Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

Date: November 15, 2025
AO: Arrowhead – Where the birds come to judge us 🐦
Weather: Crisp 45Β°F, stupid clear, birds were straight-up chirping like they paid for front row seats 🐀πŸŽͺ
PAX (6 absolute legends): Futon, Chicken Jockey, Copy Machine, Bolt, Jobs, Jake (fashionably late, as is tradition) πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨
QIC: Jake – the madman who brought cinder blocks to a perfectly good Saturday


Warm-O-Rama πŸŽͺ

We circled up for prayer like responsible adults… and then waited the ceremonial 90 seconds for Jake to roll in hot, Bluetooth speaker blazing like he’s headlining Coachella 🎢😭

  • Imperial Walkers – because we’re fancy 🀡
  • Hillbilly Walkers – yee-haw energy activated πŸŒΎπŸ„
  • Lil Baby Arm Circles forward & backward – we looked like a malfunctioning boy band πŸ€–
  • Sticky Butt Kickers – yes, they were extra sticky today. Don’t ask. πŸ―πŸ‘
  • Willie Mays Hayes – because nothing says β€œgood morning” like touching your toes while Jake finally picks the playlist ⚾🎀

The Thang: β€œLadder of Pain Sponsored by Cinder Blocks” πŸͺœπŸ§±πŸ’€

Mosey to the flagpole like a pack of caffeinated wolves. Coupons were acquired. Regrets were immediate.

Round 1 – The Leg Murder Edition:

  • 10 Step-ups each leg w/ block overhead (arms screaming after #3) 😡
  • Lap around Short Hill (birds laughing)
  • 10 Zebra Kicks each leg (Chicken Jockey may have actually crowed) πŸ¦“πŸ“
  • Lap
  • 9 Step-ups each leg overhead (arms now officially noodles) 🍜
  • Lap
  • 9 Zebra Kicks (Copy Machine started making photocopies of his pain face) πŸ–¨οΈ
  • Down to 8s… because mercy is apparently a thing

Round 2 – Back & Chest Annihilation:

  • Deadlift into Upright Row x10 (with coupon, obviously) πŸͺ¦
  • Lap
  • 10 Dips
  • 9 Deadlift-Rows (Jobs started negotiating with the block)
  • Lap
  • 9 Dips… down to 8 because we’re not monsters (okay, maybe a little)

Round 3 – The β€œWhy Do We Do This To Ourselves?” Finisher:

  • Squat β†’ Overhead Press x10 (legs + shoulders = bad romance) πŸ’”
  • Lap
  • 10 Australian Snow Angels (because nothing says suffering like making snow angels on cold concrete while dying) β˜ƒοΈπŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί
  • Rinse and repeat until time (or until Bolt threatened to throw his block into traffic)

No Mary. We didn’t have time for Mary. Mary ghosted us. Typical. πŸ‘»

Moleskin – Jake Dropped Some Wisdom Bombs πŸ’£

Jake closed us out with a word that hit harder than the coupons: In this crazy busy season, don’t forget to be thankful for the little things β€” the crisp air, the idiot birds chirping, the fact that your arms still kinda work, and the brothers stupid enough to show up and suffer with you. Gratitude is the cheat code to staying happy when life’s trying to run you over. πŸ¦ƒβ€οΈ

Seriously though, proud of every one of you animals. Chicken Jockey almost became actual poultry on those zebra kicks. Futon carried his block like it owed him money. Copy Machine made 47 copies of his β€œI’m fine” face. Absolute studs. πŸ€œπŸ€›

Announcements

None. We’re too tired for life. 😴

#SYITG – We’ll do it all again next week, because pain is temporary but bragging rights are forever πŸ†πŸ”₯πŸ“
