32 men entered a soggy gloom this morning at the #brickpile ready for a tag-team #convergence. Stilts and YHC prepared hard for a solid workout and the pax were happy to oblige. After a fast start at the initial COP and some running courtesy of a modified and hill-less Jacob’s Ladder, the pax split up …
A cool gentle ran greeted the 29 faithful who arose before dawn to work out the stresses of the week with some Brickpile beatdown. Rivet was given the duties for the first time, and he came well prepared. The Thang: Warm up run COP Side straddle hop – 25 Imperial Walker – 20 Merkins – …
37 men (including 1 FNG) invaded the grounds of DHS on Tuesday where Windmill was prepared with another creative beatdown. His parking-lot focused workout proved you don’t have to travel much for a solid beat down. The Thang: Parking lot Side straddle hops Shoulder circles x-man’s tricep press w/ bricks 21’s w/ bricks Shoulder raises …
11 pax converged at #Ironyard at the Brickpile for a detailed and painful tutorial on the many ways of using a Kettlebell (KB). If our lesson a few weeks ago from Swinger was 101, this session proved to be an excruciating Bells 102 course led by Homewrecker with more KB moves than thought possible. The …
44 pax converged at Dreher on Saturday, most knowing Dredd would Q but few knowing what that meant. The Thang: I’m not going to begin to try to re-create the workout on paper, and I’m relatively certain Dredd couldn’t either. After the 1-minute warning, where 44 guys were standing and stretching and chatting in the …
12 Pax with 1 FNG greeted CessPool’s virgin Q and he did not disappoint. The merkin a-rama along with toting bricks most of the morning was a real crowd pleaser. At one point in the morning there was 1 Pax that asked if CessPool was related to Termite? Another Pax then was quoted as saying …
The August dawn broke over 28 faithful Columbia men as Termite began his virgin Q. He apparently believes the bricks at — ummm — the Brickpile don’t get enough attention. His first instruction was “grab two bricks and follow me.” Most of the exercises below were done with bricks in hand. Conditions: 72 degrees and …
Nine men joined for the inaugural kettle bell workout at #Brickpile following our introduction to the bells last week by Swinger and Robber. The 3×3 interval workout proved to be brutal. Some of the pax were heard naming our Wednesday workout #Ironyard at the Brickpile. Similar to the bricks and blocks, the bells took no …
Labor Day, the day that, in contrast to its name, is characterized by as little labor as possible. It is a day of laziness highlighted by beer and boating. One entire 24 hour period to abandon the rigors of a normal Monday work day and instead find something completely frivolous to occupy our lives. F3 …
34 pax assembled at The Brickpile as Heartbreaker took his turn at Q. His theme: show up and deliver. And he did. The Thang: Warm-up jog to lower field. Don’t trip over #BaggerVance. COP: SSH X 25 Merkins X 15 LBC X 20 Up / Downs X 12 Freddie Mercury X 15 Boat / Canoe …
