There seems to be a lot of talk about drinking buttermilk at The Fighting Yank on Saturday’s and since YHC isn’t a big fan of any type of milk I’ve been staying away. Figured it was time to man up and see what was really going on and no better way to do so than to take the Q. A total of 22 PAX, including one FNG fresh from the far reaches of the galaxy, were ready to roll at 0700.

The disclaimer was continually interrupted by a passing train, so we started off with 5 burpees and headed off to Airline Ave. where we got things started. The regulars at The Yank are well known for their tremendous upper body strength so YHC wanted to make sure the PAX had an opportunity to showcase this early on in the workout. Run down Airline stopping at each power pole for 5 burpee’s, run back with 5 HR Merkins at the same spots and then one last trip with 5 Diamond Merkins. We then took a lap around the town to showcase the guns and ended up at the Pit.

 

Time now for a 10 to 1. Perform 10 reps of each exercise then run to the far cone and back. Repeat with 9,8….all the way down to 1. Exercises were Dirty Hookups IC, wall jumps and Big Boy sit ups. Finish up with the 6 and take another lap around the town.

Back in the Pit where 5 sets of cones are set up. Perform 1 burpee then run to the first cone for 10 Merkins. Back to the start for 2 burpee’s then run to the first cone for 10 Merkins and the second cone for 20 American Hammers. Back for 3 burpee’s then 10 Merkins, 20 AH’s and 30 squats, then 4 burpee’s, 10 Merkins, 20 AH’s, 30 squats and 40 shoulder taps. Last cone was 5 burpee’s, 10 Merkins, 20 AH’s, 30 squats, 40 shoulder taps and 50 LBC’s and then we worked back down the pyramid. Time for another lap around the town and head to the flag for a couple minutes of Mary.

YHC took us out.

Great group of guys this morning and the numbers for this AO are really growing. I kept looking for buttermilk, but never found it.  Maybe there is a buttermilk speakeasy in Belmont and you aren’t given the location until deemed worthy???

I think we also may have established a new record time for naming an FNG. Welcome Josh Grotke, now known as Uranus.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead,

I’m Broke
