On a steamy morning, 14 men appeared through the early morning haze to experience a little pain at The Fort.  The grass was wet and the air was thick… perfect for working up a sweat.

The Thang:

In his first drop at the Q… Mater hauled the group to the middle of WEP for the warm up:

– Side Straddle Hops (x25)

– Merkins (x25)

– LBC’s (x25)

– Imperial Walker (x25)

– Ram’s Head Merkins (x10)

– Freddy Mercury’s (x20)

– Side Straddle Santini’s (x25) – that’s the new name for a 2nd set of SSH.

Hand off to Flacco.

Mosey to the playground for the introduction to the Board Of Pain. The BOP had 24 cards taped to it with exercises on each one. One guy would grab a card, announce the exercise and sprint around the playground. Meanwhile, the pax would do the exercise, churning out as many as possible until the selector returned. Then, the next guy in the circle would select and run. Repeat until all 24 cards were called out.

The work (in no particular order):

– Mountain Climbers

– Peter Parkers

– Parker Peters

– Superman Merkins

– Squats

– Jump Lunges (aka Mary Catherine Gallaghers)

– Burpees

– Donkey Kicks

– Bomb Jacks

– Maktar N’Jai

– Grave Diggers (right)

– Grave Diggers (left)

– Russian Twists (aka Mail Order Brides)

– Jump Squats

– In Outs

– Turkish Get Ups (alternating sides)

– Mr. Miyagi’s

– Plank Walks

– Jump Tucks

– Plank Jacks

– Carolina Drydocks

– Backward Lunge with Knee Raise (right)

– Backward Lunge with Knee Raise (left)

– Sumo Squats

Mosey to COT

Moleskin:

Great job by Mater in his first Q. He threw out the Rams Head Merkin… not sure if this was props or a diss on the Tarheels. In order to keep his house from getting egged… we’re gonna go with the latter.

Also of note, if you see C-SPAN wearing a light blue shirt… it does not mean he’s a fan of UNC… it means he’s a fan of Rice Krispies.

T-Claps to Beast for showing major ups on the Jump Tucks. He proved today that white men CAN jump and moved himself into lottery pick position for any F3 pick-up basketball games.

At COT, there was mention of a 5K that was serving brats after. Something about family friendly and beer. Not sure if anyone picked up on that. If you have more info… please share it with the group.
