Great work by all of the Pax today. Coach Mic Check and YHC were really excited to put this one on and we greatly appreciated everyone’s patience while we explained new exercises.
The inflextion in Coach Mic Check’s voice made it very difficult to tell when the Mac Tar Jai cadence was finished. Some pax stopped early, even more lost count, all of them were confused.
YHC wasn’t sure how well the the car push was going to work. Given the fact that this blast isn’t being posted from a body shop, we’ll chalk it up as a success.
The QB/WR/DB competition was a lot of fun. It’s pretty apparent that a lot of the pax used to spend some time on the gridiron back in the day. It was also apparent, that “back in the day” was a looooonng time ago for some of them. #leatherhelmets
Announcements

I echo MM and say thank you to the Pax for coming out and really getting into the spirit of the workout. The competitive juices were flowing and guys were rooting each other on especially during the passing drill. When a great pass or catch was made you heard cheers, conversely you heard moans when someone threw a duck or a guy had stone hands. Look for future football workouts at The Maul in the fall and perhaps a Superbowl edition.
A couple of highlights:
The Worm had the play of the day with an unexpected double move that resulted in an easy 30 yard TD pass and brought a big roar from the Pax.
Loogie didn’t let the pavement stop him from diving headfirst to bat down a pass.
Crabcake apparently doesn’t like to catch the ball on the first try; he juggled it
around for 15 yards, and then hauled it in.

Mic Check’s hard count had some of us jumping offside/false starting…#preseasonmistakes
Methinks next time we should turn the car off during the push so not to poison the pax #noxiousfumes
Great workout gents, t-claps to Mic Check and Mighty Mite
Frehley’s Comet definitely had the look of a former gridiron player
And The Witness left me three steps back during passing drills #triangularwheelDB
This was a great workout was a lot of fun! T-Claps for the creativity of Mic Check and Mighty Mite, looking forward to the next edition. Just wondering if Fish Taco is still picking pebbles and ashpalt out of his arms as he took a spill while playing DB? Good luck and have fun at the 707 Goruck Class this Friday Fish Taco!
