House of Pain is one of YHC’s favorite sites, so it’s always a privilege to lead here.

Yunus, Crab Cake and Sweatervest got in an EC 5K, then a half dozen intrepid PAX got ready for a n0-frills beatdown that made liberal use of the signature feature of HOP, the cold steel rails. (T-claps to long lost PAX Choo Choo!)

Standard warm up, then moseyed to grab said steel, lined up on bottom curb and partnered up

• One partner did burpees while other ran to the top of parking lot and back, switch, then repeat so each PAX took two trips up the hill.
• Then:
• One partner did Merkins while the other backwards ran up, regular run down – repeat
• Rows and brisk walk with steel overhead, run back down carrying steel – repeat
• Curls and bunny hop up, run down – once
• Squat thruster and bear crawl up to second island, crawl bear back – once
• Flutter kick with steel overhead and crab walk up to second island, walk crab down – just once
