The weather has been wild and unpredictable here in the Dash.\u00a0 Rain, snow, and 60 degree temps – all in the past week!\u00a0 Today’s 21 degree temps and a Q by Greenacres promised one thing….pain.<\/p>\n

Despite the cold temps and unforgiving breeze, 9 brave Pax arrived for this week at (pun intended) Purgatory.<\/p>\n

Warm-o-Rama<\/strong><\/p>\n While the selection of exercises may have been commonplace, the number of reps was certainly NOT!<\/p>\n We completed SSH, Whirly with the clap, Abe Vigoda, Arms swirly things (forward and reverse), and merkins.\u00a0 At least 20-30 reps for each exercise.\u00a0 Already excessive.\u00a0 A mere foreshadowing of what was to come.<\/p>\n THE THANG<\/strong><\/p>\n “Funny walk” towards the Lido deck.\u00a0 Imagine walking toy soldiers.\u00a0 Once at top of hill, mosey the rest of the way to the deck.<\/p>\n Grab some bench.<\/p>\n 20 R leg step ups OYO<\/p>\n 20 L leg step ups OYO<\/p>\n 20 dips IC<\/p>\n 20 wide merkins OYO<\/p>\n 10 Derkins OYO<\/p>\n Howling Monkeys (Pax in a circle.\u00a0 Everyone assume monkey humper position.\u00a0 First pax does 10 reps of monkey humpers.\u00a0 Once he is finished, the next pax does 10 monkey humpers.\u00a0 Continue until all pax have done monkey humpers).<\/p>\n HOWWWEEEEE!!\u00a0 @%@%@^#^^@@@!<\/p>\n REPEATO<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mosey towards rock pile (taking the grassy hill and being careful to look for the holes)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grab a “challenging” rock for:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Curls.\u00a0 Here is where the Q betrayed the Pax.\u00a0 He allowed Offsides to call 21s.\u00a0 Normally, 21s consist of 7 reps of bottom to middle range of motion, 7 reps of middle to upper range of motion, and 7 full range of motion).\u00a0 Did Offsides do this…..NO NO NO.\u00a0 For some reason, he thought it was appropriate for the Pax to do 21 reps of the bottom to middle range of motion, and then 21 reps of the middle to upper range of motion.\u00a0 So, yeah….that sucked.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n OHP x 20 IC<\/p>\n Skull Crushers x 20 IC<\/p>\n Slightly bent over rows x 20 IC<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Put down rocks and run a lap around the circle area.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n REPEATO<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Return rocks and mosey to playground near the tennis courts.\u00a0 As Greenacres said, it would not be one of his Qs without pull ups.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Break out into groups of 3.\u00a0 One group performs 10 pull ups (each pax), one group 20 merkins (each pax), and one group 30 squats.\u00a0 Once done, rotate to next station.\u00a0 Continue for 10 minutes.\u00a0 All told, each group got through two full cycles of each exercise.<\/p>\n (This exercise may be short and seem innocent enough.\u00a0 Let YHC assure you…it was not.\u00a0 Awful, miserable it was.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mosey back to start for MARY<\/p>\n Again, a stupid number of reps performed for Mary exercises:\u00a0 low flutter, LBCs, mutton crunches, heels to heaven, and plank.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DONE!!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n NMM<\/strong><\/p>\n YHC has had the pleasure of attending 3 beatdowns led by Greenacres, and consider myself fortunate to still be alive.<\/p>\n The phrase “can we please run instead of doing this” was uttered more than once.\u00a0 And was clearly what all Pax were thinking.<\/p>\n WB – High Cotton may have been a bit disrespectful to his elders.<\/p>\n 6 of the 9 Pax were #Respect or older.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Announcements\/Prayer Requests<\/strong><\/p>\n March 7 – Convergence at Jamison Park.\u00a0 Whirly and Zima leading.\u00a0 7 am.\u00a0 Come out – grab a FNG.<\/p>\n The Estate converging with The Outhouse on Monday.\u00a0 Iron Paxish workout planned.<\/p>\n
