17 of MECA’s finest kicked back the clutches of the fartsack and gathered in the glorious gloom.  It was in the 60s and while @Conchito had on a sweat shirt and long pants, he had nothing covering his head.  Spring Is Here!  A Boondocks shirt was spotted and the PAX welcomed @Escalade who is now in the area as he is in the process of a housing transition.  Today was the unveiling of the Leg-Mageddon’s less than pleasant half-brother.  So with shovel flag planted, disclaimer given and a mosey began to…

WARMARAMA:

• SSH x 19
• IST x 17
• Mountain Climber x 15
• Cotton Picker x 13
• Merkin x 2 – plenty more of those to come!

THE THANG:

Groups of 3.  Rotate through the two exercises in two groups near the playground.  The group will always have a man running from one group to the playground for Pull-ups and then to the other group.  4 minutes for each round.

Round 1 with 5 Pull-ups…

• Merkin
• Carolina Dry Dock

PAX gathered at the first basketball goal for…

• Shuffle right
• Shuffle left
• Google Bun Shaper

It was noted that it was a rough transition on the knees from shuffle into the GBS.  @Google resolved to instruct the PAX in the finer points of the GBS as he sought to maintain the integrity of the “brand”.

Sprints back to the far goal in groups by UFC weight classes.

Round 2 with 4 Pull-ups…

• Staggered Merkin
• Staggered CDD

Back to the basketball goal for sprints…

• Reverse run
• Stoli Skips
• GBS

YHC was chastised by some grammarians in the PAX who would like to have greater verbal distinction between the exercises.

Sprints back with some minor adjustments to the weight classes.

Round 3 with 3 Pull-ups…

• Plank with alternating arm to the front
• Plank with alternating arm up to the side

Back to the basketball goal for sprints…

• Reverse skips
• High knees
• GBS

Always interesting to watch the wide variance of coordination on reverse skips.  @Google continued to coach up the PAX on the GBS for brand protection.

Weight class sprints back.

Round 4 with 2 Pull-ups…

• Wide Merkin
• Wide CDD

Back to the basketball goal for sprints…

• Reverse skips
• High knees
• GBS

Weight class sprints back.

Round 5 with 1 Pull-up…

• Hand Release Merkin
• Scorpion CDD

MARY:

• Pretzel Crunch x 15
• Low Dolly x 15
• LBC x 15

COT AND BOM!

THE MAGEDDON MOLESKIN:

1. Nice work today PAX!  @DropCloth especially loved saving Hand Release Merkin for the last round.  Next time we’ll add Hand Release CDD!
2. Sound off in the comments with ways to make this work out worse as YHC wants to bring the PAX to the edge of splashing the merlot in the near future.
3. Welcome @Escalade!  Look forward to seeing you more often as you are in the area.
4. May we all keep our nation and its leaders in prayer.  This world is a mess.
5. Remember YHC’s friend Dora who is having surgery for colon cancer today.

Always and honor to lead the PAX!
