With a frigid stage and low morale after Joe Brrrr’s magical run ended, the PAX needed a beatdown to get this week going. We needed love, we needed each other, but most of all we needed burpees. At 6:14 YHC was lonely at the Stage and I was working out how to do Power merkins solo when my Master Sensai Goose came in hot with the shovel flag.
Warmorama (14s!)
For a warmup switch we went dynamic with rich mansion loop warm up and did the following 14 reps of each on light poles: SSH, IW, Windmills, arm circles, high knees, butt kickers. Shout out to Percelator for catching up even though we abandoned the stage. Mosey back to the flag and discussed how Joe Brrrr needs more O line!!
Thang 1: Bad Romance
YHC gave a disclaimer that we would be honoring Valentines day by learning the love languages the hard way. But first we must acknowledge all those that came before our true love…
Lady Gaga “Bad Romance”- Merkins on LOVE, Peter Parkers on Bad Romance, hold plank for the rest and alternate individual breaks for a track lap (it’s a long one).
Thang 2: Love Languages
1. GIFTS- Started with 10 burpees alternating with prisoner squats in honor of St. Valentines imprisonment. (10 burpees run track 2 squats run track, 9 burpees, run track 4 squats…etc). After running some advanced calculus with Goose we got the routine down and felt the deep quad burn.
2. AFFIRMATIONS: We took turns picking from a box of chocolates with each individual wrapped treat including an affirmation to share with someone. Completed the following: 25 wide merkins, 60 second people chair, 40 mountain climbers, 20 step ups, 15 burpees
3. PHYSICAL TOUCH: Power merkins/Derkins. Partnered up and low man planks while the other guy has feet on plank guys back. Alternating power merkins and derkins than swap. (odd man out ran the track). Whats better than a couples massage??
4. SERVICE: ran low on time here but alternated wheelbarrow merkins and track runs and everyone had a round.
5. TIME: planned to spend this on Mary but we hit 7am so YHC assigned everyone a decade of the Rosary.
COT and Goose prayed us out.
