Circus Maximus had 6 for a Hot Potato today, including an FNG headlocked by Offshore. Fireman Ed receives credit for the coming up with the name ‘Bedpan’ (our FNG works at an Assisted Living facility.) Unfortunately, I forgot his hospital name! But he’s from Statesboro Ga, went to Wake Forest, knew Offshore before he moved here recently, his wife is from Atlanta, she’s part Lebanese, she worked at the Lebanese food festival this past weekend which apparently was a big success, he works for Beth Sholom assisted living, his children go to Godwin HS and Quioccasin MS and he lives…

7 merry lads got together for some kettle bell fun. It went a little something like this: COP: DQs, CPs, Merkins, MCs, FMs and ACs. Run around bus loop. Mosey with coupon held high to side of school facing pump. Lindseys with coupon press and heels to heaven, Run to the fire “hydrant”, not extinguisher after each set. Mosey with coupon held high to main parking lot. Next exercise: Burpee with overhead coupon press for each parking line. We did not go through the whole parking lot. If we did, a mutiny would likely have occurred. Estimating 15 burpees with…

Instead of teams of three, PAX split into pairs and completed exercises in pairs, re-shuffling pairs each time. Mosey to the courtyard for: Weighted Left Leg Step Ups, Weighted Right Leg Step Ups, Hallelujah Carry around the tree. The Q was wiped out after this and called for a…

Circus Maximus featured a “substitute for Atilla” Q. After last week’s 100% upper body KB workout, I took the hint and Q’d today. Please be sure to sign-up to Q. Next time, Atilla will likely make it 100% leg exercises or something equally awful. Welcome Link to his first time at Circus Maximus. Congratulations to Fireman Ed for figuring out how to put his shirt on correctly. And Congratulations to Soul Train for his second Circus Maximus as well as the headlock on Link. Warmup with SSH, IW Russian Soldier, Don Quixote, Shoulder stretch 20 and 5, 15 and 10,…
