I don’t even know where it started, but somewhere on the interwebs, Rio called YHC old. Rio with his white hair. Then young Calli (who I’ll give a break because he knows not what he says – plus, I live with the realization I could take him at any time) piled on. OK mophos, I’ll show you old with an old timey beatdown. Hmm, as I make my way around the circle with the traditional Ma Bell handshake greeting, guess who I don’t see. That right, neither Callahan nor Rio is there. Guess they had trouble getting their panties on this morning. If yer skirt, say yer skirt. Guess they were skirt. In the infamous words of Pitbull: It’s. About. To go. Down.
0545 follow me clockwise up and around to the bottom of the pickle. Circle up for
Warmup to the thang
51 x Merkins IC
10 x Forward and Reverse Arm Circles IC Hold it…
15 x O/H Arm Claps IC Hold it…
(Nature Boy started getting lippy about how hard it was to hold those meat muskets he calls arms out. Keep talking; I got all day)
10 x alternating L/R Forward Lunges IC
The Real Thang
Line up and face uphill. AYG to the top, jog back down the other side and do 20 merkins OYO. Plank it when you’re done. When all PAX finished…
Repeato with 20 4-count LBCs OYO
Repeato with 20 Star Jumps OYO
Repeato with (Ollie, call an exercise) 20 Burpees OYO. Hey, I was going to call it on the next round anyway. Almost did anyway.
Repeato with WWII Sit-ups OYO
Follow me to the basketba…wait, did someone just complain about something? Turn around and get back on the line. YHC felt vindicated by some nods of approval and fist bumps. Anyway, AYG to the top, jog back down and do 20 something (forgot cause, you know, I’m old)
Anybody got anything else to add? Didn’t think so. Partner up while you follow me to the basketball court. Size nor speed matter, or so I thought. The Q teamed up with Nature Boy. More on that later.
Split up – one partner people’s chair on one end of the court, the other partner people’s chair on the other end. On my GO, sprint to the middle and do 10 4-count* handshake merkins with your partner then continue on to the other end of the court and resume people’s chair.
*Someone mentioned at this point, that it was really 20 merkins. That’s right genius, 10 x 2 does in fact = 20
Repeato with 10 partnerkins each. This is where size apparently does matter. Nature Boy and his meat muskets put YHC on the ground at 6. I had to rebuild and rebrace for the final four.
Ollie, oh no you are not walking back to the fence for people’s chair. Don’t be walking on my court! As a reward, everyone run a half-court suicide.
Repeato with 10 partner derkins (or as Earhart calls them, downward facting merkins). Again, I underestimated the sheer weight of those lycra-laden ham bones Nature Boy calls legs. However, the Ma Bell structure held as he completed his 10
Follow me. Well, look who’s up front with the Q, It’s Ollie! Ollie’s mama didn’t raise no dummy. Up to and across the freshly mowed but still not very lush soccer field to the rocks. Pick a considerable rock and circle up for some arm work
10 x rock curls IC
10 x rock presses IC
10 x tricep extensions IC
10 x around the worlds IC
10 x rock squats IC
Put it all together for 10 x 10-count around-the-world-rock-your-body IC. Some apparently did 12 bless their hearts
Time to go. Put your rocks back and jog it back to the starting position for some Mary
15 x Hello Dolly
15 x Low Slow Flutter
6 inch leg hold for a 10 count around the circle
And we’re done. Way to work hard men. As always, it was my honor to lead this morning.

Announcements: Next Friday, the 14th, is the maiden voyage of the new Apex workout at Apex Nature Park. Earhart and Shut-In are your site co-Qs. To help christen the new AO, Largemouth made the command decision that DZ will be suspended for one week so that the PAX can go without regret.
Prayers: People in the path of Hurricane Matthew, Freebird for an interview he was attending today that we all carry ourselves with dignity and respect in the work place
BOM: YHC took the PAX out in prayer
NMC: Comments are embedded in the BB above. But feel free to pile on in the comments. Maybe it will be the #WBD
