It’s Just Another BOMB-Track!

This is the way we lead. We know people are counting on us…so the HIM shows up! He shows up for himself, his family, his fitness, his mind, and for his F3 brothers!

Word was today could be last official post for awhile with COVID lockdown…so no way was YHC missing this. Truth is…YHC is pretty banged up.  Got a hamstring and knee injury that was making all this much more difficult. Have absolutely no spring in the step, it’ll be time to rest up soon…but not today! Thanks to the pax for waiting for my 6 a few times as we travelled to many places in the jungle looking for Tiger Blood!

FNG’s: None
Warm Up: Warm up was really done along a mosey path that integrated into the workout. We did a 15 for 15. 15 light poles on our mosey path – 15 exercises at each. Exercises were: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Seal Claps, Good Mornings, Merkins, Frankenstein’s, Prisoner Squats, Monkey Humpers, Staggered grip merkins L hand, Overhead Claps, Burpees, Hillbillies, Staggered Grip Merkins R hand, Nipplers, and Fence Dips.
The Workout: Down the stairs for just another BOMBS Track! Like the great Rage Against the Machine track…this series brought grunts and words of displeasure from the pax. Pax split up and run opposite directions. When pax met up again…BOOM! An exercise was called. Each lap had an exercise as follows: 15 burpees, 25 Overhead Air Presses, 35 Merkins, 45 BB Sit-Ups, 55 Squats.

Headed back up through the jungle to the parking lot. Each pax was instructed to line up with 8 parking stripes in front of us heading up hill. Bear Crawl to 1st stripe, perform a Diamond Merkin, lunge walk back. Bear Crawl to 2nd stripe…2 Diamond Merkins…so on and so forth. Pax did a few series of H2M and Freddie Mercury’s while YHC was about a lap being and going low and slow on the knee.

To the Wall Tigers! Pax did a 15 count each of BTTW, repeato but with a 10 count, then again with a 5 count. Let it be known…Breach counts  slower than Snap and I. Also worth noting, Snap runs faster on a track than Breach and I… or maybe faster than any pax I’ve seen!

Finished with 20 count People’s Chair from each pax. Mosey back to the flag for Mary.
Mary: only time for 15 count Pickle Pounders IC.
Announcements: Follow Slack closely today for continued instrux. Breach shared that this is a great time to reach out to other pax and family members to check on them and encouragement.
T-Claps (Recognition): These two pax for keeping me honest and motivated to get out here and Q despite the pain.  Way to work hard!
Prayer: Our Nation, health and safety. Acceleration despite limitation. YHC took us out. Honor to lead. Time to heal up… glad I have weights, kettlebell, and heavy bag at home…leg needs a rest.
