THE THANG: At the center of WEP after pairing up one partner jogged off and after a five count the other partner ran to catch up. Repeated this a few times.

Headed to the hill for a few rounds of Indian Bear Crawl with partners.

Then to playground where partner stayed home and did random exercises while partner ran the perimeter of the playground.

Last was 50s up the hill to COT. 50s were: 50 step count of 80-90% sprint, 50 steps at 5k’ish speed, 50 steps walking which landed us at COT.

Burpees in the Gloom: Because Therapy is Expensive

Leave a comment

YHC Arrived 15 minutes early. Stretched in the stillness. As the PAX rolled in, we opened with this thought:

Opening Message:

““We showed up before the sun—when it’s quiet, still, and easy to stay hidden. But it’s in the dark where integrity is tested. In life, leadership, and faith, it’s not about how loud we are in the light, but how consistent we are in the dark.””
Warm-Up:
– 20 Imperial Walkers (IC)
– 10 Hillbilly Walkers (IC)
– Deep Stretch: Wide leg, center, right leg, left leg

The Thang:
Mosey to Harris Street Park
Along the path, we stopped at 4 points—each time completing:
– 2 Burpees OYO with a reflective question:

1. Who are you when the world’s not looking?
2. What habits are you building in the unseen hours?
3. Is your character the same at home, at work, and in the gloom?
4. What dark corners still need light in your life?

At Harris Street Park Basketball Court
Escalating Suicides:
– Run suicides. After each round, add reps

– 15 Carolina Dry Docks
– 20 Wide-Arm Merkins
– 25 Squats
– 30 LBCs
—
Mosey up Harris Street to the Church
– At each power pole: 3 Triad Burpees (Wide, Regular, Diamond)
– At each street sign: 15 Big Boy Sit-Ups
– Modified to 2 Triads, then 1 Burpee + 10 BBSUs due to time constraints
—
Mosey Back to COT
Slowed the pace for final thought:
““Nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” – Luke 8:17 (ESV)”
Jailbreak to COT
Minute Man smoked it, proving 52 looks strong when you own the dark.

COT:

““As the sun rises today, ask yourself—what part of your life do I need to start owning better in the dark, so I’m stronger in the light?””
We closed with praises and prayer—each man shared one thing they’re bringing from the shadows into the light.

Honor to lead.
– Cornerstone

Huey, Dewy and Sweaty

WARMUP: Cyclops kindly warmed up the Pax as YHC was coming in hot after doubling down
THE THANG: Moseyed to the field next to the park, laid out the Starfish workout, the 5 arms were counts of 15 each and they were: Swing Crunches, BBSU, Singlet Merkin (crowd favorite), Squats (real ones not Twerks) and flutters, count one leg. Each time we can back to the center of the Starfish it was 3 Burpees, rinse and repeat 3X (Total of 45 reps of each exercise). We then moseyed to the parking lot, bottom of the hill we did a decelerator, 3 exercises, started at reps of 25 then 15 and 5, exercises were LBC, Merkins and Seal Jacks. Between each set run to the top of the hill, jump and smack the stop sign (Minute Man didn’t have to jump!)

Per Lamar Jackson on your excuses: “No one cares, work harder!”

MARY: Couple of minutes to dedicate to Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, 7/4, Sweaty Berry, Trout to Trout, Bourbon tasting and even a rumor of a Christmas party.
COT: Always
