29 men gathered at Boiler Room and Red Dawn today, where we celebrated YHQ’s 5th Anniversary. 24 PAX chose to participate in the Boiler Room Belt Challenge and lay claim to the annual belt. Here’s a summary of what went down…

WARMUP: 19 SSH, 19 IW, 7 Good Mornings, 7 Willie Mays

THANG 1: HILLS: PAX competed in a Hill Workout – Bottom: 3 sets of 14 Burpees, Top: 3 sets of 14 Sumo Squats and 14 Low Slow Flutters. PAX were encouraged to give their all, as performance would impact their ability to compete for the Belt. Pawnee finished first which was quite commendable, but did not directly correlate with a belt title.

THANG 2: BELT CHALLENGE: #1 hill finisher teamed up with #24, #2 with #23, and so on. Total of 12 partner teams competed in first round of exercises. Partners split ~50 yards apart, partner 1 doing merkins and partner 2 doing squats. Teams were directed to complete 100 merkins and 100 squats as quickly as they could and then report their ranking. Top 6 team finishers moved on to compete in the next round of exercises – 50 Iron Mikes and 50 Low Slow Flutters with similar direction…reporting ranking once exercises were completed. Top 3 team finishers (Moneypit/Jayzee, Kitchen/IceBox, Pawnee/nSync) then moved on to final exercises – 25 burpees and 25 lunges.

MARY: 20 Low Flutters
