PAX of 15, with quite a few for EC, decided to swallow that red pill and post at Disney, “The Happiest Place on Earth”. Q was happy to see a strong showing of men this morning, especially when they could have posted at Tiger Blood for 90 minutes of running in circles around the track, boring…
EC: Cupid, Dahmer, UTI, Quiver, Deadbolt, Pablo, 187, [Lipton and Midget with the Murph, which does include 2 miles]
FNGs: None
Warm Up: All exercises in cadence: SSH x20; Imperial Walkers x10; Hillbillies x10; Windmill x 10, Sir Fazio Arm Circles 10F, 10R, Seal Claps and Overhead claps.
The Workout: PAX lined up in two groups for an Indian run that led them through the small parking lot near the community center entrance and then around the back of the school to the ticket booth and entrance area of the MCHS football stadium to do 2 sets of 10 each: Derkins, Irkins, and Dips. PAX partnered up to complete a triangle circuit of pain that included running over to a large set of steps (abyss’s step sister) and completing a set of Burpees at the bottom, running up the stairs and down the walkway to complete a set of monkey humpers, then running over to and down a smaller set of stairs back to the beginning to complete a set of Star Jumps. Reps for each exercise started at a 10 count and reduced by 1 repetition for each completed loop. Most PAX were able to complete 5-6 loops before Q called time and headed back toward the flag. On the way to the flag, Q stopped at the back of the school for some additional exercises. Partner#1 held “Balls to the Wall” while partner #2 did a 10 count IC of an exercise; partners switched places and repeat. Exercises were mountain climbers, shoulder taps, Merkins, and American Hammers PAX regrouped into an Indian Runs back to the flag for Mary.
Mary: All exercised done in cadence: Pickle Pounders x20; Homer to Marge: 10 regular, 10 right leg up, 10 left leg up; HAVE A NICE DAY!

T-Claps (Recognition): Lots of EC this morning & several Kotters (welcome back).
Prayer: Injured and sick Pax, our country, Pax leadership in the community, and a selfish request from YHC for God to fix the media!
Today we celebrated the life and wrestling lore of none other than the Macho Man Randy Savage. Though we didn’t get to nearly as much as YHC had planned, we had a raucous group of PAX making noise all throughout the neighborhood we should be quiet in. But that’s the way the Macho Man lived…insane in the brain, flamboyant, say it if you want to, and badass to the core!
FNG’s: none
Warm Up: Good Mornings x10 IC, 10 Burpees OYO, a mosey down into the hood, and we all know that the Macho Man could party like a rock star so…Moroccan Nightclubs IC x10. Finished with a mosey to the final cul-de-sac.
The Workout: So Macho Man’s first famous feuds were with Tito Santana and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. Back then, the Macho Man was smaller, high-flying, and faster. We circled up for a fast-feet/up-down progression for about 3 minutes.
We then remembered Miss Elizabeth, such an important part of the Macho Man journey, with Pickle Pounders x20 IC and Hello Dollys x15 IC.
PAX were instructed to return up the hill stopping at every “rope” (intersection) for some exercises, because Macho Man was never afraid to go to the top rope. Street 1: Star Jumps x15, Street 2: Squat Jumps x15, Street 3: Prisoner Squats x15, Street 4: The Top Rope, 15 Burpees OYO. Finished with 15 SSH IC before exiting the hood to go to church.
At the church parking lot, we referenced yet another famous feud with The Ultimate Warrior. If you remember, whenever the Ultimate Warrior would start his “comeback” in any match he would do something like an “airpress to the spirits” or whatever. So we did Jack Webb’s 1:3 ratio up to 5.
Now how did the Warrior always enter the ring? Running. Split PAX into 2 groups. 1 Group would Indian Run around the U at the church, while the other group did a suicide sprint to a series of 6 cones. Then, groups switched roles.
We did not forget that weird period where Macho was all in to Queen Sherri. Homer to Marge x 20 IC.
A quick mosey over to the rock pile for a reminder that Macho Man had also joined forces with, then split with Hulk Hogan…the largest pythons in the world baby! Curls for the Girls x 30.
Macho Man also got married to Miss Elizabeth shortly after the feud with Hogan. A famous scene unfolded in the WWF ring with the Macho lifting up Miss Elizabeth over his shoulders. Alternating Lunges IC x20, Overhead alternating presses with rocks x 20IC.
Unfortunately, YHC started running out of time here. But we didn’t want to forget that Macho Man got SWOLE!!!! in his later years of wrestling. Hand Release Merkins x 20. We finished with a mosey back to the flag.
Mary: 10 Burpees OYO upon return. Then, the entrance song for the Macho Man, Pomp and Circumstance, guided us for 4 minutes through a plank-o-rama, finishing with 20 Good Mornings. Have a Macho Day…Dig It!!!
Announcements: It’s on! May Monthly Challenge is live tomorrow.
