Light Rain, Cool Mud, Streetlight Gloom, 50# Kettlebell, 10’ Caber, Classic Rock, 60# Sandbags, balmy 60 degrees, DTH Mobile Pull-up Station, and 8 heroic badass HIMs embracing the suck and conquering the day before it even began.  Here’s what the fartsackers missed:

The THANG: 

WARMERAMA: 

  • Mosey lap and circle up
  • Welcome & Disclaimer
  • Warm-up Reps IC

PAIN TRAIN STATIONS:

  • #50 Kettle Bell Sumo Squats
  • Caber Flips (lift heavy end to flip over repeatedly)
  • DTH Mobile Pullup Station – alternate pullups with chin-ups with Negatives
  • #60 Sandbag Chest Press
  • Abbs – Crunchy Frogs or Hammers
  • #60 Sandbag Clean
  • Burpees
  • TIMER: Runs the field loop, then all PAX rotate stations
  • x2 Rounds completed

HIGHLAND GAMES:

  • Switch the Music to Scottish Pipes&Drums
  • DTH demonstrate the Caber Toss and sets the distance to beat at 11 paces
  • While each man takes a turn flipping the caber, the rest of the PAX complete OYO reps – squats, imperial walkers, humpers, WWII’s, single leg shoulder taps, etc
  • Ran out of time to try the Hammer Throw & 50# KB Throw …next time

Circle up for COT:

  • Counterama # 8
  • Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • BOM Prayer – lifting up the health and safety of THREE 2.0’s coming int the world in 2026, as well as Figo’s M who admitted with a psych scare
  • Coffeerama at the Polk House!

NMS:  This was a FANTASTIC group of brothers for some CSAUP fun in the rain. Definitely challenged with the circuit reps and the mobile pull-up station worked out just fine! Nobody beat the DTH caber flip distance but a couple guys got close. To be fair this is YHC’s 12th year competing in the Henderson family Highland Games (coming up in 2 weeks) so experience pays off. The Coffeerama was amazing!!! What an awesome venue Machismo has created for this AO. And we had the very pleasant surprise visit from Snuff to join the hearty conversation. God is good ALL the time brothers. Yours AYE! ~DTH
