Planks & Moguls

Pre-Thang YHC had a late night at a soft opening of the Ponchatrain Hotel and didn’t get the BackBlast written until last minute.  That usually means burpees will be the beat down culprit.  So not a moment was spared after the disclaimer with a Slaughter Starter: start with 10, then …

Feel the Bern

8 men met in the Mid-City Gloom this morning.  Missing a few of the neighborhood regulars, but glad to see Shorty back from his Anniversary Vacation.  We can’t live everyday in paradise.  Growth happens in humidity and suck. The Thang Given the warm-ups Q’d by JV and Tool earlier in the week, …

Wednesdays are Booming

Twelve men trickled into the the City Park gloom this am for the usual Wednesday sweat fest. This was our second week at the Foundry AO which isn’t exactly uncharted territory but rather a twist on the Saturday and Tuesday workouts. City Park definitely has plenty to offer by having …

A Hillbilly in NOLA

Pre-Thang After seeing no one was Q’ing on the GoogleSheets, YHC decided to take an impromptu step up to the plate at an AO only visiting once.  Okwata has a long stretch of levee, and YHC just returned from the rolling hills of Kentucky over Memorial Day weekend.  There might …
