With Yogi on the sideline (rest well sweet Prince) the run-and-gun (hold on that run) duo of Hello Kitty and Pierogi were the next men up to lead an All-American beat down at Danger Zone.
Warmup:
Kitty led the PAX for a warmup lap around the pickle at a noticeably low-slow tempo. Circle up in honor of the 10-year anniversary of the Mighty Mountaineers defeating the #5 ranked Michigan Wolverines IN THE FRIGGIN’ BIG HOUSE, 34-32:
- Good morning (some count not tied to 34-32)…ok now to the theme
- Merkin x 34
- Imperial Walker (Kitty took the liberty of modifying for a Hilly Billy) x 32
- Sir Fazio Arm Circles Forward x 17
- Sir Fazio Arm Circle Backward x 17
- Merkin x 2 (as in 34-32=2)
Thang 1:
With storm clouds looming, and the Kitty not interested in a rain game, the PAX shuffled to the shelter. To keep the other team on their toes we called a play rarely seen in the 1st Quarter… a Hail Mary, “on your six!” for:
- LBC x 34 in cadence
- Plank on a 32 count (Hi-Liter… nice and slow)
- Freddy Mercury x 34 in cadence
- Plank on a 32 count
- WWII (PAX love you Yogi) on my up x 17
- Plank on a 32 count
- Merkin on up x 17
- Plank on a 32 count
Thang 2:
With Hello Kitty still reliving the glory that was the 2007 App State Mountaineers, Pierogi took the PAX through a series of celebration routines. We have a lot to celebrate in CARPex!
Celebration Merkins:
Split the PAX into three groups of 5.
1 PAX on the table with remaining 4 PAX lifting HIM up.
10x ‘merkins on table with remaining 4 PAX squatting (with table!) in cadence.
Rotate through all 5 PAX
For reference:
Mini DORA (it’s a celebration ‘cause it’s shorter):
50 ‘merkins
100 dips
150 lunges (each leg one)
Touchdown starts with a “T”:
Starting position move:
IC, left arm only, right arm stays out:
10x ITY-bITY Sir Fazio arm circles
10x ITY-bITY in reverse
10x bigly arm circles
10x ylgib arm circles
Repeato with other arm. Although simple, there were a lot of droopy arms at the end.
For reference:
Touchdown Flow to end it:
4x 5-count flow sequence of Arms Up (TD signal), Al Gores, Plank Hold, Lunge Hold, Warrior-1
Announcements:
- Next F3 Dads is 9/16
- Pet Sounds PAX weekend (not broke back at all) is 9/15

Prayers:

NMS:
- Hello Kitty: As always, it is an honor to lead the PAX through a post, and happy to step up and step in for Yogi while he heals up that tweaked back. Today I hope you all got a little stronger, I know I did, physically, mentally and emotionally. For that I thank all of you HIM and let’s go out and attack the day with an enthusiasm unknown to man.
