Chest Day @ Centurion

Seven Pax came out for chest day. GOP was out for the count due to a back issue (good vibes go out to him for a speedy recovery) so YHC took the Q. After moseying to the deck (including butt kicks, high knees, karaoke L/R) we circled up on the poop deck to catch a breeze. Side Straddle/Imperial Walker/LSS/Mountain Climber and Merkins. YHC forgot how to start a set, thankfully the Pax stepped up to remind me to say, “Exercise!” Once loose we partnered up for 100 merkins/LBC/squats with alternating runs across the deck. With sweat starting to drip we knocked out planks, 6 inches, L/R arm high, J. Lo, and wall sits with overhead presses, before heading to a figure 8 workout with handslap merkins and big boy sit ups in the middle.
Great seeing Udder and Tagalong out in the gloom and hearing about potential hidden caches of weights around our site, including more than a few sand filled detergent bottles.
After a Mary session (Flutter/Dolly/Rosalita/Protractor/Boone LBC/American Hammer) we pushed through a set of Step Ups/Dips/Derkins. With time running out we finished with suicide sprints, you call it merkins, and last but not least 60 seconds of Shavasana.
COT announcements included the adult bike drive tomorrow at Rock Zero, advocation for Trips For Kids, upcoming IronPax Challenge throughout September, the October 30th Backyard Scare trail run, and a recap of Growruck.
Looking forward to Chelms aka Tater Tot leading next week (8-20) and Slaughter leading on (8-27). Clear your calendars and join us!

Lights Out At Centurion Yesterday

16 PAX blindly followed YHC into the darkness during Centurion on Friday.

The Warm Up: Butt Kicks/High Knees before COP (SSH/Imperial Walker/Squats/Mountain Climbers/Merkins)

The Thang: Triple Nickel on the hill (Choose your own Merkins on the bottom/Jump Squats up top). Mosey to people’s chair session outside of Chucky Cheesemonger. Mosey to the deck for running, core, lunges, and donkey kicks. Circled up for Mary* (Flutta/Dolly/Rosalita/Freddie/LBC/American Hammer). Partnered up to run stairs & jump squats while number 2 hammered out derkins/dips/step ups. Mosey to the rocks for curls/overhead press/tri’s/rows. Finished with Karaoke L/R with sprints back before concluding the morning with a few too many Low Slow Squats.

The Moleskine: I must admit that my second Q and first Q at this AO was not without a hiccup or two. The first workout location ended up being pitch black after all of the parking lights went dark. Likely shot out with a bb gun by Mermaid’s 2.0 to trip me up. Later the elders reminded me that a triple nickel is 5 reps not 10, that they are called donkey kicks not dolphin kicks, and it’s Mary not Molly. Still it went better than the nightmare I had the prior night where I was Q Jacked and a PAX was hit by a car. Great to see 4 site FNGs (Eeyore/Boone’s Farm/Buddy The Elf/Grave Dancer)!
