17 Pax committed to improving by posting at the Mothership on this humid first Saturday morning in September. YHC knows that men continue to post because of challenging beat downs, so YHC knew he had to continue the trend with a challenging, yet interesting Q. This was especially important this day with the Kotter post of Bagasse and Mr Awesome!
Once the men from the Bible Study arrived and planted the shovel flag, it was time! But first, the disclaimer……and then
The Thang
Mosey to the Great Lawn and circle up for a warm up.
SSH IC x 5….
The Pax questions only 5 SSH! If only Shorty had posted, YHC would have said, “Warmup? That’s Pish-Posh!”
10 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5…..9 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5…..8 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5…..7 Burpees OYO
Mumble Chatter has ceased before it even started…..
SSH IC x 5…..6 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5…..5 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5…..4 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5…..3 Burpees OYO

Mosey to the side of the Great Lawn (short mosey) for some merkin ladders.
20 merkins one side, run across and do 19 merkins, back across for 18 merkins…..blah blah blah
Back across until ending with 1 merkin.
That’s 210 merkins each with a whole lot of running! Well done again Pax!
Mosey past NOMA and head towards Lagoon Number Seven, stopping on a patch of grass between the sidewalk of Lelong Drive and the walking/biking path. Many of the Pax were extremely confused during this mosey, and the mumble chatter started to emerge. YHC knew one way to shut that down….time to bring out the dreaded Dirty Mac Deuce!
4 Sets of 3 exercises, 12 x 4 count each. One Upper Body, One Lower Body, and One Core. Then run a lap.
Set 1

Mosey to the well groomed lawn at NOMA for some Mary, all IC
Dr W….8 was enough of this 8 count pile of miscounting….but always a good one!
Flutter Kicks x 10
Hello Dolly x 10
Mosey back to the flag for count off, name-o-rama, announcements and a closing prayer.
Moleskin
Hawg is hosting a daily challenge throwdown to any Pax interested. Just ask to join the Iron Sharpens Iron Group Me and get started.
Da Parish is hosting a homebrew competition in “Da Parish” at 5 PM today, sounds like a great time! Check the Group Me app for details.
Keep SE Texas in your thoughts and prayers, and keep an eye out for opportunities to help. T-Claps to those that have already started helping.
YHC wanted to create a workout that would be challenging, but not boring. YHC would never push himself to do this sort of thing on his own. The Pax did 64 Burpees, 270 merkins, and over 3 miles of running according to mapmyrun. The coffeeteria F2 after the beatdown is always a great experience, YHC always looks forward to it!
Thanks for posting with me today, and thanks for allowing me to lead.
