11 PAX posted for a beautiful and unusually cool morning for some lunge walking, rifle carrying, and bear crawling at the Epicenter.

When YHC arrived, PAX had already started congregating near the pull-up bar, so the shovel flag was planted in a different location much to Polly’s complaining about it.

Disclaimer given and off we went.

Warm-up

SSH x 30

Flutter Kicks IC x 25 (Doubtfire came rolling in somewhere during these. Better late than never.)

Shoulder Taps IC x 25

5 burpees OYO

PAX paired up and we moseyed to the coupon cage where we pair secured one coupon and moseyed to the soccer field and lined up along the goal line.

The Thang

The premise of the workout was for the PAX with the block did an AMRAP of the prescribed exercise while the other PAX traversed the field doing the prescribed exercise.

Set 1

PAX 1 performs KB swings while PAX 2 performs 20 lunge walk steps counting both legs. After getting to 20 that PAX performs SSH until PAX 1 rifle carries the coupon to him. They then flip-flopped roles. This was repeated until each PAX completed 2 sets of lunge walks and then the pair turned around and repeated back to the starting line. Abs to the 6.

Set 2

PAX 1 performs manmakers while PAX 2 does 10 bearcrawl merkins. After the bearcrawl merkins, the PAX held plank until PAX 1 rifle carried the coupon to him and they changed roles. Again, repeated unil each PAX completed 2 sets of bearcrawl merkins and they turned around and repeated the procedure until they got back to the starting line. Abs to the 6.

Set 3

PAX 1 performs biceps curls while PAX 2 performs 10 broadjumps. After the broadjumps, PAX performs monkey humpers until PAX 1 rifle carries the coupon to him where they switch. Process repeated just like above. Abs to the 6.

Return coupons to cage and mosey to roundhouse.

Roundhouse work

30 second wall sit followed by 30 dips.

50 second wall sit followed by 50 LBC.

50 second wall sit followed by 50 Freddie Mercuries counting right leg only.

Recover was called and we moseyed back to the flag.

NMS

-Great work put in by all PAX today. We had a great mix of regulars – Polly, Judge Hairy, TRav, Beano, Foley, MaryAnn; Mr. Bean made his return and hopefully this becomes more frequent; Abacus is getting after it; Detour is getting stronger and stronger everytime; and Doubtfire returned again and put in solid work. We need to keep an eye on Detour and Doubtfire, they could be a force to be reckoned with as they become more consistent.

-The roundhouse grounds were beautifully decorated with sidewalk chalk this morning with an appropriately placed visual representation of a PAX’s private parts right in front of the men’s restroom. Judge Hairy said that the picture was drawn to scale although Doubtfire believes that it is magnified 1000x.

-YHC shared, James 1:19-25. ”

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.” We need to remember as men to control our emotions and anger when things get frustrated. And also that we are called to love and judged by our actions towards others.

Until next time,

BenGay
