EC: @Finkle, @U.T.I., @Lipstick
PAX: @Sprinkler, @Finkle, @U.T.I., @Lipstick, @Pumps, @Double D
Warm-up: Quick Mosey around the park sidewalk and came back for some Good Mornings, Mountain Climbers, Hillbillies, Downward Dog, and Sir Fazio’s.
Event 1: Navy Seals – tried a new event that YHC has been dreaming up in my spare time. This was a 20 count seal clap, 20 count overhead clap, 10 merkins, and 30 second plank hold at one end of the parking lot. Then mosey to the other end John Cusack style and R/R. We did 4 rounds and it was exciting. It would be good to switch out merkins with Balls to the Wall or another arm exercise.
Event 2: @Pumps complained that his legs were cold and like yah, it’s 29 degrees outside and you’re wearing shorts bro… So we did 11’s. Squats at one end and lunges at the other.
Event 3: @Sprinkler asked a wonderful question of when does the workout begin so I decided to go for the trifecta and we did typewriters down the block wall. That’s another @Finkle specialty with 10 dips and flip over to do 10 Irkins and repeat all the way down the wall.
Mary: @Pumps again was begging for the sneak peak. Another signature @Finkle move which is a wide up and out step in place giving those around a sneak peak of the “package.” And to end this perfect workout with perfect weather on a perfect morning we had to pair the sneak peak with some Meat Gazers. @Lipstick was especially fond of this one…for some unknown reason.
Prayer Requests: @U.T.I.’s m-in-law needing a kidney transplant, @Gamecock is sick.

Warm Up: SSH, windmill, good morning, sir fazio arm circles, frankenstein, slo-mo merkins
The Workout: Super lazy copy and paste from a workout Abe ran here last year. Starting from the parking lot, made our way down the greenway, stopping at every other light pole for an exercise. Upper, Lower, Core, repeato.
For upper, we either did a merkin sampler (5 standard, 5 wide grip, 5 diamond), or Carolina Dry Docks.
Lower we alternated between standard squats and jump squats (Squat down, touch the ground with both hands outside the feet, then spring up to a jump).
Core was only WWIIs. I wanted to max these out for some reason. Mission accomplished.
Mary: Not much time left, so we did box cutters and LBCs…I think that’s it.
Announcements: Nope
Prayer: My M in her job search
