Scorching hot and humid as usual this time of year, yet 12 PAX willing to sweat it out and put in the work, arrived ready to take on the day. Special milestone to celebrate today as our Nantan most recently hit his 500th post in only 3 1/2 years. Also in our hearts and minds is the recent passing of his grandfather which would be incorporated into the beatdown. Disclaimer was given and we were off.
Mosey to Ballantrae soccer field where YHC had set up a special “Pentagon style” beatdown with 5 coned stations. After a bit of a mix up splitting the PAX into 3 teams of 4 we were ready to begin.
- STATION 1 – DIPS – x25 PER PAX
- STATION 2 – SALUTE PLANKS – X25 PER PAX (HARD WAY)
- STATION 3 – BURPEES – X25 – PER PAX
- STATION 4 – AMERICAN HAMMERS – X25 PER PAX (HARD WAY)
- STATION 5 – STEP UPS – X25 – PER PAX (HARD WAY)
RINSE AND REPEAT all stations 5 rounds for a total at each station of 500 reps per team. All PAX stepped in and assisted with counts so that their teams could advance to the next cone together.
Once again YHC is utterly shocked at how fast the HIM were moving and pushing through the pain to get these completed. Average lap time was just over 8 minutes and YHC planned for 10, GREAT JOB ALL!
Mosey back to Terazzo starting field and triangle up with your team again. Just about 10 minutes left for 2 more exercises totaling 500 reps.
- FLUTTERKICKS – X125 PER PAX (HARD WAY)
- MERKINS – X45.45 PER PAX (WE ROUNDED TO 46 EACH FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF 500 BETWEEN ALL TEAMS)
FINISHED 1 MINUTE EARLY TO CELEBRATE THE MILESTONE AS WELL AS DELIVER THE SYMPATHY CARD TO OUR LEADER!

- 500 Beatdowns Posted – Incredible milestone for only 3 1/2 years – Great job Grouper!
- Special thanks to our former Nantan No-See-Um and Grouper’s M for assisting with information to help out with the beatdown format for today
- Honored to be part of such an incredible group of men. Cannot wait to be back to full strength and get some running incorporated into the beatdowns. Until then, be prepared for the ugliest non-mosey based beatdowns of your life whenever YHC is on Q.
