YHC pulls into the parking lot at a very prompt 0528 to find 9 HIM waiting for their Q. Quickly plant the shovel flag, introduce myself to FNG Frank, give a solid Disclaimer to which FNG Frank replies “it’s ok, he’s my lawyer” pointing to Rofus. Now YHQ is nervous, why do the FNGs always show up to my Qs? Nevertheless, let’s mosey.

High knees, butt kickers, running up and down the lines of the parking lot and then circle up for Warmarama (all in-cadence).

• Side Straddle Hop x 25
• Windmills x 10
• Cotton Pickers x 10
• Imperial Storm Troopers x 10
• Merkins/Wide Merkins/Diamond Merks x 5 of each

Mosey to the play ground, get a partner, then immediately discard them. Ladder starting with 8 pull-ups and 3 squats. Decrease the pull-up count by 1 and increase the squat count by 3 each round. Should end with 1 pull-up and 24 squats. #mathishard

Grab a block. Rofus seeks out the varsity block. Not sure if he remained happy with that decision or not. Too much mumble chatter, let’s quiet the crowd with 20 curls in-cadence.

Mosey around as YHQ describes each of the 4 stations. Man-makers with the block, WW2 sit-ups, dips (after finding the picnic tables) and swerkins. Repeato for 3 laps total.

10 more curls in-cadence while we have the blocks.

Mosey back for Mary which is abbreviated to one round of the Protractor.

Recover, recover.

Announcements/Prayer Requests

• Rolling Stone Happy Hour tonight at Johnny Bruscos. Probably some time after 2000 (8pm if you don’t like military time). Comment on slack so nobody ends up there alone. Usually sit out on patio.
• MECA Field Day set for November 2nd. More details to come.
• Encourage everyone to check out the Q Source grinders. 0830 on Saturday mornings. Kilowatt has the Q near the Harrisburg beat down this Saturday.
• Prayers for Sugar’s step-dad and family as he recovers from quadruple by pass surgery in Ohio.

Moleskin

• Welcome to FNG Frank. Look forward to having you out for more beat downs. It’s never easy, you just continue to push yourself harder. Thanks to Rofus for encouraging him to come out.
• We have officially solved the mystery of who the late Pax was to the Tuesday beatdown: Frank! He originally went to Odell Elementary (not Odell Primary) and by the time he arrive, we were long gone. Glad you found us today.
• Keep trolling fellas, as long as its done in jest. I can take it. The question will be if you can handle 200 meter sprints on repeato for the next beat down?
• Iron Pax challenge in September. Great workouts but not concerned about registering and posting numbers. If you aren’t getting at least 1000 burpees AND 5 mile run in during the 45 minute beat down, you’re doing it wrong.
