Northeast Tennessee

3rd time is the charm….or the pain

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

Weather: 60 and perfect

21 PAX showed up motivated and packing blocks to enjoy a beat-down. QIC was delivering Q #3 for the week and was highly motivated by the lack of any PAX signing up for said Q.

Beat-down zone #1

Partner up and grab a block

Partner 1 – 5×5 block work – 5 curls, 5 presses, 5 squats, 5 Carolina dry-docks, and 5 merkins in sequence as quicks as possible until partner 2 is ready to switch

Partner 2 – starting on the sideline, lateral burpees to the cones roughly 20 yards away and lateral bear-crawl back to the sideline. Repeat twice and switch with your partner.

20 minutes and let’s turn up the dial a bit

Welcome to our 2 FNGs and Alter Boy visiting from SC.

 

Matt Valentine – Insurance guy who played baseball in college. After much discussion regarding baseball the PAX landed on E4 (which refers to an error on the second baseman for those of us not up on America’s pastime).

 

Eric Schneider – 4th year pharmacy student. Before he could share anything relevant, someone noted the “KY” emblem on his shirt which represented his fraternity. KY Jelly was called, Alter Boy was asked to weigh in on the level of appropriateness, and the group settled on Jelly for short.
