12 Bootcampers & 2 Ruckers got after it on a Saturday morning at The Fighting Yank. Lots of reps, not a lot of running, something about fish at Christmas and a photo op that went south in a hurry. Here’s what I remember…
The Thang:
To the Bunker for the warmup. We lost the ruckers already:
- 10 x SSH (IC)
- 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
- 10 x Hillbilly Walkers (IC)
- 10 x Can Openers (IC)
- 10 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
- 10 x Hello Dollies (IC)
- 10 x Mike Tysons (IC)
Anyone who really didn’t want to run was gone, so we took a quick mosey and ended up… right back where we started, at the Bunker.
- 15 x Superman Pullups (IC)
- 15 x American Hammers (IC)
- 15 x Single Leg Glute Bridge R (IC)
- 15 x Single Leg Glute Bridge L (IC)
YHC put on Christmas music, and we heard “Run Rudolph Run” twice in 3 songs, and an ad for tuna fish, which somehow turned into a Christmas Carol about tuna.
Lazy Dora
Partner Up – One PAX does called exercises, other does the called hold
- 100 x Apollo Ohnos / 6 inches
- 200 x Moroccan Nightclubs / Balls on the Ground (like a Merkin, you just don’t come back up)
- 300 x Toe Touches / Wall Sits
Enough of the Bunker, off we go. In front of The Station for
- 20 x Dips (OYO)
- 20 x Step Ups (OYO – count each step)
Mosey on around back down Glenway to the big parking lot to watch guys on bikes take 30 minutes to do anything, while we got into round 2 of…
- 15 x Superman Pullups (IC)
- 15 x American Hammers (IC)
- 15 x Single Leg Glute Bridge R (IC)
- 15 x Single Leg Glute Bridge L (IC)
Back with your partners, one stays and performs called exercise, the other runs to the end of the long parking lot and back. Switch when they get back and do same exercises. Here’s the exercises picked…
- Perfect Form Merkins
- Reverse Lunges
- Boat Pose

Was so much fun, we had to do it twice.
Mosey past Jekyll & Hyde to Nellies for one last round of…
- 15 x Superman Pullups (IC)
- 15 x American Hammers (IC)
- 15 x Single Leg Glute Bridge R (IC)

Triple Nickel on the Weinke. No time for all that. Let’s just travel as a group and get done what we get done.
- 5 x Burpees (OYO)
We started to mosey back down the street when our Nantan-elect ordered up a group photo. 11 PAX, shoulder-to-shoulder, all the way across the street, and a SUV looking for a way through, parked in the parallel spots trying to thread the needle by us, with a mail truck way off in the distance. Sounds like a perfect time for YHC to call some monkey humpers. Did about 3, but we needed to get out of the road. Cars were trying to get by. Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2023 SLT!
- Short Mosey
- 30 x Monkey Humpers (OYO – to the beat of Christmas Vacation)
- Short Mosey

Back to the Yank, arriving with the ruckers for COT.
Moleskin:
This was the first Bootcamp I’ve led in 3 months. Glad to get back at it. Thanks for the opportunity lead and get after it with a solid group of HIMs.
