Introduction
YHC wanted to take a little tour of the soon-to-be newest West Cobb AO. It’s been a minute since leading a beatdown here. The OG didn’t disappoint.
Warm-O-Rama
YHC was overjoyed to see the gate wide open to the track and field this morning. It’s going to be a good day. Lots of mumblechatter about sore butt cheeks and Jalopy. Time to go before this gets out of hand.
Mosey to side parking lot for the warm-o-rama. Quick disclaimer including a reminder to modify to make the beatdown more challenging if necessary.

**For Swedish Ham**
Jack Webb (1 to 4 ratio of merkins and air presses, starting with one and going to 10)
**For everyone else**
Mosey to the wall/hill (we are going to need names for these locations)
Elevens with merkins/squats. Merkins at bottom of hill, run to top, squats. Then bear crawl down the hill. This was a real crowd pleaser.
Mosey to the track and field at the school. BBSU corners.
Sprint down one side of field. Do 5 BBSU. Crab walk to next corner. 10 BBSU. Sprint to next corner, 15 BBSU. Crab to final corner, 20 BBSU.
At this point, YHC realized that we had a ton of time left. Excellent! Time to bust out some oldies!
Go to the rock garden and grab a coupon. Back to field. Toss rock across field whilst chasing it. Then do it again coming back. Try not to kill anyone in the gloom with boulders flying.
Line up on the track with your coupon. Run halfway around the track. Second half, lift coupon over head. Return rocks to their resting place.
Mosey back to lower parking lot for Webbicides.
Sprint two parking lines, do two plank jacks. Sprint back. Sprint 4 lines, do 4 plank jacks, sprint back. Continue this until you make it to other curb (14 lines total). This was more unpleasant than YHC imagined.
Mosey back to flag for Mary.
LBC’s 20X
Freddy Mercury’s forward 10X, backward 10X
Swedish Ham had us plank it out for the final 90 seconds.
0615. Done.
Circle of Trust
YHC reminded the PAX about what a Sad Clown is and why we need to continue getting guys out in the gloom with us. YHC also read this from 1 Timothy:
“Physical training is good, but spiritual training is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8
What a great reminder not only that what we do in the gloom is GOOD, but also to remember that eventually our bodies will fail and we won’t be able to do the things we did this morning. That’s why spiritual training is even more important. It will carry us through eternity.
So let’s not be Sad Clowns in our spiritual walk either. Let’s awaken to more of the life abundant that Jesus has for us. He will do the training. We just have to listen.
Naked Man Moleskin
Incredible work this morning gentlemen. As always, each HIM out there pushed me to my limit. It was Wall Ball, GaDgEt, and Jalopy on the hill, QT and DakoToes in the field, and Swedish Ham, OnePly, and Commando on the lot. Well done!
