Introduction

Time to build some muscle. A lot of running lately has me itching for a gunday.

The Bear needs more love from people and more Q variety . . . step up your game men. You cant expect the same 6 guys to keep Qing. Its a fun AO and a great group of men. LFG

 

Feeling saucy so I brought extra big boy coupons for everyone that wanted to level up.

Slept like crap so I got there early for a 1.25 mile EC run with a weighted vest. yay for running.

 

Beaker is used to running at La Grange. Im scared I broke him.

DICE ROLL

Pax roll dice to find out what order the exercises are in.

Each exercise is AMRAP until a PAX hits 100 reps (or 50 each arm for single arm movements)

EXERCISES

  • Incline “prayer press” (winner Nair)
  • Bent over rows (Winner Ronda)
  • Skull crushers (winner brother bluto)
  • Dark Tower chest press (winner Dorn)
  • Penny pincher Single arm rows (Dorn)
  • Single arm chest press (winner WiaB)
  • Curls (winner brother bluto . . . despite some questionable form. 🙂 )
  • Lying lat pullovers (winner Dorn)
  • Single Arm Curls (winner WiaB)
  • Big Boy sit ups (winner Hot Box)
  • Lying leg lifts (winner Ronda)

Then farmers carry 30 yards to playground in one hand, then switch to the other for the walk back.

Circle of Trust

CoT is about the Iron Pax Challenge in September.

IPC is about mental toughness and not letting your mind beat you. I encourage veryone to sign up if you havent already, and be sure to post on Wednesdays for the challenge. The positive energy and brotherhood this week for “week zero” was incredible, and brings out the best in the HIMs of Naperville. Steel your mind and get those competitive juices flowing . . . see you ITG.

Random musings for this morning

  • Great meeting Shoeless, beaker, bumblebee and Morgan Freeman from La Grange today!
  • I guess La Grange does a lot of running. They were not prepared for coupons, let along big boy coupons.
  • Except for Bluto. That guy is a tank.
  • I think beaker almost broke. Sorry Beaker.
  • Most HIMs leveled up to big boys and kicked ass.
  • Hot Box is very good at ab exercises.
  • Dorn is slightly competitive
  • So is Ronda
  • So is Bluto
  • Everyone needs to work on hamstring flexibility. The leg lifts were sloppy all around, until I saw everyone has trouble at the top of the movement. Tight hamstrings are to blame . .  . more BROGA!
  • People may look at Urban Cowboy and assume since he is so tall and lean that he cant do heavy exercises. WRONG. He was throwing around a Big Boy coupon with ease.
  • Bluto must have ate his wheaties this morning, becasue he got right up in Dorns face for head to head curls. Dorn thought it was adorable.
  • Sneaky nair back in the corner just pumping out reps like clockwork . . .
  • GREAT seeing Hot BOx again . . . been too long brother.
  • Ronda is ALWAYS up for a strength Q (as long as its not too heavy shoulders . . . which is up my alley too). You had better get your game face on if you are going head to head with this HIM on anything strength related . . . all business baby!!
  • iF YOU HAVENT BEEN TO THE BEAR . . . WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?!?!
