The Low Wall – “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da” DID Do Do Do, DID Da Da Da Dips, Irkins, Derkins x 10 RnR for song
Main Drive – “All This Time” & “If I Ever Lose My Faith in You” All This Climb Run up hill to stop sign, perform 10 Mountain Climbers. Return to base. 15 Mountain Climbers. Continue adding 5 reps for each subsequent ascent and descent. RnR through both songs.
At least some made to 60 Mountain Climbers.
Playground – “Murder By Numbers” & “Money for Nothing” M.U.R.D.E.R By Numbers Partner up – P1 takes lap around MCC while P2 does exercise. Flapjack, working up to 75 cumulative reps for each exercise.
– Merkins – Up Downs – Reverse Lunge – Decline Shoulder Taps – Elevated Split Squats – Reverse Plank Heel Taps
Think most got murded but nobody was murdered before time was called.
Startex – “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” Mary Dealer’s Choice
Cut for time!
MOLESKINE: Bomber is alive and well and dare I say more mature than ever. So glad to have the opportunity to Q this AO that will always be near and dear to my heart even if it isn’t geographically. Thanks to CubCadet for the ask!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many 2nd F opportunities ahead, and even a couple of 1st Fs with The Struggle tonight and the Tussle next month.

WARMUP:
THE THANG:Backblast! Convergence: Rescue Juicy J DATE: 2026-09-17 AO: The Knoll Q: Shakira, Juicy J PAX: Bulldog Shakira Juicy J Cherry Maguire sooner porcelain DintyMoore Subway FNGs: None COUNT: 8 CONDITIONS: A bit dark for hurling a piece of plastic at each other’s faces.
WARMUP: Arm circles, karoake, jaw warmups while trashtalking atlantis
THE THANG: A WORLD RECORD SETTING GAME — most drops in 30 minutes of play. After an opening flurry of points, the game remained deadlocked at 2-2. Team Knoll suffered a brutal, yet potentially predictable blow when Juicy J ripped his hamstring halfway through the match leaving a depleted defense. At this point, the abandoned Knollians in attendance were ready to change Juicy’s F3 name to “Benedict Arnold.”
Determined to fight on, Bulldog and I (with some friendly help from DintyMoore) began to rush the frisbee up the field. With time running out, we hurled a deep desperation pass that looked to be falling to the ground when out of nowhere we saw —a bird—a plane—no! it was a one-legged Juicy rising into the sky like a majestic crane. If only The Banker had been there to record the moment in his birdwatching app.
Jumping on just one leg, he managed to gracefully snare the frisbee and keep our hopes alive! Inspired by our friend turned enemy turned friend, we rallied and scored two goals in quick succession to give the Knoll a 4-2 victory! Here’s to you Juicy and Bulldog:saluting_face:
Big thanks to the guys from Atlantis for hosting us!

Back Attack

AO: atlantis
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: porcelain, CubCadet, Subway, Oatmeal, SalPal
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: COMFY

WARMUP: SSH x20

THE THANG: Attacking the back with each half of the remedy to back pain- stretching and strengthening!

Started with some static stretching, good mornings, and shoulder stretches. Flowed into a quick yoga routine from sun pose into warrior 1 & 2, triangle pose, back up and down into the other side. Then downward dog into cobra, back to downward dog, into runners lunges, with a twist on each side.

Mosey over to the swings to elucidate how much we work our chest compared to our backs. 4 sets of 10 bodyweight rows on the swings, paired with 10 pushups. Safe to say the pushups were quite a bit easier.

Lunge back to startx because glute and hamstring strength is the foundation of a strong lower back! Then 3 sets of 45 second tubota style exercises mixing back and lower body;
– Dumbbell flys
– Alabama Prom Dates
– Cinderblock deadlift
– Squats
– Exercise band extensions
– Clamshells

Finished out with a round of Mary because core strength is also critical for back support.

MOLESKINE: Oatmeal is in 3 cults currently applying for his 4th. Subway thinks Juvenile’s name is Jeremy

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brewsday next Tuesday and YHC will be in attendance! Second drink is on moneyshot

COT: Prayers for kids getting out of school and a family dealing with a miscarriage.

PLAYLIST: very subpar performance from the gallery trying to guess song title and artist of songs with “Back” in the name. I think we hit on 5/13 and burpees ensued for each wrong answer.
