Conditions: Foggy, springy, and perfect for chaos<\/p>\n

Disclaimer? What disclaimer? YHC was so locked in on the plan that a PAX had to ask if we were doing one. Oops. Onward.<\/p>\n

Warm-up at the Rock Pile:<\/p>\n

Low Slow Squats<\/p>\n

Hillbillys<\/p>\n

Grass Grabbers<\/p>\n

4-Count Wife Pleasers<\/p>\n

Peter Parkers<\/p>\n

Shoulder Taps<\/p>\n

Game On: Grinder Relay
\nTeams of two. One rock per team. Rifle carry to the Indian Mound with rock hand-offs mid-journey. Let the madness begin.<\/p>\n

Round 1 \u2013 4 Rounds, 3 Sets:
\nSet 1:<\/p>\n

P1: Bear crawl up, crawl bear down<\/p>\n

P2: 10 Thrusters + Big Boys until tagged<\/p>\n

Set 2:<\/p>\n

P1: Mound repeat<\/p>\n

P2: 10 Shoulder Presses + Big Boys<\/p>\n

Set 3:<\/p>\n

P1: Mound repeat<\/p>\n

P2: 10 Rock Swings + Big Boys<\/p>\n

Scoring was based on total Big Boy sit-ups per team\u2026 which got chaotic fast.<\/p>\n

Mahatma started crawling before instructions were even done (classic), tanking his team\u2019s strategy from the start.<\/p>\n

Round 2 \u2013 1 Round, 3 Sets:
\nNow with lunges instead of crawls. Exercises included:<\/p>\n

Burpees<\/p>\n

Squats<\/p>\n

Bent-Over Rows
\n(And yes, more Big Boys\u2026 so many Big Boys.)<\/p>\n

Winners: Kilo and Mayhem \u2013 focused, efficient, and didn\u2019t ask how many reps the other teams had.
\nDQ\u2019d Teams:<\/p>\n

Vagabond: Spent more time asking for others\u2019 counts than doing his own.<\/p>\n

Mahatma & Hand Grenada: Jumped the gun, ignored instructions, and swapped bear crawls for lunges due to\u2026 stickers.<\/p>\n

Penalty: Losers carried the winners\u2019 rock back. Because pain builds character.<\/p>\n

COT: Quick name-o-rama, a prayer to be grateful for strong bodies (and tougher minds), and we called it a wrap.<\/p>\n

Moral of the story:
\nFollow instructions. Respect the stickers. Never trust a Q who skips the disclaimer.<\/p>\n

AYE! \ud83d\udc4a<\/p>\n
