PAX: Ramrod, Full Moon, John Doe, WreckedEm (with a W), MIA, Bernie, Choo Choo

AO:Hacksaw

Conditions

Cold, frozen, and covered in ice and snow. However, you wouldn’t know from Ramrod’s insistence that it’s shorts weather.

COP

Various amounts of SSH and stretches. Plus some burpees. Unoriginal.

The Thang

Countdown to the Countdown:

13 of each:
Curls
Presses
Leg Lifts
BBS
Incline merkins
Decline merkins
Squats
Lunges

Do all 13, then when finished, do 12, then 11, so on. Everytime the timer goes off, 5 dips.

Q: Modification for dips?
A: Burpees.
Choo Choo: hellyeah. <proceeds to do burpees in weightvest while somewhere in the distance a bald eagle screams and freedom happens and we win the cold war again>

Pax “enjoyed” some stoner rock.

COT

Shared a story about how yesterday I was consumed with a task at hand, and almost missed an opportunity to pepper my M with snowballs. I am admittedly awful about getting focused on a task and forgetting to actually live in the moment. One day, after I will have spent the entirety of my life making plans, I will realize that I have burned through my youth and the only plan left is to die. Live in the moment, put aside your plans, and take the opportunities as they come.

Moleskin

Pretty sure that this is the first time the term “douchebag” has ever been used during formal prayer requests. Our apologies to the Almighty, but we are thankful for John Doe’s new adventure. Douchebag.

Full Moon forgot about Clutch. Vamanos, vamanos.

Ramrod voiced his displeasure that the PAXs’ Ms don’t respect classic drummers.

Most of the PAX have been through this particular workout before; MIA reminded me that this was unoriginal. I reminded him of the Hacksaw mission statement : World’s most unoriginal AO, where everything is likely to be better somewhere else.

AO: Hacksaw

Conditions

A nice, cool morning… for a regretful situation and a joke that went just a little too far.

COP

Took a lap around the church parking lot, then 33 SSH. Then got down to brass tacks. To the amazing musical poetry otherwise known as “Umbrella,” PAX were introduced to RiRi’s Appreciation Day. While Jay-Z prattles on about, well, whatever Jay-Z “raps” about, PAX did plank jacks. Every time RiRi mentions her rain-deflection device, pax did a burpee. Everytime she describes it as an “ella” or “aaaaay”, it’s a donkey kick. Every time our Bahamian princess mentions rain, PAX did a dive bomber.

The Thang

Pax counted off by fours. Then split into said groups.
Group 1:
Find Love in a Hill-less Place (run to the bottom of the Increased Gravity Zone, find the heart scrawled in chalk, turn around and run to the top of the not-hill)
Group 2:
S(quats) & M(erkins)– 10 squats, 20 Merkins. Focus on form. Repeat ad infinitum.
Group 3:
Rude Boys (gone get it up, I believe) – 10 BBS, 20 LBCs, 30 Flutters. Repeat.
Group 4:
Only Curls in the World– 10 shoulder presses, 20 curls, 10 dips. Repeat until pace group returns.

Groups rotate once hill has been summitted by entirety of the group. Pax then offered another Rihanna fun fact, rinse, repeat x 8.

Circle up.
Shine Bright Like a…
Everytime she says Diamond, do a diamond merkin. Song is much longer than you’d expect, and despite the vast lyrical talents of Katy Perry’s maid of honor, she repeats the word Diamond close to 40 times.

COT

Rihanna Appreciation Day started off as a joke between 9Volt and myself when he played one of her songs at his Q. But merely speaking that into existence turned into an actual thing, and then, well, it happened. What we choose to embrace in our lives is no different. What we praise, and likewise, defame, manifests itself into reality. If you complain about your wife, or your kids, or your job, you will grow to resent them. If you choose to praise, speak positively about them, etc., your love for them will grow. YHC challenged the boys to speak positively about their lives, and to manifest decency.

Moleskin

Of all Rihanna fun facts, PAX favorite was “Umbrella was her first hit, while ex-boyfriend Chris Brown’s biggest hit was, actually, Rihanna.” One pax, who will remain nameless, remarked, “Oh, now I know who she is!” insert BunkMorelandHeadshake.gif

PAX were also astonished to learn that Rihanna didn’t graduate high school. Shocker, that.

Oui Oui expressed disbelief that Rihanna cannot blink. He is still scouring the internet for proof that she can, in GIF form. Godspeed, soldier.

Toe Tag had never heard the lyrics to S&M (“this might be pornography in song form, Wuz”), and we all felt a little ashamed for having played it in a church parking lot. Or for having played it at all, really.

9Volt wears a pair of ‘shorts’ that, while an affront to American iconography, he gleefully admitted “used to be just underwear.” Mentors, ladies and gentlemen.

AO: Hacksaw (Without Hills)

Conditions

Clear. Smooth like an ironing board.

COP

Mosey to the sheriff’s lot.

20 SSH
15 mountain climbers
10 Teapots
Downward Dog
Upward Dog
Third Grades

The Thang

Run to the not a hill .

Since this isn’t a hill, it should be easy to Bearcrawl Boilermaker to the not a top.

Once reaching the end of the street, which is somehow taller and at a significantly higher elevation than the rest of the vast plains of Hacksaw, indian run around the church.

Go back down to the bottom of the hill.
Partner up. One person bernies to the top. Other person does 5 BBS, 10 flutters, 15 mercuries, and 20 LBCs. Sprints to catch his partner up hill. Loser does 10 burpees, winner does LBCs until burpees finished. Swap chaser/pursuer, and do it again.

COT

There is no hill. Whatever obstacle you have, the bigger deal you make it, the more likely you are to lose. Don’t focus on the size of the problem, just conquer it.

Moleskin

John Doe is unimpressed with my mountain climbers.
Pax really enjoyed the flat, boring, Kansas-like terrain of Hacksaw.

We need to support Battery with Qs and Pax for their impending Thursday launch. JD needs help with 3rd F.

The other day, my M told me I looked like crap. She said I looked like I needed rest, and insisted I fartsack on Tuesday morning. She was right. I’ve had a hellacious project wrap up, and my exhaustion showed.

In that moment, my M was not nice, but she was honest. My brother once told me that being nice isn’t a virtue, but that being honest is. I challenge the Pax to surround themselves with people who can be honest with them, and to be honest with others when possible. As men, we tend to think that we should just keep working at something, when in actuality, we can be at risk of exhaustion. I needed to hear what my M had to share. Maybe someone needs to hear you.

Moleskin

Very little mumble chatter. When time was called, I did hear something along the lines of “oh thank God for small victories.” I’ll take it.

Chamber music promised, chamber music delivered during Countarama.
