Pit of Misery! Dilly dilly!
QIC: Turnover
Date: 2.4.26
PAX: @Burlap (WD) ; @Closer ; @Bluto ; @Interference ; @woodpecker ; @Lemming ; @Starfish ; @Rubber Ducky ; @Singing Cowboy ; @bam ; @Turnover (WB, Q)
YHC did some recon work yesterday and determined that the regular location for #BnW was still too dicey to hold this week’s installment there. Initiate quick (see: selfish) pivot to Old Town Baptist Church parking lot. Super clear, super big, and super close to YHC’s domicile. With the location confirmed, it was time to put a plan in place.
The plan was inspired by how YHC and my M (and I’m sure many other parents in the WSFCS district) have been feeling this week after 7 8 going on 8 9 (possibly 10) straight days of our 2.0s’ school being cancelled due to weather/road conditions. Down, down, down into deep despair. Hence the theme and title of today’s beatdown:
The Pit of Misery
Let’s see what went down (lol, get it??)
0525: Ruckers return to the lot from their…uh, ya know…ruck.
0528: @Burlap pulls into the parking lot next to YHC, but with his car facing the opposite direction (aka our driver side windows were next to each other) and in so doing parks his car approx 4 inches away from mine. Some might say “wow, 4 inches? that’s not a very big distance at all!!” but YHC would argue that 4 inches is an average to above average distance.
0529: YHC shimmies out of his car whilst trying not to dent/damage @Burlap’s fancy Lexus #BoujeeBurlap
0530: We get it started…
Warm o Rama – The Usual Suspects
The THANG
PAX were to perform exercises listed on the weinke with descending #’s of reps (down the Pit of Misery) and once they reached the bottom (some might say “rock bottom”) they would ascend back up the Pit of Misery with a different set of exercises in ascending #’s of reps. All the while we had an EMOM timer set for 4 minutes. Every 4 minutes, PAX dropped their bells (or blocks if you’re cool) and ran around the side of the church to the car ports and back. Repeato until time is called. Here’s what the Pit of Misery entailed:
Down ↓
KB Swings x50
Curls x40
Rows x30
OH Press x20
Burpees x10
Up ↑
Burpees x10 (Let the record show that everyone loved this part and thought it was a great idea.)
Tri Ext / Skull Crusher x20
Chest Press / Merkin x30

Once you completed the LBCs x50, start over with KB Swings x50 and repeat the Pit of Misery.

YHC tweaked his back approx 12 seconds into the first round of KB swings, so I was drifting in and out of consciousness all morning and as a result didn’t catch a ton of the MC that went down.
Vaguely recall Closer sharing how he too had tweaked his back in an extremely manly way. Can’t recall exactly how he said it happened, but it definitely DID NOT happen as he was bending over from his computer chair to tie his shoe. That 100% was NOT the case.
Related: Ducky shared a story of how one of his co-workers TORE HIS MENISCUS while sneezing. It’s a treacherous world we live in, my middle-aged brethren. Head on a swivel, boys.
Caught snippits of Lemming reporting on a recent trip to the Northeast quadrant of the contiguous United States. Results appeared to be positive, albeit chilly.
Due to aforementioned loss of consciousness, YHC did not even realize that THE Singing Cowboy was in attendance until roughly 0558. Always a treat to have TSC in attendance. And even after he Q’d his infamous Flatline beatdown yesterday. Guy’s an animal.
Burlap was there, posted up next to YHC during the beatdown, and as I can always count on him for, he seemed to be supportive of YHC’s selection of musical accompaniment. That is always my biggest concern when Q’ing BnW.
Starfish was out front ALL morning. #stud
Bam was present for the ruck and graced us with his site Q presence until about 0600 when (I’m guessing) he just got fed up with the music and decided to leave.
Lastly, here’s the link to the actual source of the “Pit of Misery” reference. Still hilarious.
It’s always an honor to lead a workout. This time was no different. Thanks to all who posted. Bam, I buried the keys in one of the snow piles in the church parking lot.
