COUNT: 6
Conditions: Dark and gloomy at first, sunrise came right on time for our beatdown.

WOR: SSH x30, Good Mornings x10, Batwings x15

The Thang: Today’s beatdown is credited to my Co-Q, Stock boy. The beatdown is worthy of a Hampe Park sandbag beatdown.

Hot Metal Potato – With an AC/DC playlist in the background, PAX moved clockwise between 7 stations (cones) of 20 reps a specific exercise: Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, BBSUs, Squats, Shoulder Taps, American Hammers, and Lunges. If a PAX arrived at a station and found a hot potato (sandbag), you had to run it 3 stations ahead, drop it, and loop back to where you found it to do the exercise listed on the cone. Whenever music stopped and a fire alarm bell sounded for 30 seconds, PAX had to stop where they were and do 4 Sandees/Burpees. If PAX had a sandbag, they had to do 4 Sandees, and if a PAX did not have a sandbag they had to do 4 Burpees.

Moleskine: Quoted a little Ice Cube today, “Woke up in the morning, gotta thank God. I don’t know but today seems kinda odd…Today was a good day”. The message was short and a reminder to focus less on the day to day negatives and practice an attitude of gratitude. For PAX to continue thanking God for the daily blessings in our lives.
