Akbar Invents an Exercise

In searching the F3 ether for a titular experience from today’s Marsh beatdown, there were many to choose from. Unfortunately none of them really spoke to me. That is until I rewound the footage in my brain and saw our own Akbar slapping the ground in gorilla fashion…you’ll see.

WARM O RAMA

Continuous stream of F Arm Circles, R Arm Circles, Cherry Pickers, Overhead Claps, and Air Presses followed by Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Torso Twists, and 20 crunchy frogs

THANG

The Motivator – they laughed… but not for long! – 10 full SSH, shoulder level, down and out, then hands at sides, then 9 each, then 8, etc, non stop

Next we circled up and did continuous High Knees while each man took a turn at: 5 burpees, 5Bobby Hurleys, 5 Monkey Humpers*, 5Clerkins (hand clap merkins), 5 Imperial Squat Walkers, 5 Pull Ups over at the playground

*Akbar started us off and , thus, was the 1st man to start each new exercise. When it came time for monkey humpers (an exercise conspicuously absent during his tenure to this point), he was unfamiliar enough that he squated down an started slapping the ground like a worked up ape. Our collective snickers queued him to try to modify and began , with arms outstretched head of him, doing ankle-propelled hops in the low squat position – quite an amphibious feat. The Akbar Hop? The Troubled Toad?

Mosey to the lake for 10 Freak Nasties, 10 derkins, 10 Freak Nasties, 10 Derkins, 20 more Cowbell-lead Crunchy Frogs, 10 Freak Nasties and 10 Irkins before moseying back to the Marsh.

Thanks for following my goofy yet challenging lead today guys. It’s always a sign of a great beatdown when every man breaks a sweat and gets a chuckle in the same session!
