The Gloom Always Collects — Check on the Missing

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.
