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.
