12 Days of Skunkworks – lives on

12 Days of Skunkworks – lives on

We had 21 PAX show up with bells on!  I understand this was the 4th Annual 12 Days of Christmas workout at Skunkworks.  I hope to see the tradition continue!

The Warmup:

Since we had a lot of work to get through and I was told it couldn’t be done in 45 minutes, you had 2 options for the warmup:

1. Come warmed up, or meet Fletch for a little 5am run.
2. Carry your bells to the front of the school and warmup along the way.

The Thang: For any of you that were here for last year’s when Chanel Q’d, this one looked the same.  I thought I would make some changes to improve on it, but then realized it was perfect for what I wanted to bring this am.  Days are cumulative (Day 1; Day 2,1; Day 3,2,1, etc.)

• Day 1 – 1 Dozen Burpees
• Day 2 – 2 Turkish Get Ups (1 ea side)
• Day 3 – 3 snatches (ea side)
• Day 4 – 4 Renegade Rows (ea side)
• Day 5 – 5 Lunges w/ KB (ea side)
• Day 6 – 6 Shoulder Press (ea side)
• Day 7 – 7 Clean & Squat
• Day 8 – Louganis
• Day 9 – Russian Twists (9 ea side)
• Day 10 – 1 Handed Swings (ea side)
• Day 11 – Single Leg RDL (ea side)
• Day 12 – 12 Two Handed Clean & Press

We almost finished!  Got started on Day 12, and finished at the Twists when our time was up.

Moleskin:

• Grateful for this beautiful morning and the men who came
• It’s Bulldog’s 40th Birthday today, give him a shout out.   Even though he couldn’t join us this morning (which is how I got the Q, thanks!), I assured him we would get 40 burpees in.  Well we got in 136 burpees, so we overshot by a bit.
• Thanks to Harley for giving me the chance to lead.
• Thanks to Chanel (who also missed it) for the solid workout plan.
• We almost made it all the way through, so for those of us that like to finish what we start, you still got to complete: 8 Louganis, 7 Clean & squats, 6 shoulder presses, 5 lunges, 4 renegade rows, 3 snatches, 2 Turkish getups, and 1 dozen burpees, by the end of the day!
• Tiger Rag gifted us with his presence after a long absence, to do his own workout.
• I observed lots of modifications for the Turkish getups, which is cool, nice job Fletch for sticking with me on these.   Never easy.
• It was great to meet Pickle who is back on break from college (I remember those days!)
• I tried to make this workout a little harder with a never ending playlist of versions of the 12 Days of Christmas.  I may have just annoyed myself with this one.
• I’m already sore from this, can’t wait to see how I feel tomorrow.
• Thanks to Freedom for taking us out.
