8 HIM’s with an appreciation for cool temps and hard things assembled at Heartbreak for the annual DYH summer tour Q. No frisbees or cabers, just a classic ride on the pain train. Here’s what the aged vet witnessed as he stood saluting the shovel flag for the duration of the beatdown:
The THANG:
WARMERAMA:
- Moseyrama around the track
- MORNING CALL at the pullup bars (all PAX plank while individuals take turns to shout nickname & complete x5 Merkins until all PAX complete, and planking PAX complete incline merkins for every pullup done)
- Mosey and circle up on the field
- Welcome & Disclaimer
- Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom
COP #1:
- Partner up for a FIELD KILODORA
- While one partner runs to next corner and back, other partner completes reps, when reps for a given exercise completed, partners move to the next corner
- x100 Merkins
- x200 Lunges (single-count)
- x300 LBC’s
- x400 SSH’s
COP #2:
- Mosey over to Heartbreak Ridge
- Let’s play TWENTY-ONE
- Bottom x20 —> 1 Mountain Climbers
- Top x1 —> 20 American Hammers (2-ct)
- The Q got down to x8 Mtn Climbers before we called TIME
Mosey BTTF for COT:
- Counterama # 8
- Namerama
- Announcerama (see Below)
- YHC took the PAX out in Prayer
NMS: Aaaahhhh yes, good old Heartbreak Ridge where once upon a time I did my VQ. Love these fellas. That said, it was disturbing to start the day with the sound of Senior Frog repeatedly grunting his own name – perhaps the Q might have better explained the Morning Call routine before we started? That’s OK, he made up for it by “complementing” the OPUS reps, which if you think about it, are really just super slow burpees. The KILO-Dora (1000 reps) didn’t disappoint and we covered a lot of distance and time completing it, really only leaving about 13 minutes for the 21’s. After hearing the chorus of groans that issued from the PAX upon learning of our final destination, the Q decided the AO might be better called “Groaning Ridge” …but it was a solid burn to end our time, and the PAX appreciated it, even though they hated it. The Summer Tour continues! SYITG another time soon. Yours AYE! ~DTH
