Today was Popeye’s VQ. Not only did he bring the pain, but he did it like a pro. And since YHC complained that we didn’t do enough leg work in Rock Hill, he dropped the hammer on us. But being the smart man that he is, he used most of the allotted time so Padre couldn’t burpee us to death. Somehow Padre still got his 100+ burpees into his last 10 minutes.

Mosey to the Parking Lot for 4 Corners of Pain

Normally a 4 corners exercise is fairly short. Not today. We covered 2.1 miles on this trip around the TJ Maxx parking lot. Sweat was poured and the mumble chatter was heavy.

Round 1 and 3, completed the following exercises at each corner:

• 20 Squats
• 15 Monkey Humpers
• 10 Side Lunges

Round 2 and 4, completed the following exercises at each corner:

• 20 LBCs
• 15 Hello Dollies
• 15 Freddies

Hand off to Padre

Padre being short on time, gave us a steep challenge – do 100 burpees in 7 minutes. 7 minutes is a LONG time for burpees. At the edge of collapse, he added in 5 Slow Count Merkins and 5 Spider Merkins for good measure. I’m fairly certain the PAX should seek forgiveness for cursing a preacher under our breaths.

Name-a-rama, COT, and BOM

Moleskin

Another great VQ by the men of ManU. We have had 6 VQs and they just keep getting better. I’m proud to see the guys continue to get stronger each week. Shout out to Swamp Fox for keeping up with the gazelles and beating most of the PAX in the 4 corners exercises. He just keeps getting stronger and he’ll be on the Q schedule in the coming weeks.

YHC is honored to post in the gloom with these fine men. You guys embrace the suck each day and continue to make us all better men.

Prayer Requests

So many of our PAX have friends, co-workers, and family members that are experiencing pain, illness, death, and suffering. We want to continue to lift all of our concerns to our Creator who knows our every need and provides in time of sorrow.
