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

The Wetter the Better

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Brief COP and stretching by the bandshell

THE THANG:
We made our way around WEP stopping for fun in some traditional old school ways.

From the path along 160 at the far end we Inch Wormed across the field towards the hill. Midway across we rose and sprinted to top of hill.

Jacob broke out his ladder for us and we climbed it with burpees and flutters.

On the way back to starting point we stopped at playground for a series of laps around it including core exercises — Freddys, shoulder Taps, big boys, LBCs .

We made it over to Stairway to Heaven where we lunge walked stopping for squats at each light post (5, 10, 15, 20, 25).

We concluded with Round the Clock Merkins on the curb.

MARY: Yes, she beat us up for the final 4 mins.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tortoise + Hare, Hog + Coyote, DP Tuesdays now at WEP every week

COT: It was a wet day with rain soaked park and more falling throughout the workout. Pax pushed each other with no complaints. Time Machine completed his first post at DP and his Daily Double!

Thanks for putting in the work men!
