“Shoeless” Joe Jackson:\u00a0 “Is this Heaven?”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ray Kinsella:\u00a0 “No, it’s Iowa.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

YHC has never been to Iowa.\u00a0 He has, however, been to Baton Rouge….Saturday morning as a matter of fact…and has to admit that Highland Park is beatdown heaven.\u00a0 If we build it in Baton Rouge, they will come…just like Charlotte, just like NOLA, and yes just like the Northshore…that is a certainty.<\/p>\n

So seven Northshore PAX arrived in the Highland Park Gloom, appearing seemingly out of the mist like Shoeless Joe Jackson and his teammates, ready to play ball.\u00a0 It went like this after a thorough and legally binding Disclaimer:<\/p>\n

The Warmup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Determined to deliver knowledge, each Northshore PAX led one of our standard warmup exercises then picked out one of the Baton Rouge PAX to repeat it.\u00a0 YHC kicked things off with Seal Jacks 10x IC, kicked it to Worms for a repeat, EiEi picked it up for Hillbillies 10x IC,\u00a0 kicked it to Rocket for a repeat, and so on working through High Knees, Butt Kicks, Side Saddle Hops, Copperhead Squats, Good Mornings, and Imperial Walkers.\u00a0 False starts, mental lapses, and counting errors a plenty but, hey, the School of Q was in session and the Northshore PAX could have stayed in their fartsacks instead of piling in the Clown Car for the road trip\u00a0 if the BR PAX already knew the drill.<\/p>\n

The Thang<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shooter took over for a Tabata set with Merkins and Plank Jacks as the featured exercises.\u00a0 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, repeat 3 rounds.\u00a0 Professor Shooter then explained to our Baton Rouge brothers the versatility of the Tabata format for delivering pain through a variety of featured exercises, dropping a big pearl of wisdom on the BR men.<\/p>\n

Mosey to the Sundial where Steve unleashed his trademarked Bulgarian Squats on the PAX.\u00a0 Sprinkling in Freak Nasties, Step Ups and Derkins had the BR PAX thinking that they were no longer in the minor league.<\/p>\n

And if that didn’t do it, the Mosey over to the top of Mount Highland Park for Burpback Mountain definitely signaled the arrival to the Big League.\u00a0 \u00a0Partnering up, teams of PAX performed 100 burpees…one partner running down the mountain to the stream and then back up while his partners performed as many burpees as possible on the way to 100.\u00a0 Is it worth crawling out of the fartsack for an easy beatdown?\u00a0 Negative.<\/p>\n

Mosey back towards the Shovel Flags where THE Manny set the PAX up for a plank slalom.\u00a0 16 PAX planked up while the last man sprinted\/backpedaled through the others, planking up himself when he reached the end and signaling the next man to get busy.\u00a0 Once the last PAX completed his sprint\/backpedal slalom, it was time for a 10 count refresher course before the PAX moved on to Mary.<\/p>\n

Carpool educated the Baton Rouge PAX on LBCs and then EiEi delivered the final pitch of the morning with his legendary Jane Fonda sequence.<\/p>\n

Countorama, nameorama, and THE Manny prayed us out on our way to the coffeeteria.<\/p>\n

The Northshore PAX was honored to lead.\u00a0 Thanks for having us.<\/p>\n
