If the PAX wants burpees, the PAX gets burpees

If the PAX wants burpees, the PAX gets burpees

(Posted on behalf of Lobster Roll)

9 PAX decided that the last day of January 2015 would be a fine day to post at Area 51 for another Saturday morning smack down.  Lobster Roll had volunteered to serve as Q with YHC signed up for Site Q School and workout.  Beaver, having taken part in previous Lobsta led beat downs, decided to ask whether the PAX might be doing 60 minutes of burpees.  Probably wished he had left that comment unspoken.

With all the PAX on site and accounted for, Lobster Roll led the PAX on the mile loop down to the fire station, back through the nearby neighborhood (homestead of Cold Cuts who should be back in the mix in the next couple weeks, or so I am told), down through the lower athletic fields and ending up at the cinder block pile.

Along the mile loop the PAX made 4 stops for the following:

• Stop 1 – 25 SSH (IC) & 25 Merkins
• Stop 2 – 25 IW (IC) & 25 Wide-arm Merkins
• Stop 3 – 25 Squats (IC) & 25 Diamond Merkins
• Stop 4 – 25 LBCs (IC) & 25 Man-maker Merkins

Next up, per Beaver’s request, were a round of burpees:

• 10 x 10 – 10 burpees every minute for 10 minutes (PAX reportedly not happy with Beaver)

After the burpees the PAX recovered with a session of Mary

Next up in Lobsta Roll’s bag of tricks was the Star Fish.  And to everyone’s surprise, the PAX were each going to carry a cinder block throughout and complete 5 burpees each time they returned to the launch point.  Starting at launch point, run to each of the five light poles for called exercise and then back to launch point for the 5 burpees.  Called exercises (each for 20 reps) were the following:

• Incline Merkins on the Cinder Block
• Decline Merkins on the Block
• Bicep Curls w/ the Block
• Tricep Extensions w/ the Block
• Shoulder Press w/ the Block

As PAX finished they joined in another session of Mary to wait for the Six.  Star Fish presented PAX with stiff challenge and Q was glad to see everyone pushing through it.

PAX headed back to playground near the launch point and with a few minutes left the PAX completed as many rounds as possible of 10 Pull-ups and 25 Jump Squats.

Great work by all the PAX!
