Slip Sliding Away

25 men posted at Carmel Road Neighborhood Park for the weekly beatdown known as DMZ. Both Area 51 and Metro were well-represented.

The Thang:

No FNGs, so quick disclaimer and off we go to the RTS.

COP in the parking lot.

SSH X 25 IC

IW x 20 IC

MC x 15 IC

10 slow squats to pause at the bottom. 3 count down, hold until told to go back to the top.

5 slow merkins to pause at the bottom. 3 count down, hold until told to go back to the top, hold at the top.

10 slow reverse lunges to pause at the bottom IC.

5 slow wide arm merkins to pause at the bottom. 3 count down, hold until told to go back to the top, hold at the top.

Head to the end of the parking lot farthest from Sharon View and face the road. Bear crawl to the speed bump, 10 CDDs, lunge walk to the second median, 10 jump squats. Repeato back to the starting point. (Side note: apparently, Hops is part bear because he was flying through the bear crawls.)

Head to the wall for People’s Chair with air presses x 30 IC

15 donkey kicks OYO per Kirk’s request

More People’s Chair with 10 count from Agony

BTW with thigh slappers x 15 – Q audible after the ground was too slippery (translation: YHC almost face-planted)

Back to the building facing Sharon View. Get in groups of 3. Partner 2 starts at the second median, other 2 by the building. Partner 1 runs to Partner 2 and tags him. Partner 2 runs to Partner 3 and tags him. Partner 3 runs to Partner 1 and tags him. Repeato until Q calls time (about 5 minutes).

Stay with your partners and move back to the wall. Partner 1 does 10 dips on the short end of the wall. Partner 2 does 10 climb-ups in the middle. Partner 3 does 10 derkins on the high end of the wall. Rotate until Q calls time.

Mosey back to start point and plank for the six.

6MOM:

LBCs x 25 IC

Heels to Heaven x 20 IC

Dollies x 16 IC

Russian twist x 16 IC

Dying cockroach x 10 IC

NMM:

  • It’s always good to be out at DMZ. It’s a veteran crew of regulars and the mumblechatter never ends. Some favorites were the off-road route to COP after all of the rain, the slow exercises in COP and the BTW on the slick asphalt.
  • YHC had a weinke ready to go for DMZ early last week, but opted to adopt some of Champagne’s Anvil weinke after enjoying it last week. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
  • Thanks to Hops for the invitation to lead as well as the strong take-out.

Announcements:

  • Second annual F3 Golf tournament – Hosted by Area 51. Head counts are due tomorrow, so please sign up. Benefits F3 Leap. There’s a separate auction going to partner with Dredd or to make someone else partner with him. #mumblechatterinthebackswing
  • BRR – Still some slots left and teams looking for free agents. Reach out to your regional Q if interested.

Solid Q Voodoo. I had heard about the long pause squats & merkins. Nice call – had the pax mumblechattering something fierce, yet hurting. Always good to hit the pax with things they don’t expect. Agony calling for LBC’s with long pause was good humor.
Also, Semi-gloss was a comedic sight to behold while doing the MC’s with the bald tires and slick surface.
Good crew in the DMZ today!
