YHC arrived at the AO early, energized after the rousing performance by U2 the night before, and eager to discuss the show with the many other F3 men that attended. YHC was joined by 3 PAX, but as 0530 approached, it appeared that the concert-goers chose to fartsack, so on with the show.
0530 – Disclaimer, grab a rock and head out onto the field.
10 SSH for a quick warm up.
Since it was his 53rd birthday, YHC had an ambitious plan for a Deck of Death +1.
- Spades = American Hammer; Hearts = Merkins; Clubs = Jump Squats; Diamonds = Kettlebell Swing w/Rock
- Number of reps according to face value of card dealt (2-10; Jacks=11; Queens=12; Kings=13; Aces=14; and 1 Joker=15), except,
Wild Cards (for variety):
- DeucesMini Dirty Mac Deuce (2 each of Pullover to Press/LBC/Forward Lunge (Spades); Curl to Press/Heavy Freddies/Rear Lunge with Twist (Hearts); Reverse Curl to Press/Monkey Crunches/Side Lunge with Press Out (Clubs); Deadlift to Upright Row/Reverse Crunches/Low Slow Squat (Diamonds))
- Jacks: Spades=Plank Jacks; Hearts=Seal Jacks; Clubs=Smurf Jacks; Diamonds=Star Jacks
- Joker=8-Count Body Builders
As I said, the plan was ambitious (maybe too ambitious), and numerous 10 and 20 counts were necessary as more cards were dealt. Nevertheless, we completed 44 of 53 cards in the time allotted.
Total work done:
- 86 American Hammers
- 84 Merkins
- 77 Squat Jumps
- 77 Kettlebell Swings
- 15 8-Count Body Builders
- 11 Plank Jacks
- 11 Seal Jacks
- 2 Pullover to Press/LBC/Forward Lunge
- 2 Reverse Curl to Press/Monkey Crunches/Side Lunge with Press Out
- 2 Deadlift to Upright Row/Reverse Crunches/Low Slow Squat
Count off; name-o-rama; and BOM for a prayer.
All said and done, it was a Beautiful Day. T-Claps to the PAX for indulging me. Thanks for letting me lead.
