Quite a few Granny regulars were out today – some celebrating birthdays by sleeping in, some coming down with a cold, and others probably relearning how to raise their arms after Saturday’s merkin massacre.
Luckily, though, we got some Marsh overflow when the man of the hour, the newly-respected Hammer, made his first Granny appearance in a while. Jose was of course there, now officially back in school mode, getting in his pre-thang while mentally preparing for his new role as the volleyball coach.
Complaining about our destroyed shoulders and chest, we briefly rehashed the notion that the most difficult merkins were placed at the start of Saturday’s 2 hour beatdown. Thankfully, though, the subjectivity of hardness didn’t raise its… er… head again.
Short warmorama before moseying over to our answer to The A1C’s “spa”: the fans under the corridor.
Simple routine today:
100 Freddie Mercuries – 10 Burpees, run the corridor to the stairs, 10 calf raises, then up, around, and back.
90 Mountain Climbers – 9 burpees, run, 9 calf raises, up around and back.
80 Hillbillies – 8 burpees, etc.
70 Squats – 7 burpees, etc.
60 Plank Jacks – 6 burpees, etc.
50 Sister Mary’s – 5 burpees, etc.
40 Big Boys – 4 burpees, etc.
30 Merkins – 3 burpees, etc.
20 Jump Squats – 2 burpees, etc.
10 Krakens
YHC was half-thankful and half-disappointed that Jose wasn’t around by the time we made it to the Krakens. I guess some things are better left to the imagination.
Hammer and I finished up with some Bulgarians, freaks, and box cutters before calling it. COT, prayers for Coachella, Sogo, Inga, and Hammer’s wife. Thank you guys for the friendship, the accountability, and the push to be a better man.
Oh, and Jose, perhaps some required viewing for your team:
