Watching the NFL Post season has been painful for us here in New Orleans.  YHC hoped to use the big game to create some useful pain.  The #downpainment was going to be inspired by the winner of the Super Bowl and YHC was planning a 12th man inspired Dirty McDeuce when an inexplicable play call created a sudden change.  The newly installed Patriot theme called for lots of Merkins and a Hero WOD stolen from Cross-fit.

It was good to see 5 strong on a blustery Metairie morning.  It was also fitting to have our resident Patriot fan in attendance.  It was time for another Patriot #beatdown.  To honor the winning score the Pax had to do 28 Merkins every time YHC called Super Bowl.

The Thang

  • Mosey to the Rock Pile for Warm-up
  • Warm-up COP: SSH x 30; Good Mornings x 16; Imperial Walkers x 30;
  • Select your rock
  • Mosey with your rock back toward the flag – along the way called Superbowl – 28 Merkins
  • Fence Chunkers – 20 reps = Patriots completions in first half
  • Mosey to the Soccer Field sideline – a little lagniappe for YHC and Chaka as we grabbed an extra bench and carried it roughly 20 yards #EveryYardCounts #JustAskPeteCarrol
  • Modified Carse (X-Fit Hero WOD) – going with the Patriot theme here: Start each round with a 50 yard Bear Crawl.
    • Super Bowl Called before the first Bear Crawl – 28 Merkins. #MumbleChatter:  I thought Seattle had a better defense, why did they allow 28 points?
    • Round 1: Squat Press Rock x 28; Bunny Hops IC x 28; Dead Lift Rock x 28; Box (Litrally a Bench) Jumps x 28
    • Round 2: Same thing, but 24 reps
    • Super Bowl Called – 28 Merkins
    • Round 3: Same thing, but 20 reps
    • One final bear crawl for good measure
  • Back to the flag with rock in tow.
  • More Fence Chunkers. Time only allowed for 8 reps.  Not sure what that represents….possibly the number of Seahawks that punched Gronkowski at the end of the game.
  • Return Rocks
  • Horse to stable back to the flag.

Moleskin

Great workout today.  I thought Rev was crazy for going with the short sleeves until 15 minutes in when I had to shed my overshirt.  There were definitely some good size rocks out there today (no matter how I try to word that, it just doesn’t sound right).  The Bunny Hops were much harder than YHC thought they would be.  Probably could have gone without trying to do them in cadence.  The intention was to do them over the rock, but that needed some modification by most.

Shout-Out

YHC led the shout out – Prayed for a specific request and gave praise for Root’s new job, even though it meant he couldn’t be with us.
