The Pax gathered at Juggernaut on a temperate Friday to extend a nod to the start of NFL training camps. While teams no longer spend six to eight weeks on college campuses with players living in cramped dorm rooms, it doesn’t mean the Pax didn’t want to participate in old-school calisthenics and drills. In fact, if YHC could have made it happen, we would have returned at 5:45pm to make it a true “two-a-day.”
The Thang
Warm-Up: run around park trail to Baileywick Road and back to the service road.
Rock and Crawl: select a friendly-looking rock: curls x 10, overhead press x 10, bent-over row x 10, drop rock and bear crawl up service road; plank. Repeat-o.
Old-School Calisthenics: Side Straddle Hop x 20, Merkin x 20, Directional Run In Place, Six Inches. Repeat-O.
Run back to the parking lot.

Dizzy-bat: Pax splits into teams of 6. Three on one end and three on the other. Each pax spins three times around the bat before sprinting to teammate. Alternate until finish. Thank you to the Philadelphia Eagles for this training camp tradition (Buddy Ryan circa 1988).
