The clock struck 5:30 when YHC was informed that much to his surprise, he had the Q. Commence improvisational beatdown.

Mosey to the flagpoles for 45 minutes of side straddle hops. Done and done. Actually just 30 or so SSH. Don Quixotes, dead man hangs, cherry pickers, imperial squat walkers, LBCs and mirkins not necessarily in that order. Finish with a minute elbow plank.

Triple check: flagpole smokers, Carolina dry docks and a long loop.

Bear crawl 75 yards down the sidewalk and down the stairs.

Lunges the length of the long rail.

11s at each light to the cul de sac: mirkins and WW2s.

Back up to the lower lot with 4 burpees at each light for a total of 44.

Skygazing with a 6-inch hold for a minute.

From the lower lot, sprint to the tip top of Mt Chaplain followed by some stretches.

Back to the flag for 10 hand-release mirkins and done.

Prayers as the sun was coming up, and special prayers for India.

I’ve been a board member of the Aruna Partnership for the last 5 years, but have been traveling to Tamil Nadu in India to work for the last 15. It’s been a big part of my life and this year our friends are really suffering.

Over time, so much progress has been made from the programs we support there – sponsored kids have grown up and gone to college and are now coming back to teach. Widows have gone on to start businesses to support their families. And through job training, first generation college graduates have come back to recruit for their companies because they know that kids coming out of our program are top-notch. But in spite of all this progress, the new lockdown has threatened to set everyone back – unable to work, now it’s just about survival. If you’re able, please send a small donation.

The non-profit is volunteer-run so 100% of donations go directly to supporting the programs in India. Hit me up if you have questions – thank you and Godspeed.

  1. Light Pole Burpees have resulted in little motion the today. Great Q on the fly. Always feel much more spiritual following a Snuff led workout.

  2. Nice work, Snuff…………..I think skygazing HAS to be included in every workout moving forward. Appreciate your commentary on mind/body/spirit.
