  • Cumulative beast

    On a bright and sunny morning 6 Pax showed up. We missed a lot of regulars who ran marathons, were sick, or just missing-in-action. Roger Roger, following his commitment to bring three FNG in a week, brought one of his neighbors who was named Green Hornet.

    Trying to impress FNG, after the warm-up, we did cumulative beast: starting with hand-release-merkins, then added WWII, squats, 2 count Freddie Mercuries, crab cakes, finishing strong with burpees. Not much time left, so we finished with circle of abbs each calling 20 favorites: heels to heaven, LBCs, mountain climbers, American hammers, WWII. Overall a good start for a day of fun.

  • Three amigos

    3 enjoyed some running in the morning. We stopped for three rounds of 20 decline Merkings, 20 dips, and 20 LBCs. After that ran some more, stopping at a football field for a ladder of Burpees starting at one and ending at ten. Finished with more running.

  • It was 70 and sunny

    Hard to believe, but it was 70 and sunny. 5 enjoyed the perfect weather by running cul-de-sacs and doing 10 hand-release Merkins, 20 WWII, and 30 SSH at each cul-de-sacs.

  • Half of burpee beast

    10 Pax, all regulars. After a brief warm-up we moseyed over to football field and did the beast starting with Burpees, continuing with 2 count Freddie Mercuries, then Burpees again, 2 count Flutter Kicks, Burpees 3rd time, ending with Heels to Heaven.

    To slow down Homer and to work on his Burpee form it was suggested that he do a Hand-release Burpee. He tried it, and it worked great! Though it did not stop him down completely.

    After the beast we moseyed to Pull-up bars and did 11s rotating between Pull-ups and Step-ups. Then on to tennis court for Suicides. We finished with the Ring of Fire and American Hammers.

    Great job everyone!

    Thank you for suffering through my first Q.
