Based on YHC's research, House of Pain launched 8/19/15. The only evidence of this is from a note in the backblast from Devil's Ridge on 8/17/15. Then, until January 2016, there are no backblasts. Finally a few start to trickle in, and oof, they are tough. Seems back then everyone had kettlebells or dumbbells, so a few of those early ones would be tough to repeat. However, YHC found one from a young fella named @Amphibious that looked ambitious and brutal… ( https://f3churham.com/running-with-your-baby/ )
WARMUP:
SSHx20, Imperial Walker x 10, Willie Mays Hays x 10, Cadre Overhead Claps x 20, Merkins x 30 (what? 30 merkins in warm up, what was he thinking???)
Split up between bootcamp and KBs.
THE THANG:
Mosey around the Church and then over to the steel for a "don't drop the baby" 4 corners workout.
1st Corner – 25 curls together, single count
Sprint to next corner with baby
2nd Corner – 25 overhead presses together, single count
Walking lunge to next corner
Third Corner – 25 triceps extensions
Sprint to next corner
4th corner – 25 squats
Duck walk back to first corner
Finally able to put the steel down, we lined up for a double barrel ricky bobby around the Church.
Repeat the 4 corners and ricky bobby 2 more times (we only had time on the 3rd round to ricky bobby back to start for Mary).
MARY:
Single count LBCs – 25
YHC then said "partner up" which lead to a few audible "huh???" But they willingly complied as I explained we'd be doing Gym Class style Sit Ups, with one partner holding the other's feet. Do 10 tempo (3 count up, 1 down) sit ups, flapjack. Do 10 tempo negative (3 count down, 1 up) sit ups.

YHC took us out with a quote he heard from someone after finishing the boston marathon: Hunt Adversity, enjoy the pain, savor the struggle. With this I mean, we grow when we are challenged. We grow when we push ourselves and each other. Don't shy away from the challenges we face daily – they will make us stronger and better. Aye!
