Your Voice, Your Choice! An exercise that everyone wins!

Since the primary election had become a vote for the lesser of the evils rather than a vote for confidence I decided to give the PAX 2 positive choices that everyone will benefit from!

Moleskin:  I introduced a couple new exercises today and we smoked the arms right of the start. Of course since it was new, we needed to practice it once then try it again just to get it right! Merkin Burners, Merkin Milipedes, Merkin mile…..a good exercise by any name. 2x is NO BUENO!

Never let  a 2.0 with ADD lead the PAX, my son decided to get in the fast line and mistakenly redirected the fast line to the short route!

Oh well, to the hidden rock pile. There are a lot of smaller rocks than the Outland studs can truly handle so when I saw a few guys grab a pebble/hand sized rock, I decided to have every one set the rock on the ground in front of them and then SURPRISE.. take a step to your right and pick up your new rock..some guys benefited and some lost!  Goblet squats blasted everyone and then we shuffled to the left 2 spaces to get an new rock and try it one more time.

Off to the wall for some people chair..by now no one knew what rock they were going to get. Grab a spot on the wall and lift the rock for some rock presses. I forget to give the count so we went until most guys dropped then recovered for a mere minute..back to the wall for a loud count of 50 rock presses. Was this too much? Maybe? I don’t know that many PAX made it to 50 on this round.

Next up was your choice to pull the big tire with a #45 plate inside it or push the #45 plate..Neither candidate was well received but non the less….the evil began and PAX pushed or pulled to the line and ran to the next then completed 5 merkins at the start and the finish lines. Smoked legs all the way around! Every body wins right? no one left to suffer the misery on their own.

Next up we moseyed to the back of the middle school for another neglected area of the ever expansive Outland AO. Bear crawl up the hill backwards or boxjump up the stairs. I think maybe 1 person tried the bear crawl then quickly switched to the jumps. At the top of the stairs either lunge walk the length of the hand rails or get on top and rail walk the length, head down the backside of the stairs and run around the gravel path back to the first set of stairs and repeat 3 laps.

All done!  NOPE! not yet…mosey around the front to the parking lot and voila! parking cones ready and waiting for us. 8 signs of suicide ahead and waiting but wait what about the YOUR VOICE YOUR CHOICE? Well then sensing some refusiniks on the suicides the option to do some 7’s ladder with Merkins/LBC on the hills came about and the PAX chose…again both parties won!

Feeling pretty well smoked and 6 minutes left on the clock, we retired to doing some MARY led by a round robin from 6 PAX with each man calling out and leading a minute.

A special thanks to Horsehead for taking us out in prayer. Very well said, my brother in Christ!
