Introduction
Beautiful day for a free, peer-led workout. Got there early to set up then met Bunker, Farmers Only, and Bunny Hill for a 1.5M EC run to McD’s and back.
The plan for this workout was to completely exhaust the chest muscles. It consisted of 500 combined reps of presses and various types of Merkins. A bit of running was involved for a little cardio but more importantly, to give everyone a few minutes before hitting the chest again.
Warm-O-Rama
Lap around the lot with regular mosey, side straddles and high knees to get the joints loose.
Michael Phelps x 10
Three different chest stretches, each for a 10 second count
The Thang
Set up 5 different stations at 4 locations throughot the AO. All exercises were OYO and Site Q extraordinaire Second Best stayed with the 6. PAX ran from one station to another.
- West end of parking lot near curb – Chest presses x 300
- Grass berm at east end of parking lot – Clock Merkins x 10 at 12:00, 3:00. 6:00. 9:00 (40 total)
- Small pavilion/planter bed area – Irkins x 20 and Derkins x 20
- In field just south of coffee shack – Catalina Wine Mixers x 20
- Back at west end of parking lot – Abyss Merkins (coupon and curb) x 100
More stretching and Merkin ring of fire for Mary.
Circle of Trust
During WoR I told PAX to think about one thing about themself that most, if not all, the PAX present did not know about them. During COT I asked Hot Lava to share his thought. He then called on another PAx, who then called on another until 6 people told the group something personal about themselves. I then shared that my wife and I had recently celebrated 30 years of marriage but that for a full year+ we had lived apart and. by the grace of God, we got back together.
I actually had another plan for COT that I decided on earlier in the week. However, the conversation at Q Source on Thursday prompted me to go in a different direction and seek to know at least a few of the PAX on a more personal level.

Great push by everyone today. Hope the chest muscles don’t hurt for too long.
