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 [...]

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 [...]

The Sun Does Shine…
...Though not in the gloom of the portico at SSCC this morning. I’ll explain the significance of the title at the end. Six pax and a tardy blackberry met in the gloom to better ourselves. Mumblechatter was at a minimum as we had serious work to do - 9 sets consisting of four exercises of [...]
Happy Birthday F3 SSI
Happy Birthday F3 SSI and Happy Mardi Gras to those of you scoring at home. **Les Bone Temps Rouler** It was a brisk 47 out but despite the fact there was rain all around us, there was none at SSCC - coincidence?? 14 HIM came out to gulp down the DRP, so we got after [...]

Mucho pain
For the second day in a row, three pax met in the gloom. I’m becoming convinced that skipping workouts is a really lame attempt for some pax to pad their starting weight before weigh in for the weight loss challenge. Their loss - we took the DRP and got after it this am. Shoutout to [...]
