A record 20 pax posted on this fine gloomy morning in epic fashion, lead by TPS who always manages to beat the shovel flag. The 20 included 2 FNGs who were top notch additions to the #Natville Pax. Jeremiah Hendrick, former National Champion football player at Elon, now forever known as “Glory Days” amongst the Nation and Cory Flowers, a local member of our Police force, named Proctor (Blue Oyster was already taken). Welcome men!

After all proper introductions, expectations, instructions, disclaimers etc we moseyed up to the baseball diamond for the W.A.R.

The Thang

Pax counted off into 4s for a nice 5 member groups. There were 4 stations along the 3rd base line fence. Each station had an “item” that needed some transportation, some ropes that need to be jumped and some resistance bands that needed to be stretched.

Station 1 – 10lb Med ball

Station 2 – 10lb Exercise Bar

Station 3 – 15lb Med Ball

Station 4 – 15lb Exercice Bar with heavy chains attached #chaingang

Instruction: Transporter carried item to the 2nd base grass line – dropped item, ran to right field, performed 5 Burpees, returned to their item, and brought it home for the next man up.

Remaining Pax performed the prescribed exercises with the last man in line jumping rope. Exercises were performed relay style.

Alternating Sets upon switch.

Set 1 – Bicep Curl, Front Shoulder Raise, Shoulder Press, Overhead Tricep Extension

Set 2 – Merkin, Carolina Dry Dock, Diamond Merkin, Burpee

  • Chain Gangs across the nation would have been proud of our surprise #prop
  • T-Claps to our #Statham esque transporters J-Love and Long Time
  • All the men who go the distances to collect Qs props are noticed and very much appreciated. Servant’s hearts not looking for any credit. Love these men and their leadership by example

Aye!
