- On the incline, 5 military presses (if no coupon, scorpion drydocks)
- On the top, 5 weighted squats (if no coupon, regular or jump squats)
- On the decline, 5 skull crushers (if no coupon, merkins)
- On the stage, 5 wwIIIs

Moleskin:
I have to say, I really enjoyed this beatdown. It was a slow grind without rest that really worked us (especially our legs). I didn’t think about how much WORK it is to do so many lunges while holding a coupon. Everybody did great with this one, and though it was a very young group today we still had Optimus to represent the respect crew. As usual, he killed it. The 3 brothers (OCB, Crash, Gatsby) are always a lot of fun to have at these beatdowns together and are really encouraging. Joker got a 3rd taste of F3, probably his most painful one yet. It only took Gummy Bear five minutes before he was sprinting to the porta-potty. PacRat got some good leg work before he sits on a plane for 3 hours (have a safe trip, PacRat!).
I liked that today we were pushing it hard the whole time but it was slow enough for some good mumble chatter.
GB had the good idea to stash some extra coupons/blocks on site. We’ve definitely needed that the past few weeks.
Have a good week everybody, and God bless. I heard an interesting reminder this morning that we need to keep running the race, keep fighting the fight, and Christ through the working of the Holy Spirit will do the work of sanctification. Don’t be discouraged by the negative, set your eyes on Christ and be comforted and strengthened by the hope we have in him.
See you soon,
Goon.
