Good work Men! 

There were 8 HIM who bellied up for a big serving at The Pub this morning. One of them was Olsen, a regular at The Storm now making his first appearance at the region’s premium running AO. This is what happened…

Pledge of Allegiance

Announcement that we would do the Mud Route today. Only named so because on our maiden voyage many month ago, Seuss, Waterboy and I think Stroganoff couldn’t keep themselves out of the muddy area where the sidewalk ended. Hence, the Mud Route. It’s not really muddy though, perfectly paved roads and sidewalk for miles.

It goes like this: R onto Hoffman, R onto Hudson, R onto Lowell-Bethesda, R into the neighborhood, L, L, L onto Titman, L onto Hoffman, L into the Pub

Everyone made it back safely! AYE!!!

Ball Joint

Just before we began to werk, Ball joint mentioned he couldn’t find his fraternity shirt to wear this morning.

A little chuckle and we moved on to get werkin.

Warm Up: Grandpa Jacks, Mo Rockin Night clubs, Goofballs.
Mosey to Carr elementary with a quick stop by Toe Picks house to do some Monkey Humpers in his front yard. No we miss you cards from us our friendly reminders are little better if you ask me.

The Bed Pan is Full!

PAINOPOLY was introduced to the PAX of Belmont this AM. The game has been a great addition to the weinke rotation and with a hectic, long hour work week this was a no brainer to pull out given I had zero time to create a weinke. We had an FNG join us thanks to ShortSale. Welcome Tin Man! This Respect PAX had double knee replacement back in April I think I heard. Replaced both knees with some bionic titanium!! Sounds expensive but he’s in IT Security so his Ransomware collections over the years helped cover the cost. These are the kind of men we need to keep an eye out for and EH. No, not the rich guys with millions in Bitcoin, but they guys out there on IR, recovering from surgery. Good work Short Sale!

Great fellowship and strong work for the six of us. Remember to practice good form. Thanks to Flintstone for requesting demos on most all of the moves. Quite often I forget that some may not know the proper lifting moves & techniques so thanks for keeping me honest and the Pax safe from injury!!

Aye!

HIPAA

On this glorious hump day, 8 men beat the fartsack to get better. This is what happened…

We welcomed an FNG to our ranks today, one who’s been EH’ed for quite a long time by many PAX. He worked as hard as any of us and hopefully will be back soon.

Disclaimer

Warmup – Goofballs, Don Quixotes IC, the patented L over R IC

Mosey to the back of the school for the Thang.

The Deck of Death

This was to be a very straight forward workout. Do whatever the card says. All face cards were to be 25 reps of the shown exercise. Jokers would be a run to the front of the school. It only took a couple cards before the first Joker came up, run! The lack of music was complained about on the run (go figure) so when we got back YHC cranked up the trusty iPhone to max volume and play random songs.

Back to pushing the rock! Everything was going great until time was running short and we had to pick up the pace. For the last 10 minutes we had to double time it. With a few select card omissions we made it through just in time. Aye!

Mosey back to the start for namorama, prayers and announcements.

It was great having an FNG with us. Always be EHing men. If we’re not growing we’re dying! This goes for our region and each of us in life. Keep growing men!

Announcements: 2nd F Saturday at noon, 5k at Crossroads

Prayer requests: Turtleman, Linus’ dad, former Belmont PD office Buck Buchanan had motorcycle wreck and in bad shape, Feta (YHC’s 2.1) job opportunity
