Closeout 2025 before opening 2026

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, MCs, Parker Peter, Peter Parker, Plank, L/R planks,. Mosey to back parking lot, cariaco
THE THANG: Muster on the grassy patch in back parking lot where we started, left, and returned a few times. Running took us to the south wall of HT, the tire shop and the north wall of HT in between stops at the grass. Pax fit 100 burpees into the workout in doses of 10. Other fun included bear crawl, crawl bear, crab walks, lunges, various flavors of Mary, and it was all topped off with suicides.
MARY: Included along the way
ANNOUNCEMENTS: New name of HT workouts Wed/Fri is The Forge! also encouragement to register for Break the Dam run on 1/31, plus 8-blocker on Jan 3rd at Panera
COT: Encouragement for pax to bring some closure to 2025 before starting 2026 by reviewing photos on their phone from Thanksgiving through Christmas period. This practice always grounds me and give me perspective. It especially deflates anxious thinking/feeling about future and various regrets/shame by providing a very real and visible depiction of the true blessings and joy in my life.

Thanks for the invite Miyagi! Carry on with your mission of forging HIM!

Holiday Pain Games at Golden Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick mosey to Dogtopia for Moroccan Night Clubs, Mountain climbers and merkins
THE THANG: Two cones were placed in front of the closed dental office with one saying “over” and one saying “under”. Two similar cones were also placed at the far end of the lot by Bubbles and Bows. The game was simple…YHC would read a thoroughly internet researched and irrefutable Christmas fact. The fact would then be slightly altered and the Pax would run to the far end of the lot and stand in front of the “over” or “under” to choose their answer. The true fact would be read and those who chose the wrong side of the answer did more reps than those who got it right. For example, the Pax were told that tinsel was invented in the year 1700. Those who chose the “under” (invented in 1610) did less reps than those who chose the over.
We did 18 rounds and briefly swapped out bear crawls (shorter distance) for running. Exercises included, in varying reps, SSH, Mike Tysons, Plank Jacks, CDD, Monkey Humpers, Squats, American Hammers, Burpees, Hand release merkins, Shoulder taps, Dips, Merkins, Overhead claps, Calf raises, Supermans, and bomb Jacks. Total mileage was 1.7 miles with plenty of reps thrown in.
MARY: Unavailable due to her pending labor in two days and the need for adequate shelter
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence, Upcoming site location changes
COT: Families

Kicking Ass & Chewing Bubble Gum

Leave a comment

Driving around FM the night before running errands and thinking about my Q at the Stockade. Reviewed a few BBs and didn’t see any references to coupons. Messaged The Pirate, who was Qing at Varsity, and asked if I could borrow a few Cindys. He was very much obliged as I took a few off his AO. Woke up this morning with a car packed full of Cindys and a plan, the only thing left to do was to kick ass and chew gum.

The Gloom Always Collects — Check on the Missing

Leave a comment

Warm-Up
We kicked things off with Imperial Walkers, then moseyed to the parking-lot island for hamstring stretches and hip openers. From there, we sprinted to the flag and continued the mosey over to the new bootcamp spot for a healthy round of Monkey Humpers.

The Thang

Movement to the Church
We headed to the church and tackled Toy Soldiers up the hill, followed by a NUR (backwards run) to the parking lot.

Gazebo Work
At the gazebo, we hit offset Ierkins sets on the benches, one hand up high the other on the bench, then flapjacked to hit the opposite side.

Mid-work discussion: Who haven’t you seen post in a while? Have you reached out? The mission only works if the men stay connected.

Apartment Roundabout
Moseyed to the roundabout in the apartment complex for lunges—right leg first, flapjack, then left leg—all in cadence.
We then cut behind Harris Teeter and took the B-line back toward the roundabout.

Around the World Grinder
Held Al Gore around the circle while each HIM took a turn completing 30 Monkey Humpers, passing the work clockwise until all had their turn.

Hill Work Behind Harris Teeter
Found a hill—perfect.
• Crawl Bear down
• Run hard back up
• Lunge walk down
• Move to the far curb for 5 OYO Burpees
• Sprint back to the top

Traveling Bears
At the Harris Teeter wall, PAX held People’s Chair while one man bear-crawled the length. Rotate until every man got his turn. Full team effort.

Oil Change Center Wall Work
20 Wide-Arm Merkins
15 Regular Merkins
10 Diamond Merkins
No rest. Just work.

Advance Auto Lot – Burpee Broad Jumps
We burpee broad-jumped the entire parking lot because sometimes the only path forward is the hard one.

Walgreens – Duck Walks
Duck-walked to the island. Reversed it back with reverse duck walks—a crowd favorite… for no one.

Dealer’s Choice Transportation
One PAX called Power Skips all the way to the entrance. No shame. Full commitment.

Final Mosey to COT for Mary
Closed it out with:
• Worst Worst LBCs
• Dying Cockroaches
• Standing Twists

Announcements
• 401K Race
• Break the Dam 5K / 10K
• Christmas Convergence
• Christmas Party – signups & donations

Prayers & Praises – CSPAN Style
Brothers sharing what’s happening in their lives. Exactly how the morning should end.
