Pax: @Norm, @Beerpressure, @Cyclops, @Gamecock, @Finkle, 
Warm Up: Nice mosey around the parking lot and then some stretches and warm up exercises.
The Workout: First event we went to the rock pile to pick out a friend.  Each Pax got the opportunity to run around the gym block as a timer while everyone else did a rock exercise: curls for the girls, overhead press, rut rows, tricep-extensions, rock chest presses on six.  To spice it up we switched rocks each time.

Second event: We took a short mosey over to the basketball court to play a basketball game of knockout.  Those who were in line had to do a prolonged stint of exercises ranging from lbc’s to dips, to merkins.
Mary: In cadence: outlaws, American Hammers, reverse lbc’s, boat canoes, and outlaws.

A muggy, wet morning out at the grave left no man dry upon completion of a workout led by YHC and a deck of cards.

FNG’s: no sir
Warm Up: A mosey lap around the various lots of Kenny’s Grave stopping for exercises, which were: SSH x40, Windmills x12, Seal Claps x12, Overhead Claps x12, Daisy Pickers x12, Mountain Climbers x40.
The Workout: We split into 2 teams of 4 pax each. Each team had to complete 100 burpees total. So one man would do some burpees while the others did Plank Jacks, SSH, and LBC’s. PAX would rotate until all burpees were complete. this was a great routine I borrowed from Yoda.

We then took another mosey lap and did some fast feet along the way. We then moved on to the deck of cards, which we got though about 45 of them. Hearts = Merkins, Diamonds = Diamond Merkins, Clubs = alternate lunges IC, Spades = Squats, Face Card Hearts = 5 burpees, Face Card Diamonds = 5 count BTTW per PAX, Face Card Spades = 10 squat jumps, Face Card Clubs = People’s Chair 10 count per PAX, Jokers = 10 Turkish Get-Ups.

The Workout:

Mosey over to the baseball field and partner up for a game of Wasps. 2 pax start out “it” and do 2x burpees at home base. They then tag other pax who then become “it” after returning to base for 2x burpees. Entire baseball field was in play – even the fence apparently for Pots.

Unfortunately Wrangler had an injury when performing a burpee towards the end of the game. Prayers for a speedy recovery bro.

After Wasps we moved on to some animal races – from the infield/outfield line to the fence we raced in the form of Bear Crawls, Duck Walks, Wheel Barrels, and Sprints.

FNGs: Not today
Warm Up: Mosey to a wall for BTW and a count off of PAX… It took us about 6 times to actually get a count off. The precedence was set for a chatty workout with nobody listening to YHC.  We began to mosey to other side of lot for SSH x15. PAX was surprised by the x15 on SSH, as YHC is known for his x50 or even x100 to begin workouts.  YHC threw a curveball on the SSH, as he called them again, but this time as 21’s.  Q calls out 2 count SSH for the first 1-5 and then 6-21 are silent. If the PAX don’t finish all at the same time in cadence on 21, repeato….Lets just say we repeated quite a few times.  We even had some OYO Peeping Lipsticks when the PAX struck out 3x for not being quiet.   We continued the mosey to another lot and did more warmups.

The Workout: Partner up and suicides across lot with peeping lipsticks.  6 suicide stops- Pax 1 goes to first and back while Pax 2 does peeping lipsticks, rotate partners after each suicide stop, until we got to the end.  Pax had a hard time understanding and also questioned the legitimacy of a peeping lipstick (turkesh getup with a star jump)  It’s in the exicon!   Next we mosey to the bus stop where YHC had coupon pain stations setup.  Partner 1 worked with coupon while partner 2 ran out and back. Switch roles and then switch stations as we rotated through 7 stations.  Stations as followed: Merkin Jack Webb with Cinderblock (2 stations) Weighted jump rope, grave diggers with 20lb mace, death march with 10lb mace, kettlebell swings 35lb, kettlebell tricep extensions 15lb. Closed out with 21s again to test our progress. It only took 3 times to nail it, Pots even turned his back to the Pax!
Mary:  Mary caught the bus and we kept the heartrate up until the end!

PAX: , , , , , ,

FNGs: None

EC: Norm, Red, Sprinkler, Katniss, POTS, Gamecock

Warm Up: Good mornings, Willie mays haze, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, SSH, Sir Fazio arm circles

The Workout:

Part 1: Wheel of Misfortune.

Circle up with one PAX in the middle. The PAX on the outside are assigned an AMRAP exercise, and the PAX in the middle acts as the timer and does 10 burpees. Once he’s done, rotate to the next station with the top of the circle coming into the center for his turn at burpees. We made three rotations. Outside exercises were: Sumo squats, Shoulder taps, High knees, Angle grinder, Daft Punk (Around the world lunges), and Crab Cakes.

Part 2: Next Man Up, Crop-duster style

One PAX calls a terrible exercise for the rest of the group then heads off. PAX that called the exercise then “bones the fish” side-shuffling along the parking space lines moving up the parking lot then mosey back.  Rotate and the next man up calls an exercise then leaves. There was revenge, cruelty, anticipation, and way too many burpees.

Mary: There was enough Mary in Part 2.
