  • Happy birthday ShortBus – RESPECT! – from Hokie

    We were fortunate when Ethanol called several weeks ago to let us know he would be down range and would step up to Q

    As 0450 approached, we were descended upon by a Lakeview car of @Kuch and an FNG, Adam Vondonavich

    Shortly thereafter my eyes I thought were deceiving me as the next car approaching looked like the driver was none other than Tanner!

    As it turns out Tanner, Kuch and our FNG all came to pay respect to the birthday boy, ShortBus, who allegedly consumer golden beverages at Germain delight.

  • YHC at the OG – from Fracsac

    YHC hasn’t been to the West Bank in some time, so a visit was in order. The Pax eagerly handed the Q of the OG to YHC.

    Short Bus, Slinger, FireFox, and T-Square were ready for what YHC had in store….so a disclaimer was given.

    Warmup consisted of regular stuff, minus The Moroccan Night Club, which was noticed and YHC was happy to hear! That will be fixed in the future!

    The Pax was a bit quiet, in need of Motivation!

    Motivator!! (Want more info? Just ask!)

    Mosey to the top of the levee for Route 66 with burpees.

    We couldn’t stop at just 66, so add 4 for 70.

    Mosey to the river steps for sets of incline merkins, step ups, box jumps, and dips.

    Back to the flag for some more cardio, Embrace the Suck! 7 SSH, 7 Merkins and 7 Bobby Hurleys over and over for 3 minutes. Goal was 8 rounds, some got close.

    Finish off with Mary, with a little Pax Choice.
