14 men braved the new world that is Phase II in North Carolina for a YHC-led beatdown. I should have known the mumblechatter was gonna be strong when I got hit from all sides for pulling up shirtless after my double-down at The Valley.

A quality disclaimer was given, noting that we no longer had to split the group until we got to 25 Pax. Then we moseyed toward the snack-shack adjacent parking lot for…

Warm-a-rama

• SSH x19
• IST x17
• Mountain Climber x15
• Daisy Picker x13
• Windmill x11
• Merkins x9

The Thang

We continued our mosey to the hill at the bottom of the lot for a quick round of 7s (6-to-1 ladder).

• CDD at the top
• Lunges at the bottom (2=1)

Form 2 lines for a socially distant Native American run, stopping at the rail. At the rail, we channeled our inner @alcatraz. Do the listed exercise the number of times listed. Each round, up the multiplier by one until we get to 4.

• 1 derkin
• 2 incline merkins
• 3 dips
• 4 air presses

Continue the Indian Run to the big parking lot at the bottom of the hill. Time for some BAMF. This acronym is very specific and indicates someone is awesome in a not-so-family friendly way. For us, it was the instructions for our game of Four Corners.

• Corner 1: 10 Burpees
• Corner 2: 20 Air Squats
• Corner 3: 30 Merkins
• Corner 4: 40 (Low) Flutters (2=1)

Plank for the 6 once done. Repeato but with half the reps.

Same song, different verse: Indian run back up the hill to the fence. Incline merkins and dips x10 in cadence. Then x5 in cadence. From there, Indian Run back down toward the snack shacks, stopping at the bottom of the hill for 5 burpees OYO.

Is it a Saturday without a Figure 8? We had time so we wouldn’t have to find out. Can’t mess with the space-time continuem. Partner 1 does listed exercise while Partner 2 runs. Both partners do each exercise twice.

• People’s Chair w/ air press
• Bobby Hurley
• Balls to the Wall

Mosey back to the finish line for…

• Mary (IC)
• The W x15
• The Squirm x15
• Pretzel Crunch x12 (each side)
