Introduction
YHC is tall but never excelled at Hoops. He was however 3rd string on an 11-player team in 8th grade at a Catholic school. Coach was not allowed to use term “Suicide” so this common hoops drill was referred to as a “Gasser.”

Five lights were set up in 10-yd increments. Starting point was called “Base Line”, other lights were “Free Throw #1”, “Mid Court”, “Free Throw #2” and “Opposite Based Line”. Roughly like a basketball court.
Pax were instructed to move from “Base Line” to “Free Throw #1” back to “Base Line” then to “Mid Court” back to “Base Line” then to “Free Throw #2” back to “Base Line” and finally to “Opposite Base Line” and back to “Base Line”. MOT was Rifle Carry or Coupon Carry. The Following exercises were performed at each stop along this movement:
-Base Line: 5 Bobby Hurleys
-Free Throw #1: 10 WW3 Sit Ups
-Mid Court: 20 Coupon Squats
-Free Throw #2: 25 Thrusters
-Opposite Base Line: 30 Curls
Upon completion, mosey lap around lot. Hold squat for the 6, or go back out to pick up the 6. Rinse and repeat.

Circle of Trust
YHC Referenced a quote from Benjamin Franklin: “It is better to be well done than well said.” In today’s vernacular this could be: “Put up or shut up.”, “If you’re going to talk the talk, you better walk the walk.” or “Talk is cheap.” If someone researched Mid-evil times, or ancient Rome or ancient Greece, likely there are writings that echo a similar sentiment. To put this into the G3R or Q-Source, YHC thinks this concept would be part of “Live Right”.
Point is, throughout human history, there has always been virtue associated with actions speaking louder than words. As we strive to be virtuous HIMS, be mindful of having your deeds deliver your message rather or absolutely in addition to your words. Aye!

Pax provided AAR that they really liked the “Gasser” format and that it would lend itself to other workouts for a Leg-Day, or a Chest Day etc just by changing the exercises.
