Swing State, Omega, Kid Rock and YHC got things started at 630am with a couple warm-up miles.
Omega and Kid Rock ran 4 more before joining us on the football field for the remainder of the bootcamp.
9 of us started this bootcamp promptly at 7am, with Bagboy casually strolling into the COP at 7:02.
Warm-o-rama: SSH, Perkins, Slow Squats, Knee Ups, IST
Iron Cross – 3 rounds
- wheelbarrow to top of stairs, 20 leg throw downs, run down stairs. Switch so other partner gets some work.

- Side lunge 35 yards, 20 dips, side lunch 35 yards
- Run 50 yards, 10 derkins with feet on partner's back. Flapjack. Backward run 50 yards.
Mobility moment
Mosey to Wolfpack playground. 1 pull-up, 10 merkins. 2 pull-ups, 10 merkins. up to 5 pull-ups and 10 merkins.
Mosey to Broadway for dbl leg glute bridges with backs on the ledge. Then single leg, each side. Cue the embarrased looks and locker room talk. You're so predictable. That's why I love you guys.
In order to engage the most disruptive pax, YHC asked Kid Rock to lead the first Mary by committee exercise with 7 minutes remaining in the workout. That turned out to be the last Mary exersise. Abs are his wheelhouse! We finished with some plank shoulder touches, after Crocs and Camelback decided to join us for some real planks. We care about your fitness, men.
Omega took us out. 8 men stayed for coffee, bacon, & pastries at Great Harvest. Great start to the day, Gents!
Moleskin:
- The Crocs/Pit Stop/Camelback/Something contingent was a welcome site, venturing away from the Mighty Jungle for a day. I hope Toxic etal weren't too lonely.
- Sarcastic Crocs came in and had already started his #Mumblechatter in the car on the way over. We all just tried to stay out of the line of fire. YHC almost evaded, until his 'disrespect' was bestowed during name-o-rama.
- Pit Stop, who always has the bright eyed energy of a 3-month old puppy after a good nap was just happy to be counted among the pax and eager to see what challenges were thrown at him.
- Camelback hid in the background, trying not to be noticed behind his face mask and 3 layers of clothes, including a thermal layer rated for -10 farenheit. Not to worry. You put in the work. I noticed.
- Something was laser focused on exceeding the expectations of his M (Most important relationship) and promptly delivered her coffee at 8:30am. You have your priorities well managed.
- Jersey Boy almost abandoned the pax 2x, but ultimately stayed for the full work and bag-of-bacon / coffee combo at Great Harvest Bread Co. He was worried the conversation and mumblechatter would falter without him. We all serve the public in some way. On the fitness front, he was all about the extra credit…more merkins and pull-ups than required. Good work!
- Scrappy joined us, just to ensure his name was captured in a backblast and to restart the clock on his name being recycled. Unfortunately, he lost the cover of darkness right from the start and the glute bridges were a little too embarrassing for him. It's okay. YHC remembers those days when I cared what others thought of me. Your children still have some work to do. You're a public figure. It was a wise move to distance yourself. Nice tan 😉
- Swing State, Bag Boy and Scrappy killed the Iron Cross portion of the workout and wondered why we stopped so soon. Next time, I'll let yins loose and you can finish 6 rounds…maybe The Geek and The Farm will come back for that one.
- Waffle felt right at home, as long as we stayed on or near the track. He also proved his firm moral standing by ignoring Kid Rock's bribe to get his son preferential treatment on the track team.
- Thanks to Kid Rock for the update on Sis and Omega for taking us out, humbly and reverently.
As always, Gents. It was my honor to lead you today. Thanks for being there for me in all 3 Fs every day.
