Day: February 23, 2022

Didn’t mean to get your hopes up….. like Flintstone did mine. YHC received what I thought was going to be a sweet wake up message from Flintstone at about 4:40am on Valentines day, but he just wanted me to take the Q… an honor that YHC gladly accepted! Short notice and no Stinky Weinke means we are going to put in a little distance! To learn more, YHC was told by all of the PAX that YHC just needs toby refer to JJ’s backblast from a few weeks back. Easy out for me! SHOW to KNOW! SHOWN to KNOWN! SHEW to KNEW.

Oh yeah, and Flintstone led a few PAX out for a morning ruck where I’m sure they put in some good, solid work. Do work son.

2.9 miles, BAM.

The PAX starting to show up with the threat of rain.  YHC created a workout that could be done under the awning if needed.  5:30 am time to get started.

Squat with 4 lunges at every other parking spot line.

Next up on the list “Bataan Death Crawl”.  Yes, I have been looking through the Exicon.

We lined up in a single line and started a bear crawl.  The last man dropped down and did 5 burpees. Once done PAX ran to the front of the line to lead the bear crawl.  The last man in line repeated what the first PAX did.  Once we all made it through we repeated exchanging the burpees for 5 merkins.

Now that we worked the upper body again it was time for some leg work via 11’s.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead. SYITG.

We had 10 on a cool brisk Monday morning at Mount Hollywood.   Seeing no FNG’s, but a couple of new faces I gave a quick disclaimer and reminded the pax to modify as necessary.

We took a short stroll in the parking lot for some karaoke, toy soldiers, butt kickers, and then took a jog to the  back of Rankin Elementary near the railroad tracks where we circled up for the warm up.
