11 Pax got up and started their day off at Terrapin with an hour long workout that proved to be one that pushed the limits. When I drew it up, I wanted it to be hard, I wanted the PAX to stick together, and I wanted to get some burpees in (a little self serving as my personal July “challenge” includes a lot of burpees). I also wanted to make sure the PAX who do not visit Terrapin often, got a chance to see all of the cool things the AO has to offer.
As a nod to our Nantan’s trip to the NKOTB, Paula Abdul, Boyz to Men concert, I brought out the Milli Vanilli Pandora station to hit somewhere in the vicinity of that genre. Pusher was pleased.
The work went like this:

30 Burpees OYO

- Great work by all.
- Second Chance is really putting in work out there, love this guy’s attitude and approach.
- PBP – Polly being Polly was on display. Complaining about all of the work called, but he stepped up and got through all of the work. Great job.
- After over two years of doing this, I never felt like I was as close to death as I was today. Ironically, not because of the workout, but due to Hulk unleashing such rancid flatulence during the burpee broad jumps it would have made a billy goat puke. Dear Lord, please pray for this man.
- Speaking of Hulk, fantastic work on the Balls to the Wall. Shoulder taps were on display. Other notable Balls to the Wall performers (ones that I happened to witness) were Tickle, T-rav, and Pusher. Great form. I’ve been considering implementing this work for a while, and Juggs brought it out at Tsunami last week so I felt like keeping the momentum. We will work to integrate the Hand Stand Pushup (HSPU) and Shoulder Taps as folks get more comfortable being inverted.
- The sprint/race up Charles Street was one for the books. Everyone pushed it hard.
- Good crowd at Howards and everyone’s order was accurate (Howard was absent).
- Piddler and Pothole came and brought “millions of peaches”.
- Grits were the best I’ve ever had.
