Location: The Cul-de-sac, Playground, Streetlight Alley
QIC: YHC Copper

Warm-O-Rama (WOR)

The PAX kicked off the day with a warm-up worthy of the Copper name:

• 15 Side Straddle Hops (SSH)
• 7 Copperhead Merkins – get low, get strong!
• 8 Copperhead Squats – precision and form.
• Sun Gods OYO – loosen up, fellas!
• Michael Phelps OYO – swim it out!

The Thang: “Democracy in Action” Edition

The PAX stepped up and cast their ballots to shape the beatdown. Choice is power—just don’t mess up your vote!

1. Vote 1: Elevens or Dora?
With a decisive 2-1 vote, Dora took the lead! Let’s roll.
• Dora Partner Routine
• 100 Merkins at the bottom of the cul-de-sac while partner ran to the electrical box and back. No slackin’—the legs were gettin’ toasty with each sprint.
• 200 Squats – one partner knocked out reps while the other hauled it up the hill. You don’t stop ‘til the tally’s complete.
2. Vote 2: “Bring Sally Up” vs. “Roxanne”
The PAX went with Bring Sally Up in another close 2-1 vote. Here’s the drill:
• Held an air squat through the entire song. When they sang “Bring Sally up,” we stood up; “Bring Sally down,” we sunk back down. Legs were burnin’, willpower tested.
3. Vote 3: Tabata or Street Lights?
The PAX had seen enough squat brutality for one day and went for the Street Lights unanimously. Smart choice, gents.
• BLIMPS (Streetlight Edition)
Each streetlight was a new pain station:
• Big Boy Sit-Ups
• LBCs
• Imperial Walkers
• Merkins
• Plank Jacks
• Squats
At the fork in the road, the PAX were deadlocked on whether to turn left or go straight. Despite three votes for left, some unseen male-in ballots pushed us straight ahead. Democracy may have been questionable, but the grit was not!
On the way back, we did the reverse order:
• Big Boy Sit-Ups
• Lunges
• Imperial Walkers
• Merkins
• Plank Jacks
• SSH

Mary

Each PAX got to lead a little core burn in the closing round:

• Blarney called Box Cutters
• Boondock gave us Fire Hydrants
• Eggplant rounded it off with Copperhead Squats
• Finished with a 45-second Low Plank – hold strong, gents!

COT: The Last Vote

In true democratic spirit, we held one final vote on where to end the morning. Move to Waffle House for COT? With another landslide, Waffle House took it! COT at Waffle House—just the place to close out with reflection, some good-natured conspiracy theories, and of course, a solid debrief on the beatdown.

Moleskin:
Great job stepping up and choosing your own fate today, men. Remember, life doesn’t always give you choices, but when it does, make it count—just like you did today.
