What does the county of Greenwood have against cutting the dang grass at the Epicenter! Sheesh Polly, can’t you talk to somebody over at headquarters? Okay, okay Duggar’s whining, I admit it.
5:15 and not near as humid as has been…that was nice. 73/74* I think. Mosey to the soccer field (aka: short grass area) for

Capri did let it be known he missed the usual Morning Glory called by YHC. Next time bro.
THE THANG
YHC called for pax to grab coupons and gather by the first of 4 cones that formed a square on the soccer field. Gonna knock out some ascending and descending (quasi) escalators. I suppose most corner station type exercises are done in a clock-wise manner, well not this morning. YHC went counter-clockwise. Had NO idea it would cause such chatter…these creatures of habit. I say quasi-escalators because these stations did NOT include the reps from the station prior. Lots of reps though. Here’s how it went:
Corner 1 25 Thrusters
Corner 2 50 Merkins
Corner 3 75 Mtn Climbers (count one leg)
Corner 4 100 Curls
Pax are carrying their coupons the whole time here. Once this was done, start back down. Just simple reversing it. 200 curls w/o breaking was tough but all completed it. By this point we had some pax beginning to break away, Capri…Flossy…Baby Blu…Woodpecker (this man obviously had a good night sleep, he was rocking!). Completion of this gave us 500 reps.
Before the next ascending and descending (quasi) escalator YHC called for pax to knock out 200 Block Presses OYO. Again, this was tough. 700 reps complete. It was here the chorus of flatulence began. What da world…I’m pretty sure someone pooped their pants at one point.
Next Escalator:
Corner 1 15 Atomic Merkins
Corner 2 30 Big Boy Sit-ups (with your block)
Corner 3 45 Bent-Over Rows
Corner 4 60 Plank Jax
We did this in reverse order to begin with, ending on the A.M. 850 reps for all pax! YHC has to recognize a couple studs, Capri and Flossy. Finishing the initial ascent before the rest of us so they began going back down, hence the +. Flossy got through Rows and Capri BBSU.
BOM
DEVO: YHC ashamedly did not have a thought out word of devotion for the pax (not good, should ALWAYS have brief 3rdF after each workout) so I improvised with a scripture verse I’ve had memorized for years: Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean NOT unto your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your path.” Spoke briefly on what it means to trust the Lord, for everything.
Announcements: Convergence on 9-17. BRR quickly approaching.
Prayer: remember Baby Blu’s daughter and husband and their efforts to grow a family. Blue Ball and his family. Praise, Rodman is back safe and sound and by all accounts, had a good trip.
Until next time,
Duggar
