It’s cold and there’s supposed to be so much snow and freezing rain coming in it ain’t funny. I let the pups out and to my surprise nothing. I look at the weather channel and they’re still acting it’s still snowmagedden 2022-3.0 outside. I head out to warm up the truck and still nothing. This is great for me I can do this workout as planned. I get to Old School early as usual “wink wink” to find Slaw has finished up an E/C run all by himself. Beside him is Leppard trying to stay warm in his luxurious Z71 with heated ostrich and gator skin seats and wrapped in his Snuggie. Just behind him sits Gumby and Mayor waiting patiently in the warmth of their trucks as well not realizing the royal crap storm they’re all about be in. You see I’m not a runner but today we ran. As a larger man I’m built to move large objects I’m not a big endurance guy but today we’re doing endurance work as well so let’s do it. It’s 0700 time to put in some work.

Warm Up all in cadence for 2 rounds

  • SSH
  • Gravel Pickers
  • MNC

Multiple Glute and Ham stretches before a little mosey over Old School’s Route 66 to be done with Hillbilly Squats at each let’s call them “Utility Poles” wouldn’t want any “Cable Pullers” to get offended as they tend to do right SA. That’s right you’re not here beauty sleep right.

Mosey back down Main St. to the Pharmacy headed across Trade St. down Cedar St. left on Sunset which is where Big Pappy lives so we stopped by to give his family something to talk about with a little Monkey Humping action. Now the Ol’ Slawbag really likes this a little too much you know I’ve never seen a man have to dust of his shorts after doing those but this guy knows how to get low if you know what I mean. Away we go on to Lewis St. and a quick left on to Brookgreen Dr. Now if you don’t know where this is located this road is about 1000ft long and all hill. Time for the real fun to begin.

125 Reps at the bottom and the top of the hill in an escalating/de-escalating fashion that looks something like this.

Bottom Side – Mericans/LBCs
Run up the hill
Top Side – Squats/SSH                                  Run down the hill

  • Round 1 – 100/25
  • Round 2 – 75/50
  • Round 3 – 50/75
  • Round 4 – 25/100

That’s 500 reps on each side of the hill with a 1000 reps total and the hill sprints in between.

Now that our legs are trashed we’ve now got a 10 min. trek back to the flag and only about 5 min. to do so  so let’s mosey.

0804 we’re late and Mayor is letting me know it. It would appear that he has a hair appointment and they get really anal about him being late at Paul Mitchell or Merle Norman or wherever the hell he goes. I’m so sorry guys just trying keep a reputation here if I’m not late to start a workout I’ll have to be late to finish right SA. Dang that’s right you don’t know cause you didn’t show. Beauty Sleeping and Beauty Salons what the heck are you guys doing.

All joking aside I have to say that I understand we need recovery days. I understand that we sometimes unintentionally sleep in. The thing I don’t understand is there are quite a few of us saying we’re hurting or we need to get back in shape before coming back out etc… etc… That’s crap. I had two banged up HIMS out here this morning who could have really used that excuse but chose to get their asses out of bed and join us in the COLD and GLOOM this morning and for that I was highly impressed. There were things that they couldn’t do due to their injuries but they wouldn’t let that be an excuse we worked around it with modifications. Guys if you are making excuses stop suck it up and get back out here we’ll work around whatever it is that’s ailing you so we can all get better together. Remember Iron sharpens Iron. Now that I’m finished ranting I’m stepping down from this soapbox.

COT and Pledge it out.
