Two Kings and a Joker – from Russo

Date:2024-02-20
QIC:Russo
PAX:Steve, waterpik, russo

Temp was below 40 for the entirety, what YHC feels is the last bit of cold weather we’ll see for a while, but I’ve been wrong before.

Warmup – all IC 10x

– SSHs
– Arm circles
– Toe touches
– Cherry pickers
– High knees
– Self love

Thang – Deck of Death (count and exercise based on card turned over)

The deck provided the inspiration for the title: YHC the Joker was joined by two kings:

(1) Steve – King of making it look easy. I don’t doubt that he struggles on occasion. But you’d never be able to tell it. Effortless floating from one to the next. Smirking the entire time.

(2) Waterpik – King of Form and perfect execution. Flawless. Even the most demanding judge is mystified by the way he fully executes. No shortcuts. Watch him jump squat. While YHC is struggling to get down to a 135 degree angle, he’s headed all of the way down and back up. Amazing.

Back to the deck, we split the deck into 3 groups for rounds. Rounds included:
Spades – durkins
Clubs – freak nastys
Diamonds – Bulgarian split squats (2 is 1)
Hearts – leg raises

Spades – shoulder tap merkins
Clubs – calf raises (2 is 1)
Diamonds – SMCs
Hearts – Crunchy frogs

Spades – step ups
Clubs – Monkey Humpers
Diamonds – jump squats
Hearts – box cutters

Before and between rounds, we moseyed around Granny’s to accumulate some mileage.

Mary (all 15x)

– LMCs
– Gas pumps
– Penguins
– Heels to heaven
– Flutter kicks

Finally, 3 calf raises each step of the pilot house.

COT, name-o-rama, announcements and prayer closed us out.
