Good job, LJ! Way to keep the crowd semi-tame. Lot of Mumblechatter even without the usual suspects present(Hardywood, Labrat, etc.). Nice partnering with Upchuck, Pavoratti and LJ. Sorry I had to miss the last 10 minutes, COT and ET’s. Have a great rest of the weekend all!
Nice to see the pre-dawn ruckers out there. The New Market clowns must have left right after cow milkin’ time. Great to see Recall back out. Way to push. Huge numbers today, awesome!
Thanks Lockjaw! Nothing like an old fashioned prison beat down to kick off the weekend.
Nice beat down LJ. Abs are burning. Can we petition for a better name than Wilson’s Boxing Cockroaches?
Relax Honeydo! That name is set and approved by corporate! LOL
LJ – the title of the BB has prompted some questions! Next time we see each other ok? Killer beating! Well done by all.
Great Q Lockjaw!!
It comes from the mumble chatter doing the descending Monkey Humpers down the amphitheater steps. Someone said they had to keep going before the guy on the step right behind him caught up and closed in on the step he was on. Someone else said at least it wasn’t a Monkey Humper and Upright Alabama Prom Date workout. Then Gomer Pyle said: “Just like working out in prison.” There were a couple of other prison references during the cockroaches.
Hence the backblast title.
How about “Wilson’s Boxing Clowns”?
I can’t stop looking at my abs in the mirror this evening. Thanks LJ!
Wilson’s Prison Workout? I’ll check the Lexicon to confirm it’s not already taken.
We can then alter Wilson’s Wife to Wilson Conjugal Visit as well.
Great start to the weekend as usual. Good Q LJ. Way to keep the mob in order. The amphitheater work set the tone early. Great partner work today. Thanks Wilson, Flatline and Spit for the partner work. With 37 PAX and some deep, cold gloom, I didn’t even realize L.O.L.A. LOLA was there until the lights came on upon returning to the flag. Great to see so many guys out on a beautiful Saturday morning.
Great Q man
Let’s all acknowledge this merkin-friendly workout and the clear and concise instructions from our illustrious Q. Great closeout LJ acknowledging the significance of this date.
Any passing monkey would have made a quick exit upon encountering this beatdown.
Vinnayyyyy.
Merkin friendly, Yes. Clarity of explanation, not so much.
I got confused once or twice but that’s kind of our thing LJ (what did he say??). Good times though. Hope this morning went well.
