Bootcamp Style Beatdown enjoying everything nature has to offer. This site offers a Playground for pull-ups, a large field full of …you guessed it…ant hills, and secret access into one of our best MetroParks.

Da Thang: it was the first Thursday of the month Murph (Run 1 mile; 100 pull-ups, 200 Merkins, and 300 air squats; run another mile). I wanted to give a little ‘twist’. So we all ran a quarter mile while holding the flag, passing it from guys 1 through 8, hoping we’d all be able to get through the entire 2nd mile while doing the exercises listed above. It didn’t work out as planned, but we still got our asses beat down!
Props to Kilnger and Splinter wearing weighted vests!
COR, NOR, and announcements followed.
Before this beat down began, I gave a little ‘pep talk’ of sorts. I encouraged the pax to perform full reps (straight arms on the merkins and pull-ups, and squats that are parallel to the ground), even if it meant not finishing the beat down in full. I asked them, and myself, to hold themSELF accountable and not half-ass this beatdown. Lt. Michael P. Murphy gave his life to try and save his fellow soldiers, the ultimate sacrifice. Half-assing today’s workout might mean half-assing later during the day, while at work, a relationship with your spouse, coworkers, kids, etc. If someone was recording us today individually, and we watched the video later, would we each be happy in how we performed the workout, doing half-ass reps?? I think most would say no.
Thanks to the strong gents listed above who showed up this morning. It is ALWAYS an honor and privilege to lead a strong group of men.
Aye!
