YHC stated on Slack that there would be tunes and toys for the upcoming workout. Now that that impulsive statement was on Slack, which might be be legally binding, YHC had to produce. So off to the garage to gather some toys. Now it”s 0500 and YHC grabs the bluetooth speaker, puts together a playlist and it”s off to the AO. 8 PAX are waiting and ready to work so we got down to business. The following story is true…
Warm Up
The Tunes…
Whip It(Devo) – SSH, burpee when you hear the word ”Whip”
I Fought The Law(The Clash) – Butt Kickers, deep squat when you hear the word ”Law”
Thang
The Toys…
1 Large Truck tire:
1 PAX does 12 overhead presses and calls out a style of merkin for the rest of the PAX to complete on SC. Rotate around till all PAX have pressed the tire and called out merkins. Merkins completed: regular, wide grip, diamond, staggered left, staggered right, hand release, left leg up, right leg up
2 Bulgarian Training bags:
Form 2 lines. The 2 PAX at the front of the line call out exercises before leaving to drag their Bulgarian bag across the field. Standard issue stuff here. Of course plenty of ”sack” jokes were flying.
1) Bear Crawl and drag the bag underneath you – run back
– Burpees
– WWIIs
– Merkins
– Squats
2) underhand throw the bag and jump after it – run back
– LBCs
– Squats
– Merkins
– Boat/Canoe – (Spooky special edition)
Butt Scoots – Basically, while seated with legs out stretched, use your arms and core to lift your butt up and scoot across the field trying to keep your legs and feet off the ground. It looks funny, but it”s harder than you think. And when you try to remind a certain PAX member about the proper form while seated in the peanut gallery he may tell you to ”concentrate on your Mayweathers, son”
– Mayweathers
– Flutter Kicks
– Peter Parkers
– Russian Hammers
Yog over to the picnic tables and get a table all to your self. Each table, which YHC called round and the same ”Mayweather” PAX pointed out were actually square had 4 benches.
5 Derkins at each bench – derkin walk to the next bench, 5 derkins…. all the way around
Dips x 20
5 Erkins at each bench, erkin walk to the next bench, 5 erkins…. all the way around
Dips x 20
Pick up the tunes and toys and head back to the AO.
Mary
Ring of Fire – 5 merkins

We are all thieves. We steal the most valuable things from the ones we respect and love. The good news is that we give those things away. We steal the knowledge, teachings, actions, and wisdom from our parents, guardians, mentors, teachers and we pass those things on. Sometimes we don”t realize that it”s happening. Sometimes we get it wrong, but all we have to do is keep trying. Keep telling and showing your kids the right things and they”ll learn and then they”ll steal it from you and give it away again. Your kids are watching and listening to you, even when you think they”re buried deep in an iPad. My mom always says, ”Keep saying the right things, they”re listening even when you think they”re not. One day they”ll get it.”
Thank you for letting me lead you this morning. It is always an honor to have a bunch of guys follow you in some crazy adventure. I never take for granted the time we spend together. Rebar said one time, ”I never thought I would look forward to getting up at 5 o”clock to post with guys, but I do.” I can”t say it any better than that. Aye!
