YHC saw an opportunity to Q this non running AO and jumped on it, since jumping is allowed at the Uptowner. Arriving 10 minutes early, YHC was alone. At 5:25, YHC was still the lone Pax, but there was still plenty of time. The clock hit 5:29 and genuine concern set in. It looked as if today would be that dreaded day, the day of the lone Q. Wait, here comes Duct Tape, reporting that he had been waiting at the Rock City AO, wondering where the Pax were….and here comes Triple Shift!
YHC had two options this day, one was to partner up, and the other was for an odd number of Pax. Looks like the odd number would prevail….until the arrival of a totally unexpected visitor! Welcome Reluctant Yankee! The partner routine it is then! YHC was so relieved to see other Pax that he may have overlooked the disclaimer, but pretty sure something was muttered about modifying as needed…..
Warm Up
SSH IC x 31
Abe Vigodas IC x 5
Enough of that….we have a lot to get to!
Everyone grab a rock that can be used for Overhead Press and Curls.
Stink B.O.M.B.S.
YHC had 5 cones set up in a large circle with approximately a 40 foot diameter, with a few cones marking the center. Partner up, and one Pax goes to an outside cone, while the partner goes to center cones. Lucky for YHC, the smart Pax were in attendance, so instructions remained minimal, and easily grasped. Working clockwise:
Cone 1 – 100 Burprees
Cone 2 – 200 Overhead Presses with rock
Cone 3 – 300 Merkins
Cone 4 – 400 Big Boy Situps
Cone 5 – 500 Squats
The exercises on the outside cones are cumulative. Timer is the Pax at the center cones doing 20 curls with rock and 20 LBC’s. Supplement the 20 curls with rows as needed. Once complete, swap with outside Pax and keep the beat down going.
Times Up!
Count off, Name-O-rama, Intentions, and Close with a prayer to the Sky Q.

Neither team got past the Big Boy Situps before time expired. This routine may find its way back, but with a slight modification to make sure we can get through it. There was minimal mumble chatter during the beatdown, with good reason, as those Burpees, OH Presses and Merkins were a killer, especially when mixed in with LBC’s and Curls/Rows for the timer.
Thanks for posting with me today! The Uptowner is still a great opportunity to bring a beat down without running! But isn’t that what the 610 Stomp is for? Oh yeah, and WPM……if you’re into that sort of thing…..
