Introduction

  • Please add Cable guy to the website

Double tap Q today. Keeping with my fun theme, I wanted to put together a 30 minute burner, then have some fun with Ultimate Football.

14 HIMs . . . perfect amount!!

Dark Tower is one of my all time favorite AOs . . . not just for the terrain and variety, but for the diverse HIMs that show up. Lets do this . . .

I was coming in a little hot from Early Iron Lion because the Three Amigos had a meeting about fighting injustice throughout the land.  . . . .

The Thang

THANG ONE

Grab your coupons, and mosey to base of the hill

  • Braveheart ladders
  • Chest press coupon as far as you can, then run to it, then back to the starting line
  • Do this ladder all the way up the hill.

At the top, plank for the 6.

Leave your coupons, then sprint to the parking lot, and then back up the hill. Do this TWICE as a group.

Then mosey back down the hill with coupons

THANG TWO

Same as Thang one EXCEPT when you got back to the starting line, alternate between 10 big boy sit ups and 10 merkins

  • Depending on how far you can throw a coupon, this was between 50-70 merkins and big boys while running ladders up and down a hill.

Plank for the 6

THANG THREE

Then run coupons back down the hill and get ropes from my car

  • Tie the rope to your coupon
  • Stretch out the rope up the hill
  • Back to the top of the hill, start pulling the rope hand over hand until the coupon is at your feet.
  • Then stretch out rope and repeat until you get to the top of the hill
  • Then carry coupons back down to the parking lot and leave them.

THANG FOUR

Ultimate Football for 25 minutes

Circle of Trust

CoT was about having FUN. Getting up all the time can be a chore, and doing burpees and bear crawls forever sucks ass. Im trying to make it a point (especially for Saturday Qs) to push HARD for 30 minutes, then have fun and spruce up the second F. I hear legends and myths about the “time before covid” where HIMs would do things like play softball, football, basketball and soccer. Im looking forward to this being a thing again to get those competitive juices flowing . . . Remember men, have FUN when doing these so you stay engaged and keep coming back.

  • Please add Cable Guy to the website

Man . . . I was excited with the group today! An amazing mix of new guys and vets to tackle a hill-based workout.

Observations . .

  • Dingo isnt a big football guy. Ill work on changing that . . .
  • The gnats suuuuuuck
  • lasik is fast as hell . . . He was busting ass on that second round of Braveheart ladders
  • Disclaimer is really good at football. Plus he has some cool ink
  • Cable guy is a freaking tank. Plus his ink is intimidating.
  • Face plants FNG bailed. Good thing  . . . because then we had even numbers for football
  • Hootie immediately volunteered his team to be “skins” for football. I think it was to show off his abs.
  • Wrong Turn, first time posting with him . . . worked HARD all morning!
  • One Bar never stops smiling. Sign up for Frontline OCR brother . . . you are MORE than ready.
  • Harbaugh played a lot of QB for his team . . . but lost. By a lot. Just sayin . . . 😉
  • Townie is deceptively fast, and runs a mean “go” route. But he was foiled a few times by the sun
  • So was I. I felt ashamed.
  • Unicycle . . great to have you out ITG. Incredible work put in today!!!
  • Dingo. Football. Start watching it.
  • Rameses is also very good at football. I thought he might tackle a guy a few times.
  • Aladdin my hermano . . . always always a pleasure to post with you. Cant wait for Frontline! LFG
