The gloom began at the Mandeville trailhead with 5 PAX members anxious to embark on the morning beat down.. A welcomed sight of the “Chopper” returning to the PAX would soon be remembered as he closed us out with his ruthless “Core Closure!”

The PAX did an amplified version of Dora 1,2,3,4,& 5. (50 plank up/downs, 100 shoulder taps while in plank, 150 merkins, 200 squats, 250 leg lunges)The PAX partnered up for the reps to be shared, so as one member proceeded in the series of work  the other ran to the stairs to complete  30 Rocky Balboas (increasing by 10 on each return to the stairwell) In the end the PAX completed somewhere in the neighborhood of 350-500 depending on who was counting. Chewy and I quickly realized the other PAX members were over achievers on the Rocky Balboas especially when DJ “Chopper” provided us with the song “Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky 1,2,3,4, or 5 not exactly sure but I believe Steve can correct me on that one. Once complete the PAX took to their 6s to begin an array of core exercises for the 7min remaining.

As I embarked on delivering my Virgin Q, trying to deliver a #Beatdown of this diverse #GipperGroup of men. To NO surprise, as I dished out the workout to the PAX I could not help but only reflect as a YHC that this #GipperGroup would eat it up and ask for seconds!! Great job PAX!!

Started with 20xIC side straddle hops, followed by arm circles inward/outward/upward (reversing) 20-30 seconds each direction, kept arms extended out front and completed 30 open/close grippers, 20xIC Butt Kickers, 20xIC Mummy walkers (Tanked-up Fav) and then rapped up the warming with 20xIC Imperial walkers.

the thang

Moseyed to the TajMahal  (STPSB) stopping in front to get in some Rocky Balboas (curb one side and pole on the other) Repeat 4X (ADRIAN) then moseyed to the backside of the building and partnered up. One man held the old AL Gore pose while the other Bear crawled up and the down the steps Repeat 4X, Circled up around the flag pole holding inverted plank rotating around the PAX doing a shoulder Merk until each of the PAX had 10 then seeing the PAX screaming for more we proceeded to rip out another 10 individually to closeout, (add on always welcome with this PAX), moved into Nolan Ryan side plank completing 5xIC each side and then closing with plank down to elbows 5xIC. The #GipperGroup then proceeded on a mosey to the parking garage for some more partnering up to bring it home. The next sequence may seem a little confusing so LET ME SPLAIN. Ramp #1(Squats, Lunges, 10xMerkins, Sprints/Lunges, Plank) One PAX member did Squats while the other Lunged up the ramp halfway at which point the other PAX member doing squats began to follow completing the same task up the ramp to completion. Ramp #2(Seal Jacks, Bunny Hops (Grundy (Hate) and Tanked up (Respect) exclusive), 10x scissor Merks, back peddle, mountain climbers). Started the mosey back to the home base and stopped off for some Freak Nasties on the benches. The overly aggressive Q wanted 20xIC over called off the pain Dr. at 15xIC. To NO surprise across from me were Turbo (Respect) and Einstein (Respect/Respect) looking at me as if to say is that all you got Shooter.. After realizing I was a boy yet amongst men I started to lead the PAX back to home base to be blown away by 3 ACCELERATING MEN (1st being Tanked up, then Grundy and  Turbo). Once back with 3 min remaining we closed up with some Hello Dollys 20xIC and 30 count of Cruchy frog… Molby (Respect/Respect) considered GoRuck with 40Lbs instead of 30Lbs 🙂   and Feedback (Respect)  prayed us out to go forth to enjoy this AWESOME day!!
