As the weather turns cooler and begins to dip into the high 30s, it is worth posting to see the wide range of exercise gear. On one end of the spectrum you have @Conchito who is dressed for a march across Antarctica to the other end with @Chopper in shorts and t-shirt. Regardless of clothing choices or political choices on this election day – the shovel flag was planted, all 25 men were welcomed, disclaimer given and the mosey began to…

WARMARAMA:

• SSH x 19 IC
• IST x 18 IC
• Mountain Climber x 13 IC
• Cotton Picker x 13 IC
• Merkin x 11 IC

THE THANG:

The PAX moseyed to YHC’s minivan of awesomeness to acquire the instrument of pain for the day – a simple 4lb brick. Circled up for Jack Webb with Brick Press (1 to 10).

Partnered up for a series that required the PAX to alternate between staying at the 1st bball goal for an upper body exercise and running to the other goals for lower body.

• Partner 1 does Curls with 2 bricks while partner 2 runs to 4th goal for 25 Calf Hops, switch, repeat to 3rd, then 2nd goal.  Brick on raised feet when finished (some found this more difficult than expected).
• Partner 1 does Front Shoulder Raises with 2 bricks while partner 2 runs to 4th goal for 20 Lunges, switch, repeat to 3rd, then 2nd goal.  Bricked LBCs when finished.
• Partner 1 does Bent Over Rows with 2 bricks while partner 2 runs to 4th goal for 15 Squats, switch, repeat to 3rd, then 2nd goal.  Brick on raised feet when finished.
• Partner 1 does Bent Over Flys with 2 bricks while partner 2 runs to 4th goal for 10 Opolo Onos, switch, repeat to 3rd, then 2nd goal.  Bricked LBCs when finished.
• Partner 1 does Merkins alternating hand on brick while partner 2 runs to 4th goal with brick for 5 Brick Burpees, switch, repeat to 3rd, then 2nd goal.  Brick on chest for Airborn Mindbender when finished.

Mosey with brick over head back to the minivan of awesomeness. Mosey to…

THE BRICKED MOLESKIN:

1. Great work today by the PAX! It’s amazing how a couple of 4lb bricks can get heavier than you imagined. Nice #mumblechatter as the PAX stayed together.
2. Welcome FNG Stacy. Hope to see you again soon. Glad to have @BOGO join us from the Greenville, SC area while vacationing at Great Wolf.
3. Tclaps to the team of @Derby and @Gump! After some admonishment for his partner, @Derby was able to create a big enough lead for @Gump to maintain through the first rotation. Always great seeing @Gump leading the pack!
4. Check the email for the details on The Shield tonight at the home of @Grinder, 8p. @Slappy has the Q as they talk about Financial Peace.
5. Remember Allen Don Rogers who has been given 24-48 hours to live.  He is the father of @Glock’s partner at work, Alec.  Pray specifically for peace and rest.  Remember @Koolaid’s mother-in-law who is in a similar situation as life is drawing to an end. May comfort be provided to both of these families.
6. Our brother, @Dodger, was injured and the injury required surgery on his arm. Keep him in your prayers as well.
7. Christmas Party is Dec 10th and the daily email will have the information to sign up. Forward the email to FNGs so they can click the link at the top to be added to the distribution list.

Always an honor to lead the PAX!
