Big Papi is on Bourbon St still?

16 PAX gathered at the Birdcage on this chilly may morning. Seaman was lamenting the fact that summer hasn’t brought the heat and oppressive humidity that is just around the corner. Nip/Tuck wandered up to the waiting PAX in a early morning daze. Made me laugh.

Roots asked me to sub his Q for him – I Q’d the first birdcage workout – so I love to step up for this one whenever I can. Mental note that next time I am going to pass the buck to YSR or Sandbar – both are ready for their VQs.

I made my plan for our brother from Rock Hill – Big Papi. He joined us on Monday and I wanted to give him an authentic NOLA beatdown but at 230 in the AM I got the fart sack text that Bourbon St kept our man from an AM post. He is not the first exchange student to our PAX that had good intentions of a beatdown waylaid by the urine smelly street of Bourbon with its hand grenades, jazz, neon lights, etc — nor will he be the last. We enjoyed having him on Monday – maybe we will get the chance to gloom again in the future.

Warm up: SSH x 20, Imp Walker Squats x 20, Merks x 15, Fire Hydrant x 20
Mosey to the Row bars.
Do 20 rows then mosey to pull ups 10 pull ups then mosey to the tables for 30 jump squats. Complete two laps of this exercise!

Then we lined up at the tables. Power step ups down one length of the tables, bear crawl sideways on the left, bear crawl sideways on the right and power step ups down the length again using other leg. Tclaps to Nip/Tuck for figuring out how to get both legs involved.

After that we did TABATA with Burpees (8 rounds 20 sec on 10 off)–I got in 48 burpees total.
Our second Tabata round was Donkey Kicks. (8 rounds 20 sec on 10 off switching legs). When we were finishing Donkey kicks I stupidly said thing of me later when you ass hurts. That prompted a bunch or mumblechatter – none to be repeated here. use your imagination.

I had two other planned TABATA rounds but time was running out.
So we circled up for Mary. For Mary we did Hip Dips x 12 R and L, Dead Bugs x 30 (Rotate r/l) not Dying Roaches, Russian Twist x 15, and we finished with some plank walk x 20.

We closed our circle with a shout out to G-spot who is having baby number 2 today. We also had a moment of silence to our F3 brother Papa Smurf.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead and to push the PAX.
