U can’t break a paver on an Anvil

U can’t break a paver on an Anvil

8 men ignored the rain induced temptation to say in bed and gathered for a hump day workout.  Voodoo showed up right at 5:30 just as the Q was getting ready to audible off the pavers due to odd number (PAX can thank Voodoo for what happened next).

The Thang:

Warm up COP – SSH, Merkins, Peter Parkers, and Slow Squats (all X15)

Form teams of two men and each team grab one large paver from Q’s SUV.   Jog over to front of church to go over the 3 station route (Bermuda Triangle without Palentine).

Partners take turns carrying paver between stations and we completed three circuits.  Each team completes total reps combined of called exercise

• Station 1 – 50 Merkins (Wide arm, CDD, and Diamonds) and 50 jumping lunges
• Station 2 – 25 burpees and 50 jump squats (those hurt for some reason)
• Station 3 – 50 rock hoppers and 25 partner handshake merkins

Leave pavers at Station 3 and mosey over to pavilion for 3 sets of dips, jump ups and incline merkins (10, 20, 10).   People chair for a few minutes.

Mosey back to Station 3 to retrieve paver and than up to parking lot for some partner sprints. Partner 1 sprints down to light post and back with paver while Partner 2 does called exercise.

• Round 1 – Imperial walkers (Q needed a break)
• Round 2 – Mountain climbers
• Round 3 – Parker Peters

Mosey back to SUV to drop off pavers before finishing with 6 MOM.   Rosalita, high flutters, and LBC.  Finish with some stretching for the Respects so we will be able to walk later.

COT – Snowflake with closing prayer

Naked Moleskin:

Entire pax pushed hard this am with the young team of Mermaid and Utah taking the VT.  PAX carried on some Impressive chatter while breathing heavy and YHC will feel this one for a bit.  Great to work out with Lobsta Roll and Nuke for the first time.   Van Pelt and Snowflake showed what an “old” man can do.  Voodoo couldn’t pull off any magic to make his team’s paver disappear.

I know Mermaid doesn’t like pavers but I love how running with the extra weight jacks up the heart rate.    Even with the cool temps I broke a nice sweat.

The opportunities of this AO were somewhat limited due to the weather, which was probably a good thing.

As always, I am humbled by the opportunity to lead such a great group.
