Twenty-two men including six FNG’s gathered in the humidity for Godfather’s Avenger station beat down. The PAX breathed a sigh of relief when it was revealed the workout would not be taking place on the GMS football field.

13 PAX posted in the gloom at Goat Island Park and granted a 1 minute delay to those who were deemed to be either lost in suburbia or fartsacking. You know who you are.

Little did they know that they wouldn’t get out of the parking lot today as there was ample lighting and the light posts turned out to be perfectly spaced for speed drills. Today’s balanced breakfast was largely composed of suicides, each separated by a carefully chosen selection from the #Exicon. After each exercise/suicide combo the pax would plank until all were accounted for, then start the next exercise together. Order as follows:

WU
Side Straddle Hop x 20
Freddie Mercury x 15
Imperial Walkers x 15
Mericans x 10
Plank jacks x 15

The Thang
Lunge + jump x 20 (total movements)
Suicide
Carolina Dry Docks x 20
Suicide
Prisoner Jump Squat x 25
Suicide

Hold plank to catch our breath.
Count up, count back to gather our thoughts.

Peter Parker + Merkin x 30(ish)
Suicide
Star Jack x 20
Suicide
Turkish get-up x 20(ish)

We ran out of workout before we ran out of time so we finished with a bonus round of up downs and a few minutes of Mary. COT then dispersed for the day. Thanks to all who posted!

14 PAX (Including 1 FNG) battled the GLOOM this morning at #THESTORM.

This morning we took on the farmer (farmer carries), his daughter Sally (Moby-Flower), and their house (cinder blocks).  There was only one casualty today as Godfather threw a cinder block and destroyed it in the process.  Some would argue that his arms didn’t work due to the exercises and he dropped the weight.  All in all the PAX dominated all three phases of the workout.

Thanks to Godfather who helped BA set up this morning

The PAX will learn about the farmer and how he prefers to carry things.  Also, his daughter Sally will make an appearance in a few exercises and let us listen to her favorite song.  Lastly, cinder blocks will be in use, but we won’t be building them a house with them.

Bojangles Biscuit #3
