How hard can it be?

A51 Pax were posed that question last night by the ultimate Bear Poker, Chelms/Tater.
Seriously, all that grey hair and soccer arms….what’s the harm?
So 17 showed up in spite of the obvious taunt (and the threat of rain) for a so-so workout that looked like this:

COP in Cadence
Side Straddle Hops x 25
Squats x 20
Merkins x 15

Mosey towards parking deck, too obvious, hard right turn for a lap around football field. Into the deck we go.
Level 1: Hip Slaps x 10 each arm. Squats x 10 IC. LBC x 10 IC.
Run full length straight ahead. 10 Upper Body, 10 Lower Body, 10 Core.
Run straight length again. Rinse and Repeat, each level up.
Run down stairs, rinse and repeat a couple more levels. May have ended up with 8-10 sets.
Back out into the gloom, to the ramp at school entrance. Partner Up.
Partner 1 does Bear Crawl up ramp to front door, 10 Burpees, runs back.
Partner 2 holds plank until 1 returns, flapjack.
Round 2 was Bear Crawl, 10 Diamonds, run back.
Partner Carry Squats. Just like it sounds; Step forward Left, Right, Down, Up. 10 squats each man.
Wheelbarrow up usually deserted side drive. Dodge incoming cafeteria lady. Resume.
Run back to far set of deck stairs, race up, plank for 6.
Utah, give us a “1” count. Sprint to opposite end stairs, run down and back to launch.
Various Mary may or may not have included LBCs to 33, American Hammer (Thank You Dear Abbey), Dolly, Rosalita, Bicycle, etc.

Great take out by McGee.

Moleskin
McGee, who is still adjusting to A51 time zone and LIFO’d, crushed it. Utah and Cane ran in through the slop, T-Claps. Good to see Mermaid back out. Frehley’s Comet, also working out time zone issues, joined us from SOB. Welcome!
Strong work by all –

Announcements
Whetstone Project: A great opportunity to Mentor or be Mentored. Either way, you will come out better for it. Stay Tuned.
Day Zero 3rd Anniversary beatdown May 28 at McAlpine. Many Saturday sites converging there. Except of course #Commitment

Memorial Day convergence at SouthPark for beatdown, 5k, etc. Remember our veterans.

Sorry I missed Snowflake. Hope not to make that mistake again, though thankful I didn’t have to do squats with Frehleys, Gloss or Utah on my back

Good stuff Snowflake! I learned a couple of things this morning. 1) WW2 sit-ups are much tougher than LB ‘s. 2) McGee is not a big fan of Ohio.

Solid Q Snowflake. The hip taps were quite brutal. Always enjoy high reps of merkins. Hit pretty much everything today.

Great news from the Chief of Form Police and 2F Q Champagne: no surgery.
