Another beautiful day resurrected 34 warriors from wasting life & breath in bed. With the sun emerging on the horizon, cool temperatures climbing to an even 70 degrees, Dr TryHard called the PAX forward to partner up and grab a caber from YHC’s truck.

Mosey Back to the ShovelFlags for COT:

  • Namerama (FNG Kryptonite)
  • Announcerama (see Comments)
  • YHC took us out in Prayer

NMS:

  • Don’t know about you boys, but my shoulders and arms are FEELIN it today! YHC had conducted an inaugural caberama at The FORGE a few weeks ago, which went quite well, and when a couple large trees recently fell at YHC’s house, it seemed the good Lord was providing more cabers just in time for YHC’s first Dogpile Q. Three cheers for heavy green wood! Go hard or go home, right?! Despite the facade of groans once folks discovered YHC’s truck bed was chock block full of coupon goodness, the PAX embraced the challenge with as much revelry as a bunch of boys given BB guns. As you might expect, there was also a fair amount of wood-related innuendo making mumble chatter merry and bright. Our only FNG for the day was an absolute stud, notably curling a massive beam on his own during the initial COP while Shakedown held LIFO Hardywood’s hand to go back for an extra caber. Welcome Kryptonite! It should be noted that Hardwood made up for his tardiness later by performing caber pickle-pounders with phenomenal zeal. We expect he will be a father of 10 before we know it! As always, it is my absolute pleasure to be a part of this brotherhood, and I am thankful to each of you for your support and good humor in following me today. 
Share.

  2. I knew the second I saw what was in the back of your truck what we were in for. That being said it was a lot of fun, at least I knew we werent going to be running much.

    Thanks for being the coupons back out. Way to mix it up DTH!

  3. Great Q and great morning! The parter caber LBC’s were very tough. I have abs of steel now! Have a great weekend all!

  4. Looks like a soilid beating. Reminds me of the time when Conspiracy brought out the ladies…….he even made us push a truck that day. Sorry to miss DTH’s first Dogpile Q. Looks tough. Summer tour was in full effect today as New Market FULL clown car made the long trip to Grid Iron. Met some new PAX today. Very cool! See you boys back on tour next week!

  5. What a workout today, glad it was cool temperatures for this tough workout. Great Q Dr Tryhard and I my shoulders thank you!

  6. DTH! Great Q brother, way to chance things up. Unfortunately it brought back some not so fond memories from Grow Ruck carring basically trunk of trees. Atleast these were a 1/10 of the size and only took an hour.

    Great job fellas. Dogpile is always a great start to the weekend!

  7. Great session today DTH! Glad to be part of such an amazing brotherhood! I had a great time and I’m looking forward to next weekend. Thanks again everyone for having me.

  8. Finally a Early Risers friendly beatdown. Nice creativity with the Cabers DTH. Who knew Crab Walk kicks with a log could suck so bad.
    Welcome Kryptonite!

  9. Nice and creative. Coupons were a welcome addition to the day long beatdown. Post hole diggers were no joke.
