On the 6th of May 2017, two men gathered in the gloom with a mutual objective. The regulars of Troubled Waters went to support another AO, leaving only two to keep watch over Troubled Waters. And even if our wannabe FNGs had escaped the EH we put them in, it was go time. Mammon was calling on Q after the gloom, so Q audibled and decided we’d try to condense the beat down to 45 minutes. A mosey to the starting line for the morning delight.

Warm-Up:
Ain’t nobody got time for that, it’s go time! The PAX was on the move and did our rounds around the park, dropping every quarter mile for 25 merkins. But today isn’t chest day.

The PAX lapped a few power walking FIAs (unofficial), realizing the 6:30 AM Saturday “gloom” might as well be the afternoon. Halt at the pull-up bar for a change of pace.

Quick Circle Line of Pain:
1. PCMBs (Prisoner Cell Merkin Burpees) x10
2. Pull-Ups x10
3. Merkins x10
Well that was nice, let’s do it again.

Okay, enough of that, on your feet! Double time to the tennis courts. A set of 10 Bay City Scissors just to say we did abs today too.

Now, who’s bright idea was it to do 300 squats a day? That’s irrelevant. 6 sets of 50 squats coming right up! The PAX took brief rests in between sets to do bench dips and daydream about what the crew was doing at the Mothership AO. With burning quads, Q thundered his seal of approval during the last set. I believe it went something like this:

PAX approved.

Our watch was over and the PAX was content with our decision to take the Red Pill today and continue our quest to be HIM. Counterama and Namerama (nothing but mutual hate today), Announcearama, and the Ball of Man to send us on our way. T-claps to Joe Dirt for his DRP commitment and healthy competition. We may have to upgrade our EH to ETKs to bring in some more FNGs. But for now, the core is strong, and we’re committed to the mission.
