5 bootcampers and 4 runners made their way to SOT to see what Doozy had in store, we won’t talk about the runners but according to the conspiracy camera duct taped to Hardywoods van this is what happened.

Mosey to the Bus lot for COP

DQ’s, Helicopters, 10 burpees, 10 WWII’s, 9 Burpees, 9 WWII’s (Hermie starts to see a pattern) all the way to 1

Mosey to the front of the school.

33 doors lets do it

Start at door 1 with American Hammers, Door 2 Squats – so on and so on until all 33 doors are done

Little time left so why not try to get some 11’s in curb to curb

Start with 10 dips on the benches, Lunge to the opposite curb for 1 incline merkin reverse Lunges back

Time called BTTF

Numbers / Names Hardywood took us out

NMS:

NTB said no Burpees at No Toll, Not on my watch sir.

Originally YHC had planed to do Burpees and American Hammers at the doors but cooler heads prevailed.

9 warriors assembled in the gloom, most to set off on a run.

Rumor has it that the 3 boot campers accomplished a Hot Potato Q as follows:

Döner Kebab as Q:

COP – SSH, DQ, Ukranian Soldiers, Bob & Weaves, LBCs, Dollies

Run to cars and back to end of school

Touch a Tree – up to 6, different trees each time, alternate between 20 monkey humpers & 20 capital letters upon return

Muslide on Q:

Mosey to the track for Triple Check: runner to end of track and back, WWIIs, copperhead squats

Number Relay: 1-6, various exercises up and back on track

Mosey to field house for another Triple Check: run to sign, wall sit, donkey kick

Bernie up the hill

COT, where runners had returned and Tobit took us out.

Naked Moleskin:

YHC has missed some of the runners. Apologies. Please contribute and fill in whoever was missed.

Boot camp for 3 hit the spot on a beautiful morning.

We’re lucky to have this group of men pushing each other each morning. We all have things going on in our lives; thank goodness for the constant that is F3 in the mornings.

Ask Tobit about the back blast title. Good times.

3 Bootcampers, (2 of which tried to get away with the runners) decided to see what Doozy could come up with on the fly.

According to the solo walker this is what happened:

Mosey to the track for COP

DQ’s, Helicopters, Dead Man Hangs, Imperial Walkers

With perfect numbers for a Triple check why not triple check

Triple check #1

Runner – 1 lap around the track

Partner 2 – Wall sits

Partner 3 – Donkey kicks (was modified because Balls to the Wall just felt stupid)

Triple check #2 At the stairs

Runner – up far stairs around and down stairs

Partner 2 – WWII’s

Partner 3 – American Hammers

Triple check #3

Runner – from mid track to first turn and back

Partner 2 – Dips

Partner 3 – Merkins

Mosey to the hill

Bernie up the hill BTTF

Not so Lazy, Lazy Boys for the runners

Numbers / Names Rosie took us out

NMS:

With a life full of distractions and uncertainty YHC has not been taking the Q. It was good to be somewhat forced to think on my feet this morning. Thanks to Yeehaw and Mudslide for letting me take the Q and run with it.

Welcome to SOT, where you may or may not have a PAX… 0530 hits, 7 runners take off, DTH cranks the music and begins enthusiastic solo SSH’s with a nice cool breeze waving Old Glory to early Midlo commuters. McRib pulls up and saves YHC from a 45 minute solo ride. Warmerama continues, then variable mosey and burnout reps to rockin beats around the AO. McRib threw in a track stack and we conversed about all the great and small. The first F is great, the 2nd F makes it greater, the 3rd F gives it purpose. Thanks for posting brother McRib. Not sure what’s going on with the numbers at SOT, but this was the 2nd Q in the recent past where YHC was relieved when one other bootcamper showed up. Time to shake the fartsack tree. SYITG, DTH

The swarm of brightly colored MOT men left the SOT parking lot feeling quite empty, so YHC was glad to see NTB amble up with his big beautiful smile. Props to NTB for posting the day after Gumbo’s Old Glory! The Word of God says that Jesus is present where two or more believers gather in His name, so really it was a PAX of three that enjoyed 45 minutes of quality fellowship. We also did a few exercises:

7 studs joined YHC for a little jaunt around SOT. What did we do? YHC remembers most of it, but the details are a bit fuzzy since time as faded.

Warmarama – the usual. SSH, Arm Circles, Helicopters, Mixed in some Broga, Merkins, WWII’s and LBC’s.

Thang 1: Partner up for 5 reps. Partner 1 runs half way up Mt. Midlo, Part 2 does some merkins.

Thang 2: Exploring the new surroundings with a quadruple check. Wrist breakers, Squats, WWII’s – Runner runs down to the pavilion and back.

Start the mozey back to the flag. Stop for 5 burpees. Mozey a bit farther for 5 burpees and 10 merkins. Mozey on and then 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 20 WWII’s. To the top of Mt. Midlo for 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 20 WWII’s, 30 squats.

Back to the flag.

Notes: McRib was very critical of YHC’s today. A 1 star rating is likely to result. All the gents who attended Oyster’s decade of respect workout on Tuesday were pretty smoked. Congrats on that workout.

Announcements: Plenty. Check Slack.

YHC took us out.

YHC rolled into SOT with squealing tires this morning after early morning roadwork on Huguenot attempted to delay the impending beatdown. After quickly parking and running up to the flag, seven gazelles took off to the west leaving nine studs behind to see what YHC learned from his VQ last week. Off we go… to the same parking lot.

Moleskin

YHC was able to appreciate the mumble chatter a little more this morning now that the VQ-jitters are out of the way. Lots of talk about the start of school, college drop-off, middle school football, and keeping our daughters out of frat houses. Reluctantly, the NTB/Orange Crush bond continues to strengthen through the trials of SOJ beatdowns.

A swarthy sextet of gloomaphiles assembled at SOT steeling their nerves for another ride on the DTH pain train. Many SOT regulars were missing as the clock struck 0530, undeniably a tribute to NTB’s burpee-loving VQ yesterday. The MOT runners took off with the entire PAX pulled into their wake, and for a brief moment YHC questioned if anyone was staying for the beatdown. “Bootcampers this way!” and five enthusiastic PAX jumped tracks to follow DTH into greatness, as follows:

NMS:  Nice morning to bring the bricks back out for the SOJ SOT stud muffins, well at least for those baller enough to post. Nostalgia reigned supreme as bricks scraping on pavement kicked up a cap gun smell. Keep posting fellas – you get out what you put into it, and all the more when you’re doing it for the man next to you more than for yourself! Yours, DTH
