Labor Day weekend – I led the Iron Pax Challenge for that week. What # you ask? Who gives a shit – it was weeks ago. We did epic work I’m sure, at least Defib, Whoopee, and JJ. Enjoy the brevity, it’s the only time I’ll forget to write a novelette known as my BB (I promise). This will probably knock me out of the end of year awards for Best BB…well, time for someone else to win, I guess.
Day: October 25, 2023
The night before, I caught Maybelline tryin to give away my Q! No way man! Without accountability, I’m liable to fartsack!
I start with a few warm ups then send the pack for a mosey around the backside of the park to meet me at the bottom of the lot in the park. I just can’t run anymore, improvise as needed.
On your 6ix, we work for 50 seconds, transition to the next exercise. Flutters, LBC’s, rev-LBC’s, oblique crunches. Run around the 2nd light pole and back. Rinse & Repeat 3x’s.
Next set, on your 6ix, same deal. Merkins, incline merkins, Derkins, shadow boxing, Run around the 2nd light pole and back. Rinse & Repeat 3x’s.
It’s time! Somehow Hushpuppy shows up at the end and joins us on the mosey back to Snowballs.
We get back with half a minute left. On your 6ix for some American hammers til the end of our time.
Good work men!
Prayer Request: Huck, Turtleman, Mayor, Norwood, Jackson Hall

Round up on his hill
Rolled in at 5am to catch Westside doing some EC with the skunks, he helped me load up the blocks and take them to the bottom parking lot for a block beat down in some gross humidity.
Thunder is a 25min AMRAP, 8 exercises with 12 reps each is a round. We a competing with ourselves to beat our time from earlier in the summer to see if we have bettered ourselves. Not sure the heat and humidity did us any favors but I’m pretty sure everyone in our crew beat their old round counts.
12 Thrusters, 12 curls, 12 American hammers (count one side), 12 block swings, 12 rows, 12 Big boys, 12 heels to heaven, 12 Burpees.
Once we finished that up we did some escalating four corners, 10 Mike Tyson’s, 15 Jump Squats, 20 flutters, 30 LBCs
We finished with a round of Iron Hulk with the blocks

We can always look forward to a Tesla quip at each workout he attends. He and several other PAX showed up late to the start. There was some excuse about a “slow car” in front or something. In any event, the warm up lasted a little longer and went something like this…
Plank for the PAX that were lolligagging getting to the AO on time. Plank walk right to complete a circle. SSH, Merkins, Squats, Hillbillies, Take a lap around the track
Mosey to the light poles. Skip from the 1st to 2nd. Lunge from the 2nd to 3rd, Bearcrawl form the 3rd to 4th. Hit the wall for wall sits followed by wall sits and Arnold air presses.
Mosey to the back of the school and hit the steps for 50 calf raises, 50 calf raises duck footed, 50 calf raises pigeon toed. Tesla said something about Texarcana and Cattle Trailers and a word that means “odd”. Mosey to the light pole for the THANG.
YHC spoke about the MUSTER in Dallas and decided to do the Thursday PT session with the PAX, but abbreviated it to three rounds.

Prayer/Praise: Turtleman, Jackson Hall, Marriages, Seasonal Mood changes in people (Get some morning sunlight in your eyes)
When we ended COT with a Prayer, we noticed that Mrs. Breaker Breaker wasn’t at school yet. She is always there between 0605 and 0615 and we welcome her with what sounds like something out of Kindergarten Cop, “Good morning MRS. BREAKER”.
Breaker Breaker started saying that she was late because it was his fault that she was late. When she got there about 0620, she said she was late due to something about coffee and a “slow car” in front of her. She sounded like Tesla with that excuse! You hate to see it!
Anyway, a great morning with a good number of PAX and great fellowship.
