    Now there’s some Guys Gone Wild!

  2. Tracy says:

    No one told me that we are training for the Pan American Championships. I don’t think I’ll be ready in 10 weeks.

    I’d watch out for these guys on the prison yard.

  3. Baby Ks Momma says:

    Tracy, these guys are probably sweet as pie until you get them on the mat.

    …on friday

  5. Baby Ks Momma says:

    Alan, be careful what you wish for… hee, hee we can’t wait!

  6. Shari says:

    Ooohhh..We get to get them on the mat? O.k. but don’t tell my husband!

  7. Turbo says:

    I have seen these guys train and they are no joke. I usually suck it up when I want to give up because what I am doing is nothing compared to the torture I see Steve putting them through. Good Job Fellas!!!!!!

  8. juliet says:

    turbo and i have watched a few times with our mouths hanging open. and yep, they are as sweet as pie.

  9. kelly says:

    I like pie.

    I think Tracy was clowning on the IC-as-prison-yard joke Juliet originated, not casting aspersions on the good nature of these Guys Gone Wild. There was much muttering about prison breaks during the kettlebell madness of Saturday. Warden almost went down.

    I’m still a little sad no one was topless.

    BTW, for the uninitiated, “BJJ” is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (sp?). Ahem.

  11. juliet says:

    yes, we watch, we gawk, we whistle. well, not whistle. maybe giggle girlishly. and yup, pie is good.

  12. Bear Bear says:

    Wow, look at those muscles. Yummmmmy. When do they train again?

  13. Tracy says:

    Wow – The Ice Chamber IS really like a women’s prison yard. Complete with catcalls. Hey baby…

  14. juliet says:

    i know!!!! it’s like running the gauntlet to get past us ladies.

  15. Tracy says:

    Maybe that should be part of their training regimen — to see if they can pass our guard.

  16. Steven says:

    Okay… this is very disturbing.

  17. Mani says:

    Tracy do you REALIZE what you have just said? I know you know about jiu-jitsu gaurd….You’re right Steve, this is very disturbing…or maybe you need to recruit more male IC members…even the married ones are going crazy!!

  18. Shari says:

    And we women complain about men! (O.k., well I don’t because at my age, any attention is good attention).

  19. Steven says:

    You ladies have just taught all men what it must feel like to pass a construction site with a skirt on. Well done.

  20. Turbo says:

    All I can say is wow! The comments……WOW! Creo que las mujers de IC necesitan mas amor de sus hombres.

  21. kelly says:

    I have been dying over the role reversal here. Women, relegated to the step aerobics classes at most gyms, pump more iron at the IC than Arnold in his heyday. Then a little manflesh is posted, and all of the sudden the ladies catcall and whistle. It’s a special alternate universe, and by god, I love it. Next we’ll be peeing standing up.

    Tracy, I laughed at the guard bit, and I can tell that you were throwing down a funny rather than a bona fide offer. And let’s face it: BJJ is essentially cuddling with intent to dominate. It’s a badass sport, and a snuggly one too.

  22. Baby Ks Momma says:

    Okay Kelly, you just let the secret out that all happy BJJ wives out there don’t speak of, but know in their hearts.  It’s a fabulous sport for so many reasons!

  23. Mani says:

    Yes I know it was meant to be funny, I just had to make a comment on that one;) I love the role reversal here too…I know we can whoop some a**, IC women are one of a kind! I think we need to make more of an effort to recruit more men to our gym….

    Steve, I wonder if these guys have seen our comments? I’m sure they’ll work a lot harder knowing they have IC hotties watching?

  24. juliet says:

    those poor guys, they’ll be there today…in long pants looking all scared.
