What a Rush

DaVinci needed a Q since he had a family conflict. I’ll take it! YHC began planning weinke. I wanted to try some new things so I did a little bit of recon Friday afternoon. Didn’t find what I wanted so back to the drawing board, literally. Found out earlier that week that Neil Peart, Drummer from Rush, had passed away battling brain cancer. I immediately knew what my playlist would be. Coincidentally, our FNG today said he was a drummer. Thought it was fitting to call out “Rush” during naming ceremony, glad it stuck! Weinke completed, let’s load up the M’s minivan because the Prius couldn’t hold all this gear! MVC FO LIFE!! FYI, YHC found a lovely tractor trailer tire on the West Blvd. Exit off 485. I’m sure Huckleberry, Big Pappy and Boudin have seen said tire. Been eyeballing it for couple weeks, finally had a chance to snatch it up. Nice size, not terribly heavy but still has some good weight to it.

Warm-up by JJ of The Bootcamps

Group split – we got 9!

The Thang

Tabata stations – 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. I stressed to the PAX why I chose 20 and not longer. I made it 20 as it’s the perfect length to push your hardest while keeping form. Many times, especially with ropes, 30 seconds or longer and you begin to give up and not moving the ropes the way you should be, you become Lazy. Lazy is unacceptable in Pain Lab!

As always it’s a a true pleasure to lead all of you men. And for the last mother frikin time, 10 seconds on my timer is 10 dang seconds. 🖕!  WOPR, glad to see you out again. Consistency is key. Hermey, you have been posting at Pain Lab for over a solid month, would love to see you graduate to the next level and experience a Bootcamp! Trust me, you are ready! For the rest, keep up the great work and glad to see you posting at other AO’s during the week. Gump is a beast, when I see him push as hard as he does it makes me want to push that hard.
