Eight of us posted for the rainy, final GridIron of 2024. Johnsonville and Chum Bucket share the Q. Gather in the Pouncey Tract Park lot and mosey to covered court #2 at new pickleball complex for the startup Circle of Pain led by Chum, including SSHs x 20, IWs x 15, Ukrainian Soldiers x 15, Dead Man Hangs for flexibility, DQs x 10, Merkins x 10, Suzanne Somers x 10 (each side), Freddie Mercuries x 25, APDs x 25, and Big Arm Circles x 10 (forward and reverse).
Tag J’ville. Merkin Ladder starting at 11 with Arc Loader movement. Bear Crawl across the covered pickleball court and finish 11 Merkins. Crab Walk back for 10. And so on, with varied crawls and walks working down to one merkin rep.
Tag Chum. Shift to covered court #1 for cumulative Mary four corners, starting with Reverse Crunches x 20, and adding Rosalitas x 30, Box Cutters x 40, and LBCs x 50.
J’ville again. Move from shelter in the direction of the fresh adjacent parking lot, stopping a few times for Curb Crawls and a round of Rocky Balboas. Line up at the end of the parking lot for a Lindsay starting with 30 Squats. Mosey a curb near the other end of the parking lot for 10 Ball Dippers. Continue, as usual, dropping five reps from the first exercise and adding five to the second for a rep total of 40. Replace Squats with Monkey Humpers for the final few rounds.
Chum again. Mosey to the Pull Up Bars. Divide into groups of four. Take turns with one guy from each group holding a Flexed Arm Hang for 10 seconds while remaining group members hold Plank on the perimeter. Rotate through several times.
J’ville. Mosey to the nearby picnic shelter. One guy completes 10 Abyss Merkins while the other PAX members complete Step Ups. Go around once.
Mosey back to the start. Al Gore with Overhead Presses in cadence until time called.
COT. Chum took us out. Welcome Backhand – visiting his hometown of RVA from F3 in St. Charles, Missouri.
