  • YHC at the OG – from Fracsac

    YHC hasn’t been to the West Bank in some time, so a visit was in order. The Pax eagerly handed the Q of the OG to YHC.

    Short Bus, Slinger, FireFox, and T-Square were ready for what YHC had in store….so a disclaimer was given.

    Warmup consisted of regular stuff, minus The Moroccan Night Club, which was noticed and YHC was happy to hear! That will be fixed in the future!

    The Pax was a bit quiet, in need of Motivation!

    Motivator!! (Want more info? Just ask!)

    Mosey to the top of the levee for Route 66 with burpees.

    We couldn’t stop at just 66, so add 4 for 70.

    Mosey to the river steps for sets of incline merkins, step ups, box jumps, and dips.

    Back to the flag for some more cardio, Embrace the Suck! 7 SSH, 7 Merkins and 7 Bobby Hurleys over and over for 3 minutes. Goal was 8 rounds, some got close.

    Finish off with Mary, with a little Pax Choice.

    COT

    Loved visiting my brothers on the Wank!
