It Wasn’t the Game Played, But It Was the Game Played – from Boo-Boo
Disclaimer given and a mosey to the rock pile area for a warm-o-rama consisting of typical warmup exercises such as SSH, 4-count Abe Vigodas, MC, PP, IW, and mountain man poopers.
PAX were instructed to grab a medium rock, one that could be used for triceps extensions. Rudy felt there was a dichotomy in the instruction bc a medium rock and triceps extensions do not go together. YHC set a repeating alarm for 5 minutes. Every time the dog barked, PAX had to do 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat.
PAX were directed to the parking lot behind the gym. While in route, there was mumblechatter between Fast Tax and YHC about the unusual breeze, which YHC thought was typically associated with rain at this time of year.
Pax lined up in the parking lot for Lt. Dans to the gym. As we arrived at the gym, the rain started. Change of plans! PAX were instructed to assume the People’s Chair under the covering, with their rock, to complete overhead presses and curls in cadence. Occasionally rows were thrown in for variety.
As the rain increased and the parking lot started to hold water, Bogey felt a significant draw to play in the puddles. PAX were directed to the deepest puddle for facedown Aquamans (Supermans in a puddle), followed by face up Aquamans. Only three PAX elected to stay under cover and missed out on the fun. It was noted that these kind of shenanigans would ever be attempted at an uptown beatdown, while also pointing out that our uptown brother in attendance was all in!
Rinse and repeat the peoples chair routine and Aquamans, adding Abe Lincolns to the puddle fun.
At one point, PAX went balls to the wall while attempting shoulder taps. Only Fast Tax was able to complete said maneuver, so it was quickly changed to vertical merkins in cadence.
Rocks were returned and mosey back to the flag for a COT.
While the surprise rain storm was not in the game plan, it was the game played. Adaptability is a pillar of effective leadership, and this group was very encouraging and accommodating.

Gonna Feel That In The Morning – from Fast Tax
It was the usual hot, humid, and sloppy August morning at El Diablo as 11 PAX assembled, eager to push themselves and their brothers.
YHC could tell from the chattiness during the disclaimer that a few audibles were going to be called this morning. After disclaimer, we moseyed to the rock pile accompanied by War Eagle’s lamentations that Rock City was Monday and today was Wednesday…in case YHC was not aware.
Warmups consisted of SSH, Grass Grabbers, Hairy Rockettes, and Swan Dives
After “low-medium” rock selections, we lined up against the fence in peoples chair for 10 reps of rock-a-bye-baby – a six count head and chest workout in cadence.
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum followed until we hit the sidewalk.Still bearing the brunt of PAX chit-chat, YHC opted to get a little dirty… Bring on the medium Hairburners. This involved PAX lining up in a plank and then pushing the rock across the slushy puddle-strewn field until we reached the fence whereupon we crawled backwards, pulling the rock back to the starting point.
Rocks Up was next (20 reps IC), followed by the Bear Crawl Snake> punctuated by War Eagle’s admiration of Hand Grenada’s calves.
After a brief mosey, YHC found a suitably nasty patch of ground triangulated by 3 trees, around which PAX would break into 3 groups for the Bearmuda Triangle. All PAX do 2 burpees then bear crawl to next tree, 4 burpees, then bear crawl to next tree, 8 burpees, then bear crawl to next tree, 16 burpees.
Sufficiently dirty, we headed back to our rocks for one final punishment – Rapid Fire Rock Set, where YHC delegated the cadence calling to the Chatty Kathy members of the group.
With aching shoulders and a couple of minutes to spare, slow Abe Vigodas were in order, followed by a quick mosey to the COT, circling up at 6:14:59 – that’s Fast Tax efficiency…
Name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.Thanks for the fellowship!

You Were Warned! – from Fracsac
YHC arrived a little early to set up for what would be a serious beat down. The Pax started to join, wondering why they didn’t seek a different AO since this was clearly labeled “This is gonna suck.”
A Down Range Pax from Waxhaw arrived with a couple minutes to spare, glad YHC planted a flag today. Jingles had no idea what he was getting himself into….At 0530, disclaimer given with a short mosey to the field for a warmup, which consisted of normal stuff. Only things worth mentioning were the Toy Soldiers and Moroccan Night Club where dancing was highly encouraged.
Motivator – a deconstructed SSH. That got the Pax attention!
Seven cones set out 5 yards apart for Lucky 7 BLIMPS.
7 burpees at first cone, 6 at second, and so forth. After 1 burpee run to other end zone and back and wait for the 6. Continue with Lunges, imperial walkers, merkins, plank jacks and squats.Deconstructed Burpees – squats, thrusters, merkins, thrusters, squat jumps. Once complete, put it all together for burpees with the 30 seconds remaining.
Mosey back to flag for COT
Thanks for joining me today.

They’ve Never Felt So Wrong – from Boo-Boo
12 PAX entered the Pontiff bull pen, of which ten were hoping to add another notch in their quest to have their name etched in the El Diablo bat! Tclaps to Hokie and Rudy for being the first two to complete the challenge.
A short mosey to midfield for a warmup. YHC always decides the warmup on the fly, and Rudy was quick to comment when YHC was slow in deciding the next exercise. He mistakenly took that as a sign of weakness and poor planning. The warmup included (at a minimum) SSH x31 in honor of Wally Pontiff, #31 LSU baseball; Grass Grabbers; Arm circles x10 forward and x11 backwards (to throw off Fracsac with his backwards counting); Mountain Climbers x15, PP x15; and IW x20. It is possible YHC forgot a few exercises.
The PAX were instructed to line up on the the south goal line, facing north. As YHC pulled out his phone an announced we would be recycling a stacking beatdown, with some modifications, Hawg brought during the COVID shutdown, the mumblechatter increased, with Rudy again misjudging what was about to happen. Over the laughter and heckling, YHC gave instructions to the PAX to complete the designated stacking workout with a 50 yard mosey between each set as follows:
5 burpees
5 burpees, 10 merkins
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC, 20 lunges (2/1)
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC, 20 lunges (2/1), 25 mountain climbers (2/1)
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC, 20 lunges (2/1), 25 mountain climbers (2/1), 30 plank jacks
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC, 20 lunges (2/1), 25 mountain climbers (2/1), 30 plank jacks, 35 American Hammers (2/1)
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC, 20 lunges (2/1), 25 mountain climbers (2/1), 30 plank jacks, 35 American Hammers (2/1), 40 SSH
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC, 20 lunges (2/1), 25 mountain climbers (2/1), 30 plank jacks, 35 American Hammers (2/1), 40 SSH, 45 big boi sit-ups
5 burpees, 10 merkins,15 LBC, 20 lunges (2/1), 25 mountain climbers (2/1), 30 plank jacks, 35 American Hammers (2/1), 40 SSH, 45 big boi sit-ups, 50 squats
Things got quiet around the time the mountain climbers kicked in. Funny how that happens!
COT, prayer lead by War Eagle, OUT!
It’s always an honor to lead HIM and have your leadership tested. Thanks for pushing!
