14 joined YHC at Midoriyama on Tuesday. F3 Royalty was all over the place. There were some comments about what it means that these guys showed up for my Q. Let me just say…..I know I can be an A-hole/Smart-A, etc. Some of y’all be ackin like y’all don’t like it but I be seein ya(SA). Anyway it was my 1st “real” post in a month and my first “real” post at Midoriyama all summer. Having dang near died during a run the day before I knew it was time to step my game up and get back after it. I devised a workout that would push myself and hopefully others all the while keeping those batflippers moving.

Warmup:

Man I have missed the trash talking and even the whining a little(you know who you are). It was great to be out and actually be working out! A lot of rock pushers showed out today. I could see them all from back in the back where I was. Thanks to all for picking up the 6. This setup worked really well keeping everyone moving and everyone picking up the 6. It’s great that we don’t leave anyone behind but it’s even better when we all pick them up. We covered anywhere from 2.7 miles to the batflipping 3.4. Good work guy’s! See you Thursday for a Def Leppard concert.
Yes, fall is near. The temps are cooling and the PAX are starting to come out more. PrisonBreak, this morning, was a sign of that. As usual, Volt was on the course early. Hacksaw was spotted on the way into the AO. Gumby, Broke, and sparky are all in marathon training so they hit the route prior to check in. 0530 hits and no FNGs, so QIC heads out for a few miles. All PAX returned accounted for and miles were logged.
Nice break in the weather to start the week. Another strong turnout in the gloom. YHC borrowed a page out of Timeframe’s playbook. Simple but effective beat down, which went a little something like this.
Pledge
Warm up – SSH, Merkins, LBCs
Mosey to old HT parking lot; stopping briefly at the wall for some dips while Stinky Bird fetched some worms from the back lot
First series – mosey to loading dock, jump up, bear crawl down ramp, mosey to parking lot, perform 10 burpees

It was a great day at Folsom this morning. We celebrated Pearl Jam’s birthday by wearing silly birthday hats and enjoying our time together. Also an older gentleman and his dog just hung out with us for the work out. He was sitting there reading a book or magazine. I can not imagine what is going through his head as the mumble chatter was strong this morning especially with Allen Tate and Sister Act.

The Rubik’s cube today represented our lives for those of us that are Christians. We are all mixed up and not in order. We pray, repent, and ask for forgiveness and it is always provide. The time it takes for us to ask for forgiveness may vary, but we are always set anew if we repent. We then sin, get everything mix up again and repeat the cycle. We need to always continue to get better, be better and strive to be like Jesus. We will never achieve perfection, but we can not stop trying. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians , “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.”
John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
A special thanks goes to Windmill from F3 Burlington. He was a pleasure to meet and we hope to see him again next time that he is in town.

As those of us who have lived here all of our lives these low 60s low humidity mornings that feel like fall in late August are really just a “fake” to make us think the heat is over. Then – as usual we fry through late September. So with that in mind a determined set of men gathered at the Mt. Hollywood AO to get a little work in to start the week off right. It went like this:

NMM:
Nice, nice morning out there today! We had one coming our way after the last 90 or so. Everybody looked great and worked hard. Great to see a strong pax like this one was. Mt. Holly is just a nice place anyway. We need more of a presence up there.
Prayers up for those that work in the school system especially teachers and support staff. And of course the kids themselves. Hopefully everybody stays safe and learns a lot! We need for that to happen. And we are here to help. Let’s not forget that either guys!
Prayers up the Hamm family, guys on IR (even Dredd) and those we have not seen in awhile also. If you can get with one of our brothers who has been absent awhile reach out and do so. One guy I am thinking of is Wheezy. Know he is dealing with some things and has told me he would like ot get back out. Let’s help make that happen. Be good for all of us.
Until next time, honor and a pleasure to lead this crowd.

So as most people that know me will tell you I detest being on a computer, thus my slackness on getting back blasts posted in a timely manner. It is something that I am working on, but thanks to Huckleberry I am gonna do this one now. Also, somewhere in the mix I misplaced my workout so I am gonna try this from memory lol.
Warm-up
SSH x 15 IC
LBC x 20 IC
Merkins x 10 IC
Stations: AMRAP 1 minute timer
Swings, Merkins, Renegade Rows, Flutters, Peoples Press, Goblet squats
We did this for around two rounds and did some lateral lunges down to the light pole and then did 5 burpees, lateral lunge back and repeated. We finished up with some Mary and called it a day.

SSH’s – 23 IC (no idea why)
Squats – 20 IC
Flutters (I think) – a number IC
YHC is tired from all of that 1/2 mile I put in as EC arriving a bit early today. I don’t feel like runnin, Watts Up, how bout’s you take the guys on a mosey. I’ll hang out here for awhile.
As the plan was building I felt my challenge was to recruit as many BC pax as possible since numbers can vary. The Pax showed, and what an intimidating group it was. Watts Up left me with a pack of beasts too boot. Once we rid ourselves of the runners we unloaded the Pilot weighted down with non potable Coors blocks. I had a couple of 25 lb. weights to boot.
The Painlabber’s were quick to help me in my initial start up efforts as the wind and my own lack of guidance slowed me a bit in getting us started. Many thanks to VooDoo who apparently has music on demand.
The Thang:
Stations:
Initiate each request in stations, slow mosey to middle of parking lot to get in 10 Monkey Humpers in between each one. Three rounds finished.
Flutters x 50 sgl. count
Heels to Sky x 20
LBC’s x 25
Squats (with block) x 25
Merkins or Merkins on Block x 25
Block Curls x 25
Overhead Press x 20
Block Walk
Slow Mosey to bottom of Schiele trail, coupons in tow.
Bottom of Hill:
Dora 1/2/3
Partner up. Mosey part way up hill, drop and give us one burpee. Back down and relieve your partner who is doing:
100 O/H block press
200 block curls
300 O/H block tricep push (modified to 200)
Clavin was performing a mosey NUR which I modified for all. Walking uphill backwards was a great audible and smoked those non usage muscles
Dora 2:
Got to get our legs in gear. Same exercise just 200 block squats
Mobile Stations:
Station 1, Pax does 100 flutters and relieves Stations 2 and 3.
Station 2: Amrap Freddie Mercury
Station 3: Hold 6″ until relieved
As we were within shouting distance of parking lot we stayed in the woods until about 1 minute ’til. As we emerged watching Watts Up smoke the Bootcamp the sweet chime of bells rang as we struggled to get the blocks back to the Pilot.
