18 brave and fearless warriors rose to greet the dawn of a new day. According to legend, it went a little something like this.
From the parking lot each man grabs a cinder block of success (CBOS) and run to field for COP.
COP: IC SSH X 20, DQ X 10, ACF X 15, ACR X 15, LBC X 20, FM X 20, Merkin X 10
MIRACLE MILE: Mosey over to track with CBOS and complete four laps in the following style;
- Loop 1 – Each man runs lap solo with CBOS.
- Loop 2 – Partner up. First man runs with two CBOS. Second man completes 1 burpee then runs to first man. Once first man is caught, men switch positions. First man drops CBOS and completes 1 burpee and pursues the second man who picked up both CBOS and started running. Do this until completion of lap.
- Loop 3 – Switch partners. Same as above but with 2 burpees.
- Loop 4 – Switch partners. Same as above but with 3 burpees.
PYRAMID OF SUCCESS: Mosey over to the middle of the tennis courts and partner up. Each partner grabs a CBOS and runs to the opposite end of the tennis court. Complete the following exercises.
- Round 1 – 10 burpees the run to middle. Meet partner and complete 10 boo-yah merkins. Plank when done.
- Round 2 – 15 squat press with CBOS touching the ground and then being pressed to full extension overhead then run to the middle. Meet partner and complete 10 boo-yah merkins. Plank when done.
- Round 3 – 20 kettle bell swings with CBOS then run to the middle. Meet partner and complete 10 boo-yah merkins. Plank when done.
- Round 4 – 40 incline merkins. Complete 20 with right hand on CBOS, left hand on ground. Then 20 with left hand on CBOS, right hand on ground then run to the middle. Meet partner and complete 10 boo-yah merkins. Plank when done.
Pax meet at the end of the court with all men holding CBOS overhead in cadence for a 20 count. Mosey back to the flag with CBOS.
One Minute of Mary: 20 Copperhead Squats in cadence with CBOS.

Way to DOMINATE gents. It’s a privilege to get creative for you guys. Have a great Thursday and keep on being super.
Great Q, Hardywood. Your enthusiasm was the only thing keeping me going at several points in this workout.
DK- Iron sharpens iron.
An early meeting almost had me skipping 45MOM today. I’m glad I decided to risk it. I would have been disappointed if I’d missed that epic beat down. Thanks Hardywood for being you. Good times.
Love a block workout – thanks for bringing it back Hardywood…
Way to work guys..
See y’all in the gloom..
Saying I’m sore today would be a massive understatement. Well done. I see the SOJ gang experienced the CBOS today. Next stop Mechanicsville?
