Staples led a Cindy pre-party that was attended by Barney, Stats, Nimbus, Creeper, Sex Ed and Old Hickory.

14 PAX came together in the gloom for an all you can handle sweat fest. Pax in attendance included: Barney Fievel (QiC), Netflix, Staples, Glen Gary, TV Guide, Stats, Mursa, Nimbus 1500, MicDrop, JK, Old Hickory, Tebow, Creeper, and Sex Ed.

We started things off with an extended Show Me lap around the track.

Warm Up:

15 SSH, 10 seal straddle hop, and 6 low and slow squats, all IC.

We’re going to get nice and chummy this morning with a partner-intensive workout!

Thang 1: Partner Carries

PAX were given 10 seconds to pair up. Line up at the light and carry your partner to the far light. Before switching, drop and bust out 20 merkins each. Don’t forget to do 20 more merkins after you make your way back to the start.

Repeat, but switch to wheelbarrow carry and 10 dunkaroos at each end instead of merkins. This was the longest wheelbarrow I can remember us ever doing. Nice work, guys!

Thang 2: Love Thy Neighbor

Stop by Barney’s beautiful black truck and pick up one coupon (20 pounds) per duo.

3 exercises with an assigned number of reps (below) must be completed as a 2-man group. One PAX begins assigned exercise while other PAX jogs out to the far light. That PAX jogs back to partner performing exercise and picks up where they left off. Repeat until assigned number of reps of each exercise are completed. How much do you love your neighbor? Enough to pick up the pace on that jog back and “relieve” him?!

Exercises were:

  • 60 Blockees (coupon burpees)
  • 70 S2S Block Merkins
  • 80 Block Squats

With our last couple of minutes, the PAX bear crawled our beloved bridge before taking a long mosey down Nolensville Pike back to the parking lot.

TClaps to Nimbus for letting the Q have some of his fancy coffee and then having it spilled merlot-style all over the parking lot. Delicious!

Announcements: 

    • Keep Staples dad in your prayers. He was transferred to another hospital after some blood pressure problems.
    • Also keep praying for Netflix’s 2.3 as she continues to grow and get stronger. We’re praying she gets to come home soon.
    • We’re only 1 week into the Iron Clad Challenge. It’s not too late to sign up! The November Gauntlet will be here before you know it. Use this time to prepare your minds and bodies for the battle ahead!
