The Thang

Today’s workout involved a tribute to one of YHC’s favorite musical ensembles from my formative years: Run DMC. Pax started by running a lap around our designated loop. This was followed by 20 Diamond Merkins (that’s the D). A second lap was followed by 20 Merkins (the M), and a third lap was completed with 20 Carolina Dry Docks (the C). Three laps with corresponding exercises= 1 round. Pax were assigned three rounds, with the instruction to help out a brother upon completion.

After finishing Run DMC’s, Pax engaged in leg work:
20 Squats, hold for three-count in cadence

20 lunges each leg, in cadence

10 Squat jumps, hold for three count before jumping, in cadence

Workout ended with a dose of Mary:
20 LBC’s, three-count hold in cadence

25 Flutter Kicks in cadence

25 American Hammers in cadence

These Erwin Pax are all in, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way so many are showing up ready to work hard and push each other to get better. I knew there were some good men in Erwin, and these past two weeks have only confirmed that. This is going to be a special group. Great to have Donatello from JC come down and put in some work with us. I hope he sees what I see, and that he feels good about what he’s helping to start in Erwin.
