Date: 01/07/2026

PAX: Zesty, Palin, Turnover, Chisel, Spicoli (WD), Frosbite (WB), Schlitz, Greenspan

9 PAX emerged from the gloom at AO Conspiracy to witness the dawn of a new year and celebrate a 2-year F3 anniversary by YHC. The air was clear, the vision was 20/26, and the promise of Zero Burpees was officially ratified.

WARM-A-RAMA

Core Principles while Schlitz talked about only the Sky Q knows what

• SSH: 26 Reps (IC)
• Mountain Climbers: 20 Reps (IC)
• Hillbillies: 26 Reps (IC)
• Cherry Pies: 10 Reps fwd & back
• Michael Phelps: 10 (IC)
• Jack Reachers: 10 (IC)

Mosey to the stairs

THE THANG

As always, Greenspan makes it look easy

Part 1: The Stairs of Progress
The PAX were surprised to begin at the base of the Intimidator only to not run her length. Welp, that’s what happens in the new year…new stuff. We hit the stairs for a 10-minute ladder. Run to the top of the stairs for 20 Derkins, then down to the bottom towards the play ground for 26 Squats…and repeato until the Q calls time. The chatter was high; the oxygen was low.

Part 2: The “Triple-Double” Circuit
We utilized the playground ecosystem for 15 minutes of rotation:

• Table Talk: Dips and Incline Merkins
• Swing Set: Underdog Pull-ups and Calf Raises
• Track Burn: Sprinting the straightaways.
• Table Press: The Step-Over—up over the table and down the other side. (crowd pleaser)

Part 3: The 20-26 Partner Grinder
Partners paired up for a grind. Partner A ran a lap around the playground while Partner B hammered out AMRAP WWIIs, Monkey Humpers, and Smurf Jacks. The goal: 202 collective reps of all three exercises.

MARY

Made our way back to launch for Mary – which is, as we all know, near and dear to YHC’s heart. 

Mary by Committee with the only rule being that the exercises had to have 20 or 26 reps. This was a true crowd pleaser!

COT

• Rollback’s M having surgery today. Praying this is the final one and they can move forward
• $5Footlong’a family is enduring a long season of difficulty
• Plunger’s father’s rapidly declining health

MOLESKINE

Today marks 2 years since I first stepped into the gloom with F3. Two years ago, I showed up looking for a workout…but it was Flatline and I didn’t know that they don’t do a warmup first…40 minutes later they all came back, I joined them for Mary, was named, and found a brotherhood. It was cool (or ironic) that Turnover joined YHC in the Gloom today as he’s the one who officiated my incredible first experience with the Pax. 2026 is about “Clear Vision”—not just seeing where we are, but seeing the men we are capable of becoming.

Thank you to the 8 Pax who showed up today to push me. Here’s to many more years in the circle.

Zesty, I left the keys underneath the picnic tables.

SYITG!
