It was a clear black night, a clear white moon

Sargento is on the streets, trying to consume

Some bricks for the eve, so I can get some pump

Just rucksacking in my kicks, chillin’ with Watts Up and Dry Rub…

The Thang

We rucksacked north on Union Rd carrying bricks. Every 5 minutes we did 10 merkins, 10 WW1 sit-ups and 10 squats. Got to Lidl and turned for home.

Made it back just in time. Pledge and COT

…now back to my rhyme…

I’m tweaking
Onto a whole new level
G-Funk
Step to this
I dare ya
Funk
On a whole new level
The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble
Chords
Strings
We brings
Melody
G-Funk
Where rhythm is life and life is rhythm
If you know like I know
You don’t want to step to this
It’s the G-Funk era
Funked out with a gangster twist
If you smoke like I smoke
Then you rucksack like everyday
And if your hiney is a buster
F3 will regulate!

This gloom it was pretty cold in the downtown Belmont area. There were 5 HIM counting YHC which would work out just fine for what was in store.

After running from home to the AO, YHC slowly gathered himself so as to give the PAX a moment to prepare themselves for the onslaught. Actually, I had to get my surprise out of my vehicle, the boombox! Everybody loves it when YHC brings the tunes.

Pledge

Mosey to the Pit where we hit the play button on music. No complaints!?! Amazing…now to the main event.

The Deck of Death! The following were included in the first round. Two jokers meant 10 burpees and a lap around the Pit. Aces were a lap as well. Unfortunately YHC’s music box failed after about 3 songs, didn’t even make it to the Tool. Bummer…

• Merkins
• Squats
• Side Straddle Hops
• Dying Cockroaches

We made it through the whole with plenty of time to spare so lets run it back. This time we did

• CDDs
• Bobby Hurleys
• Monkey Humpers
• LBCs

We made it about 2/3 of the way through this one but did get in all the Aces and Jokers again. Lots of running with this DoD.

Thanks for showing today men. You’re old, it was cold but we were all better for it. Aye!

In this edition of Midoriyama there was a 2nd F citing with 4 full grown HIMs and 2 Cotter 2.0s. For those counting at home that’s 7 PAX who braved the blizzard of 2020 to keep pushing the rock.

Unfortunately one of the PAX immediately said he had to go. Oh well, his loss, let’s do this!

Disclaimer, warmup, mosey.

We arrived at the covered shelter (because while it was snowing that stuff melts and makes you wet and miserable) to embark on the Tammy Wynette (Stand By Your Man!)

Partner up, partner one does 10 reps of one exercise while the other does 10 reps of a different one. Flapjack the exercises until you reach 100. We did 3 rounds of this as follows:

1. Merkins & Squats
2. American Hammers & Alternating Shoulder Taps
3. Dips & LBCs

Unfortunately, one of the 2.0s was struggling to maintain his effort and pretty much gave up. His loss but we’ll keep encouraging just the same.

Mosey back toward the startorama for the next leg of our journey.

Doracides!

Partner up again (or keep the same as it was) to do 100 Lunges (each leg), 200 CDDs, 300 Side Straddle Hops & 400 Air Presses. This was tough and we were pushing up until we ran out of time. We only made it through most of the SSHs.

Mosey to the start. It was fun men!

Namorama, announcements & prayer requests.

Aye!

At the 5th meeting of TRB, 6 HIMs rolled up looking for work. Hard work. This is the right place. This is what I recall.

Warm Up

Goofballs, Don Quixote. Practice lap around the track.

Mosey 20 yards and get ready for BLIMPS.

• Burpees x 5
• Lunges x 10 each leg
• Imperial Walkers x 15 each leg
• Merkins x 20
• Plank Jacks x 25
• Squats x 30

We ran this back for 3 rounds of pain.

Mosey to the back of the school for the next round of torture. Partner up for the always popular Dora 123!!!

