So after a long weekend of eating and eating and eating YHC needed this week to as certain pax would say “get my mind right” and by mind I really mean belly. Yesterday’s Murph, although tough in conditions absolutely helped to start the week off right both physically and mentally and most certainly a heartfelt Thank You to all the service men and women-the veterans of today and past and especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms we enjoy each and everyday!
Next up on the week’s betterment schedule was what to be dubbed a new version of The Pitmaster, another of Smokehouse’s AMRAP style beatdowns. This had YHC ready to roll this morning and as the pax also rolled in, the mind began to wander as our scheduled QIC was not there, we all just knew he was still setting up for this glorious new version of the Pitmaster and since that location would most certainly be the same (all the way across campus) we just figured it was taking a little time to get it all right…WRONG! As the one minute warning time came and passed, we just figured he was running late and was just gonna meet us mid mosey to the Pitmaster site…so YHC decided lets get this day started…
Conditions–73° and very Moist™

SSH IC x 10
IW x 10 IC
OHC x 10 IC
…dang, this sure was taking HT’s a while to set up…so lets just meet him there. Mosey to Hash Hill was called.
Upon arrival at Hash Hill, all looked quiet so we just moseyed to the bottom as we had heard that was gonna be the re-vamped Pitmasters starting point…and surely at the bottom our jokester HT’s would be lying in wait to lay the smackdown on us…WRONG!
A quick plea to the originator of the original Pitmaster was made and Tongue N Groove w/ a Caboose assist picked up for HT’s-with what we know now was either an alarm clock malfunction or a request by the M to keep the fartsack warm with her (i’ll let you decide which reason was correct…cough cough wink wink…(alarm clocks work best when set for the right time to rise, eh HT’s?)
Grab two blocks and lets get at The Pitmaster:
In the parking lot at the bottom of Hash hill four blocks were set out as markers.
First marker- Abyss Merkins x 18, bear crawl block drag to
Second marker- Overhead presses x 18, bear crawl block drag to
Third marker- Tricep extensions x 18, bear crawl block drag to
Fourth marker- Curls 4 Girls x 18, then turn and come back block lunging back to
Third marker- Block thrusters x 18, block lunge to
Second marker- Block Squats x 18, block lunge to
First marker- Captain Thors x 18 then up and back down Hash Hill, Rinse and repeat as time allowed.
Pitmaster segment was now mercifully over but we missed something, great…TnG remembered we forgot block burpees so just for some added fun, 10 Block burpees OYO. Farmers carry blocks back to block pile and mosey back to where the shovelflag usually is and time called.
