Backblasts
He is (almost) Risen!
15 Pax showed for a pre-Easter egg hunt/beatdown. Warm-up: 12 Don Quixote The Thang: A series of about 40 exercises, including a Dora 1/2/3 with granite. At COT, I read an excerpt from a Max Lucado book called 'He Chose the Nails'.
We got Jacked this morning.
We started the morning in a frenzy because our almighty Q @heehaw1 chose to fartsack. He says it was worth it, and we may agree, but today's Q got everyone JACKED, especially @loveseat. YHC was overwhelmed with the 15 who showed up expecting @heehaw1. I have never had that many in attendance, personally. Maybe more people show [...]
Side Straddle Hops
Great workout with great men. Light warm-up of baby arm circles, squats, 55 side straddle hops (4 count), and 20 Merkins (4 count).

Death March, Death Crawl
4 brave pax met in the cool (but thankfully relatively dry) April gloom. No weights needed for this Ironman workout, nor would there be any running. Just a body weight beatdown. Warmup - SSH, imperial walkers, weed pickers, ranger merkins We started with the hardest thing. The Death March - 1 lunge to 4 squat [...]
The Chelsea.
Why name a workout after a woman? Anything that leaves you on your back, panting for air, confused as to why you came, and utterly destroyed deserves a female name. We had a good number of pax come out to our pier aoq this morning. I didn’t do a fancy video like @heehaw or [...]
Respect thou Elders
I took over Milkbones Q late last night, so decided to use the bulk of one of my previous Ironman Q's, A. because I am lazy and B. because last time it hurt. The weather was great, and there was minimal chatter, other than Loveseats constant reminder of how the Elf on the Shelf inventor [...]
Absolution
6 pax met in the gloom this morning (though we did miss Bearded Millenial and Heehaw, who had made noise about coming this morning). We came to better ourselves, and what better way to begin the week then to seek absolution for our misdeeds. This workout was a trial by fire, at least for our [...]
