of Irony"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the reasons that I enjoy working out with Cheesesteak is because of his creativity.\u00a0 While the rest of the PAX (myself included) are good little lemmings and generally follow the Q\u2019s directions, Cheesesteak does whatever the hell he wants, whenever the hell he wants.\u00a0 I can maybe count on one hand the number of times that I\u2019ve seen him do the actual called exercise.\u00a0 Although some of his modifications are due to injury, most of them are just to make the workout harder.\u00a0 Sheesh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So a few weeks ago as I was struggling through whatever the Q had assigned, I looked over and saw Cheesesteak effortlessly doing something not even remotely resembling what the rest of us were, but would have been monumentally harder for normal human beings.\u00a0 I announced that I had an idea for a Cheesesteak-themed beatdown and jokingly asked when his birthday was.\u00a0 He responded by telling me that it was November 13 and he had the Q at Urban Assault, which he all too gladly allowed me to hijack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now I had to follow through.\u00a0 I had a theme, but I needed to build a workout.\u00a0 The theme would be modification.\u00a0 Since the guest of honor always modifies, then we would all modify &#8230; to whatever he was doing.\u00a0 Therefore, knowing full well of his current limitations due to injury (which by the way, does not stop him from posting), the jerkoff Q (read: me) filled a workout with exercises Cheesesteak couldn\u2019t do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s where it gets fun.\u00a0 Karma took a big old frying pan and smacked me right in the face.\u00a0 Then, just to prove it\u2019s point, it dropped an anvil on my head and stuck some TNT down my throat.\u00a0 You know what they say, \u201ckarma is a b&#8212;-\u201d.\u00a0 So why is this so ironic?\u00a0 Well, it just so happens that I have recently suffered what I term as a minor boo boo on my knee and have had to heavily modify many exercises for the past few weeks.\u00a0 Oh, that karma!\u00a0 I spend all of this time poking good-natured fun at Cheesesteak and on the day I am going to Q a workout all about HIS modifications, I am forced to modify most of the exercises.\u00a0 I don\u2019t care who you are, that\u2019s funny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So again, the rule of the beatdown was to modify each exercise however Cheesesteak is modifying it.\u00a0 Good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Happy Birthday to the young man who completed his 42 year today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Warmarama.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SSH<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (while everyone laughed at the Q trying to do them)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Whirly with the Clap<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (until Cheesesteak just stopped moving so we all stopped moving)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Warmup is boring.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Beatdown.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cheesesteak likes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CYCLING<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, so most of the PAX <\/span><b>Reverse Pelotoned<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to train tracks.\u00a0 Once there, do <\/span><b>42 Pullups<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0 For those that needed to take a break, do <\/span><b>42 Cheesesteak Penguin Crunches<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and then return to the pullups.\u00a0 This was modified to <\/span><b>Hanging with One Arm <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and then quickly Omaha\u2019ed when it was realized that Cheesesteak was the only one who could do a one arm hang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Given it was his day, we brought Cheesesteak down into the Coal Pit for an early morning celebration, perhaps a precursor to the festivities that would take place 12 hours later.\u00a0 There, we presented him with a stack of thoughtful gift cards.\u00a0 Each card had two exercises and a mode of transportation on it relating to an aspect of the fine young gentleman\u2019s life.\u00a0 The idea was for the birthday boy to pick a card, then the PAX would travel from around Incendiary the entire length of the pit to the wall, do the first exercise, travel back to the Incendiary area, and complete the second exercise.\u00a0 I believe we made it to Card #6, but remember we had to modify in whatever way Cheesesteak did, so in no way shape or form did we do anything that resembled the carefully thought out cards with facts relating to this special guy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gift
