Objects on the field are heavier than they appear – from Kenna Brah
With a truckload of HIM building gear YHC arrived to find 3 chilly PAX anxiously preparing for a BD,
Said PAX assisted YHC with getting the gear on the field. While enduring questions and jests as to the objects of the gear we set about warming up. Other PAX trickled in as we did.

Fitmas Part Deux, con Roca – from Bolt
YHC saw the Q sheet open AGAIN and began to wonder what type of site Q runs the Uptowner—ah yes, that’d be YHC. Looking forward to Mayhem taking up the mantle in ‘24; it’s your time, brother!
YHC came in hot with Satchmo and then had key fob issues to retrieve the JBL, further delaying our start such that Frac had to start warmorama.
YHC entered the circle and being Fitmas season, decided Frac’s gift for keeping us on time would NOT be forcing him to consume the requisite Bolt warmorama song—many pax were pleased. All the usual stuff and then off to the rock pile to select a medium rock and off to the parking lot.
The Thang:
12 Days of Fitmas con roca.
Day 1: Mosey across the parking lot with rock in rifle carry back and forth as days are added, SSH on the 6.
Day 2: Diamond merkins
Day3: Squat Thrusters, rock
Day 4: Reverse Lunges (2:1, rock)
Day 5: Blockees
Day 6: Box Cutters
Day 7: Tricep coupon presses
Day 8: Plank Jacks
Day 9: Overhead rock presses
Day 10: Big Boy sit-ups
Day 11: Curls
Day 12: Mtn. ClimbersMr. Rogers got so far ahead of YHC that I accused him of skipping squat thrusters—nope, he’s just that much of a beast (wearing his weighted vest). At time and still completing the BD, we rushed back to the pile and then the flag, COT.

A Variety Pack – from Mahatma
Looking at the open holes in the Q sheet YHC figured the only way to fill them is to step up one at a time.
On the drive to El Diablo wheels were turning as to ideas of keeping the beatdown moving one “thing” after another. Always an effort to keep some blocks on hand they know doubt would be added to the mix. At 5:30 5 men were ready to go – dragging along the 2 blocks we headed to the football field to warm up. At some point during our initial stretch a 6 pax sauntered in only as a “Rebel” can!
Warm Up
Scantrons
Side lungs
Grass grabbers
SSH
Peter Parker Peter
Shoulder Taps
Mnt Man PoopersBleacher run with 5 burpees at either end.
10 minutes to move the block from one endzone and back – pretty simple huh
2 teams of 3 pax and 1 block line up at the goal line
all pax bear crawl to cadence (keeping a somewhat controlled pace) 1 pax rifle carries block out 20 yds returns to the bear crawling pax, next up runs ahead to the block and rifle Carries another 20 yds this continues through all pax until reaching the opposite goal line.Coming back repeat but Block Kong replaces the riffle carry.
Completed in 6:28
Mosey to the picnic pavilion
365 (apparently there was a little miss understanding of the “6” and some pax substituted only 5 which makes a difference in 5 rounds)
3 THREE Burpees
6 SIX Box Jumps (step ups can be substituted, if you are in a comfort zone)
5 FIVE Rounds
Non Stop calling out each completed rounds
Mr Rogers was the beast finishing 1st with a 20# vest!Circle Up for some Mary:
V Holds
Gas pump with Hello Dolly
Dr W’sMosey to the outhouse
YHC was looking for the perfect wall and we found it.
All pax started in a sqt position, 1 by 1 each pax assumed a balls to the wall (this was done VERY loosely) and then wall crawled from one end to the other.
Rinse and Repeat
Now for some descending JackWebs
20 air press 10 merkins
18 then 9
16 then 8
And so on.Mosey to the bleacher corral for more Mary:
V Ups
Alt sitting straight leg touches
X factor
WWI SU
Freddie MercuriesLat pulls along the bleachers
Not enough room for decline merkins yet even with some belly aching that time should have expired we had 5 minutes!Back to the field – a block under pull race of course there was controversy as to what line and who got cheated so we all won 5 burpees to finish up.
T Claps to MacGyver for posting after he completed his overnight shift. This lad is a solid example of what young men could use as an example.
COT – as we gathered in the cage what to our surprise a clean sweat less triple shift bounds into the circle bringing our # to 7! Be ready and don’t take anything for granted! Thanks be to God!
