11 true men of genius gathered for a beautiful, slightly chilly late-Spring morning.

 

Warm up

 

• Mosey to back of the SunTrust bank
• SSH x 20 (4c)
• ISTs x 20 (4c)
• Loose Change x 10
• Arm circles

 

Scurry down to Carolina Courts lot for the thang.

Four stations spread around the block, different exercise at each one.

Fair amount of running because, Saturday.

 

Stop 1: Lower CC court lot, Merkins X10

 

Stop 2: Up the stairs to upper CC lot, Core Killers X10

 

Stop 3: Buttery smooth engineering firm lot J-LO’s X10

 

Stop 4: Lower level of new deck, Star Jumps X10

 

Run down Corban around Carolina Courts, back to stop 1.

Repeato, adding +2 each lap

 

After 4-5 laps PAX moseyed back to OCT for some core and tensor tympani work.

Q then channeled the spirit of Homeland who was notably absent, and emerged with a speaker for a round of Name the Song/ Artist = Call the Exercise. If no one names the song = 5 burpees. At this point in the back blast, Q forgot who named each song and which exercises were done. But some honorable mentions were Spud recognizing Metallica’s Master of Puppets in about 3 seconds. And Mountie being very excited for recognizing Unsung by HELMET which I had inserted as a guaranteed Burpee song. El Ab made sure we stayed hard by calling Burpees as his exercise. The playlist is as follows:

 

Rolling Stones, Satisfaction

Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sweet Home Alabama

Metallica, Master of Puppets

Johnny Cash, Five Feet High & Rising

Beastie Boys, Fight for Your Right

Eminem, Without Me

Helmet, Unsung

Ramones, Blitzkrieg Bop

Black Sabbath, Paranoia

 

Then we did some Broga.

 

PAX averaged 3 to 3.4 miles during the first round of exercises, working up to 18-20 of each exercise. Prayers today for the Middle East, A new mother facing a surprise cancer diagnosis and Phidip as he continues to prove every day that he is an absolute beast.
