Old School Beatdown

The September version of the Hound was released this am. A month or so ago Bono asked for YHC to Q an Old School Beatdown. Could not refuse and then started to think of doing some things from the Old School days. Was hoping to see some of those guys today, but didn’t want to give it away too much. A decent number of PAX were at BLP when YHC arrived, said hellos and joined them in the circle. Bono explained the Three Headed Hound and gave the Disclaimer. He then announced today’s Q was… It’s me, follow me! We took of as Shrimp used too when he was the Q for a Jailbreak to the first field.

Warm-up

That was it…

The Thang

Had the PAX line up along the fence inside and partner up with the person next to them. We would then do 3 laps and 5 Burpees while slapping hands at the top. When finished we did People’s Chair and Balls to the Wall.

We moseyed outside the field where YHC instructed we would do BLIMPS around the four light poles of the square. When finished do Donkey Kicks against the fence for the six.

Since some PAX enjoyed it so much, we then did the count backwards for BLIMPS (30 Burpees, 25 Lunges, etc). When finished hold Peoples Chair rotating on Q with arms straight out or arms up.

There used to be a guy that used to Q often on Wednesday’s @ #BuildUp, he was actually the Site Q and often times was very upset after his beloved Hokie’s lost. Guessing because the state of Hokie football he is to upset to post. In his honor we did the BEAST (6 Rounds of Different Exercises, 6 Reps, 6 Stops). They were:
Hand Release Merkins
WWI Sit-Ups
Carolina Dry Dock
Since the PAX were getting warmed up, we adapted to…
Bear Crawl in between the American Hammers
Lunge in between the Staggered Merkins (alternating Right and Left at stops)
Bear Crawl in between WWII Sit-Ups
Whenever completed, you come back and finish with the six.

We then finished up with an Indian Run getting back to the #ShovelFlag right at 0615!

Moleskin

It’s been awesome to see several of the PAX make a comeback this year. Two were there that I can think of, Catheter and Baby Ruth, have been killing it this year. Baby Ruth started with us in June 2015, he has posted this year almost as many times as he did the first 3, AWESOME JOB! Catheter has returned this year after only posting once in 2017, he has been a regular @ BLP recently, AWESOME JOB!

It was an honor to Q the Hound and put the PAX to work. Good to have Squatter join and he soon realized Cardio workouts are not the same as weight lifting. I realized we did a lot of Upper Body, especially when we did the first round of the BEAST, Hand Release Merkins were tough! My goal is ALWAYS to push myself and others by using the best form possible! I don’t want to cheat myself and don’t want others to be cheated! Keep pushing yourself and others around you!!!

Good luck on the next two legs…