Partner 1 runs up the steps, down the chute and back to the start. Partner 2 does

• 100 Merkins
• 200 Monkey Humpers
• 300 Flutter Kicks

Good times, keep pushing the rock! Mosey all the way back around the front of the school to the track. Head to the bleachers for the last routine of the gloom. Lindsays!!! On one side do 30 reps, run to the other side of the field and do 5. Flap jack by 5s until its back the other way. The exercises were Dips and LBCs.

One last lap around and back to the start and we’re done. Time!

It was great leading these dedicated HIMs again. Keep pushing and we’ll be back next week!

AYE!!!

It was pretty cold for the first Monday of the new year but that didn’t stop the 10 HIM that showed up to push major rock. After a practically nonexistent disclaimer YHC led some warmups and moseyed the PAX over to the elementary school entrance area for some smooth pavement.

Has anyone every noticed that the Mount Holly Middle School parking lots is absolutely terrible? I digress.

Today the lucky PAX would have the chance to explore some Deck of Death surprises. Rules were that we’d do what each card says but on the aces we’d have to run a lap and any number card was to be increased by 10 reps. The PAX was in good spirits today and we went about the workout as planned.

It was funny though that it seemed most of the exercises ended up being of the leg or running type. Any way, we didn’t get through the whole deck but we did good work just the same.

I appreciate the opportunity to lead. You men are awesome! AYE!!!

8 men got swole this morning and didn’t even need kettlebells, blocks or bricks to do it. Their own sweat and a killer weinke were all that was needed to do the job. Here’s what happened.

Warmup:

Don Quixote (aka the Mayor)

The Thang:

YHC made up a routine of descending reps of each exercise all done under the covered part of the school. You might think that we wouldn’t get much movement in with this setup but you’d be wrong Mayor. That’s why we call it Ding Dong Ditch!

Start at one end of the covered part doing 20 Donkey Kicks, mosey down the way and pick an appropriate place to do 20 Dips, mosey a little more and do 20 Derkins on the round things, then go to the front door and do 20 Dirty Hookups. Wait, hold the phone! Upon realizing the the front door area of the school is glass YHC didn’t want to risk breaking anything or at least having to clean up so we omaha’ed the Dirty Hookups to be Alternating Shoulder Taps (keeping the shoulder burn going Mayor)!  Once everyone is done we mosey back to the start and do it again, just do 2 less reps than the time before.

What was fun, along with pushing the rock, was seeing how high Roscoe could jump and touch the wall with his soaked gloves. Another thing is that even though we tried several times to get a competent countoff from the PAX. Apparently we are brain dead because we only executed it correctly once or twice. Maybe it was a morning thing Mayor?

Well we finished up this routine with enough time to do a round of Mary with each PAX calling an ab-only exercise since we hadn’t worked the six-packs yet. YHC finished with the always crowd pleasing Bring Sally Up, Mayor’s favorite. He should’ve been here. Legend has it that Mayor was once seen at this AO but I’m sure that’s just a wives tale. Anywho, YHC really enjoyed leading such a fun and energetic group of fellow rock pushers.

Annoucnements:

Prayer Requests:

Leppard’s son

Thank you all for the opportunity to lead men! AYE!!!

Reporting to the gloom today were 7 men ready to get after it on a chilly December morning. Let’s do it!

Warm Up:

Goof Balls of course!

Don Quixote

Imperial Walkers

Monkey Humpers

Mosey around the grassy area toward the island. Look out, there’s a bike repair assembly thing close by, make sure not to run into it. Once at the bridge YHC was about to give the first command when he noticed the signature color of…BLOOD! Radar apparently was cut right on the cheek when he ran into the bike thing. Watch out men.

YHC then called for Bear Crawls across the wooden part of the bridge. Once across, the PAX was directed to Karaoke left to the next bridge. Fellowship mosey across the next bridge then lunge walk back to the other side. From there we do Karaoke R to the other bridge. Fellowship mosey across then Bear Crawl back again. Skip to the other bridge and then mosey to the parking lot.

Partner up for Dora 123. Partners do 100 merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBCs and 400 Air Presses. While one is exercising, the other runs to the other end of the parking lot and back. Teamwork until completion.

Mosey back to the start for something to end with and we’re done.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. Sorry for the late BB.

AYE!
