Merkins, Burpees and One Eyed Jacks

PAX:Kimchi, Torque, Mathlete, Terabyte, Maverick, Steel Pony-FNG

Troubled Waters was abandoned Thursday morning, by all but 1 lonely, faithful fermented cabbage.  So, I decided to keep absolutely quiet before this morning, and unsurprisingly, 5 faithful men rolled in before 6:30, including a mothership regular, Maverick who EH’d an FNG from the river parishes.

Plant the flag, no discussion of who was Q’ing, so I was ready to go.  Thankfully, so was Kimchi.  Quick mind-melt.  We’ll tag team.  Perfect, because I was not prepared for a warmup or Mary.

Kimchi led the warmup:

SSH x Infiniti, with some slow jacks at the end and some strange counts that basically made sure none of the PAX knew how many we did.  It was 50…and it might as well have been 1,000.

Arm Circles – 20 forward, stop. Keep hands up. 20 OH Claps, stop.  Keep hands up.  20 Arm circles backwards, stop.  Keep hands up, 20 Seal Claps.  Kimchi is a shoulder terrorist.

Merkins x 20.

Mosy to the Tennis Courts.

Quick stop at the pull-up bar, because I had a wild hair.

All PAX hold a position while one PAX does 5 pull-ups & rotate

Holding: Al Gores, Planks, Left Planks, Right Planks, Al Gores again, (cause I’m not creative)

One More time, but just hold the plank.

 

Let’s just go to the tennis courts:

Prisoner Cell Burpees

Start at one corner of the tennis courts, 10 Burpees, run to the next corner, repeat for all four corners, plank for the 6.

MUCHO MERKINS

We have 2 courts side by side, so we did merkins in the doubles lanes.

10X Merkins

10X Wide Merkins

10X Diamond Merkins

10X Left Stagger Merkins

10X Right Stagger Merkins

One more round of Prisoner Cell Burpees and all of our arms were swollen and at 45 degree angles from our bodies.  This was pretty cool.  Kimchi hadn’t told me what he had planned at this point, but I was eager to find out.  I shouldn’t have been.

 

Kimchi takes over…and pulls a DECK OF CARDS out of his pocket.  All Mary…

Diamonds: Some kind of Russian twist with our legs in the air, Diamond Twists? IDK

Clubs: Marge Simpsons

Hearts: LBC’s

Spades: Windshield Wipers

We did this for a solid 25 minutes and got through most of the deck.  Good stuff. But awful.  Thanks Kimchi.
