Introduction
Nothing fancy tomorrow, we’ll turn that internal oven up but to bake a cake you need to crack a few eggs. We’ll burn it up for 45 minutes, have some fun and crack a few yolks. Bring your coupons, HC below.
EC this morning was shoveling the driveway as YHC was tired of coming home to tire tracks in the driveway that immediately seem to turn to ice. Never thought I would be that guy shoveling his driveway at 4:30 in the morning, but I also never thought I’d be working out with 20 guys outside in January either. Oh well, box of chocolates right. Riunite was first on the scene as always, only YHC needed from him was something to put the speaker on so it didn’t sit in the snow and of course he had something in the car. Right next to the battery pack, first aid kit and fire extinguisher! Country music was on the plays list thanks to Goldberg ;), and 75 was the target thanks to Sun Devil!
YHC explained the beatdown to the PAX and its correlation to 75 hard. The bitch voice would talk to them at some point this morning in the gloom and encouraged them to listen to YHC’s voice instead of the bitch.
Warm-O-Rama
Its hard to tell who is who this time of year, and YHC tried to incorporate a roll call and count while doing arm circles, thought it worked well but need to find a better way to close it out.
SSH to 75, mosey 1/4 mile with coupons to the football field.
The Thang
The BITCH 2.0 – All in cadence, AMRoundsAP as a group in 30ish minutes.
10 Burpees
10 Inchworms
10 Thrusters
30 lBc’s
15 bobby Hurley’s
200M run on rounds 2-4
We got through 4 rounds. Only needed to repeat the bobby Hurley’s in Round 3 based on Goldberg’s assessment of poor form by apparently 10 PAX, he only called out Chazz, what a jerk 😉
Circle of Trust
on Day 17 of 75 Hard and the emphasis in the book is to fight the bitch voice inside you that tells you anything you want to hear to believe that quitting is okay. Its called many things, the bitch voice, resistance, self doubt, one of the wolves inside you. YHC fights that voice everyday, every damn day. YHC let the PAX know that these beatdowns give me a chance to simply say out loud, sometimes with an increased volume and a dash of intensity, the battle that rages on each day. Yes Glass Joe, even when cooking breakfast, that over easy egg doesn’t just cook itself perfectly!
It’s never personal, only out of love for my brothers in the gloom.
Naked Man Moleskin
The country music seemed to go over well, some liked it more than others but overall I think it was a success. Apologies for being off key, with all the cadence counting my throat was a little parched. Great to see 18 PAX, missed the two fartsackers, you mother truckers owe me (Face Plant and Software) and I’ll be looking for you ;).
If you’re reading this and feel like the bitch voice won today, know that it didn’t. Everyone out there crushed it, nobody quit and all pushed themselves. The voice will never stop talking, you beat it down today and will need to do the same again tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. SYITG, LFG HIMs!
