It was a damp gloom, but not a problem with temps 30 degrees higher than last week.  The PAX was slow to roll in, but 13 men found their way out of the #fartsack.  YHC appreciated the approval from the Highlands Legal Team after the disclaimer.  The shovel flag had already waved in the wind and was planted thanks to @Brinkley after a patriotic run down Highland Creek Parkway.  A mosey began to…

WARMARAMA:

• SSH x 19
• IST x 18
• Mountain Climber x 17
• Cotton Picker x 16
• Merkin x 11

THE THANG:

After seeing the Sign Up Genius empty, YHC decided to take a different approach to filling the need for Qs.  The PAX lined up at the first BB goal in the bus lot and got on their six with head towards the MS.  YHC shouted out the exercise and then the command to begin.  The PAX had the option of completing the exercise or race to a table at the edge of the lot near the MS that had the printout from SUG and all the empty Q slots.  If more than one PAX ran, the winner had the privilege of picking a Q slot and then planking.  The loser(s) had to return to the PAX and complete the called exercise.  After 3 failed attempts to reach the table first, a member of the PAX could earn the right to select a Q slot.  The exercises were as follows:

• Bear Crawl
• Burpee Broad Jump
• Wallaby Hops
• GBS
• Crawl Bear
• Reverse Run

7 Q slots were filled and the PAX migrated to the track for a mutated Indian Run.  The first 2 in line would run the track while the PAX completed the following exercises before a mosey of their own.  The line stopped when the runners reached the back of the line.

• Merkins x 20
• Ankle Touch Jump Squat x 20
• CDD x 20
• Lunges x 20
• LBC x30
• Burpee x 10
• Apolo Ono x 20

Lined up at the sidewalk near the playground for Muhammad Ali’s while 4 PAX at a time rotated through 12 Pull Ups.

Mosey to rail for a YHC favorite…

• Dip
• Incline Merkin
• Derkin
• Hold Halfway Down

A set of 10 was completed.  Al Gore held while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.  Set of 15.

Mosey back to playground.  PAX performed WW2 Sit Ups and rotated through 12 more Pull Ups.

Mosey to…

MARY:

• Pretzel Crunch
• Box Cutter
• LBC
• Reverse Crunch
• Snow Angel
• Squirm
• Brinkley Bend

COT and BOM!

THE MULTI-Q MOLESKIN:

1.  Great work today men!  Reach out to some of the PAX you haven’t seen in a while.  Invite new guys who are making fitness a resolution for the new year.
2. Thanks to those who signed up to Q.  Please go to website and make it official. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0844aba62ca7ff2-master
   • 1.18 – @Shazam
   • 1.20 – @Gordo
   • 1.23 – @BuffaloBill
   • 1.25 – @Brinkley
   • 1.30 – @Ambassador
   • TBD – @Hugo (due to YHC sign up sheet ambiquity)
   • 2.13 – YHC (thinking a Valentines theme – you’re welcome)
   • T-claps to @Sparky and @Barrister who signed up Wed night after YHC had printed off the empty list
3. It’s interesting that @Gump will follow YHC into a Bojangles parking lot at 0600 on a Wednesday, but not show up on a Thursday.  Come back @Gump!  You’re missed!
4. Even without @Gump’s presence we still had a sufficient amount of #mumblechatter.  There was talk of someone’s glutes in such peak condition they didn’t need the Google Bun Shaper.  YHC did not take it upon himself to make an independent verification of that claim.  #NotThatKindOfMensGroup
5. In attempt to level the playing field, @Ambassador held @Dodger down at the start of the Reverse Run.  It didn’t work as he still blew past everyone.  #FreakyFastBackwards
6. Don’t ask Hugo to pick an exercise.  He picked Burpees.
7. Even if you didn’t post, you can still Q. #PeerLedWorkout

Always an honor to lead the PAX!
