I’ve heard an alfajor described as an Argentine moon pie. Which sort of seems insulting to something as tasty as an alfajor. It’s like saying Messi is an Argentine Landon Donovan. Sure there may be some basic similarities, but the analogy is lacking. It’s like saying Jadaveon is an Uptown Rudy. Anyway, the point is alfajores are delicious and I used them to get Yankee to post at Fight Club.
Conditions: 40 degrees and blustery
Warmup: SSH (IC) x 40*; IW (IC) x 20; Merkins x 15; Calf Raises (IC) x 15; Burpees x 15; But Kicks (IC) x 15; Low Country Crab (IC) x 15; Freddie Mercuries (IC) x 15; X Jumps x 15; Jump Lunges (10 each leg); Bobby Hurley x 10
*Yankee showed up about half way through the warm-up so it was just me and Rev for the SSH. I must say these were the most perfectly in sync and crisp SSH’s I’ve ever been a part of. I only went to 40 because I didn’t want them to end. It was magical.
The Thang
Hit the ledge for an all leg chili pepper:
- Round 1: 16 Channing Tatums; 8 box jumps aka Bongos; 16 Tatum Channings; 8 Low Slow Squats
- Round 2: 12 Channing Tatums; 6 Bongos; 12 Tatum Channings; 6 Low Slow Squats
- Round 3: 8 Channing Tatums; 4 Bongos; 8 Tatum Channings; 4 Low Slow Squats
- Round 1: 5 Channing Tatums; 20 Bongos; 5 Tatum Channings; 20 Low Slow Squats
Break out the Destrahan Dodecahedron (a 12 sided die with various exercises, many inlcuded in the warm-up, that I obtained at a Destrahan workout…those were the good ‘ol days.) We cast the D&D Die to chose the exercises for the Fight Club Special
Fight Club Special – run to the top of the levee and perform exercise #1 then run back down to the bottom to perform exercise #2. Do this 5 times and that is 1 round.
- Round 1: Calf Raises x 30 and Peter Parkers x 30
- Round 2: Freddie Mercs x 50 and Peter Parker x 30
- Round 3: Jump Lunges x 10 each leg and Calf Raises x 30
That was it. We prayed and then I gave Yankee a box of alfajores for his troubles. To my surprise he shared with Rev Sox.
Thoughts
- Fight Club needs your support. Think about making the trip out there. Rev Sox is working hard to EH locals, but the struggle is real. Gremlin is a regular and we should work to keep this thing alive, if just for him and Rev.
- FYI – this AO is treacherous in flip-flops. I recommend shoes.
