YHC and Broadway took the banana clown truck to Buckingham to pound the pavement with 5 Bridge badasses. As usual – it was an excellent experience with an amazing group of HIMs. If you are looking for a humbling and inspiring experience, come to the Bridge!! These guys pushed it hard, and shared some really amazing personal stories. The mascot pups roaming the grounds sniffed the following beatdown.

  • Warmarama
    • roaming warm-up: Football drills, merkins, squats, calf raises
  • Light Pole Suicides
    • Run Down, Bernie Back
    • 2 Burpees
    • Increase a light pole each time, increase 2 reps of burpees each time (up to 10 burpees)
    • Red rocks smoked it!
  • SEAL PFT – 2 Minute Maximums
    • PAX with most reps called an Ab exercise
    • 2 minute HR Merkins – Tank for the win with 65!!

I cannot say enough how thankful I am to Upchuck, TYA, and Vinny for helping lead this cause. It reminds us all that if not for the grace of God our lives could have ended up differently. And even then, programs like this give men that second shot/helping hand they deserve. Shout out to Broadway for making the long trip with me to help bring some light and motivation to these men. Also shout out to @hardywood, these guys loved their new shoes and put them to good use! Honored to be part of this outreach.
