A Crafstman In All Of Us
YHC forgot about his Q at WIB until a group of regulars messaged YHC asking where it would be. “Let me guess, Sears?” quipped Turnover. Why yes, yes, indeed. YHC enjoys the simplicity of the “Craftsman” format. High distance and high rep count, everyone wins! As a bonus, we had a flatbed trailer in the parking lot at our disposal to mix it up!

- YHC took us out giving thanks for the role model men in this group, that set a godly example for YHC on how to be a better man, husband, brother, father.
NMM
- PAX either got up to 40 or 45 reps, for 180 or 225 reps of each, and 2.25-2.5 miles.
- On lap one YHC declared “Watch out for that bump!” and on lap two Offsides found it. He took a good tumble, but had solid form with a great tuck and roll and proceeded through the whole workout like you’d expect from a youthful Hate hate, not a Respect! Glad he was okay!
- YHC and Huck took an early lead, and held a plank after the 5th loop to sync the group back up; “Are they lost?” YHC asked, “You should have checked the bushes!” (For danger) Huck quipped! Really appreciated being able to run with Huck this morning, even though I know when I say HE was pushing the pace, he’ll lie and say it was YHC.
- We all circled up in a plank and YHC Omaha’d with Derkins til failure and then switch to Irkins, and we kept on chugging alone.
- The flatbed was a nice bonus compared to our usual Craftsman, which always includes American HAMMERs and BOOTStrap squats, because those are clearly Handyman related things.
- Zima was clearly sandbagging before since he proceeded to the lead the way the rest of the workout. Was nice to catch the 3rd workout of the week with Zima after too many workouts apart!
- Dr. Decay seemed unphased by the whole workout, and Dr. Toot says he’s a “techy” guy so YHC has high hopes for him to stick around!
- Workbench has been putting in miles training for the Mistletoe and it showed, as he breezed through this beatdown like the 2.5 miles were nothing.
- About halfway through the workout an Uber dropped someone off near our bear crawl path and low and behold it was a truck driver for another flatbed parked near our path. YHC almost used that truck as our bear crawl marker… good thing that didn’t happen, because the PAX would have been upset to miss out on the rest of the bear crawls!
Thanks for coming out, men, YHC enjoyed it!
