6 men showed up at the new Block Party location, WEP.
We started with a job around the park, stopped at every swing for an exercise. Next, we emptied the back of my car filled with sandbags and other heavy objects. We carried the heavy objects to each swing. Dropped the bags, ran to the next swing and back, Rinse and repeat until back at the theater.
We had enough time to go around half the park with exercises ( merkins, squats, LBCs) at each swing, ran back to the start.

At the end of each run, you attempt to write the name of one of the #11-#20 cities by population in the USA (2024 US Census Estimate)
After we’re done, everybody does a burpee for each city that we don’t write down.
Lightpole to Lightpole:
At each lightpole, the PAX have to name one of the #3-10 cities by population in a state (2024 US Census Estimate). If they don’t get one, then it’s 20 reps. If they do get one, then it’s only 15 reps.
“A cord of three strands cannot be broken”
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Discipline is defined as the training of oneself or others to obey rules, maintain order and achieve goals through self control and consistent action, even when unmotivated
YHC has always admired those with discipline in my life. It’s something I am working on and want to improve. But this discipline cannot be done in a vacuum or isolation. Willpower or white knuckling life is challenging for YHC and I required the support, encouragement and candor from others.
This workout was designed around this theme.
