Emerson’s
Everyone changes their mind but I changed the whole workout during the warm up. I’m sure it happens all the time. One Hurler morning our stage hand Mercedes led us down Dudley Shoals road for a complete workout while stopping all each “pole” for an exercise, so we dubbed it the Emerson’s. This hill is […]
ER: I can’t quit you
By now, if you’ve read one of my ER backblasts, you already know that this AO has a special place in my heart. I won’t go into the why, how, or when on this one. Do me a favor and just don’t tell my M about my love of dirty, skanky, parking lots ok? Fuse […]
Gifts from the Beach
So YHC had just come back from a 2 week hiatus at the beach. Reading Rainbow was scheduled for the Q but it had been a while since yours truly had Q’d and while at the beach, YHC picked up a little pain that needed to be shared! Here’s how it went: Warm ups….blah blah […]
Whipping Stick
Warmup Mosey lap around parking lot, SSH, Humpys, Windmill mosey down to lower parking lot where there were some block waiting on us. block spoke: 3 block burpees in the middle after each corner (carry your block with you to each corner station); 4 corners were 20 Bent Rows, 30 Overhead press, 40 Bench press […]
Double down in T’town
Wow what a great day for a good ol beatdown at Copperhead Creek. Temps in the mids 60’s and a nice breez in our face. 4 pax decided it would be a good idea to double down this morning. At 0600 the 4 did week 3 of the August GORUCK challange. So just a quick […]
Block work
I pulled up to Prison Break and saw an empty parking lot. What is this? Everyone only skips on PBR’s Qs!! After a few minutes, the PAX started rolling in just in time. And then a few late arrivals made it a nice sized group! With everyone finally out and moving, we got started…. Warmup […]
Leaning in to infinity ♾
Perhaps YHC should not play on the phone late at night. Especially as I’m starting my vacation early with an extra beer (or two) before heading to bed. Sometimes a call goes out for a Substi-Q, and bad decisions are made—at least bad decisions at 39 equal an early morning workout and not nicknaming myself […]
Worst at the Mount
There are a few exercises YHC doesn’t really like, so naturally YHC queued them up for today’s beatdown. First, a quick warm-up in cadence with 10 side-straddle hops 12 humpies 10 small arm circles 10 reverse arm circles 20 butt kickers 20 high knees Then a mosey to the Clock, for one of my least […]
Mount @ OG
Monday night, Publix threw it out there that he needed to switch Q’s because of vacation. I had a conflict for next Wednesday when I was scheduled to Q, so more than a coincidence it seemed ordained that I would Q at OG this morning. The only problem I had was that I have only […]
Organ Grinder Tuesdays
2 years ago, the AO known as Organ Grinder was born. Like all other newborns, it was ugly, needed a lot of attention, and required cleaning every time you visited it. In fact, I’m pretty sure it remains as the only AO to have it’s blocks stolen from it. Wait, nevermind. Sorry Mt. View, I […]
