No Time to Waste

Seven veterans and an FNG rolled into The Gipper AO for an abbreviated beatdown ahead of Thursday evening’s F2 get together at The Tap Room. With no time to waste, the PAX warmed up with 10 reps each IC of SSHs, Merkins, Toe Touches, Mountain Climbers, Seal Jacks, Plank Jacks, …

Select a (medium-sized) rock!

Extremely proud of the PAX for joining me at the Gipper this cold morning. Thank you for keeping us accountable and making us better men! After a brief warm-up, the PAX gathered around the rock garden. Some men/boys chose a small-sized rock (hate), others chose medium/large-sized rocks (respect). The PAX …

What in the world!!

Q arrived to the sights/sounds of Wacker chatter with Steve and Waterpik. This was unexpected as the previous day the Wacker had stated the likeliness of a post was not in his favor. Considering he is embarking on a 50k solo journey to Alabama this weekend, where he will most …

2 Legit 2 Quit

Th first below-freezing beatdown of the season and did attendance dip at the Gip? No sir, Ronnie would’ve been proud, 12 men posted in this morning’s 27º gloom. And yes, yes, we might as well just point it out: Shooter was indeed gloveless. Not to belabor the point, but according …

I Believe In Miracles…

A beautiful, clear morning with a slight chill in the air…a harbinger of the great day to come…Pre-thang got started at the usual time of 6:10. Only YHC and Zoolander, who arrived decked out in his cat burgler outfit, which he frequently dons once the weather turns. Always great to …

Running in Circles

Maverick put such a whuppin’ on our upper bodies yesterday at the Gipper that YHC had preordained there’d be no burpees, no merkins, and no pull-ups at the (post) Scramble this morning. We began with one the slowest warmoramas YHC has led, and I’ve led some pretty slow ones. Good …
