Muggy and not cool this morning at Granny\u2019s, as low 60s returned, as did the sweating for YHC. Jose was wrapping up his pre-thing run, all business-like and ready to kick some tail. Steve joined shortly thereafter. Reason number 104 to come out to Granny\u2019s: to catch Steve coming out for the darkness riding his bike, not looking a whole lot different than when Jigsaw wanders out to tell his next unsuspecting victim \u201cI want to play a game.\u201d Now I will ponder what a Saw-inspired beatdown would look like: \u201cyou have two minutes to complete 20 burpees with Waterpik form, or you\u2019ll be subject to feeling the Jose summer sweat splashdown\u201d. <\/p>\n

Warmup – all 10-15x IC
\nSealjacks, grass grabbers, high knees, imperial walkers, self love, toe touches <\/p>\n

Thang
\nI had hoped to compete what YHC calls the Escalator, 8 exercises, varying rep counts 1 through 8, total rep for each of the 8 at 36, as we moseyed in a figure 8 pattern around Granny\u2019s. Alas, it\u2019s a farther mosey than expected, so we were only able to complete 4 of the 8 rounds. All told, even without a fancy Garmin, my phone said we did about 2 miles, or about 3200 meters. Which is 8 times around a standard 400 meter track. Math, Jose! <\/p>\n

Exercises: <\/p>\n

8 count bodybuilders
\nSMCs
\nImperial squat walkers (2 is 1)
\nDonkey kicks
\nBig boy sit-ups
\nWide merkins
\nKid N Plays (2 is 1)
\nMurder bunnies <\/p>\n

Mumble revolved around Mardi Gras, leaks, appliances, episode 8s, and New Year\u2019s resolutions. <\/p>\n

COT, NOR, Announcements, Prayer, in that order.<\/p>\n

RCR, Camping, Ivan, all coming up. <\/p>\n

Major T claps to both Steve and Jose for posting after Sunday\u2019s nightmare, made all the more impressive because of Jose\u2019s IronPax \/ Au Lait \/ Nightmare trifecta. He continues to set the bar high. <\/p>\n
