Merkin Mania brotha!

It was a great day at Outland today, due to Anson high school graduation our Anson brothers needed to find another AO. What would be better than to converge with the Outland PAX that helped launch Anson.

Over to the grassy area to meet my friend Jack Webb!
1 merkin to 4 air presses up to 10/40
Horsehead didn’t think I made it past 7, I did, but thanks to having him in my head I miscounted midway through. #QFail But we caught up and everyone got their money’s worth.

ANNNND over to Turnpike!

So the PAX more so Horeshead was hoping that I was going to work more on legs. Well is a sense he was right, however upper body pain was the plan all along. Well actually when speaking to HB I tried to get a sense of what he was doing hoping he would give a break to the PAX with upper body. As we all see that was not the case. I believe it was before our friend Jack Webb made an appearance and I believe HB said lets make them pay.

Form two lines for an Indian Run towards the elementary school buses.

I counted everyone off and had the PAX form four lines.

Its time for a new friend of mine called the Merkin Miler. Now I was going to take it easy on the PAX this morning however, Horsehead made some kind of comment calling something a Turnpike Merkin so at that point I decided to just bring the pain.

Here’s the idea:

One man from each line runs a mile. While they are running their mile the rest of the PAX completes Merkins until the return and do so until everyone in their respected lines complete the mile. A complete smoker and since we worked mainly upper body I was sure this would be a crowd pleaser. I informed the PAX before we started to mix in LBC’s while waiting to run to keep everyone active and movimg. In the interest of time after the first person took off to run midway through I informed the rest of the PAX to start their mile so we all had a chance to run.

Not sure what was going on while I was running my mile but when we got back Horsehead and EE were talking about how we missed the entire backblast. Hopefully some of that convo will make it in the comments below.

Two lines were formed so we could Indian Run back to where we began for some wall work.

Wall of fire:

Pax line up on the wall the first member of the PAX starts with 5 merkins and 5 LBC’s while the rest of the PAX where in the peoples chair completing air presses. Continue on until the entire PAX completed their 5 Merkins and 5 LBC’s. During the line we switched to placing our arms in front and then to the side.

Mosey back towards the parking lot with 4 minutes to remain. Horsehead with a great idea of 4 minutes of burpees. As we started doing that I realized we needed a break from upper body and lead 3 MOM.

Thanks to Game Boy for taking us out

Announcements:

Welcome to FNG “Danica” who initially mentioned applying to be a firefighter, then was about to attempt to create his own nickname, but as we began to throw names out he blurted out something about street racing… And Danica was born.

Q School June 18th get signed up. It would be a great idea for some of the PAX that have been out regularly to start stepping up and leading some workouts! Meeting at Bojangles for Q school from 7-8:30 optional beat down in the parking lot of Bojangles at 6:30.

June 11th Sun Valley clean up. Instead of a pre run we will meet and clean up the site we have called home on Saturday mornings. Our way of saying thanks and giving a hand.

Big thanks to our Anson brothers for joining us.

Chime in if we missed anything

Thanks for letting us lead you guys always an honor.

HB and TP
