17 HIM’s converged at Satan’s Hill to discover a brand spankin new SOJ GHOST FLAG planted by YHC to usurp the Q. The planned victim was WARBY, but after his recent calf strain he had asked STAE FARM to cover the Q, and as excited as SF was to lead the bootcamp, it was not to be…
The THANG:
WARMERAMA:
- While WARBY left for a walking tour of the neighborhood, the rest of the PAX took off up the Hill, then returned to circle up in the parking lot
- Welcome & Disclaimer
- Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom
COP #1 – GUTBUSTERS
- Play Ghostbusters Theme Song
- Flutters to the beat and Heels to Heaven for every “Ghostbusters” lyric
COP #2 – THE WARBY
- x20 WWII’s at the bottom of Satan’s Hill
- AYG Sprint to the top
- x20 Ranger Merkins at the top
- Bernie Sanders back down
- x10 Yurpees at the bottom (YURPEE = Burpee Variation in honor of the Ruskie (Yuri Verkhoshansky) who developed Plyometrics to train Olympians. Merkin at bottom of burpee is a clap-merkin and on up portion there are 2 tuck jumps per burpee.)
- Bring in the SIX doing ABC’s (…this has now been added as the latest in the long line in WILDCAT’s superpowers)
COP #3 – HAPPY QUADS
- Press play on the song “Happy,” by Pharrell Williams
- Hold squat in Peoples Chair, coming up with every “Happy” lyric, while overhead clapping along to the beat
PLANKORAMA INTERMISSION
- Get low and State Farm stated the F3 Mission, push back up
- Down again and Purple Rain quoted the F3 Credo, push back up
- Last time down and EF Hutton gave us the 5 Core Principles, push back up
PRO TIP for newer guys who want an easy way to remember the 5 CP’s, use the acronym FORGE:
- F – free
- O – open to all men
- R – rain or shine
- G – guys rotate the Q
- E – end with a COT
COP #4 – THE WARBY, Round 2 (insert emoji vomit face here)
COP #5:
- Grab a rock and circle up
- SATAN’S THRILLER
- Press play on MJ’s “Thriller”
- OYO choose to wither stay with STATE FARM to do coupon reps, OR join the Q running up and down Satan’s Hill
- DTH and SF switch half way
- Return the rocks
- That’s TIME!
GHOST FLAG CEREMONIOUSLY HANDED OFF TO STATE FARM, AND THEN REVIEWED THE RULES:
- Bring the Flag to any SOJ AO, plant the Ghost Flag before the kickoff time, steal the Q.
- Whoever had their Q stolen keeps the Ghost Flag to pay forward the fun at another SOJ AO in the not-so-distant future.
- Not to be implemented for special/anniversary Q’s
- Keep the flag in SOJ
COT:
- Counterama # 17
- Namerama
- Announcerama (see Below)
- YHC took the PAX out in Prayer
NMS: Awesome big group of brothers today, and GREAT to have my younger brother Flint (John H) down visiting from Philadelphia. Pretty wild to leave Bon Air in the pouring rain, get to SH where they hadn’t had a single drop, complete a completely dry beatdown, and then return to BA with ongoing pouring rain – hope you Deep South boys get some rain! Special thanks and TClaps for STATE FARM being such a game brother as to embrace the disruption of forfeiting his planned beatdown (which I’m sure would have been awesomely awful) for our inaugural SOJ Ghost Flag Takeover. Shout out to newbie KATNISS getting after it and posting everywhere, and nice to meet LACES OUT (was SO confused when you emerged from the driver’s seat of State Farm’s yellow truck, then we noticed two of the exact same truck.) Also, good to see HUTTON flexing his Summer Tour muscles, and a HAPPY 45th BIRTHDAY to WARBY! In a nod to the summer tour and during a season of seeing what YHC is physically capable of, this was YHC’s 5th Q in a row this week. #6 will be a Ruck tomorrow AM before POOL BOY’s VQ. The PAX weee encouraged this morning to step up and post/Q more, and HEIST challenged everyone to keep headlocking FNG’s – now’s the time! Very thankful for all you guys, and as always thanks for letting me lead! Yours AYE! ~DTH
Prayer Requests:
- WARBY, healing strained calf
- FLINT, healing foot tendonitis
