Shelter From The Storm

Event Date

Feb 12, 2019


Six men made it out on a Tuesday in search of a work out while simultaneously seeking shelter from the storm in response to some cryptic Bob Dylan lyrics referenced in the pre-blast. After a lengthy discussion, amnesty was granted to the Pax.

Nada. No time left

  • Tried and trusted rainy day exercise at the Quarry whilist being sheltered from the elements. Iron sharpens iron, but with the cold and flu season upon us you can take any chances with dampness

  • By my unofficial count that is 90 reps of ‘Mericans, Squats, LBC’s and Burpees with some running.Not so sheltered indeed

  • Double Double apparently did a six to nine month stretch at Folsom Prison on some trumped up charges. Making the most out of this situation, he learned some good calisthenics moves during his rec time there that he shared

  • The “jail style” squat involves clasping ones hands together on ones head during the down and then up act of the squat

  • On occasions past, some of the aces that come up during the workout get buried and never used. Not today, happy to report that we finished all of them

  • We got to learn the genesis of the recently endowed Blowhole moniker for Trevor. His dad is really proud. And it sounds like the nickname is a real badge of honor at his work. They think it’s glorious

  • One word of the day today was moist

  • Q had a good checkup and has no hernia to report. He got hisself some ab symmetry

  • Another word of the day today was Loins

  • Prayers lifted up for the Wiley family who are going through a cancer treatment for Kevin after his wife had a cancer treatment two years ago

  • Great work men!
