THANG 1: Story of the 3 little pigs

Once upon a time, three little pigs decided to leave their mother’s house and build their own homes. The first little pig built his house out of straw
• Pig 1 built a house of straw – 4 bodybuilders. Wind sprint to the parking lot

the second little pig built his house out of sticks
• Pig 2 built a house of sticks – 8 bodybuilders. Wind sprints to the last picnic table

and the third little pig built his house out of bricks.
• Pig 3 built a house of bricks – 12 bodybuilders. Wind sprints to the opposite sidewalk

One day, a big, bad wolf came and knocked on the door of the first little pig’s straw house. “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” said the wolf. But the little pig replied, “Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!”
• 20 LBCs (symbolizing the wolf huffing and puffing at the straw house)

The wolf huffed, puffed, and blew the straw house down. The little pig ran to his brother’s house made of sticks.
• PAX to run a loop

But the wolf followed him and knocked on the door. “Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!” said the wolf. But the two little pigs replied, “Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!”
• 20 LBCs (symbolizing the wolf huffing and puffing at the straw house)
• 20 reps of merkins (symbolizing the wolf trying to break down the stick house)

The wolf huffed, puffed, and blew the stick house down. The two little pigs ran to their brother’s house made of bricks.
• PAX to run a loop

But the wolf followed them and knocked on the door. “Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!” said the wolf. But the three little pigs replied, “Not by the hair on our chinny chin chins!”
The wolf huffed and puffed but couldn’t blow the brick house down. So, he climbed onto the roof and tried to come down the chimney. But the clever little pigs had a pot of boiling water waiting for him, and the wolf fell into the pot. The pigs covered the pot with a lid and boiled the wolf alive.
• 20 LBCs (symbolizing the wolf huffing and puffing at the straw house)
• 20 reps of merkins (symbolizing the wolf trying to break down the stick house)
• 20 reps of air squats (symbolizing the wolf climbing the brick house and falling down the chimney)

From that day on, the three little pigs lived happily ever after in their sturdy brick house, knowing that hard work and determination always pay off in the end.

THANG 2: a game called “Beat the Wolf”

The Pax Break into groups of 4. 3 PAX represents each of the pigs. (4 PAX will be pigs for teams of 5). 1 PAX is the Wolf.

The 3 pigs plank. When the wolf arrives at a pig, the pig then calls an exercise for a 10-rep count. Whoever completes the task the fastest wins and becomes the pig in the plank position. The loser becomes the Wolf and moves on to the next Pig. Rinse and repeat. If a pax is a wolf 3 times in a row, he can do 5 penalty burpees to become a pig or remain the wolf.

YHC was running late, as usual, this morning. T-Claps to Goose for keeping the train on the tracks. YHC is grateful for the PAX transporting themselves to the 19th-century American countryside for a cheese fable-based beatdown. Hopefully, the storyline aided the pax in exerting maximum physical output with a minimal mental load. To be honest, YHC thought it would take longer than it did and wishes we would have taken a victory lap after the last round. In Thang 2 we continued the man-vs-man theme that has been popping up in previous beatdowns. T-claps to Smooth Operator for using a strategy that created an advantage with his short arms and impeccable bear crawling skills. Additionally, Yankee Joe can up with some crazy core-based stuff that exposed YHC’s lack of core strength (again). With this extra time to spare YHC called for Elevens and showed mercy by way of overhead claps and calf raises. Based on the mumble chatter, YHC will not show this type of mercy again.

Thanks to all for going along with this goofy-themed beatdown and putting up with my tardiness.
