Disclaimer was stated and all PAX that posted agreed to the disclaimer with an AYE!

“Thang:” The “Thang” was a modification of the routine called Stink B.O.M.B.S. The routine was renamed to Little Stink B.O.M.B.S. The routine was a partner routine where one PAX started at a cone doing the cumulative reps of the B.O.M.B.S exercises, while other PAX performed an exercise 20 yards away of Q’s choice for Q’s choice of reps. The exercises selected by Q were primarily Mary exercises to combine the “Thang” and Mary. When the PAX members performing the non-B.O.M.B.S. exercises finished, each PAX swapped stations until number of reps of each B.O.M.B.S. exercises was reached. If grouped PAX finished B.O.M.B.S. reps, these members picked up the six by helping other groups reach the B.O.M.B.S. rep count. We live to leave no man behind, but leave no man where we found him! The rounds, B.O.M.B.S. exercises and exercises of Q’s choice are as follows:
Round 1: (B) – Burpees x50 cumulative reps/Crab Cakes x25 reps in cadence
Round 2: (O) – Overhead Press with coupon x100 cumulative reps/American Hammers x25 reps in cadence
Round 3: (M) – Merkins x150 cumulative reps/Prom Dates x25 in cadence
Round 4: (B) – Big Boy Sit-Ups x200 cumulative reps/Bobby Hurley’s x25 standard count
Round 5: (S) – Squats x250 cumulative reps/Peter Parkers x25 reps in cadence
Bonus: Since there was six minutes left until 0615, I, Dynamite, decided to incorporate heart charging ladder suicides from 1 to 10 lines with plank to six when complete. All PAX completed in about 2.5 minutes, so the ladder was reversed starting at 10 to 1. The highlight here was Zena busting ass at the baseline on en route to the 10th line and watching the boost it gave him to reach line 10. After the 10 to 1 suicide ladder, all PAX planked for a total of 80 seconds, with each PAX counting out 10 seconds. I, Dynamite, can honestly say my legs felt like rubber bands after doing the suicides after doing the Little Stink B.O.M.B.S.

Praise to God for always providing when we ask in Jesus’ name (Uptown shared testimony of going to bed without anyone in his financial peace class, starting tonight, and waking up to see 13 people signed up waiting for Uptown to lead them through God’s blessed wisdom to walk with the price of peace. Dynamite shared prayer for a call from DOR of a full-time position yesterday morning and having that prayer answered in the afternoon.) God is good all the time and all the time He is good.
Praise to Abscess for living third and donating PPE and snacks to frontline hospital workers at LVHN and SLUHN during a supply shortage and being an example of Jesus’ second most important command (Love your neighbor). Continue to honor God, brother!
Continued prayer for all front line workers for protection and healing grace, as well as, those infected with COVID-19.
Prayers for X-Box to be respectful to his dog and friend Chris.
Praise for the blessing of breath, sunrise (a birth of a new day with new mercies) that we all may live to fulfill God’s will and purpose to honor and glorify Him.
HIM’s and 2.0, it was my distinct duty, honor, and privilege to deliver an effective beatdown to you all to help you accelerate in your respective first “F’s.” Truly, I’m awed that we all stuck together as a PAX today, showing love for one another in helping each other bring each other up and not leaving anyone man where we found him. If there is an undeniable and irrefutable truth I must share, LOVE ALWAYS WINS! Continue to share that love with others, as Christ Jesus showed us. Turn your hearts away from criticism and toward gratitude! Watch the wave of blessing overwhelm you!
