Squat Trumps & Pussycat Carols

Squat Trumps & Pussycat Carols

We had 6 men post for my version of the 12 days of Christmas.  It wasn’t the usual bunch as some had to run a race against a crew of senior citizens (Joker) and others were out of town.  None the less, I brought my cardboard cut out with the 12 days of Christmas scribbled out and here is what went down.

We moseyed around the parking lot to the back lot for some warm up exercises.

20xIW

Mosey across the soccer field to the rock pile and grab a lifting rock.  We moseyed back to the parking lot in front of playground for the main event.

Moleskin:

I got a lot of grief for my version of the 12 days of Christmas because according to Alf you aren’t suppose to do more exercises than the number of the day, but I figured 1 curl with a rock was weak.  So, we just did 20 of each.  Also, my English ain’t so good as evidenced by my slip of using the word trump instead of jump, and duplicating an exercise by accident.  I had to explain what I meant.  I think Alf and Cold Cuts were the ones that noticed it since they got to the called exercise first.  However, Cold Cuts started to slow down when he used a manly rock, instead of the pebble he started with.  I also wanted to bring some excitement to the workout with some Christmas tunes, including everyone’s favorite, Silent Nights by the Jingle Cats.  I think Cold Cuts and Huggie Bear peed their pants they laughed so hard.  Strong effort by everyone involved.  Fautline hates me for all the rock exercises, Squid still has the best form, and Huggie Bear looked like he just got out of the shower when we finished.  Noone got through all 12 days, but we did all get at least 10 rock burpees at the end.  Thanks for letting me lead and the takeout Squid.
