Another glorious morning with the Maintenance Crew, where the mission remains simple: keep moving and avoid making any new noises getting out of bed tomorrow.

We started by warming up with the Rapho PAX before transitioning to our own slightly less aggressive fitness routine. As usual, we completed the required Slowsie to the pavilion.  Double Down was shocked when we started to “run”.

The Thang
30 seconds AMRAP each exercise — 3 rounds total:

• Wall Push-Ups
• Single Leg Stand
• Lateral Steps
• Elbow to Knee
• Wood Choppers

A perfect blend of balance, mobility, and “let’s not tweak anything super important before Double Down has to mulch.”

Team Work

One PAX walked (NO RUNNING — this is Maintenance Crew, not a running club) while the other PAX did the work until we hit the totals:

• 150 Calf Raises
• 100 Bench Squats
• 75 Irkins
• 40 Dips

Maintenance Crew teamwork at its finest: moderate effort, no complaining.

15 Minute Merkin Walk

During the walk, every minute the PAX stopped and completed one additional Merkin:

Minute 1 = 1 Merkin
Minute 2 = 2 Merkins
Minute 3 = 3 Merkins

…all the way to Minute 15.

Since Double Down does 200 Merkins a day like a machine, we kept going until we hit 200 total Merkins while still maintaining the highly respected Maintenance Crew speed standard: “slightly faster than mall walking.”

COT/Coffeeteria with Rapho PAX

Everyone survived.  Eagle reportedly broke a sweat.  Double Down was fully primed for a day of mulch spreading.

Another successful Maintenance Crew beatdown in the books.
