Pax of 11 braved the 14 mph gusts and one major squall lasting 3.4 minutes at Granny’s this morning. YHC arrived early to do a little chalk drawing of the day’s activities and Hammer was already ready to get going.
Warm up (all IC, 10-15x each)
– seal jacks
– imperial walkers
– cherry pickers
– high knees
– windmills
– arm circles
Thing before the Thang
Never one to shy away from a good mosey (ahem), YHC led a slow mosey around the warehouse and back through Granny’s columns (where Hammer had flashbacks to 1986 in the Lakeside mall arcade lining his quarters up to challenge any and all comers to Centipede).
In tribute to Shooter and his reluctance to get calf implants, Pax did calf raises up and down the pilot house (3 for each step).
Thang
Ladder: (A) 10 exercises, descending rep count from 10 to 1
(B) 10 rounds
(C) 10 different starting exercises, so theoretically 55 reps for each movement, 550 total (MATH!!!)
(D) Rotate clockwise positioning so each person calls out the next rep count and exercise
– merkins
– scissor kicks
– jump squats
– crab cakes
– plank jacks (2 is 1)
– big boy sit-ups
– sister Mary Catherine’s
– monkey humpers
– shoulder tap merkins
– crunchy frogs
Post-Thang Thing
Continuing with the theme of 5 (at marked market position 55 as noted by Chewy), YHC fondly remembers when Arby’s would fill up a growing boy with their “5 for $5” so pax did 5 reps of 5 exercises
– freak nastys
– circle ups
– groiners
– leg raises
– suicide squats
A plank for a minute or so of remaining time closed us out.
COT, count, name o Rama, and prayer wrapped things up.
