Father Time waits for no man…Man is obsessed with Time…hurry up and wait…what time do we start…insert your favorite idiom. YHC has been thinking a lot about time lately, and wanted a Time-less workout. November feels like a good time for it…we all start looking around like, “where’d the time go?!” 2025 is starting to look old. Never fear though, YHC had the juice to keep PAX fit and young looking…with a time themed beatdown. Follow below to see what we did:
WARMUP:
The Burpee Countdown. We ain’t easing into anything:
Burpees x 10 followed by SSH x 1 IC
repeat counting down burpees and counting up SSH all the way to burpees x 1 –> SSH x 10IC
Mosey to the Pavilion with the 80# sandbag (to keep time ;))
THE THANG:
PAX were paired up and set into 5 Stations:
1. Merkins
2. Squats
3. Dips
4. BBSU
5. 80lbs. Sandbag timer
Reps were AMRAP with the timer being the 80# sandbag. PAX had to move it down the ramp to 2nd tree (or bench) and back.
Rotated through 2 cycles.
Intermission – 1’s went down to the bottom of the bleachers and performed atomic squat jumps up to the top. 2’s performed merkin clocks. flapjack – Repeat. Performed two rounds making sure going the opposite direction with the merkin clock.
Round 2: Sandbag Clock returns
1. Carolina Dry Docks
2. Lunges
3. Freddie Mercuries
4. Step-ups
5. 80lbs. Sandbag timer
2nd Intermission – same format: atomic squat jumps/merkin timer; 2 rounds
Mosey back to the shovel flag…Legs stole the sb from me and it felt really funny. He wouldn’t do it again though.
MARY:
American Hammers x 10IC
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

2nd F lunch 11/12
11/21 – FoRuck…check Slack and please COMIT so there is a headcount. It’s going to be the most Type 2 Fun you’ll have all year.
COT:
Colossians 3:17-25. Men love the second sentence of the verse here: “wives – submit to your husbands.” But the rest is just as (if not more) important: “husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.”
I read that this morning before coming out to The Swanson. Life in the home is in the Lord: the family is a little church and is to live in eucharistic life of the Church. Duties are reciprocal, everyone having the same standing before the same Master. All authority is for the sake of loving service and all submission is to God.
I know my COT was a very heavy dose Christian. What the Bible says about the family and YOUR house is Universal Truth. I pray the Holy Spirit moves each of you men to realize your authority with humility and to submit fully to your family!
