Skunkworks – 20 Minutes of Silence

Skunkworks – 20 Minutes of Silence

Below is the better late than never Skunkworks post from Yeti. It should be noted that two guys left at some point during the workout. Tough to keep up with the sub 30 year-old leader.

21 gathered together at Skunkworks this past Tuesday for a humid and muggy workout.

WARM UP:

Jog to the stop sign and back

20 SSH

20 IW

15 merkins

20 swings oyo

THANG:

Find a partner. Workout is given and the two work together to reach the total. While one is working towards the total, the other has a bodyweight workout to do.

100 swings – Freddy Mercury

100 goblet squats – windmills

80 gunslingers – flutter

80 lunges – merkins

60 snatches – heels to heaven

60 tricep extensions – nipplers

40 clean and press – burpees

40 two-bell lunge – dry docks

Moseyed to the track for a quick finish to the workout

Partner 1: Farmers carry, stop every 10 steps for double swings

Partner 2: Run a lap until you catch your partner, flapjack

SKIN:

Eager to not royally screw up my first Q at Skunkworks, I think it’s safe to call myself over-prepared. I set three alarms in the morning to make sure I woke up, had all my clothes laid out so I wouldn’t waste any time getting ready, I had my workout plan typed into my phone, I quickly sprinted to the car, peeled out of the neighborhood and then…

Sat in the parking lot for a solid 20 minutes waiting for people to show up.

I felt like I’d been stood up for a date. But not just by one person. By 20 people. And all dudes. It was a new experience.

I saw a lone tumbleweed and Harley run by at one point. Then Swiss Miss. Then more silence.

*Sigh*

The good news is that eventually guys did show up. Turns out arriving early to F3 doesn’t mean much unless you’re going for a run. Which I had no intention of doing. Lesson learned.

Other lessons I learned:

– I’ll need to remember to go easy on my side straddle hops. They did Brown in pretty early.

– Word to the wise, don’t interrupt Stone Cold when he’s telling a story and ask him to do a 10-count. He gets testy.

– Donkey Kong makes a great stopwatch. I had every intention of doing a lot more laps around the track as I’d lost track of time. You all owe DK a thank you.

Nice work to all! Thanks for the chance to Q
