(Not so much) Beauty and the BEAST

(Not so much) Beauty and the BEAST

21 of South Charlotte’s finest mustered at 0530 for an early humpday beatdown.

The Thang:

Following disclaimer, 10 burpees OYO

Mosey to parking lot near 51 for warm-up (SSH, IW, Slow Squats, Mountain Climbers – all x25)

Mosey to end of the parking lot for the Beast (3 way points each direction, 6x called exercise at each.  Exercises: Merkins, Diamond Merkins, LBCs, Jump Squats, Lunges, Burpees)

Mosey to wall by concession stand for Peoples Chair (30 seconds arms by sides, 30 seconds arms straight out front, 15 shoulder presses in cadence).  Rinse and Repeat.

Mosey to Baseball Field rock pile.  Partner up, and each groups chooses a manly rock for Partner Chase around Church building.  Partner #1 runs with rock while partner #2 does 10 merkins, then runs to catch partner #1.  When caught, flapjack.

After returning rocks to their homes, mosey home.

10 burpees OYO, followed by Mary (LBCs (x25) and Flutter (x25))

Closed with COT & BOM

Moleskin:

Great work this morning by all the pax, particularly the group of new guys that just started Monday – Big Top, Bushwood, and Simba (back for more pain already) and the 2 FNGs, Kevin Icard (Swanson) and Derek Rogers (Steinbrenner).  I was concerned that the burpees at the end of the beast would take out some of the pax, but all powered through VERY strongly and are better for it.  YHC was going clearly going through O2 depravation himself when I couldn’t get the cadence count straight for the shoulder presses in the People’s Chair work – thanks for saving me Baracus (the A-Team sticks together).  YHC also took the limited mumble chatter and periodic groans as a sign the the pax were getting their heart rates up and burning some calories.  It’s always an honor to lead this fine group of men – thank you for the opportunity.
