop twice before 0615
Mumblechatter was going strong after the run but a suspicious looking vehicle came in hot into the parking lot and beached themselves a few feet away from us so we called it a day
HBD Oatmeal!
Q of the Year Semifinal 1 – Old Fashioned Cage Match
AlrightAlright Aaarrrggghhh sound machine Meatball Oatmeal PowPow Rump Roast Slushii Special Sauce Stingray joined Teasip and YHC for the QOTY Semi Final Cage Match

Carolina Dry Docks, then suicide

All in
YHC’s Beatdown:
Suicide long to short – suicide short to long
Bear crawl court one, 10 merkins
Crawl bear back, 10 mountain climbers
5 burpees, run down and back, 5 burpees
Mrs Icebox Arms – 2 min
Suicide short to long, long to short
Crab walk forward court one, 10 Freddy Mercury’s
Crab walk backward back, 10 flutter kicks
Pilate Plank Routine – 2 min
If there was mumble chatter I didn’t hear much of it as the socially distant lineup along the tennis courts didn’t allow for a lot of interaction among the PAX
Stingray fulfilled his prophecy of showing up late and having to do penalty burpees and t claps to Rump Roast for doing them with him when no one else did
AlrightAlright figured that the Beatdown was going to be mild and decided to wear his ruck vest during the whole thing, and on top of that called out the PAX on the crab walks for being slow (someone is still getting over his #upsetalert vs Teasip last week).
Apologies for needing to b line it out as soon as the clock struck 0615 but the Jeep was about to turn into a pumpkin and I had 10 minutes to get home before the M changed the locks on me!
YHC is humbled to make it to the finals and look forward to an all-timer against either Special Sauce or Coach K, let’s all find the motivation to fight the fart sack and deal with some colder temps, I can guarantee that the Q’s this week will get us up and moving quickly!
Reminder: see PowPow’s post on the food drive, if able try to find a way to contribute to those less fortunate
The Return of the Sweetest of Babies
AlrightAlright Sweet Baby PowPow joined YHC and Mav for this AM’s ruck
Swiper teamed up with Oatmeal for Double Time action
AA texted me while he was clearing the mechanism asking what the plan was for the ruck. Seemed like he was interested in accelerating his rucking/baby bjorn’ing skills so told him we’d do the don’t get lapped challenge
F150 also texted me this morning while he was clearing the mechanism, but that was about taking a picture, must have needed more time to clear since he didn’t make it to MRM
Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes Sweet Baby pulled up to MRM like it ain’t no thang, PowPow was so jazzed to see him that he ditched the jogging shoes for the ruck and combined forces with the Sweetest of Babies.
Oatmeal thought he was going to run alone a la the last two Stingray vision quest rucks but Swiper came in to give him some company
The runners did some hill work so the don’t get lapped challenge wasn’t as exciting
Ruckers split up into two groups, the idiots running with rucks and the non idiots normal rucking.
Everyone finished up with 5-10 minutes to spare so we did an AMRAP of 5 Special Sauce horizontal rope pull-ups (to be Lexicon’d later), 5 LBC’s, and 5 crab cakes
Mav was pretty pissed to be tied up during the AMRAP
Oatmeal led a great COT where the PAX opened up with prayer requests

Awesome morning today, Pepper was in the parkibg lot first so not sure if he spent the night in his car because the M kicked him out or not, but good to see him. I had a Ultra style burpee on burpee Jacob’s Ladder planned for after the core suicides but didnt get there, something to look forward to next time. Thank you F150 for inspiring me with the group of 4 tennis courts on Wednesday. T claps to Rump Roast for killing it this AM, i may have made a snide comment about him possibly dying when I saw him pull up 😉
Was good to do some core exercises again, won’t help with anything IPC related but might help me with my golf swing and at the end of the day I’d rather get back to shooting in the mid 80s than be able to complete 100 manmakers faster than some dude in SC
Good luck to all competing in the golf tournament tomorrow and T Claps to Ultra for organizing!
Trying to figure out how many more times I can reference golf since it’s driving F150 and Rump Roast nuts
Go Cubs, DJ Icebox out!
Free Therapy with MRM
Oatmeal joined YHC and Maverick for MRM
Went at a 16:07 pace, would’ve broken 16 min but dodged some cars that slowed us down
Thankful for some company this AM! Thought I’d be solo trying to compete against a Special Sauce Q
Oatmeal was kind enough to let me have a free therapy session, coversation wide ranging and many of the world’s problems have been solved. You’re welcome!
