Pax: Disconnect, Sugar, Trojan, Inspector, UncleJesse, Hulk, Pinto, PaperCut, DixieChick, 2C, Weaver, Jugz

A dirty down of brothers from, well, a dozen mothers gathered in the super gloomy gloom for the return of the one and only Juggernaut to the AO that stole his heart nearly three years ago. As you peruse this lovely prose, enjoy this grand time by The Descendants. More on this later.

We grabbed some sandbags and headed over to the pull up bars. One partner does static hold while the other works. 

Pull-ups/dead hang

Squats/air chair

Merkins/plank

Dips/Low dip

Alternating sandbag toss and chase

Drop the sandbags back off at the cars and mosey to the end of the road. 25 squats on your own and hold air chair for the 6.

Mosey down to the church. One group heads to the stairs. Crawl bear up. Bear crawl down. Other groups 10 decline merkins, 10 box jumps (double it if you do step ups), sprint half the parking lot, jog the rest and back over to the wall. Rinse and repeat until everyone has hit the stairs. 

Clock merkins on the curb. 10 x incline, 10 x right arm/right foot on curb, 10 x decline, 10 x left arm/left foot on curb. Sprint half the parking lot, jog other half and back to curb. V-ups for the 6. The 6 has to pay up 10 v-ups. Rinse and repeat. 

Clock squats. Great progression for pistols. 10 x both feet flat, 10 x right leg on curb, 10 x both feet flat, 10 x left leg on curb, sprint half the parking lot, jog other half and back to curb. Rinse and repeat. 

Only Pacer’s v-ups can be compared to Disconnect’s. Wow. Prettiest v-up form ever. #TClaps

Mosey back toward Fury. Aaaaaaand here’s where things got a touch interesting. A fancy little Prius swerved AT us then some poor girl thought a dozen guys were after her. Either that, or she was auditioning for the Zone 5 Buzzards. One thing is for sure, YHC would never have caught her even at the lovely little gait she was trotting along at before she thought 12 dudes broke out of Patrick B. Harris a la One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. I mean, we have to be crazy running around at 5am, right?

Stop at the end of the road to hold air chair for the six. This is where YHC rightfully earned his sensitive material status. Mistakenly assuming that Inspector was a fan of the Descendants, YHC began singing “Bikeage.” Great time with an amazing bass line, but ears are tender in the early hours and song about a guy’s sister (NOT Inspector’s sister) getting strung out on drugs isn’t necessarily a great song on the tail end of a workout. 🤦‍♂️

At the pull-up bars, max effort pull-ups. Others do 10 pull-ups and 15 squats. Rinse and repeat until everyone hits the pull-ups. Same deal with dips. 

Gratitude breathing exercise and a challenge from YHC to look for things to be grateful for every day, particularly in our Ms. 

“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!” — Psalm 50:23

Be grateful, gents! Aye!
