Not-so-Super-21 at #Mayhem

Thanks to a late substitution, the PAX had to put up with a Q from YHC instead of the always exciting @Splash. The nice thing about volunteering to substitute Q is expectations are low, and YHC did not disappoint…

So, 11 brave PAX came out on a cool (but not cold) morning to endure toxic diesel fumes, out of control buses, and lots merkins and WWII sit-ups.

Mosey to back of school

Warm-o-rama:
x15 IC of 5 or so standard warmup exercises – SSH, IST/IW, Toy Soldier, Monkey-Humpers, Copperhead Squats, Pickle Pounders, etc.

Short mosey to side of school

Not-so-Super-21
As many reps as a Super-21, but done a little differently to keep the timing more consistent.
Ladder 1: 1-21 Merkins
Ladder 2: 21-1 WWII sit-ups
After merkin rep 7/WWII rep 15, make 1 lap around the loop (0.25mi)
After merkin rep 14/WWII rep 8, make 2 laps around the loop
After last WWII rep (merkin rep 21/WWII rep 1), make 3 laps around the loop

Mosey back to start

And we are out of time…

Workout Totals: 231 merkins, 231 WWII sit-ups, ~2mi, 0 Burpees

YHC took us out

Announcements & NMM:

  • F3/FIA holiday party Dec 16th @ Brookberry Farm clubhouse; check Twitter for details
  • Lots of MC during Warm-o-rama, but things quieted down quickly during the “Super-21”
  • Flipping the reps on the “Super-21” achieved the goal of evening out the timing, but front-loaded the WWII’s and back-loaded the merkins; the rep counts as stated in the exercise lexicon probably saves the arms/abs more. But no matter, I won’t be calling that one again for a long time
  • Rumor was there was supposed to be a changing of the site-Q this morning, but that didn’t happen for various reasons…
  • Thanks, @Splash, for the keys!
  • Great work, everyone!

Aye!

    Splash’s pre-blast built the suspense as to whether or not YHC’s ankle was sufficiently healed to Q this morning’s workout. 10 PAX showed up to see and, sure enough, I was there and ready to go. The workout was approximately as follows: Warm-o-Rama: SSH, IST, Sun Gods forward/reverse, Whirly with a Clap, Merkins and, by…

  1. Way to step up and lead Fingers. There has never been a more quiet group of Pax as we suffered through a most miserable beatdown. Everyone got what they paid for.
