Leaving a mark
All The Dawg House BackblastsJuly 12th, 2024
Q: Honey Do
PAX: Guinness, hop_hunter, Buck, Slash, turbine, Grassy Knoll, Overdrive, Kojak, Spaz, Ticonderoga, Dawghouse MASH, daisydukes, Iron City, talladega, Honey Do, Tryout
FNGs: None
COUNT: 16
16 came together for what was guaranteed to be a good time. I took this week as an Iron Q to leave my last full week mark on the Dawghouse, but after being there all week, the mark was left on me. The love and support I’ve felt from y’all is unmatched. The guys that jumped at the chance to help us move, the ones that were there everyday, the ones that planned a 2nd F after the beatdown, to the ones that showed up at a send off get together… I’m at a loss for words. I can say, the humidity may have caused my eyeballs to sweat a bit, especially after being prayed over. The perks of being an emotional fella, which is no surprise to those that know me well. All I can say is thank you for being more than a workout group, you are all true HIMs! Anyways, enough with the mushy stuff, we did work.
WARMUP: IST, Clapping Penny Pickers (you’re welcome), Toy Soldiers, Merkins, SSH
THE THANG: Señor Pecho Grande returns! Rules laid out, 10 Merkins per call, everyone has to say Mr. Big Chest at least once… but as always there is one that has to be banned from calling it anymore (he eeked in 6 calls). Mosey to the courtyard.
7-12-24 beatdown
Round 1:
7 Mike Tysons, 12 Split Squats, 24 Atomic Crunches, Run the courtyard loop, repeato once more.
Round 2:
7 Derkins, 12 Step Ups, 24 LBC, run the courtyard loop, repeato.
Round 3:
7 Dips, 12 Squats, 24 RBC, run the courtyard loop, repeato
Mosey to the parking lot to drop BOMBS, gasser style.
Line 1 – 5 Burpees
Line 2 – 10 Overhead Claps
Line 3 – 15 Merkins
Line 4 – 20 Big Boy Situps
Line 5 – 25 Squats
Mosey to the ticket booth.
MARY: Homer to Marge Medley with Low Flutter and Hello Dolly, Pretzel Crunch and one last Mr Bug Chest call from Iron City (yes, I encouraged it).
For those counting at home, we got close to 300 Merkins in, if you did them all. 140 on everyone making 1 call. 20 at warm up. 15 in BOMBS, 28 in the courtyard work. And then the sadistic abusers that called an additional 10 or so MBCs throughout. So if my math is right, 303. Go ahead do 10 more for Señor Pecho Grande!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Afton 6 year, August 3rd
Food packing event, later August?, see slack or shooter for more details.
COT: Humbled as Buck prayed over YHC with all of my brother’s surrounding.
This isn’t goodbye, there’s no way it can be. I’ll make a surprise showing at the Dawghouse, I can guarantee I’d do that, but I’ll have to swing by Afton on Saturdays to do training runs. So you can’t get rid of me that easy. But, in all seriousness, find those men out there that need this, the mark has been left on me. I don’t know what I’d be doing if I hadn’t found you guys. You have helped me be a better leader, person, father, husband and friend. Others need that, others want that, even if they don’t realize it yet. Thank you guys for everything!
