Today’s goal was to challenge the PAX, as well as myself. YHC has to admit, he’s been a little bit lazy since the Swamp Rabbit (of course there was a little tax deadline involved as well). That being said, you can certainly feel it after taking a little time off.
Conditions – Clear skies, great weather, probably 55-56 degrees. A crowd of 8 PAX showed up for this mornings work. Not knowing how many to expect (because I normally recruit a little), I just decided to just go with it today and was pleased with the number.
Disclaimer was given
Warm-up:
10-count Merkin Indian run around the school ending at the top of the concrete monster. As usual, this was a great way to get started and was a true #crowdpleaser.
THE THANG:
Head down the steps and meet at midfield of the grass field.
BOMBS is the routine of the day
50 Burpees – 100 OH Claps – 150 Merkins – 200 BB Sit-ups – 250 Squats
5 stations, the first being at midfield then 2-5 in the corners of each endzone.
The first exercise of BOMBS is 50 Burpees, and we’re breaking them down by 10’s.
First exercise 10 Burpees at station 1.
Run/mosey to station 2 – 100 OH Claps
Run/mosey back to station 1 – 10 Burpees
Run/mosey to station 3 – 150 Merkins
Run/mosey back to station 1 – 10 Burpees
Run/mosey to station 4 – 200 Big Boy Sit-ups
Run/mosey back to station 1 – 10 Burpees
Run/mosey to station 5 – 250 Squats
Run/mosey back to station 1 – 10 Burpees
Anyone finishing early do 25 reps of each B-O-M-B-S exercise in order until time is called.
Time was called when most were somewhere in the squat phase, except for Special K who had moved on.
And for a nice little Cool-down:
Run up steps and to bottom of concrete monster. Run up and down the monster until time is called (approximately 6min).
Count-a-rama: 8

NMS:
- I think the number of reps was enjoyed by all PAX
- PAX really seemed to enjoy the Merkins and Big Boys, and I think some even took home some strawberries
- Got the text from Baby Blu at 2:50 this morning – he was still awake and wasn’t gonna post. Get well Blu!
- Somehow Pusher started the merkins after Special K but finished before him. Impressive Pusher! 🙂
- Great weather and time for the guys to get back at it. Hope to see more PAX posting soon.
As always, it was an honor to lead such a great group of men. Until next time, Bean is out!
