Intro:

Pax doubted YHC’s ability to warm them up. As if its YHC’s power to make it warmer than the 20 degree weather the pax was whining in.

Warm-o-Rama:

Mosey over to the front of the school for a good ole round of SSH, Weed Pickers and to the Q's excellent memory, Imperial Walkers. This was then accompanied by one last mosey around the triangle (some argued many shapes like hexagon or square) of death around which we would perform the Ring Around the Rosy.

The Thang:

Pie bar thought it was a great idea to listen to YHC and bring on the 40 lb sand bags (yes 40 lbs Paragoners. Cause we actually workout when we get out in such freezing weather). Pax took advantage of such weight and did three sets of body pass throughs (for the abs) on the benches while partners duck walked with the sandbag over their shoulders.

After, the pax moved on to what would quickly be described (and some Pax did) with very profane words, the main entrée of the meal, the Ring around the Rosy. Pax would mosey around the front of the school while stopping at three different locations to perform 10 plyo lunge to squat burpees. (if you hate burpees, at this point you would've walked off). this was repeated twice since YHC realized the original plan to complete it 3 times would've resulted in death and splash merlot.

pax then completed 4 cycles of 1 very slow cobra merkin followed instantly by a full sprint.
But we were not finished.

Pax then took the man sacks (sand bags for all you pervs) (40lb sacks mind you) to the flag and partnered up again.
one partner went on to perform burpees on one end of the lot while their partner would lunge over to their end with the sand bags over their head. once the bag was transitioned to the partner, the starting holder of the bag would sprint back to their starting position performing burpees while the partner began to repeat that painful cycle. This went on for 4 rounds.

Pax then moseyed over to the flag for last minute and quick merries.

COT:

Old 96'er has bravely decided to venture into starting his own AO in Titusville, FL. We will be praying for his success and wish him the best! 6 new pax have already shown up and expressed much interest.
A new Saturday morning beatdown idea has been thrown out to be started in the Bridgemill area for those us wanting to treasure every last minute of sleep and not venture out north since let's be honest, might be too far for us sad clowns on Saturday. Great idea!

Naked Man Moleskin:

6th man -Drone. Drone shared with us a little about his family and how proud he was while also celebrating his newly acquired Insurance license.
