I’ve been working on an idea for a fitness challenge that would be inclusive of all PAX and needed a chance to test part of it out. Today seemed like the perfect day and this AO works for what I want to do, so let’s get after it. 17 total PAX gathered for the pledge and warmup and then we split off into two groups, seven headed off to Painlab with DaVinci and 10 poor souls made the decision to follow YHC for boot camp.
After a short mosey up up to the track at Grier I laid out the plan for this first part of the workout :
400 meter run
400 reps (100 each of Merkins, LBC’s, Squats and SSH’s)
400 meter run
200 reps (50 each of Merkins, LBC’s, Squats and SSH’s)
400 meter run
100 reps (25 each of Merkins, LBC’s, Squats and SSH’s)
400 meter run
This was the portion of the workout that I was using to help me with planning the future challenge. Keep a lookout for details coming soon. It won’t be easy, but it’s you vs. you and the goal is to help you push yourself to get better.
Next up was a mosey over to First Pres for some “extended” suicides.
Run to the first island, perform 5 Diamond Merkins and then back to the start for 5 Burpee’s. Continue in this manner increasing Diamond Merkins to 10 reps at second island, 15 reps at third island and 20 reps at fourth island. Rinse and repeat replacing Diamond Merkins with Big Boy sit ups and Burpee’s with Imperial Walker Squats.
This was the portion of the workout where the mumble chatter really got going. Sister Act began to question everyone’s form, JJ said something about this being his first (and last) time attending one of YHC’s boot camp Q’s and Short Sale was being Short Sale….encourager, antagonizer, etc.
We’ve still got a little time left so let’s mosey around to the back of the church and get in a few more reps. Bear crawls across the parking lot with 25 plank jacks at the opposite side, then lunge walk back with 25 jump squats (x3 rounds). At this point the MC has been ramped up a notch. YHC is accused of being too much like Tesla and The Nantan halts the workout to challenge Sister Act to a fight. I think the elder statesman may have stunned the bat flipper as the challenge was not accepted to my knowledge.
Time’s almost up, so it’s back to the flag where we finished up with 22 for the vets called by Pizza Man. Painlab guys joined us for the COT.

YHC issued a challenge in a BB earlier this week for the Q’s to bring a verse, encouraging word, quote, etc. to share with the PAX at the end of each workout. We discussed how something so simple could have a big impact on someone without you even knowing. DaVinci came prepared and shared Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”. Strong words brother!
