YHC pulled up at 5:12 due to forgetting to put the two tires and maul in the truck the night before. YHC didn\u2019t see any movement from the Doxs household this morning so i figured I\u2019d park in the coveted Doxs parking spot. Little did I know I would be stealing his Thang from the beatdown before.<\/p>\n

Warmarama started immediately
\nSSH
\nWindmills
\nArm circles
\nCherry pickers
\nImperial walkers
\nAnd a bumper mosey to get the juices flowing.<\/p>\n

And Yes Tana there is now a road where the bumper used to be. <\/p>\n

Thang 1<\/p>\n

Thang 1 merkin mile
\nWhen YHC started, Tuesday Tuff was fairly new but it seemed to always start with a merkin mile around rich man\u2019s loop.So that\u2019s what I proposed to do this morning even with Gooses look of displeasure. Apparently a merkin mile was completed on Monday, and to be fair YHC had ever my intention of showing up said Monday but a call out fart sack was in my forecast for the day. Therefore YHC had a decision to make, do we deviate from the plan or do we get tuff on this Tuesday. Which is exactly what we did. YHC has a strange liking for the merkin mile even though it always ends with the entire PAX picking up the six (me). It reminds me that no matter how out of shape YHC gets, the PAX is there to welcome me back into the fold. The merkin mile consist of running a mile around rich man\u2019s loop stopping every quarter mile to do 25 merkins ending back at the stage. Somehow this was AB\u2019s first merkin mile and sounded like it wouldn\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n

After YHC recovered enough to make words we jumped right into Thang 2<\/p>\n

Thang 2 The burpee and the hammer<\/p>\n

When YHC started coming to beatdowns there seemed to be a big deal about burpees. The pax loved to give them out but hated to do them. Also YHC loves to hit thing with a hammer the bigger the hammer the better. Therefor we will be pounding a pair of tires with a 10 lb maul and we will work on all things burpee. The tire pounding timer will be ten swings at one tire, Bearcrawl with hammer to next tire and 10 more swings at that tire. Then bear crawl back. While this is taking place. The other pax\u2019s will be at other stations <\/p>\n

Station 1 standard perfect burpee to work on form
\nStation 2 manmakers or blockees for AB
\nStation 3 goblet squats
\nStation 4 4 thrusters
\nStation 5 groiners shout out to YJ
\nStation 6 hand release merkins
\nStation 7 jump squats
\n(This is not the actual order of stations, but YHC winged the order for no particular reason other than to make it more confusing on myself.)
\nAfter one round of this with not much communication from the PAX and YHC checking the time on his phone way more than necessary we did a Lightning round of 3 swings Kareoke 3 swings kareoke back.
\nAfter this we moved into 4 minutes of Mary.<\/p>\n

4 minutes of Mary
\nWW1 sit-ups with terrible cadence presented by yours truly
\nDr. W\u2019s by goose
\nFreddy Merkins by AB
\nV ups by Tana finishing perfectly on 0600.<\/p>\n

After this we had COT and talked about the upcoming convergence in NOLA and Safety Valve prayed us out. Thanks for embracing the suck with me.
