ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check the Natural Ice blast!
COT: Thank you for these guys, and good weather, and healthy bodies.
WARMUP:
The usual suspects: SSH to get the blood moving, a round of merkins to wake up the arms, squats to loosen the hips, and some light stretching to make sure no one pulled a hammy.
THE THANG 1:
Bear Way to Heaven up the little school steps. Ten full rounds of bear crawls up with a merkin on each step. Why ten? Because someone had to make sure we put in more stair work than handsomizer. A true gut check—hands and legs burning by the end.
THE THANG 2:
Circuit grind: 5 pull-ups, 20 dips, 30 squats. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Too many sets to count, but enough to make the shoulders scream and the quads question life choices. Simple, effective, punishing.
Sets of Merry where tossed in between each set.
MOLESKINE:
We almost capped things off with a Burpee Apocalypse, but I gave in to the peer pressure of Grape and listened to the little voice saying “slow down, live to fight another day.” Sometimes wisdom is knowing when to push and when to hold back. Good reminder that accountability isn’t just about going harder, it’s also about checking your ego and keeping it sustainable.

THE THANG: SSH, IST, merkins, mosey
more mosey, more merkins
bear crawl x 10
pull ups + count up on burpees
lunges + bear crawls around tennis court
UH OH, WHAT’S THAT!?!?! Black Lung penalty is in effect for 21 minutes late. hambone multiplier is also in effect for 2x effort. The meaning of life is 42, and 42 burpees were done (mostly).
MOLESKINE: I don’t think I’ve ever seen bluemule hug a tennis court net–definitely a first. I also have a suspicion that our heralded AOQ was not out of the FS until 0517 this morning based on the poopyness level in the face.
Old Maid, you looked concerned during the sprints, but then you had a blast of energy and you crushed it. I saw the back give out on the burpees–sorry, it’s a short man’s game. Speaking of which, I think Tim the Toolman probably did 50+ burpees; he’s a show off, but he missed the meaning of life (which is 42).
caprate and Shy Guy had their moment of doubt, but once they remembered the Q was a wide man shaped like a barrel, they knew he would tucker out.
Black Lung you’re not late, you’re just chronologically challenged. You found us, and that’s what counts. Speaking of finding us, Drop Trow only had one parking lot to look in so it was easy today.
Michelin Man, I did keep it to 5 push ups. There was also a half-decent amount of running. To be honest, I planned for more, but the arrival of 42 helped redefine the meaning of the workout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: silent crew
COT: silent crew, but we prayed to Jesus Christ and asked for the improvement of our lives.
PLAYLIST RATING: C’mon, you knew what it was going to be.
