Twenty-five of Gastonia’s (and a little bit of Charlotte’s…most Gastonia’s) finest men posted to strive for greater heights and kill the SadClown.  The men started with a simple jog up past the Schiele Museum and to the track near the high school.  The Warm-o-Rama consisted of:

20 x IC SSH

15 x IC TS

15 x IC IST

10 x IC Merkins

After the PAX was awakened, a hint of #TheWorm from last Saturday was pulled from beyond the gloom and into the morning; the men proceeded to do the Burpee Mile:

20 x Burpees

1/4 mile run

Repeato x 4

After the men were good and tenderized (but not yet smoked), they proceeded to the bleachers to smoke the shoulders and chest with:

10 x IC Decline (or Incline) Merkins

10 x IC Dips

Repeato x 3

(Note: Godfather’s wit saved the PAX 2 dips on the third set)

With some parts of the Ham still needing to be smoked, the men moved onto the track for:

50m Bear Crawl

50m Crab Walk

50m Bear Crawl

50m Crab Walk

Some liberties were taken with the Crab Walk portion; men began lunging, walking, and doing extra Bear Crawls.  Though not ideal, sometimes it’s best to give in and live a little part of the Ham without the smoky flavor…well, no, everything got smoked.

After smoking the front and back side, the PAX proceeded to The Tooth Fairy to pick up Annie and perform 10 x IC Merkins–no sweat!

Good and smoked, the PAX returned to Schiele for a little Mary consisting of:

20 x IC LBCs

20 x IC LF

20 x IC Mason Twists

Homer-to-Marge (No Count)
