On a bitterly cold night with no wind the following stuff ACTUALLY happened!
- Jaws, Mr Hand and Freedom went for a run. I believe they went 5 to 8 miles according to their 'cocktail recap'.
- We will discuss Taco Break's (nee CarpetBagger) behavior later.
Warm O'Rama
YHC decided that with the low volume of bootcamp folks and the bitter cold, we should actually do a warm up to get the blood flowing.Jenny, Elmers and Swanson were present for the warm up. Here is how we did it:
- Joggy Jog up the first deck
- Grab some wall and 15 Dips IC
- Quadrephlia (NOT taryoke) up to the second deck
- Grab some wall and 7 Decline 'Mericans IC
- Taryoke to the next deck
- Grab some wall and 15 Dips IC
- Taryoke to the next deck where the toys await!
The Main Thang
The Toys were – The Battle Ropes, 30 lbs slam ball, jump rope, 40 lbs slam ball, bosu ball
The exercises were done in the following manner:
- Pax 1 does single slams up to 20.
- Pax 2 throws the 40 lbs slam ball 'caber toss' style to the cone – 15 yards and then turns and does caber toss back to the starting line – we rotate exercise station once this Pax wraps up
- Pax 3 jumps rope
- Pax 4 throws the 30 lbs slam ball 'caber toss' style to the cone – 20 yards and then turns and does caber toss back to the starting line
- Once Carpet Bagger was kind enough to show up, we added a bosu ball burpee. Jump on the bosu, jump off, and do the pushup on the ball – good times
Editor's note – Carpet Bagger was delayed in attending the workout because he went to the taco truck and ordered 8 tacos. For real…
The Pax finished three rounds of the exercises when Carpet Bagger took off to get those ordered tacos – he showed up for Mary…anyway, on with the workout
We switched the ball tosses to forward toss and did two rounds of exercises in that manner.
After realizing that we were going to die if we kept up this pace in the cold, we jogged down the decks. At the bottom of the decks we did shoulder stretches, downward dog, scorpion into pigeon and then jogged back up the decks
Upon our return we switched up to Mary and did the following 3X:
- Pax 1 does two handed slams with the battle ropes to a 20 count – we rotate stations when this Pax completes their exercises
- Pax 2 does a high plank with his hands on the 50 lbs med ball
- Pax 3 does sit ups with the 30 lbs med ball on their chest
- Pax 4 does a high plank with their feet on the bosu ball
- Pax 5 does a standard overhead slam with the 40 lbs slam ball
Pick up the toys.

The Nekked Man Moleskin
- Great work by everyone in the cold. No fashionable scarves were noted on the pax.
- Elmers popped his NightRanger cherry and enjoyed it after 3 days in the office.
- Jaws and I agree that Carpet Bagger should be renamed Taco Break – in his defense, he did double down and he did share the tacos
- Mr Hand mystically appeared at the bar. I am concerned that he really is Bruce Lee.
- We called out Swanson for cuffing his hat and looking like a long shoreman, and Freedom shared a great story about getting off the ferry on the wrong island in Massachusetts and hanging with the fisherman for a few hours in a dank bar.
- Jenny and I decided to have an extra bourbon and talk a little shop – probably not my best choice on an empty stomach
