Since Beverly’s wishes for Flatline were nonstop movement, YHC often reverts to a WIB-style structure. Often it’s because YHC isn’t smart enough on how to keep things moving while giving instructions. Still not any smarter, but coming off a vacation where 0 exercise happened and YHC was already in less than stellar cardio conditioning, wanted…
This morning YHC decided to educate the PAX on Ella Wheeler Wilcox’ poem “Solitude” as a reflection on the AO name “Flatline.” The portion of the poem utilized is as follows: Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can…
6 Pax showed up for a fast moving Flatline beatdown. 72 degrees and 90% humidity made for a particularly sultry morning as we left the parking lot sharply at 5:30 with NO warm up per Flatline rules. Our first adventure was to head to down 1st Street ( I think it’s 1st st) to the…
Follow instructions on cardboard and do as many rounds as you can. A few got in 7 rounds (140 of each exercise) most got 6 rounds (105 of each exercise). Over 1 mile was run by all. I don’t recall any mumble chatter. I’m sure there was some but my heavy breathing prevented me…
Going into this morning’s Flatline surprise visit (CP & Beverly switched Q’s under the cover of darkness), Cherry Pie was prepared to be the sole Q. It quickly became evident to the pax that Mother Nature had a different design in mind. Indeed, she threw a healthy portion of humidity on top of an already…
As I suspected, the morning after a long weekend to bring summer in was not a very popular time to post! 3 was the number to be for our little morning at Flatline. Still a strong group of men! The Thang Mosey to Corpening Plaza Killer B’s 10 Burpees 20 Bonnie Blairs 10-Big Boy sit…
As I arrived, it was hard not to notice the caliber of PAX that had arrived, and I will admit, I was a bit intimidated. Super high end executioners up and down the line. With a last inhale of good air, introductions were made and we were off….. 10 burpees on the spot waiting on…
8 pax showed up ready to work. As w/ another of my previous #Flatline Q’s, YHC reminded the pax that even though ‘flat’ – we could still climb some mountains. THAT THANG We don’t warm up @ #Flatline baby! A “Dynamic” Mosey down Second toward Poplar (high-knees, butt-kickers, Apollo Creeds (L&R)), and stop along the…
While YHC didn’t check the history of Q’s at Flatline, I do believe it may have been my first Q there, the more you know. After a detailed conversation about the cost of wet suits it was time to start. As many wise Q’s had told me you need to keep moving at Flatline, so…
A beautiful morning greeted 9 hearty Pax rearing to go at Flatline. Imperial Storm Troopers, because how else you start off a workout on May 4? Mosey to wall in parking lot. OYO for a while: SSH, Iron Mikes, Jump Squats, Groiners, Mike Tysons…and Murder Bunny all the way across the parking lot. (And yes,…
Flatline is designed to be a high tempo beatdown with no rest. This morning YHC attempted to put together my best plan to keep the PAX moving and heart rates up. Growing up Saturday morning wrestling was part of my childhood. In middle school and high school my dad and I would tune into the…
