Today we celebrated the 3 Year Anniversary for Briar Chapel’s original AO. Unfortunately, OG’s Yanni and Marky Mark couldn’t be here today, so I tried to lead a workout that would make them proud.
2 knocked out an EC 5K, and at start time we had 17 men ready to celebrate:
Warm Up
- Imperial Walkers
- Slow Merkins
- Mountain Climbers
- WMH
- Pax Choice
Main Event – Elevens
- Merkins & In-Cadence Bear Crawl. Mosey to soccer field. Do 10 Merkins, then 1 ICBC; then, 9 Merkins & 2 ICBC. Then 8 Merkins and 3 ICBC. So on and so forth down to 1 Merkin and 10 ICBC. Total count always adds up to eleven. Hold plank when transitioning between ICBC and Merkins
- Blockees and Bus Drivers. Mosey up to the brick pile. Each man secures two bricks. Do 10 Blockees (holding bricks, drop down burpee-style, do the merkin portion of the burpee while holding bricks, and then do an overhead press with bricks upon return to standing position), and 1 Bus Driver (hold bricks out in front and rotate back & forth as if you’re turning a steering wheel). Then, 9 Blockees and 2 Bus Drivers. So on and so forth, down to 1 Blockee and 10 Bus Drivers. And yes, one’s shoulders should most definitely be burning after this silliness.
- Squats and Step-Ups. Mosey to the tables behind the school. Do 10 Squats, and 1 Step-Up. Then 9 Squats and 2 Step-Ups. So on and so forth, down to 1 Squat and 10 Step-Ups.
Encore
- Dips – Mosey to the gazebo. Sets of 25/20/15/10.
- Sprints – Sprint from gazebo to parking lot entrance and back to gazebo. Then, another sprint back to the parking lot

COT/BOM
Words cannot describe the gratitude owed to BC’s OGs for planting the F3 seeds three years ago here at The Thicket. It is truly incredible to see what those seeds have grown into today. I can’t wait to see what we grow into across the next three years. This group is beyond special and has no doubt improved each and every one of us. Aye!
