20 men came out today for an island party, sure they were no hot women in bikinis, no umbrella drinks, no sand or ocean and it was  semi cold, but we made ourselves stronger. Each man got the opportunity to answer that age-old question if stranded on a desert island which exercise would I perform most.  Here’s what happened:

 The Thang:

 

Warm up :

20 SSH in cadence

15 IST in cadence

20 Mountain climbers In Cadence

 10 merkings in Cadence

 

Each man picked an island in the parking lot  and picked their favorite exercise. the reps were determined by their birthdate.  As a Pax  we visited each island and participated in the exercise chosen.   I can’t remember every single Island experience but it included burpees, low flutters, lunges, jump squats, regular squats, WW2 sit ups, CDD’s, mekins,  a wife’s plank move (only one though),

Then to finish some hill work with a burpee at the bottom and top, bar crawl up once,  quadrafilla up twice.  Run the length of the parking lot twice stopping at the 3 islands for 5 mekins,  10 bobby hurleys, 10 speed skater move (forgot the name).

 

Mary:

20 LBC in cadence

Homer to marge (5 five count holds), 15 W’s 

 

Moleskin:

1. We have some real softies in our group. Apparently people’s hands got cold in the grass doing the bear crawl up the hill. I thought it kind of whiny.
2. Welcome out Mark Baldwin FNG hope to see you again.
3.   Congratulations to those who competed in the race Saturday.  Flip phone mentioned a scavenger hunt for November.

 

Enjoyed the opportunity to lead a strong group of men at The Ridge (minus the whining).
