Sextuple Nickel

Sextuple Nickel

14 young guns brought the wood to Basecamp this morning. A balmy 40 degrees – not too cool, not too hot. A disclaimer held together by duct tape and rubber bands, and a promise of no burpees (alternative fact) and we got after it.

The Thang:

We moseyed a good 50 yards or so to the front parking lot of the school for COP (+/- 15, all IC)

• Imperial walker
• Low slow squat
• SSH
• Merkins
• Peter Parker
• Parker Peter

We headed down Strawberry Ln to Rosecliff Drive for the first Triple nickel – HR Merkins at the top, Sumo squats at the bottom (2nd light post on the right).

We headed back up Strawberry to the top of Woodfox for a 2nd Triple nickel – wide arm merkins at the top, diamond merkins at the bottom (cartpath crossing).

Plankwork on the sidewalk clear of traffic – elbows, arms high, legs high variety mix

Mosey to the wall on the school adjacent to the Suites de Gloss for Peoples Chair. Roughly 4 minutes in the chair with some overhead presses and leg lifts.

What’s a good try-hard exercise with ~15 seconds left? 5 burpees OYO. Promises broken.
Moleskinny:

Sheldon (great name, real or fake), dusted the crowd all day. I think he was holding back to not make Goonie look bad. I “encouraged” him to not let Goonie’s alpha presence overshadow his efforts this morning. All it took was a little permission and he was lighting everyone up on the woodfox triple nickel.

BOG may have the most flexible deep squat in NC.

Snooki fought the battle out there this morning. Coming off some rotator cuff work, I’ll just say, I wouldn’t challenge him to a one-armed SSH contest. Strong work, dude.

We finished up with 125 merkins for y’all doing the challenge this month, you’re welcome.

Drano, Goonie- thanks for the invite to lead. Enjoyed it homies.
