Thicker Park A.O.
PAX: LittleWing (FNG), Bombo (FNG), PacRat, OCB, Kato, Beaker, Optimus
Warm and humid. I can take one of those conditions like a champ, but both together are miserable. Last Sunday I got 2 HCs from FNGs for a Saturday 0700 workout. The goal was to put together a beatdown that had enough variety to give the FNGs a taste of what we do. We got close but were light on coupons. We made do like we always do.
It’s 0659 and there’s only me and the 2 FNGs onsite. Saturdays at T.P. normally have a showing. By go time we had 6 PAX. And shortly after warm-up, Beaker rolled up to make it an even 7.

Thang 2: Coupon Work
We had 7 PAX and 4 coupons. But for the sake of variety, we kept coupon work in. PAX formed 7 stations:
Station A – 30lb steel coupon
Station B – OCB’s cinder block
Station C – PacRat’s 20lb+ steel coupon
Station D – PacRat’s 30lb+ steel coupon
Station E – AMRAP merkins
Station F – AMRAP squats

PAX at Station A led the set. After the set, PAX rotated to the left and we repeated until all 7 PAX hit each station one time. We did 3 sets total:
SET1 – Coupon Curls x10 IC
SET2 – Coupon Presses x7 IC
SET3 – Coupon Bent-over Rows (u, u, d, u) x5 IC

Welcome Bombo and Little Wing. 0530 seems early now, but post up and in no time your heads will be popping off the pillow to get 1% better every morning. Little Wing was telling the group he likes a particular tea made in Argentina. Kato immediately though “Teabag” but though better of it :D
Man, these hot humid conditions will take some getting used to. But until I get used to them, you know where you’ll find me in the meantime: IN THE GLOOM
