Thanks to the holiday season giving many PAX a respite from work the Milestone Marsh was hopping in the pre-dawn gloom of Christmas Eve day. A big welcome to all the PAX for coming out early on a Monday morning.

Every time Catherine revved up the microwave, I’d piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour or so.
THE THANG PART 1: Getting Stronk
YHC sees Northshore PAX getting mad strong, so he thought he would keep the trend of lower rep, higher difficulty movements.
4 rounds
Pull up sets x6
Single leg squats X6 each leg
1 minute recovery after each set
YHC wobbled some on the single leg movements, but the assembled PAX were rock solid, straight vertical. Backdraft even rocked some of the pistol-style movement.
It wouldn’t be the Christmas shopping season if the stores were any less hooter than they – HOTTER than they are. Whew. It is warm in here, isn’t it?
THE THANG PART 2: Let the beat drop
PAX did some work with 5 drop sets focusing on the lower body. Each set consisted of 15 knee tucks, 15 jump squats and 15 air squats done in succession with no rest. YHC was gassed at the end of these but the PAX grinded out each of the 5 sets with style.
Surprised, Eddie?… If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now.
THE THANG PART 3: The big, big finish
PAX finished in fine form with the following fun and games.
- Gecko crawl across the court
- Boo-yah merkins (Q was tired at this point and the cadence / count confused the heck out of the PAX)
- Clapping merkins
- Single leg hops / Marios
- Snow board hops
- Grand finale, 1 minute of hanging knee raises
Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
