Thirteen randomly dressed middle aged men assembled near the high pitched hissing generator for today’s 45 Minutes of Mary. Many wondered if it would be 45 minutes of merkins given the gauntlet thrown by El Doctor on the other side of the river. Alas, no gluttony, just a healthy dosage of merkins. Mosey over near 2nd base on the blacktop for today’s rendition of COP which went something like this: SSH x25Merkin x1Copperhead Squats x10Clerkins x2Imperial Walkers x15Werkins x3Russian Soldiers x10Stagger Merkins x4Arm circles x10 (no big ones)Stagger Merkins x5Mountain Climbers x10Merkins x6LBCs x20Clerkins x7Jump Squats x10Werkins x8Helicopters x10Stagger Merkins…

Three strong men showed up for another off the books kettle bell workout at Midlo Middle on a Monday morning. Still being an unofficial AO, YHC coordinated and took the Q. Not having any terribly original ideas, YHC just looked at the most recent Circus Maximus BB and shamelessly copied the workout with some alterations. Here’s how it went down: Farmer’s carry to the front NW corner of the school. COP: SSHs (to get things moving)JazzerciseCherry PickersHelicopters The Thang: A Beast with Bells Using the front of the school (~100 yards), and stopping at 3 spots down and back for…

The Mighty Nein met in the parking lot at DaVille this morning for some Gloom shenanigans. Parking lot tracers to get the blood pumping followed by what promised to be a No Idea and Mudface friendly workout. Neither were in attendance, but we perservered anyways. We made our way over to the middle school track, stopping at the bus parking lot for some warmup COP. It was Beulah’s first bootcamp workout, and second F3 gathering. Good on ya, brother! Hail and well met! We took a minute to give him a proper disclaimer then made our way over to the…
