After a weekend on call, YHC didn’t have the mental sharpness to craft an overly complicated playlist and workout theme, but sometimes you just need to get out into the gloom and get better. Six HIM came out to join the fun.
PAX: Hi_Viz, PA, Porcelain, Pumpkin Spice (FIFO), Right Said, Vector (QIC)
Conditions: 35 not-quite-Ironclad-credit degrees and perfect
Mosey to the back of WEMS for the
Warm-o-rama: SSH x 20, WMH x 12, LBAC x 15, Seal Claps x 15, Reverse LBAC x 15, Good Mornings x 12
Partner up for first round and mosey to the front of the school.
First Round: Pendulum DORA
Partner #1 starts — 100 incline merkins, 200 LBCs, 300 squats with Partner #2 running first to the right side of the school to perform 3 burpees, then run past the PAX to the left side of the school, perform 3 burpees, head to middle to tag partner.
Second Round:
At step risers by playground, PAX perform Dips as one-at-a-time each walk along the wall hands-to-elbows (a walking Makhtar N’Diayes – Ugh, UNC Sucks) and restart Dips on other end until PAX finished. Rinse & repeat.
Third Round:
7s: Pull-ups and Bavarian Split Squats.
With some time left, max-out pull-ups with partner to reach 40.
Mosey to parking lot for Mary of Flutter Kicks, Alabama Prom Dates, Hello Dolly, WWIs, 30-60-90 degrees, and Boxcutters. Time called.

COT:
- The Scorpion is coming – CSAUP on the Wild Westside, 4 AOs, plenty of fun. HC today! 0600 on March 23.
- Prayers for Bad Boy, his M, and impending 2.1 after an unexpected fall.
- Discussed importance of having HIM out even if on IR — use time to do PT or modify but still part of the PAX.
- Plenty of Q spots open for March! Sign up today!
- Closed out by noting that on some days, you may not have the energy to plan a theme/overcome fatigue, but important to keep moving forward. I’m grateful with each post for the HIM who have made me better and keep pushing me to be a HIM. ISI. Was an honor to lead you men this morning. SYITG,
