Thought it was time to make boot camps great again and go back old school, back before Area 51 became a run heavy workout kind of place. Decided to pull a couple of the old original workouts from Anvil out and take a look. This reminder YHC of how different the boot camps use to look back 5-6 years ago. YHC figured, maybe it’s time to bring some of these back. YHC took the first 3 workouts and pulled together a compilation thanks to BA and Young Love – the original site Qs. Granted, YHC did stay away from the Young love special of 100 SSH IC – figure with Margo, Haze and Gummy, there would be a full blown mutiny.
Lots of great work out there and it was great to see some old faces that haven’t posted in a while – great to have you guys back out. The sand was as bad as YHC remembered it. It needs to get used more often. Heard several pax say they didn’t even know those sand courts were over there.
The hotbox lived up to its name with a nice round of She-Hate-Me – not sure where that name came from but its what the combo use to be called.
Ring of fire is always a crowd pleaser especially with 18 pax – not sure YHC has done one with that may pax before – but an audible seems like a smart idea. And sprint grinders are always a nice way to finish up.
Great solid work by everyone today, it looked like everyone was pushing it thru the entire workout. And as always, nice to hear mubblechatter – makes the workout more fun.
Thank you men for the opportunity to lead you thru the gloom this am. It’s an honor and a privilege.
Thanks Haze for the great takeout.
