5 men did the annual 9/11 stair climb on Tuesday to remember and honor those 2792 men, women, and children who died 18 years ago. Hard to believe it’s that long ago already, and how much that event changed our world. With the grueling Iron Pax Challenge happening both the …
The Killer B’s ended with a bang Saturday morning, with Grundy taking the Northshore lead by mere seconds. Sure, we could debate the fairness of doing it on the lakefront’s luxurious grass vs. the Marsh’s unyielding concrete, or the legality of the proctor himself taking home first place, but when …
Being called in as a last minute backup can go one of two ways: either you’re a little stressed because you have to plan a beatdown quickly, or maybe the opposite, a little too relaxed, shirking that preparation because… hey, you’re the backup, what’re they expecting? Now, I’m not gonna …
Inspired by Chewy’s spate of back to back to back blasts, YHC figured it was time to put some fingers to the keyboard. I love to read these things, so why have I shirked my duty for my last 3 Q’s? Alright, let’s forget the counts just this once, …
8 pax met at Gma’s house on the gloriously muggy morning. The attendance was a little up this morning, after Cowbell’s call to action on Saturday at the lakefront. The Thang: Mosey to parking lot for Quick Warm up: SSH x 20; IW x 20; Merkins x 20 all IC …
Backblast will be like the beatdown, just a routine break at work.. It shall be brief and to the point so here it goes.. Warmup 10IC Torso twist, 10IC Scorpion kicks, Down dawg stretch with right leg high and left leg high.. 10IC SSH and 10IC Butt kicks.. Thang Standard …
Sometimes taking a Q is just a way to ensure you actually post to the beatdown, which was the case for YHC and the Scramble yesterday morning. Luckily, six other men required no such motivation. Well, I say six, but really there were only 5 others until the final minutes of …
Mid 70s never felt so humid! How foolish to suppose that a respite from the summertime blues would result from an unseasonably cool beginning to the eighth month of 2019. And speaking of beginnings… WARMORAMA x10 IC: Toe Touches Torso Twists Imperial Walkers SSH Windmills THANG The prescribed scramble route …
This past weekend, YHC bumped into a friend, T shirt drenched with sweat, who said he had just come from a Cross fit workout. As my friend recounted the workout to me, I realized I could recycle at least part of this cool beatdown at Granny’s on Tuesday. Or, at …
YHC noticed 69degrees on the dash in the truck while en route, and had to check the date to make sure this wasn’t a dream. It was a great treat indeed to start off a Thursday morning in July with a scramble in such weather! Cowbell arrived an uncharacteristically 3 …
