Pyramid

9 Pax showed up on a steamy afternoon at the premier afternoon AO. Tiger announced he was doing the Iron Pax Challenge Week 2 so he grabbed a block and took off to put in work.

Pledge

Warmup: SSH x 10 IC, Cotton Pickers x 10 IC (Mumblechatter indicated these may have been a little too fast), Patented Right Over Left and then Left Over Right, Low Slow Squats x 10 IC, Hillbillies x 10 IC.

Mosey toward the entrance of the park. Cross the road, turn right through the parking lot to the seldom used cul-de-sac.

The Thang: 100 Rep Pyramid
Reps 20-15-10-5-5-10-15-20 = 100. Perform 20 reps exercise then run to the parking lot and back, then 15, etc.
First exercise was Merkins. Slaw and Freight pushing the pace with Mayor right on their heels. Next exercise I jokingly said Burpees but anyone who knows me knows I will never call 100 burpees in any workout, just kidding Mayor! Next exercise was really LBC’s using the pyramid scheme running after each set of reps until we get to 100. I asked Slaw to call 10 IC Low Slow Squats and Freight correctly called out my reasoning was for the Q to catch his breath.

Mosey back across the road behind the horseshoe pits and get a block from our new secret hideaway block stash. Circle up behind the fence for some block work.

JJ5K Saturday, September 25th at 9:00 a.m. Sign up since F3 Gastonia is a sponsor of this trail race with money going to a local student scholarship. We are trying to be sure that someone beats Sister Act this year. He’s been hurt, he’s been sick, he’s been working a lot. We think someone can get him.
Service Project Items for October: Cheese or Peanut Butter Crackers, Applesauce or Fruit cups.
Snowbird Men’s Conference and we have a group of Pax going next weekend.

Prayer Requests: Bos’ sister in law, Cougar’s grandmother, Magic Minnows dad, Barrel Racer. All F3 Gastonia Pax.
Blart took us out.

*NMM Great group today. Everyone worked hard and got in some work. We found out some interesting information today. Lil Sweet sometimes gets called to fix a drink machine and all he has to do is plug it in! Freight is enjoying his new digs in Belmont and has thoroughly enjoyed the moving process. Slaw was having “stomach” issues. There was some interesting art work on the asphalt. Show to know. Pockets was displaying some excellent form on his Merkins today. Not everyone can say that. You know who you are.
