Crazy Little Thing Called Merkins

Crazy Little Thing Called Merkins

***Note : Site Q Slingshot is not only posting on behalf of Queen but apologizing for being a week overdue in doing so***

18 PAX came in for the beast that we call Hydra.  I decided to stay around campus, but tried to make it fairly tough to minimize chatter.  Here is how it went:

Disclaimer – very standard

COP

SSH x 25

IW x 20

Low Slow Squat x 15

Slow Merkin x 10

Mosey to the Small Field

Merkin ladder 16, 15, 14, etc.

Mosey to the playground and partner up

Partner 1 runs full lap around school, not cut through on grass

Partner 2 does sets of 15 air squats, 10 LBCs, 5 pull ups

Repeat for 3 sets

Mosey to the benches around the tree

Partner 1 runs to the far parking lot entrance and back

Partner 2 does sets of 20 dips and 10 step ups each leg

Mosey back to launch

Moleskin:  The 16 Ladder merkins were pretty brutal for everyone except Proehl.  He literally lapped everybody by the end.  We can hate on him all we want for his age, but if most of us went back 20-30 years in time, he’d still be killing us……..I was worried that we might not have enough room on the pull up bars.  Oh, no need to worry there.  I think I saw maybe 5 or 6 of the PAX actually doing any of those.  The refusals were near an all time high.  You would have thought I called out burpees or something.  We had guys opting out like they were UNC football players and this was a bowl game…..The exact length of the lap around the school is still up for debate.  I had some guys telling me it was under 3/10ths of a mile and others were claiming it was .4.  After 136 merkins, it was long enough.

Thanks for Sling Shot and Jet Fuel for the opportunity to Q.
