TIME WASTERS.<\/b><\/p>\n

Sure, it\u2019s Flatline so we\u2019ll do a half Slaughter Starter – but only to get under VG\u2019s skin.\u00a0 But wait, where is VG going?\u00a0 Why is he running away?\u00a0 Apparently, he decided to chase down our FNG who was circling the perimeter of the parking lot looking like the Dark Knight on his Batcycle.\u00a0 Flummoxed on how to enter the parking lot, he made his own way by hopping his bike over the curb.\u00a0 So, being the benevolent Q that I am, we did the second half of the Slaughter Starter when VG returned, shortly followed by the FNG.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that we had an FNG present, YHC reached way down into his temporal lobe to attempt to recall the mission statement and five core principles, all while doing SSHs OYO.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BEATDOWN.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At this, the pack took off towards corner #1, the parking meter, much to the the chagrin of the startled man who was trying to pay his fee.\u00a0 On the way, Mr. \u201calways out front\u201d Lamb Chop tried to ask that the group stay together.\u00a0 Clearly he didn\u2019t heed his own request as he led most of the way.\u00a0 Anyway at this corner, we did 1 WMD.\u00a0 Rachael Ray claims because he did a million pushups the night before that he was allowed to take creative liberties with the exercise.\u00a0 That\u2019s cool, dude.\u00a0 Whatever.\u00a0 And if I ever get suckered into that whole marriage thing again, I\u2019m taking this whole group with me to the jewelry store.\u00a0 Their freaking diamonds were huge!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next we bear crawled in the direction of the Sawtooth Center half way to corner #2 (then moseyed the rest).\u00a0 Here, we did 2 Bobby Hurleys.\u00a0 All I\u2019m saying is too bad Bobby Hurley didn\u2019t play like that when he was in college.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The instructions were to sprint to Cindy Christopher at corner #3.\u00a0 Clearly sprinting is not an old man\u2019s game.\u00a0 Note: I think we all need to hit up the OG Redline workouts more often and work on those fast twitch muscles.\u00a0 The called exercise was 3 Dead Bugs.\u00a0 Many variations were performed, clearly because modifications were medically needed.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure McNeely pest control isn\u2019t hiring any of us.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heading to our last corner, we lunge walked (kinda) half way, then moseyed.\u00a0 At corner #4, we found a collection of weighted toys (cinder blocks, a dumbbells, a sandbag, and a rucksack).\u00a0 If no toy of a PAX\u2019s liking was available, he was to burpees until one becomes available.\u00a0 We did 4 reps of curls, overhead presses, and skull crushers each.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally we moseyed back to the center and burpee\u2019d for the six.\u00a0 Once the group was whole again, we restarted the circuit, incrementing our rep count (station 1: 5 reps, station 2: 6 reps, station 3: 7 reps, station 4: 8 reps).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We completed 6 full rounds.\u00a0 Exercise form never suffered one iota.<\/span><\/p>\n
