Burpees, Bears, and “Gorillaz”

Burpees, Bears, and “Gorillaz”

• 13 men chose to not sleep in on MLK Day, and started the week right with a down-payment of burpees and other fun stuff.

The Thang:
After a quick and sort-of thorough disclaimer, we completed a long mosey around the school grounds and settled into COP at the parking lot below the launch site.

Moleskin:
Not sure what the PAX expected with the “duck” workout tweet courtesy of Poptart, but YHC was glad to see the regulars for my VQ at The Matrix. Not a lot of chatter this AM and the PAX was on it from the start. Tclaps to Paper Jam who rolled right in from his pre-run and didn’t miss a beat. Lots of hard work out there today by all with the usual crew of Header, Smokey, Joker and Chin Music up front. By far the crowd pleaser was the “Gorillaz” and Turkey Leg was even fast on those!. YHC heard the PAX yell something about being banning from YouTube to find such torture but alas that is not YHC’s creation. The M’s trainer gets credit for that abusive walk on all fours.
The People’s Burpee Chair was also a hit. Joker demonstrated some mad hops on his 5 burpees and the form police were definitely out for that called exercise. The PAX messed up and demonstrated that good form and high jumps is attainable in the gloom. No one disappointed there either. Some mumble chatter about the gassers and burpees at the end but YHC had to chew up the remaining few minutes without working any more shoulders into the mix. Welcome to FNG Bookie. Great job out there today and don’t let the Gorillaz, or any Draft Kings action keep you from posting again. Thanks to Poptart and Squid for the opportunity. Thanks to Squid for the solid take-out. Thanks to the entire PAX for pushing YHC this AM.
