It’s taken me over 12 hours to write the back blast due to a busy day and a small level of disappointment that we only got 1/5th of the PAX that were set to show per the preblast. All i want is to outnumber the swimmers. If high schoolers (and the parents that drive them) can hit the pool at 5:30, surely the men of Alpharetta can get a workout in.
But anyways, enough about those that weren’t there, here is the story of those who were.
At 529, Big South is looking for Baby South. They live together so this is odd, but maybe I don’t know all the details. 530 we gotta mosey, so we left. Original plan was to warmup where we used to always warmup (between the softball fields for the newbs) but we had straglers so to a lit area.
SSHs for the sake of SSHs
LBCs
Cotton Pickers
I’m warm at least, so lets roll. Baby south joins us.
To the red swingset, but first a quick people’s chair. The PAX wait as The Rubicon’s King (King Crack) crosses the mini rubicon bridge. Okay, so not really. Crack just make PAX member #12. Eleven is prime and awful for partner and group exercises, which we had planned and did.
Group up in to groups of three for a little mini Murph.
Partner 1 does 5 pullups while Partner 2 does merkins and Partner 3 does squats. When partner 1 fininshes he goes to Merkins, Partner 2 goes to squats, Partner 3 does 5 pullups. And so on. 10 cycles through the group for 50 pullups each and a healthy number of merkins and squats.
Partner up in 2s.
Partner 1 does pistol squats on the swings 10 w/ Left leg, Partner 2 does Imperial walker.

Mosey to the flag for a new Mary for a performance by The Beatles.
YhC got out the speaker and played The Beatles – Let It Be
PAX hold plank the entire song (>4 min). When you hear “let it be”, hold plank and touch both knees to the ground quickly and back into plan. (Credit M for this workout).
Great morning. Great group of guys.
Really impressed with Jordy and Ponch showing some consecutive attendance from their FNG posts recently.
YHC got the benefit of being on Team Long Arms with Cookie on the wheelbarrow runs
Did anyone see Baby South’s squats? Unreal.
