When the weather gets cold what’s the best thing to do? Head south…to the Thicket where 19 men gathered in the frigid air. Since YHC fighting a bad wing the best thing to do was to resurrect leg day. With a pre-blast indicating this was coming, a slew of Churham’s strongest met early to don 20-pound vests and get after some Murph EC to ensure a full body workout. Apparently it was pretty brutal as they came in hot just before kickoff and gasping for air. Way to get after it boys.

YHC had two goals for this morning…keep it moving to prevent freezing and never put our hands on the ground.

Warmup
Squats x50
SSH x20

The Thang
Mosey up the hill and into the neighborhood to find ourselves some traveling companions – cinderblocks. Over the past year, the BC neighborhood has exploded. Whereas last year there were construction materials everywhere and just a few houses that equation has been flipped and there are fewer and fewer coupons just lying around. So out of respect for the families of the men who have yet to find F3 we took our coupons and headed for Pollard MS.

Circle up and low squat hold while waiting for all to arrive. Time for a little “Bring Sally Up” with a low squat hold on the down with your cinderblock and standing up on the up. Pretty simple but the mumblechatter was brutal.

Move over to the stairs for a quick partner Dora. 100 IC jump lunges, 200 sumo jump squats. One partner knocks out the reps while the other takes two laps on the stairs. Once your team is done hit the stairs until everyone is finished. The great thing about stairs is you can’t cheat ’em. Fortunately, no wipeouts and all teeth accounted for.

Pick up blocks and mosey to the street. Lt. Dan showed up to take us home. 1 IC lunge walk, 1 squat. 2 IC lunge walk, 2 squat…10 IC lunge walk, 10 squats. Mosey up the rest of the hill to drop of the blocks (no complaints here) and run unencumbered back to the AO. Arrive at 6:30 sharp so Mary will have to wait for another day.
