-Al Gore's, Introduction, Disclaimer
-SSH/21's. Everybody stopped on 21, impressively considering Slick took off his sweatshirt mid-exercise and Fro-zone was off beat by 2 steps.
-Chumbaburpee: To the tune of the late 90's hit, Tubthumping by Chumbawamba, a burpee was performed at each "I got knocked down", as part of being man "we get up again", and "nothing is ever gonna keep us down." During the chorus, the pax duck walked in a circle as they were pissing the night away (another part of being a man).
-Mosey'ed to the school.
Tha Thang:
Once at the school, the pax had to buy-in to get to the main portion of the workout. The buy-in consisted of:
-10 8 count body builders IC
-20 4 count T Hand Release Merks IC
The workout consisted of 6 stations, and a sprinter as a timer. Pax rotated through being the sprinter and the 6 stations. The sprinter the first iteration time through the gauntlet wore a speed parachute, and ran 4 60 yard dashes before all pax rotated. The other 6 stations:
-Ab Wheel Roll-out
-Battle Rope
-Man-Maker 1 arm dumbbell row plus push-up (starting from plank, row with left arm, row with right arm, merk)
-Weighted squats (35 or 25 lbf options)
-Weighted lunges (35 or 25 lbf options)
-Box Jump or Set-up on variable height box
After one time through all the stations, the pax lined up for a cardio interlude: one suicide with cones at 20, 40, 60, and 80 yards.
Once the suicide was complete, the pax rested, and prepared for one more rapid fire round through the stations. Same stations were used, but the timer this time wore the agility plate carrier with 20 pounds, and ran 2 60 yard sprints down and back.
After the second round was complete, the pax had to perform a cash-out before if it was desired to exit the gauntlet and be able to go about the day. The cash-out consisted of the same exercises as the buy-in:
-10 8 count body builders IC
-20 4 count Hand Release Merks IC
But all pax left with more than they cashed in as completed this workout contributed to us being a little bit better men.
Moseyed back to the flag.
COT:
-Prayers for Bogey's family friend and family as he battles complications from Covid.
-Continued prayers for each of us to help lead in the community and find the grace and good in people to help make everybody around us a little better.
YHC was humbled for the opportunity to come down the road and lead such a strong group of young men that are so enjoyable to be around. When YHC started, there's no way he could have done this workout, so it was to come over, put on some pants, take off the bra, and be men together.
