Circle Derkins

Circle Derkins

9 of South Charlotte’s finest got a jump on some V-day activities and posted at Saturday’s meanest workout for a St. Valentine’s Day massacre. Boombox in tow with love song requests loaded and we were off. Here’s what you missed:

“The Circle Derkin”

Circle up with your feet on shoulders of pax to your left- create a ring. Derkins in civilian cadence x10. On paper, this looked hard, and awesome. In reality, the logistics of forming a ring with 9 men was challenging – when the majority of the DZ regulars (and seemingly most of A51) opted to fartsack and save a little energy for Valentine’s evening festivities…but I digress. The circle derk turned in to more of a line derkins. x10 was no joke depending on whose hooves were planted on yer shoulders.

Mosey lap around the school.

Partner work:

On small, steep hill on Carswell. Partner up for some and over the hill and back.

• Round 1 partner carries, flapjack
• Round 2 wheelbarrow, flapjack
• Round 3 upside down wheelbarrow [Omaha to Jameis Winston], flapjack

Handoff to Prohibition

Mosey to main field and partner up.  Partner 1 grabs a mosey-friendly yet manly rock stone.

Prohibition’s Cupid Shuffle (Trademark):

Lap 1 – catch me if you can. P1 runs with rock stone, while P2 does diamond merkins x10. Flapjack until getting back to starting point.

Lap 2 – Partner carry around track. Switch as needed, but 10 hand slap merkins at each switch.

Lap 3 – CMIYC again

Over/ Under Tunnel of Love:

Line up in straight line arms width apart and get into plank position.

• Perform over unders for 3 rounds or about half the length of the field

Mosey back to rock stone pile and everyone grabs a rock stone. On outside of track (the non plush normal grassy area that doesn’t get the love) everyone lines up side by side with stones.

-Throw your rock stone as far as you can

-Mosey to rock stone and perform 2 burpees

-Repeat for 4,6,8,10 burpees

-Turn around and go back 8,6,4,2 burpees

• Flutter x30 IC (5 slow flutters in middle)
• Dolly x20 IC

St. Valentine’s Moleskinny

– The love jamz were rockin’ all hour long. Pro keenly ignored the eye rolls, and usual complaints on his  taste in music from Radar, but overall excellent playlist!

– Welcome Pitino to the far south as he usually stays further north in the Metro, but he owed Prohibition a showing.

– What seemed as endless and excessive amounts of man-touching with all of the partner carries, truly brought us closer…literally. Going to have to put the clothes in extremely hot water tonight. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

– Purple Haze looked like a tiny backpack when on Mighty Mite’s back.  Not sure MM even knew he was carrying him. (And you thought you got out of a small-person joke…)

-Spackler now apparently takes his business clients to The Rose for lunch. #sealthedeal #closer

-Future workout Q’s- make a special weinke for Spack and Radar. They’ll refusenik whatever you have planned.

-Upside down wheelbarrows have a place; perhaps in the bedroom, just not at DZ

-Lots of mumblechatter about if workout ideas had come from the Kama Sutra. #thankmelater

– Site Qs were hoping for an even number today. Odd numbers made for a makeshift 3-some and/or a lonely V-day for one of the pax all morning.

– Great group today. Made us all very appreciative of our significant others.

Announcements:

Day Zero AO cleanup day 2/28. 0830 after the workout. Bring your own gloves, rakes, etc. Trash bags, coffee, and Prohibition’s playlist will be provided.
