March Madness in February at the Matrix

On a balmy, spring like, February morning, 15 PAX were provided a lesson in strength, form, and ACC basketball royalty as the QIC paid tribute to UNC Tar Heel great Coach Dean Smith.

The PAX were treated to 4 pain stations. (similar to the pain of losses inflicted upon opponents by Coach Smith’s famous 4 Corners Offense) At each station the PAX performed the called exercises on Q count with the number of reps signifying one of Dean’s coaching accomplishments.

THE THANG:

Warm Up: In cadence: SSH, Mountain Climber, IW, Peter Parker, Hillbilly. Then a set of merkins on your own. (17x) Representing the 17 ACC Regular Season Championships earned by the Dean.

1st Station: Mosey to the rock pile and grab a lifting rock for curls, shoulder presses, triceps press, and squats. 3 sets @ 13x for the 13 ACC Tournament Championships won by the Tar Heels during Dean’s tenure.

2nd Station: Mosey to the main play ground area for derkins, carolina dry docks, split leg squats, and diamonds. 3 sets @ 11x as Dean made 11 trips to the Final Four with his beloved Tar Heels.

3rd Station: Mosey to the tree stumps for step ups, dips, pistol squats, and crucibles. 3 sets @ 9x to denote the 9 times Dean Smith was named the ACC Coach of the year.

4th Station: Mosey to the basketball court area for Mary. A chosen PAX would call out 2 different exercises, included, Tar Heels to heaven, Rosalita, LBCs, Freddy Mercury,Flutter, and Russian Twists, to signify the 2 National Championships earned by Dean Smith’s teams.

Thanks to Squid for taking us out, Alf and the rest of the crew at the Matrix for allowing me to lead this morning. GO HEELS!!!!

I am all in for a themed workout, but you boys love your ACC (yawn). Regardless of all of the facts & figures, this workout had all of the meat and potato’s I was looking for this AM.

Well done Paper Jam’

And good luck to Turkey Leg. I hear you are getting a brace for you knee, sounds like that should solve the problem. Yep, forget all the other advise the doctors give you about just taking time off! Bet you stay at Holiday Inn…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc2t6s0XeNk
