Tha Thang:

Chess Men: Ben Franklin wrote that the “game of chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by it … .” The PAX strengthened themselves by completing the following chess-inspired moves across the board :
– Rook: overhead CB carry (55 yards; mosey back);
– Knight: two broad jumps jumps forward; one to the side (55 yards; mosey back);
– Bishop: side shuffle (55 yards out; 55 yards back);
– Queen: traveling burpee (55 yards; mosey back);
– King: 2x lunge walk, 1x squat, 3x air press (move one one square at a time, sit on a throne, raise arms in triumph) (55 yards; mosey back); and
– Pawn: bear crawl (55 yards; mosey back)

Twenty-One: The PAX played black jack, drawing cards to determine the number of repetitions of: CB overhead press; CB bent-over row; CB swings; Atlas shrug (with CB); and CB curls. The PAX performed the rep count drawn, then ran 55 yards and completed the number of burpees required to get to 21. Drawing more than 21 was discouraged by performing all the reps, bear-crawling 55 yards, then performing 10 burpees. The PAX repeated the exercises twice.

Mary: LBCs; Flutter Kicks

COT: In spending time with my school-age sons recently, YHC has been struck by how much we (both young and less young) learn by playing. Consider where in your life you can play more and perhaps learn something in the process.

THE THANG:

Circle of Pain: (1) Sumo-squat-high-jump-sprint-wave – All PAX held deep sumo-squats with hands fully extended overhead, first member executes high jump, then takes off sprinting around circle back to original spot. As soon as first member passes second member, second member high-jumps and take off sprinting. All PAX followed for three rounds. (2) ring-around-the-diamonds – PAX circled up with everyone executing high-knees in place, first member takes off sprinting around circle, second member drops and executes diamond push-ups until relieved by first member. Wash-rinse-repeat for one round.

Last Sledge-Hammer Up: PAX ran single file around 400m track, with the last man carrying sledge-hammer. Last member sprinted up to the front with sledge then passed sledge behind him, through every member until it reached last member. Wash-rinse-repeat, for one full rotation of PAX.

6 Minutes of MARY: PAX enjoyed Rowboats; mountain climbers; WW I’s (with American hammers); flutter kicks; and Australian snow-angels.

CIRCLE OF TRUST: Grateful for the resiliency of the men who showed up in the rain to meet the gloom. Closed with a prayer, asking for the courage to live righteously.
