    The Thang:
    • Start with 21’s
    o The veteran PAX nailed it on the first attempt. No penalty assessed.
    • Rollin’ with the Homies (and FNG’s):
    o PAX form a circle. Start with one PAX who rolls both dice. The first number corresponds to the exercise; the second number is the number of base reps. The base reps will be multiplied by 10 for all except exercise 3 (sprints).
    o For example: PAX rolls 1 and 3 = exercise one for 30 reps (3 reps x 10 multiplier).
    o Entire PAX suffers the same routine based on each roll and gives 100% until 50% of PAX completes the exercise reps.
    o Once you complete the exercise, you plank or Al Gore in place until 50% of PAX are planking. Once 50% complete, we move to the next member of the circle and repeato.
