“Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.”
After coming in on two wheels, YHC delivered the above quote, frustrations with Amazon failing to deliver on time, and a disclaimer, and it was showtime!
The Thang:
Following an easy breezy mosey ending in the middle of the football field, the PAX circled up for a rousing warm up involving:
- SSH
- LBAC
- Overhead Claps
- Reverse LBAC
- Good Mornings
- SnL Squats
- WMH
YHC explained that on this day, the fifth of November, the PAX would commemorate the infamous Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot with a little routine dubbed “For FAWKES sake!” The PAX wo
- Flutter Kicks (2ct) x 23
- Atomic Merkins x 23
- Windshield Wipers x 12 ea
- Knee Jumps x 23 #crowdpleaser
- E2K x 12 ea
- Smurf Jacks x 23
Take a lap. Plank and wait for the six. RnR x 2 for three total rounds, 69 reps per exercise, or 414 total reps, the number of years since Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the House of Lords. #math
Keeping with the theme of blowing things up, PAX paired up for some mini-B.O.M.B.S. While P1 performs reps of first exercise, P2 runs 30-yard repeats until reps are complete and switches. Repeat for each exercise until both partners have completed all reps. Al Gore for six.
- Burpees x 10
- Overhead Claps x 15
- Merkins x 20
- BBSU x 25
- Squats x 30
Wouldn’t be a Guy Fawkes tribute without a V for Vendetta reference in the form of V-Ups x 11! Our co-conspirators await, so mosey back to the rendezvous point — uh-oh! looks like the search party is onto us — pick up the pace and give it all you got to the finish!
But alas, just as with Fawkes, the plan was foiled, and the PAX were found guilty of treason and sentenced to 15 Burpees.
Moleskine:
Always a pleasure to lead the men of III Pillars, and the new regulars of which the group is comprised. Great job by En Fuego (and Crablegs) on reinvigorating AO attendance via the Swaggy P games, and I’m confident the momentum will carry over into the frosty months ahead. Glad to have Deuce join the crew once again, especially since I talked him out of posting at Sir E. Sorry, Boyband!
Bullhorn:
- TAP for Toothless’s MIL’s upcoming eye procedure
- Tclaps to the PAX who participated in the Star Course Saturday: En Fuego, Leatherneck, and Umbrella as a 26.2 team, and Big Bang and Tortoise for the 50-miler. Shake their hand next time you see them!
- Less than three weeks until The Fittest. Who will be our six? Vote on Slack!
PA out.
