We had a late comer. So late YHC had already called the Slaughter Start (20 burpees with no warm up) and hadn’t even done the disclaimer. Scopes was charged with 25 burpees and the rest got penalized 5 more reps each.
We also might have done the world’s greatest stretch, preacher twist, pigeon stretch, Moroccan night clubs, chinooks, and lastly awarded with 10 Merks for naming all 5 core principles in proper order.
Tha Thang:
Today was the start of the June Sucks challenge. YHC asked Doorjam if he borrowed the idea from another region or AO. And basically he was just sitting around thinking what would be a really bad idea for the next challenge. We all agreed DJ needs more hobbies or distractions. But then again he is our region’s CSAUP Q.
Inspired by Billy Madison’s journey back through school, this routine involves a burden loop and exercise per grade. Begin with a briefcase carry of Cindy or sandbag down to the light pole and back to simulate the grade (switch arms as needed, but a 10 burpee penalty if the coupon touches the ground), followed by an exercise with 12 reps as the exam. This concludes 1st grade. Run the briefcase carry again, followed by the 1st grade exercise x 12 reps plus a new exercise x 12 reps. This concludes 2nd grade. Continue with the briefcase carry and adding an exercise each time until you’ve completed one briefcase carry and exercise combo for each of the 12 grades. Also, PAX were reminded to pick the harder path. If we do an exercise IC 4-count, then do it. If you can incorporate the Cindy into the exercise then do it.
Exercises:
* 1st Grade; Air Squats 12 Reps
* 2nd Grade; Dips 12 Reps
* 3rd Grade; LBCs 12 Reps
* 4th Grade; Monkey Humpers 12 Reps
* 5th Grade; OHP 12 Reps
* 6th Grade; Flutter Kicks 12 Reps
* 7th Grade; Bulgarian Split Squats 12 Reps
* 8th Grade; Hand Release Merkins 12 Reps
* 9th Grade; American Hammers 12 Reps
* 10th Grade; Bonnie Blair’s 12 Reps
* 11th Grade; Blockees 12 reps
* 12th Grade; Colosseums 12 reps
We had a few PAX get to 8th and 9th grade and alas no one graduated high school. Sorry Billy Madison.
Lastly, we did have one Cindy casualty. Thus, when Pergo goes to the Philippines for his mission trip he is required to try Balut as his punishment. 😂
COT:
What a great time to be back at the Colosseum! Thanks for the opportunity to lead and kick off the June Sucks challenge. I would imagine it’s only gonna get worse from here workout-wise. I think the next one to merlot should get a prize.
Prayers and praises for Sakrete’s friend dealing with breast cancer, Miyagi’s son and classmates doing the black belt work, and Doorjam becoming an uncle again! Much to be thankful for.
"How wonderful it is to discover that God never lets go. When our darkest moment arrives, or we have wandered so far away as to think we can never find our way home, God stands ready and offers a new
possibility. A second chance. A fresh start."

Pledge, pray, and on our way!
