A reprise of the famous chain gang workout returns by popular request. After a brief warmup of 10x SSH/Toe Touches/Arm circles a short mossey to the Oxlot next to the Woodwright shop. After dragging out the chain (about a 150′ of 3/8″) and stretching it out doubled the 5′ and 6′ tires were placed in the middle. The Pax counted off and the 1’s on one side and 2’s on the other. The thang consisted of on your own sets of 5 reps Mer/BBSU/Leg Raises/Squats/Toetouches for everyone while alternating turns to drag the doubled chain 400′ return and flip your choice of tires 5 times. It gets interesting when the creativity kicks in. The animals couldn’t resist dragging while doing arm presses or backwards or running or holding arms outstretched. Of course getting mumble chattered to exceed the last CSAUPA. Since the by all appearances light weight Rep routine seemed easy most didn’t notice that the continuous rinse and repeat started to add up.

Im not sure but I think Zoolander and Cowbell being slightly out of their minds even invented a new Merkin. Take a hand clap Merkin and add a feet clap at the same time and you get I will call tentatively the Antigravity Merkin.

Yours truly was impressed. After 45 every member of the PAX had achieved his own very real beatdown. Countarama and close with a prayer of thanks for our new strengthened ability to share.

Shooter, Einstein, Barely Legal, Steve, Bart, Cow Bell, Bush Whacker, Moby Dick, Maverick, sorry but I’m missing one

Yours truly Moby Dick hasn’t been Q very often and being the really old guy there was the anticipation that this beatdown was going to be light duty. The warm up didn’t give much of a clue to what the Thang was either. A few SSH/Torso Twists/Toe touches/ Arm Circles/ Arm Presses didn’t beat anyone down. The only hint was the suggested gloves. The Thang was laid out to be 4 exercises 5x each Deep Squats/Sister Mary Catherine’s/ Big Boy Sit-ups/T Merkins. All to be performed with full form in mind as per this old guys demonstration. The PAX took a short mossey to the nearby open parking lot for the rest of the reveal. There awaited a 175’ of 1/2 cargo chain stretched out on the concrete doubled on itself to make two even lenghts. After a count off the Thang was for the first guy to drag the chain lengths the width of the parking lot and return. The next man picked up the other end and dragged it back. Mean while the rest of the pax continues the exercise cycle on their own. We lost count how many times that chain got dragged but everyone got the workout they needed. It’s amazing how many CSAUP ways one can drag a chain and how many reps one can wrack up in small batches.

Beatdown need on time with Count and Name arama and Grateful prayers for what we have been given to share.
