  • The Morning before the Nightmare before Christmas

    18 strong on the Mandeville Lakefront this morning, our warmup circle of pain expanding as the sun rose with long lost veteran EiEi finding his way out of the fartsack and back to the PAX just in time for the standard disclaimer.

    Off to the races with a warmup of Seal Jacks, Imperial Walker Squats, Toe Touches, Windmills, and Side Straddle Hops, all 20x IC.

    Mosey towards the Harbor for the next COP:  T Merkins, Jane Fondas, Wife Pleasers, Merkin Circle, Nolan Ryans, and Flutter Kicks. All IC with various rep counts.

    Mosey again towards the Harbor with another COP stop for front to back lunges, monkey humpers, and copperhead squats.  Again IC with various rep counts.

    Then all the way to the Harbor playground.  YHC divided the PAX into six teams of three for some rarajipari variations around the playground.  Good times and all in line with YHC’s diabolical plan to run the PAX as much as possible this morning to train surreptitiously for the Krazy Ivan without wearing them out for tomorrow afternoon’s Nightmare Before Christmas beat down.

    Indian Run back to the shovel flag for our countorama, nameorama and a prayer.

    Welcome FNGs Big Ugly, Bolt and Hawk!

    Thanks for letting me lead guys.  YHC always appreciate you playing along with my hare brained ideas.

    The Thang – This is about where Grundy pointed out that “This looks familiar”, as Q obviously incorporated some P90X exercises into the routine.

    10 x Spiderman Merkins

    10 x Dive Bombers

    2 x Plank Compass w/ Merkin

    —Bear crawl back to the field—

    10 x Depth Charges

    10 x Bushwacker Burpees

    20 x Mother Superiors – slightly intensified version of Sister Mary Katherines…too intense for YHC who took an obvious extended break half way through

    —Mosey—

    11s: Freak Nasties and Donkey Kicks with Carioca in between

    Clarence Carter Squat Hops – 2 lines of Pax do 3 squat hops to the right, 3 to the left, 1 forward, 1 backward, 180 deg around. Rinse and Repeat.  Looks like Strokin…we even squeezed in some “Sassified” Wife Pleasers as Bushwacker serenaded with the lyrics.

    Mosey to shovel flag for Counterama, Nameorama, and many thanks to Barely Legal for praying us out.
