A dozen HIM’s including one FNG and one brother from Downrange posted to the Grand Finale of the DTH Farewell Tour. There was just one plan – put the musical beatdown album on random shuffle and do a ton of reps. Here’s how the PAX conquered the flesh and sent the good Doctor off in style:
The THANG:
WARMERAMA:
- Mosey loops around the lot with variable movements and circle up on the BBall Court
- Music thumpin, PAX directed to do SSH’s and Burpees while YHC provided the FNG with a breathless Welcome & Disclaimer
- The usual smattering of DTH reps IC
COP #1:
- Mosey around to the playground, and stop off to take another spin on the WHEEL OF DEATH
- Partner up, one HIM planking on the rail with his partner holding his feet
- Standing PAX walk clockwise while planking PAX grip the rail and move the Wheel of Death, then their ever-spontaneous Q called Merkins while spinning
- Switch positions with partners and they also get a clockwise turn with merkins
- Switch again for unwinding counter-clockwise and this time with Tempo merkins
- Final switch for the other half to have their turn
COP #2:
- Mosey down the road and turn onto the woods paved trail, stopping at the first pavilion
- Assorted reps called on the benches while tunes thumpin, including Wingnuts, Dips, and Derkins – with jump squats thrown in for every particular lyric heard
COP #3:
- Mosey down the trail into the woods a ways, then shift to moving lunges to the beat, then mosey a ways further to stop at the bottom of a hill
- Partner up for APD’s at the bottom while partner bear crawls back up the hill AND BACK DOWN (thanks Mudslide) for three total rounds
COP #4:
- Mosey to the next hill, even steeper, and PAX run a hill loop up and down three times
- Mosey on to the next Pavilion and plank up in front of a bench
- To the beat, walk hands from ground to seat to table top and back down in repeat for a couple minutes (until Q exhaustion), then switch to dips, then switch to Moroccan Night Clubs, the Raise the roof, and finally Beam slappers (jump up to the beat to slap pavilion beam overhead with alternating hands)
- YHC beginning to feel spent at this point but the FNG was wearing a big smile so gotta keep pushin hard
COP #5:
- Mosey the path back out toward the baseball fields, with some Bernie Sanders, and then recovery walking and squat dancing for the SIX
- 3 Matrons of the gloom walking up to the PAX, so PAX directed to plank up on either side of the trail and then drop to low plank salute as they pass – they loved this
- Line up on the Baseball field for SPRINTS – 50%, then 100%, then 75%, then Bernie
COP #6:
- Mosey around the park loop to the grass hill
- x3 Rounds running up and down the hill, with x10 Hand-release Merkins at the bottom, and x10 Squat Jumps at the top
Mosey BTTF:
- Circle up in plank and drop it to low plank for a review of the F3 Mission, Credo, and 5 CP’s. That’s TIME!

NMS: Beautiful Spring morning to bring the heat to the Rock&Roll PAX, and awesome to welcome Pierogi’s friend TROEGS to the brotherhood! He comes from PA and enjoys brewing beer, hence the nickname. Also enjoyed meeting TAILSPIN down range from Tennessee – works on helicopters and such. It’s been a tiring week for YHC finalizing a LOT of life before leaving the country and there’s also been some tough physical beatdowns through the week, so YHC was honestly gassed by about the 0740 mark. Seems a lot of the PAX were also gassed, so the nonstop high rep counts to music probably contributed. Deeply appreciate the words of encouragement and show of support from everyone. The bourbon was AWESOME Rodeo Clown – thank you for bringing it out. Will certainly miss you guys, but we’ll be back at the end of May. Keep pushing hard and sign up to Q! Yours AYE! ~DTH
