Let Freedom Sizzle.
On America’s birthday, 8 HIM showed up in the soup-thick gloom ready for a beatdown laced with liberty. YHC fired off a bold “Let’s go!” — but Charmin grumbled about skipping the disclaimer. No worries. We circled up, waited for Kenna Bra to roll in (fashionably late as usual), and dropped the legal coverage just in time.

Bonus Round: American History Trivia
Every wrong answer = 3 burpees. With only 2 wrong, we totaled 6 penalty burpees. The PAX knew their USA—

Partner Up. Time to Earn Your Freedom.
One PAX grabbed a rock, the other stayed behind where Mayhem led some not so famous Mayhem Merkins. Then the real fireworks started.

The Beatdown – Freedom Intervals 🇺🇸
Round 1:
Shuttle Runs (25, 50, 75, 100 yds)

P1: Runs

P2: Burpees until tagged

Swap out and repeat

Round 2:
Same shuttle format

P2 does: Rock Thrusters

Cue grunts. Stars begin to appear (in vision, not sky).

Round 3:
Same shuttle format

P2 does: Merkins

At this point, forearms were writing letters of resignation.

Round 4 – The Melting Pot:
25yd = Burpees
50yd = Thrusters
75yd = Merkins
100yd = Big Boys

P2 cycles through this combo until P1 returns.

Freedom ain’t free, boys.

Closing Moments:
While Partner 2 group returned the rocks, YHC called out some Mary. Then we sprinted to the flag, shirts soaked in freedom.

We closed in gratitude for the courage of those who came before us, and YHC reminded the PAX that this country was founded on Christian values, and the words “In God We Trust” still matter.

Intentions lifted. Freedom honored. Coffee consumed (PLC).

Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸 AYE!
