7 PAX posted for another Thursday edition beatdown in the gloom here at #TheRanch. Weather was just right, but mosquitoes were out for vengeance today. The flag was planted, and the men of F3Lutz went to work. YHC had plenty of Merkins listed on his winke. Post beatdown, according to @no-see-um, it was a March Merkin Madness warm-up…

Let’s Mosey! Around dog park/tennis courts and back to BB courts.

Warmup Time.

  • SSH
  • Imp Walkers
  • Frankenstein’s
  • Cotton Pickers
  • Baby Arm Circles
  • Sumo Squats
  • Clerkins

At this time @murphy arrived (we might rename him to Tardy), so YHC asked for an SSH till he gets out of the car and joins us. For some reason @murphy took a lot longer to get out of the car then what YHC had assumed it would take, so we started to Mosey. But first, pick up a coupon (weight vest) and then Mosey to the Dead End.

Time for Aiken Legs with Aiken Chest. All OYO.

  • (x20) Squats
  • (x20) Merkins
  • (x20) Curb Jumps
  • (x20) Merkins
  • (x20) Lunges
  • (x20) Merkins
  • (x20) Split Jacks
  • (x20) Merkins
  • (x20) Pulse Squats
  • (x20) Merkins

When done, SSH till all PAX are done.

Mosey back to BB courts.

Line up behind YHC in the right-hand corner and time to Bear Crawl around the court. Start with side, then backward, then the other side, then finish with forward.

Quick water break and time to…
