5 to start, lucky 7 to finish

(Posted on behalf of Lobster Roll)

4 PAX decided to join “Lobsta” Roll at the start with 2 tardy PAX (DK and YHC) joining a little late for some work in the gloom.  Q took the original 5 off-site for the warm-up.  They took a 1 mile route through the adjoining neighborhood stopping along the way for the following:

• Stop 1 – SSH x 30 IC, Slow Merkins x 15 IC
• Stop 2 – IW x 30 IC, Slow Wide-arm Merkins x 15 IC
• Stop 3 – Squat x 30 IC, Slow Decline Merkins x 15 IC

After a nice warm-up, the PAX got their hands dirty using the blocks

Set 1:

• 15 IC Shoulder Press
• 15 IC Back Row (each side)
• 15 IC Bicep Curl
• 15 IC Tricep Ext

Set 2:

• 10 IC Shoulder Press
• 10 IC Back Row (each side)
• 10 IC Bicep Curl
• 10 IC Tricep Ext

Set 3:

• 5 IC Shoulder Press
• 5 IC Back Row (each side)
• 5 IC Bicep Curl
• 5 IC Tricep Ext

While all this was going on, the two late arrivals had gone on a search mission to find the PAX.  DK and YHC headed down to fire station to try to locate the PAX with no luck.  Ran back to school and with no luck locating the crew, headed to playground for a little circuit work until PAX returned.  DK offered up routine he had dished out at Hydra earlier in the week.

• 5 Pull-ups, 10 Merkins, 1 Burpee
• 5 Pull-ups, 10 Merkins, 2 Burpees
• 5 Pull-ups, 10 Merkins, 3 Burpees
• 5 Pull-ups, 10 Merkins, 4 Burpees
• 5 Pull-ups, 10 Merkins, 5 Burpees

• 5 Squats, 10 LBCs, 8 Burpees
• 5 Squats, 10 LBCs, 9 Burpees
• 5 Squats, 10 LBCs, 10 Burpees

At this point DK and YHC spotted PAX returning from their off-site work and joined in for the remainder of the work-out.

COT

NMM:

• YHC & DK arrived at AO at 0701 to find PAX nowhere in sight.  Went out in search of the PAX and ran down to fire station, but no luck.  Should have continued on through the back entrance of adjoining neighborhood and would have run into the crew on their 1 mile loop.  However, we didn’t feel short changed after that Burpee Ladder combo on the playground.
• Round of BTW push-ups were a smoker.  Start with BTW and then walk it down into a merkin.  5 of these hurt.  O’Tannenbaum seemed to really like these.
• Good to have Cold Cuts and Picasso back out with us on a regular basis.  Keep Cold Cuts mother in your thoughts & prayers as she is dealing with some health issues.
• Huggie Bear has become a staple at Area 51 on Saturday mornings.  Need to get him signed up for his VQ in the upcoming weeks.

Announcements:

• F3 Area 51 Golf Tournament on 4/30 at Olde Sycamore.  Get signed up to play or sponsor a hole.
• Mud Run sign-ups open a little bit longer.  Race is 4/11.
• See weekly e-mail for opportunity to serve at Alexander Youth Network.  Work-out with the kids there the 1st Saturday of each month.  Joker is the point person
