    7 HIM’s showed up to Satan’s Hill expecting 45 minutes of Jazzercise. Nancy ended up going OOT so YHC stepped in to lead the boys! Purple Rain was apparently talking some mess about YHC’s boot camps so a BRUTAL plan was in place. However, he wasn’t able to make it out today so the PAX was in luck.

    9 grown-boys showed up to Timberwolf this morning for some HR Derby. Here’s what went down…

    WARMARAMA – Took a lap through the parking lot in the front of the school. It has been a MINUTE since we showed that side any love. Circled up, gave the mission and stretched out. After YHC drove the truck around trying to find an ideal spot, Flyboy spotted a corner of the tennis courts that would prove to be a mini Fenway with a high wall in left field.

    The Thang – HR Derby

    • (10) swings for Round 1 and (5) swings for Round 2.
    • The PAX performed (3) burpees in between at-bats while the batter took a lap after his cuts.
    • Each catch in the field would trim off (1) burpee so Fandango only did a handful of burpees today.
    • Crabgrass ripped one of the loudest/funniest fart that YHC has ever heard. It sounded like a small bear.
    • The PAX did their best to keep Meatball at bay but he led the way with (7) dingers with a few of us finishing at (5). The dude has a pretty swing!

    The Boys of Summer points

    • (1) for YHC for the Q
    • (1) for Matlock for all-time pitcher
    • (1) for Meatball for bringing all the equipment out

  • THE…state university of Ohio

    13 grown-boys showed up to The Woodshed this morning expecting a classic Nancy Lopez beatdown but YHC had other plans. After seeing that Nancy had his Q taken from him last Friday at Satan’s Hill, YHC felt that it was necessary to reunite the flags.

    WARMARAMA – Went for a mosey that was longer than the cumulative running that Nancy had in mind. Circled up, gave the mission, explained the Ghost Flag and stretched out. Extra stretches today 😉

    COP #1: Ohio State fun facts on the field

    • Marcus Freeman (GO IRISH!) was a linebacker for OSU and wore #1. Therefore, each of the exercises below came after QTY (1) run to the other end of the field and back. ~200 total yards.
      • (7) Merkins for the WR wearing #7 that drew a BS PI call in the 2003 Natty.
      • (13) Squats for Maurice Clarett’s (13) game suspension in 2003. (2) burpees for his (2) felonies.
      • (12) Merkins for the (12) wins that were vacated in 2010
      • (5) Burpees for Terrell Pryor’s 5-game suspension in 2010
      • (6) Squats for Ezekial Elliot’s (6) game suspension for his actions at OSU
      • (3) Burpees for Urban Meyer’s (3) game suspension in 2018
      • (31) LBC’s for the (31) confirmed arrests at UF while under Urban Meyer

    COP #2: 4 Corners

    YHC asked Nancy how many total wins that the OSU program has. He came really close but the answer was 978. Solid total but only good enough for 2nd all time. Who’s first? It took two guesses but Nancy got it…but mispronounced the name. YHC was looking for “The team up North” rather than the “M” word so the PAX suffered (5) additional burpees at each corner.

    • Corner #1: (9) Arm Circles + (5) Burpees
    • Corner #2: (7) CDD’s + (5) Burpees
    • Corner #3: (8) Squats + (5) Burpees
    • Corner #4: (5) Burpees

    COP #3: Triple Check

    • YHC handed the remaining (8) minutes to Nancy.
    • Pacer: Run to the end of the parking lot and back
    • Exercise #1: LBC’s

    15 grown-boys ran around a field this morning and got after it! If the PAX had their way, the title of today’s workout would have had something to do with “Diddy.” But it’s not, so here’s what went down!
