Back to School

Leave a comment

We warmed up with the Motivator and then did some stretchy things. We moseyed around TJ the front of the theater where we went to school.

Billy Madison inspired workout — 1 exercise 12 reps, for each grade. As we matriculated to the next grade we couldn’t forget our previous lesson so we repeated that exercise and performed the next grades exercise. As we were running out of time we accelerated our lessons by the 9th grade

Sht, I am going to be late for my Q

Leave a comment

Still trying to catch up on my sleep, I was late for my Q on Sunday. The group had already launched, so I had two choices when I arrived: go left or right. I went right which turned out to be wrong. Shuffled down to WEP to catch up to the group. No dice, back to COT, climbed the stairs overlooking downtown trying to locate the group. In the distance, I saw a blinking light. I quickly shuffled to catch up to them.
Crystal Lake had things under control by taking over for my misstep. He continued the Q with a backwards walk up the hill and we continue the ruck around the post office and back to COT.
Thankful for the group and the leaders who step up when needed.

AMRAP 4 AUTISM 2025

Leave a comment

14 Bootcampers showed up (3 more for 6 @ 6) for the 4th annual AMRAP 4 AUTISM. YHC was humbled to lead this event again and thankful to all who’ve donated and those who showed up for the workout!

WARMUP: A lap around the park with a few stops along the way for the following services.
– 131 SSH – 1 in 31 children in the US are diagnosed with autism
– 60 squats – CDC estimates $60K per year of extra cost to raise a child with autism.
– 36 LBC – Two years ago the diagnosis rate was 1 in 36
THE THANG: YHC had a trailer full of Cindy’s and was ready for whoever showed! After the warmup I explained the following rules of engagement:
1. 36 min AMRAP
2. Partner count
3. 1 round = all 5 exercises
4. All exercises complete before moving to next round
5. Hands never leave the block. Autistic people never get to remove autism from their lives. For this 36 min we will not move our hands from the block.
Enough rules. Time to work!
1. 54 man makers
2. 54 frog squats
3. 54 yard fair carry with both blocks
4. 54 bent over rows
5. 54 BBBS

Finished with a last man standing sprint race with Stone Cold beating out Slapshot by a hair!
MARY: Nah
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Canoli Run
