8 stations of pain courtesy of the Trailer of Pain
All Highlands BackblastsDecember 9th, 2019
As YHC was preparing to Q yesterday and tallied the votes, the Trailer of Pain won hands down over a traditional Mettle beatdown. Therefore the Trailer of Pain was loaded last night and left in the driveway overnight and a “12 PAX” showed up to put the goodies to good use this AM. So far, Highland Creek security and/or HOA have not complained about the Masterpiece parked in the driveway overnight which leads you to question how much patrolling they are doing? Of maybe Highland Creek security recognizes the Trailer of Pain from the frequent appearance at the Sportsclub.
The PAX came in this morning looking like the workout was being held in Alaska. Even @overdraft had long pants (actually leggings he borrowed from his wife). As YHC told the PAX, it didn’t take long for article of clothing to come off. Shoot YHC took off his F3 “Tuque” aka stocking cap or beanie. Since this is written by a Canadian, this morning it is a Tuque, Sacré Bleu!
A full disclaimer was given relieving Sportsclub, HC, and Canada from any liability. We then moseyed to roundabout, doing but kickers, which at that time @hugo showed up. We circled up for warmarama.

3. Air squats x10
4. Weed Picker x15

2. Bucket Squats

6. Tire deadlift
7. Ab Wheel
8. Sled pull / push
We did 3 rounds of the above circuit and moseyed over to the Monkey Bar after round 2 and 3 to go around the full Monkey Bar circle. Some PAX modified as needed and walk around the Monkey Bars convincing themselves that Monkey Bars are for small PAX. The thing is that you are supposed to be able to carry your own weight or your own s#@$! As @othello says it Jersey stile, don’t be a P@%%&! After the 3rd round and the Monkey Bar, we circled up for Marry.
MARRY
1. Circle MedBall roll x4
2. MedBall Mason twist pass around X2

- Great work by the 12 PAX! As @disaster said, it was heavy on legs today! I am sure you will also feel your abs from ab wheel, power plank and Marry!
- Thanks for the PAX to assist with picking up the toys! Très apprécié!
- YHC kicked his own butt as you could tell in name-o-rama where YHC forgot to say his own name! LOL
- Gremlin is January 18th! Sign up to honor one of our fallen brother and show his family what an impact he had on others. Some suggested a fund raiser for the family, especially the children. I believe it is a great idea and encourage all of us to dig deep in our heart and pocket book and donate generously. That is how we pay back for all those free workout. Remember that Jesus had a real soft spot for the widows, orphans, and those not as fortunate.
- Hats off to @dropcloth for partnership with @the stig on the partner wheelbarrow. That is some heavy lifting! Luckily, my wheelbarrow made it back all in one piece 🙂
- Of course, Time Lapse was mentioned and will happen in May. @barrister will be the coordinator once again.
- There has been some mumblechatter about possible convergence on New Years Day. Let disaster know if that is something of interest.
- Travelling this week and will be back Friday. I also have the Q for Cardio and will bring some props. No running but i promise to get the heart rate elevated!
- As always, what a pleasure it was to lead this fine group this morning!
Have a great week!
