Pantheon Party of 4

YHC rolled into Pantheon about 10 till 5:15 to find Slapshot cooling down from doing what he does at ungodly hours of the morning. Shortly after 38 Special pulled up and there was some mumblechatter until 5:14 and we could see Flounder rolling up on a bicycle to make 4 PAX

We promptly began, YHC disclaimed the bunch and we started a warmup right there with the following:

Windmills

Cherry Pickers

Plank Position- Honeymooners and Downward Dogs, stretched out the dogs considerably

SSH

Low and Slow Squats

Moroccan Night Clubs

Cyclops

After warm up we moseyed over to the bike racks and I told the PAX the plan

DORA

We broke up into two teams, plan would have been to break up into two teams regardless of PAX showing. Point is to keep the group together in cadence to ensure proper form, picked that up from Boss Hog a couple weeks ago and loved the idea

Job was to complete the following:

100 Merkins

200 Dips

300 Squats

Team 1 PAX began on the Merkins and Team 2 went off to run a lap (Small lap around parking lot)

When Team 2 returned we picked up where team 1 left off and continued through the progression.

Once completed we Moseyed back to the front of the parking lot where a series of cones were set up for a series of exercises making our way across the parking lot.

At first cone 5 burpees OYO then we jogged to 2nd cone where we did 5 more burpees, then we lung walked to 3rd cone where we did 5 more burpees, next we bear crawled to the next cone did 5 more burpees and finally broad jump burpeed to the final cone where we finished with 5 more burpees

Last challenge was at the Ampitheatre, quick mosey over to the base and YHC explained the challenge.

Starting at bottom of hill we did 3 Worst Merkins Ever

Moving up to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th levels of Ampitheatre we did 10 big boys at each level and then finally did 30 monkey humpers

Mosey back to shovel flag for 2 minutes of Mary

Hello Dollies and the lowest hurdle ever (stretch)

Fishsticks joined us then, he was running the streets of TC for the fun of it and we think using Drones to spy on us 🙂 j/k

YHC shared a message I have picked up from David Goggins “Can’t Hurt Me” about hardening our bodies and minds to prepare for the next inevitable obstacle, challenge, trial etc. To do this we need Discipline not Motivation, which is fleeting.

Flounder shared a new year challenge to re-engage, re-commit to being the best men we can be and getting back into good habits like spending time in the Word.

Prayers, Praises and Announcements were said and then YHC worked in the namorama I had temporarily forgotten.

Great Morning, Aye

Fast 5 friendly, except…

Remember, the Fast 5 was kicking off 2 hours post-COT so we need to make this one leg friendly. I got the memo but apparently, Bonsai did not. While the complaining in the second half ramped up, we knew we’d all be better for it.
With Maximus up for the first 30mins, here’s what happened:

We moseyed around lap around the park with Toy Soldiers and Butt Kickers thrown in for good measure.
Back in the parking lot, we did some slow squatting, 3-way calf raises and wide-arm Merkins

At the playground:
Group 1: 15 Pull-Ups & 30 Merkins
Group 2: American Hammers until Group 1 is done
Due to some questionable form, we did that one again with 10 Pull Ups and 20 Merkins.

Group 1: 15 Pull-Ups & 30 Carolina Dry Docks
Group 2: Freddy Mercury’s until Group 1 is done

Back to the lot for 10 Burpees, Boats & Canoes, Grave Diggers and Super Mans

Hand off to Bonsai:

We moseyed to the area at Fire Dept wall:
Level 1 Drill – 10 each
Merkins / Mountain Climbers, Hip Thrusters (questionable call)
25 LBCs
30sec Wall Sit
Repeat then run to the basketball court and back

25 Dirty Myrtle
15 Mike Tysons
25 American Hammers
25 Squats
Repeat then run to the basketball court and back

30sec BTTW
20 Plank Jack
10 Lunges each leg
15 Leg raises
Repeat then run to the basketball court and back

Bear crawl some, mosey, 30sec 6″ Merkin hold, mosey
