Monday Wood

I’m not saying that ole Cousin Eddie is promising that he’s going to be a regular fixture at Evening Wood, but I am saying that when oCE goes and posts on a Monday evening, it’s always a good time.

Would I have gone if I didn’t have the Q? Maybe not. Lesson 1: schedule some dudes to Q in your AO that normally don’t. Forcing someone out of their comfort zone is a good thing, right?

Lesson 2: when posting/Qing at EW make sure you eat your supper at around 4:30. This is known as the Early Bird method. This should reduce any unforeseen Deuces and/or the unfortunate 1/2 Puke. Do not start eating at around 7:00 or you’re screwed.

Weather: horrible. F You Summer with all your humidity, heat, and warm parking lots. Granted I know it’s supposed to be hot, but man it just sucks.

Thang: Warmups. Powder and Flamer were chatting the whole time about something. Clearly they are trying to distract the Q from his A Game. Lesson 3: Ain’t going to happen, Chocise.

Anway

(Note: why the hell is the bottom of this page blocking my text that’s in the middle? Anyway, if this looks cattywhompis, I blame the site not the user.)

Moving forward, short mosey to short wall. Incline merkins, IC. Or were they decline? Dammit, why do I still get those confused? Started w/ the ones with your head higher than feet. Then Step Ups OYO. Then deinclines. Then tricep dips, IC.

Mosey to Tunnel of Love for wall sits. It felt really good in there by the way. Must be some HVAC leaking or something.

Mosey to the Lil Quad for Lunge Walks over to the other parking lot. You know, the one where we would typically do that really fun partner exercise where we push each other’s feet down?

We didn’t do that exercise, but we did do another fun one. This came from Splinter in Columbia (Abe’s Meanest Son).

At the top of each minute start:

10 merkins/6 squat jumps/4 burpees

Repeat for 10 minutes.

Mosey to bottom of hill approaching Lake HKY CC for Flamers and Box Cutters. Continue mosey to the bottom of what used to be the fairway of hole #1. Crawl Bear up a little nasty hill. Always a treat.

Mosey up to Rocky Top’s house for monkey humpers. Mosey to Humpy’s house for (of course) Humpys. Then across the street for F3Foothills’ next EH target: Phil Keever. Dude apparently has more excuses than reasons to post. Keep after him fellas. He’s bound to crack soon.

Plank for the 6.

Finish up with 5 minutes of Sand Babies. 10 SB Burpees, 10 curls or kettle bell swings, then end with a SB Bear Crawl.

Fun stuff. Glad yall had me.

Thoughts:

• Yukon Cornelius posted for the 2nd week in a row. Proud of that dude. If you’re reading, keep it up boss. It doesn’t get easier, you just get better.
• Tramp Stamp is a bad mother scratcher.
• TS also continues to hold a slight grudge against me for his nickname. For the record, I was the Q when he first posted but I did not suggest Tramp Stamp.
• I also didn’t suggest an alternate name. It’s perfect for a Tarheel if you ask me.
• Caboose is a regular Wooder.
• So is Dick Trickle.
• DT reportedly exercised 3 times yesterday. 3. WTF.
• We had some tasty beverages after the workout. While they were not the choicest of TBs, they were still tasty. And cold. A little low-key 2nd F was much needed for oCE. I really enjoyed talking to the folks there last night.
• We discussed accountability. The lowest hanging fruit of accountability is making sure that your boy (whoever that may be) either posts or is properly shamed for not posting. The harder part of accountability is w/ 2nd and 3rd F. Don’t be reluctant to ask that same dude how his life is going. Or how his walk of faith is going. It can do wonders for someone, just like a Crawl Bear can.

oCE out!
