Episode 178: Ode to PBS

It was barely sunrise when 9 cowpokes gathered at the edge of town. They came for the sweat, but what they found was a tribute. A tribute to a man long gone but not forgotten—a man named PBS. Now, nobody’s sayin’ he’s dead… just that the fella’s been ridin’ trails unseen for a spell.

So we did what any respectable frontier fitness gang would do—we paid our respects the only way we know how: with pain and grumblin’.

THE THANG

The Gauntlet of Light Poles (a.k.a. The PBS Tribute Trail)

Each round began with a 5 pull-up buy-in at the gallows (read: playground). Then it was off to the Light Pole Outpost:

1. Pole One: 10 Merkins
2. Pole Two: 10 Merkins, 20 Lateral Squats
3. Pole Three: 10 Merkins, 20 Lateral Squats, 30 Lunges
4. Pole Four: 10 Merkins, 20 Lateral Squats, 30 Lunges, 40 Squats

Note to all you greenhorns: Lateral squats and lunges were R+L=1… which caused more bellyachin’ than a busted water pump in the Mojave.

Each trip to a pole meant returnin’ to the gallows for another round of pull-ups. Ain’t no shortcuts on the PBS Trail. That’d be uncivilized.

The Hill: Where Legends Are Made (and Calves Are Broken)

After the dust settled at the poles, the PAX mounted up and headed to Pain Ridge.

Two rounds:

• 10 Imperial Squat Walkers at the base (looked ridiculous, felt worse)
• Everest to the midpoint (lunge right + squat + lunge left + repeat until morale disappears)
• 20 Mountain Climbers
• Bernie Sanders to the fourth tree (politics optional)
• Run to the tippy top for 5 Mike Tysons
• Recovery walk down to contemplate life choices

By the end, shirts were soaked, legs were smoked, and respect was paid. Floppy, who’d been runnin’ solo through the hills like a mysterious drifter, joined us at the end for the roll call. He didn’t say much, but he tipped his hat.
