WARMUP: Brief mosey around the fake track by the gym followed by COP with various classics

THE THANG: The Main Event started with a brief stop at the only real grass at The Yard for some Knee Tar N’Diayes and Mahktar N’Diayes. Then we moseyed to the gym wall for three rounds of the following:

Donkey Kicks x10
Monkey Humpers x20
Merkins x30
Squats x40
Flutters x50

After each round we recovered with either Lunge Walks, Bear Crawls or Backward Lunge Walks

Mosey back to main parking lot for tunes by UHaul plus some more exercises

MARY: Bitcoin took the baton and led the pax through some Mary, capped by a plankorama triggered by UHaul.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many good things going on in The Fort. Read your newsletter and join in along the way.

COT: Welcome to FNG Stinger! he posted after hearing the Order of Man podcast with DOAH. Thankfully he chose to post despite what he heard. He will be back and will fit right in like he’s been here forever.

Bitcoin took the Shovel Flag today! Great to have this Accelerating pax step into a leadership role. Put The Yard on your Sat itinerary — he’ll keep this AO soaring!

The pax pushed through the Main Event with perseverance. Some mumblechatter from Crab Cakes and UHaul plus some Form Police from Peabody kept spirits light enough. Apparently Fogertys guidance that The Yard is a 45 min boot camp (and not a Moderate boot camp) hasnt made its way to all the pax. It’s clear everyone can handle it from today’s work, including our FNG Stinger who wasn’t far behind our King, Runy Slippers. Also near the front was Old Bay, who is clearly accelerating following his return to the Gloom.

Thanks to Fogerty for resurrecting The Yard. We have a trio of good options on Sat now — nice work!

Always an honor to lead the pax. SYITG!

Posted In: The Ranch

WARMUP: mosey to playground parking lot – burpees, windmills, imperial and hillbilly walkers, more burpees, squats, holding people’s chair for Moroccan night clubs and air presses while mumblechatter escalated quickly. Pusher enjoyed the view of YHC’s good side at this point of the workout. Planks ensued along with a few Broga poses, Peter Parker’s and merkins. From there we moseyed to the bus loop for the main event.

THE THANG: partners took turns alternating running between ab stations and 4 exercise stations. The stations were comprised of 8 burpees or 8 kraken burpees (which Dark Helmet loved), 18 of another exercise and 22 of another – Carolina dry docks, derkins, squats, lunges, merkins and side straddle hops (because YHC did not include them in the warm up) specifically. PAX did all of them and got 1% better.

After 8 rounds were completed between partners, we moseyed around the school, recited the pledge to honor those serving our country and protecting our freedoms. Then moseyed past three more light poles were 3 burpees were done at each one. Just because.

MARY: Sasquatch led 2 minutes of Broga which brought us to 0600.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: We’re exclaimed
COT: Prayers were offered. And we welcomed FNG Sweat Shop.

YHC is grateful for the culture and fellowship we are so fortunate to have in the Fort. Showing up in the gloom each morning for the man next to us truly enables acceleration beyond just the workout.

Thanks to Poppins for the call to Q. It’s always an honor to lead.

Gratefully,
Cyclops

This is Band Camp reporting for the work-swamped Fire Marshall Bill and the 16 other PAX at minnow pond on 8/4. Looks like y’all ran a zipper and did merkins? This report has not been verified, but I think the tags are accurate
