YHC decided to do some experimentation, and what better place than the House of Pain. You can always count on PAX to show up and be good sports about whatever gets thrown at them. It was also at HoP that YHC had some more… creative… routines conducted by some really awesome guys. So after spending time in the lab modifying some crazy ideas from the Exicon, YHC hit the tarmac for a good time with 21 other PAX.
Warmup:
- 15 SSH
- 15 LBACs
- 10 WMH
- 10 merkins
- 10 mountain climbers
Phase One: Catching Up
- Round 1: Form groups of 3 for a Catch Us If You Can around the perimeter of the parking lot. Groups rotated between 5 burpees of steel (doing a burpee with a steel beam), carrying, and being carried.
- Round 2: Partner off, Catch Me If You Can around the lower parking lot islands. Mode of transportation was bear crawl, exercise was 15 curls with steel.
- Round 3: Same partner, Catch Me If You Can up the driveway from one yellow speedbump to the other. Mode of transportation was crawlbear, exercise was 10 chest presses with steel.
- Round 4: Same partner, Catch Me If You Can back down the driveway. Mode of transportation was crabwalk, exercise was 15 squats with steel.
Howler Monkey Interlude
When YHC saw it on the Exicon, he found it too good to pass up. Everyone grabs their ankles and hangs on for a monkey humper RoF extravaganza. T-claps for those that hung on the whole time.
Phase Two: Shake It Up
In homage to one of the most infamous workouts ever devised, we did some mini Island Hunting (archipelago hunting? sandbar hunting?). There were four islands in the lower lot; run to each island from the steel pile. Do 5 burpees at each island, 10 monkey humpers at the steel pile. Thank you to Assisi for suggesting that, according to rules as explained, we had 10 bonus monkey humpers both at the start and finish. A real man of integrity, that one.

COT: prayers for those still affected by the hurricane, and for those in a time of transition in their lives.
