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)

MOLESKIN:
A late lightning Omaha moved the workout from Phelps’ front yard to the Burleson parking garage and YHC volunteered to take the Q since Phelps was homebound. YHC limped his way to the garage with an achilles injury and awaited AlrightAlright who texted at 5:25 that he was en route coming in hot from FPH via Phelps front yard. Sound Machine also via Phelps front yard, came in Tokyo sliding. AA & the Subaru mafia were smart and parked in the garage. We started a little late and YHC brought out the AA special workout with no running and plenty of bear crawls since his achilles began giving him fits after KTT last week. Mumblechatter was varied and I spent some quality time on the ramps with Jennay!
Proud of the men that braved the parking garage this am! We must have forgotten that lightning is a good excuse to fartsack!

Moleskin:
I wanted to do something different this morning. SO starting with the normal “template” of a workout, I started over. Warm-up with no Side Straddle Hops created a little mumblechatter as we moved to the field. There wasn’t as much interaction between the group as a whole, but there were in essence 3 groups each I’m sure. In my group, it was mainly Chairman, Sauce and me… I got a “Fuck You Rump” out of both of them, which I’m considering a win! I wasn’t sure if we would get done with two rounds and have time left or not. It looks like not. I think this would be more fun with a larger group and maybe add some running.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out. Extolled the virtues of Shield Lock groups and gave some other inspiring soliloquy that would have gotten an eyeroll or two from Icebox if he was in attendance. PAX bolted quickly to grab Bubba’s before many returned for the 2.0 workout.
MOLESKIN:
Mumblechatter was varied. There was a ‘new and improved’ (???) Rump Roast present. While he did refer to YHC several times as Cadre Oatmeal for the GrowRuck approach to the workout, I never got an ‘F*** You,’ only a “This is great, we should do more workouts like this again!’ This almost caused YHC to grab his block and go home in disgrace and shame. Overall some complaints, but the PAX were resilient and showed great toughness.

Mosey over to the hill for 10 more sprints, this time up the hill with another Mary break after 5
Mosey back to the parking lot for some backwards sprints, then a shuffle sprint and karaoke sprint
Mosey back to the start where the burpee rule was in effect so 6 burpees. Then finished up the workout with Gorilla Squats x12 and OH Claps x12

Did the following exercises throughout the workout:
Uptown crunch x12, Rosalita x12, Rugby situps x12,
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC talked about what the CoT means and encourage PAX to be vulnerable with each other to help keep each other accountable. YHC shared his recent struggles with his M and taking her for granted/harboring resentment lately. Good input from several PAX from improving communication, keeping the word Grace in mind, and trying to do little things for the M (giving gifts/cookies, doing the dishes). Much appreciated men!
MOLESKIN:
YHC planned on doing some running after Slippy’s brutal tabata workout yesterday that only involved about .5 miles of movement. YHC showed up a few minutes early to get a lay of the land and find good sprinting spots. Classified saw this and assumed that YHC was looking for a portapotty (a smart assumption).
The PAX were none to thrilled about the sprints. Slippy had a blowout after about sprint 4 and went to the non-mobile workout for the rest of the workout. Rump Roast 2.0 was out in full force and full of positivity. Sauce pointed out multiple times that “we’ve already done these” as we returned back to prior stops for the workout. We discovered Classified has quite the backpedaling speed and may have been misused during his gridiron glory days as a lineman when he should have been a corner.
Slightly less mumblechatter than normal, which YHC attributes to the PAX sucking wind and having almost constant movement. YHC will definitely continue to incorporate sprints and pullups in future Qs.

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

I was a little disappointed to only see 2 other PAX but, confessed to them both in the CoT that if they wouldn’t have shown up, I WOULD have gone back home so T-Claps to Classified and Sound Machine! Know that getting out of bed and showing up today undoubtedly made me better today!
From not starting with SSH’s to promptly leaving Germany Park, I wanted today’s beatdown to be different and I need to focus on my lower body strength. The warm-up and curb crawl didn’t eat up as much time as I had anticipated.

While I may never be an Army Ranger… I AM one meat slingin’ son of a beep test! 11 men joined me this morning to explore the AO, Shops at Park Lane. The parking was nice and easy at 0524; we all meet up in front of the Starbucks. F150 waits to tell me last night at 930pm that his CG insider advised him they could be back on the property… Good news right, then he tells me they HAD to get permission. So I’m a little freaked we may get the boot. The warm-up was just long enough for the security guard to get bored watching us and for Alright Alright to start moanin’ and groanin’ about us staying in one place for our entire 1st workout. Also, some friendly debate about YHC’s arms not hurting because I didn’t do the Murph yesterday. to which I replied that it was voluntary and I didn’t want to do it. I stand my ground, I’m grown and don’t have to do it!
We then moseyed down to the stairs for an elevated learning session. I’ll be working on the Beef 101 class throughout the summer to get it just right. We started with B.O.M.B.S which for time, I Omaha’d into BOMB. It quickly drew a few mean mugs and side-eyes, along with some mumbles which I took as a good sign. At the top of the stairs, you could see the CG crew in the Whole Paycheck parking lot. Noticing we were getting short on time I called it, as I was realizing bombs took way too long. I skipped Elevens altogether and sort of combined them it Elevated Lazy Dora. Also drawing moans and groans from the crowd. Again we cut it a little short to head back for “Free time”… I had a planned surprise but the drone pilot I found out later fell asleep. Before I could call the exercises some of the crew decide to just sit down and chill. AA was keen enough to point it out so we all did 10x burpees. I got lots of feedback that this was a good one and I know I was smoked. I expect to see each and every one of you men/leaders take some time to Q at this new spot! There are tons of places to see
Back at the launch, we used some benches to pull off a quick Dirty McDuce knock-off, some Mary, and called it a day

MOLESKIN:
YHC was very torn on what to do for his first SCT posting and Q, and after some discussion with other PAX, YHC decided to go back to the TID crowd pleaser of a parking deck suicide with some bear crawling (which was promised in the preblast, not beers. Reading is tough eh Special Sauce?)
The PAX enjoyed the spelling of the warmup exercises, but did not enjoy the next phase. Several PAX jokingly asked if we were doing the TID suicide again and when YHC informed them that yes, we were, quite a few four letter words similar to the word spelled by the warmups were uttered. It’s always a crowd pleaser. YHC even got an “EAD” from Rump, which YHC thinks is at the top of the Rump scale, above the F bombs.
The bear crawling was also a crowd pleaser, but everyone finished in time to mosey back to the park. We took the poop stairs back which led several jokes of bear crawling, crawl bearing, crab walking, and walk crabbing those stairs, so now YHC has ideas for his next 2CT Q.
Some good 2ndF after the beatdown as Slippy humble bragged about being an Hawaii expert and gave YHC his recommendations. Some Band discussion about the length of running during the workout, with some apps showing about 1.5 and Alright Alright’s showing over 3. We agreed it was closer to 1.5
