This morning’s beatdown had no creative themes and no coupons were used. There were no musical numbers. And this backblast (probably) won’t have any rhyming couplets. And that is because this beatdown, though it was to be led by the always-reliable and always-creative Grundy, was, in fact, Grundy-less.
But that was no problem with the crew the Marsh brings in these days. There was some Saints-Eagles chatter while we waited (Bushwacker reminding us that Grundy usually comes in hot), but alas, we eventually had to pull the trigger and YHC was the first to grab warm-up duties.
Warmorama: Good Mornings, Toe Touches, Windmills, SSH, Seal Jacks, High Knees, (all 20x IC) and 20x merkins OYO.
The Thang: Started with a warm-up run around the block to hit our 1 mile ISI challenge, then off to the pull-up bars to get to business:
1st Set of 7’s: 6 pull-ups to 1 merkin, down to 1 pull-up and 6 merkins.
2nd Set of 7’s: 6 hanging knees-to-chest to 1 burp-up (NOT to be confused with a burpo. Totally different and YHC knows the difference, totally.)
Over to the rickety metal benches for some loud leg work:
- Left leg knee ups, right leg knees ups, 10x IC.
- Irkins 10x IC
- Left leg Bulgarians, Right leg Bulgarians, 15x IC.
- Freak Nasties, 16x IC
- Box Jumps x10 (cut short, as we only intended to wake up the neighbors on Livingston, not the entirety of Old Mandeville).
[Sidebar: All numbers above are entirely accurate, Wacker. Though YHC will admit he’s lucky that he does not have to be audited by Grundy (since, again, he was not there).]
Over to the court for a round of: Monkey Humpers 20x IC, followed by bunny hopping half the court, bear crawling the rest. Rinse and repeat back.
And finally some Mary: big flutter kicks, little flutters, hello Dolly’s, Freddie Mercs., all at or around 20x IC.
COT, Pik prayed us out. Thanks men, enjoyed the impromptu lead! And thank you, Grundy – looking forward to tomorrow’s meeting with Sandy!
