Is it 7, 8 or 15?

12 men posted in the heat and humidity for good old-fashioned beat down at Joust. YHC decided to mix it up a bit with counts or reps of 7, 8 and 15. The math was a little confusing at first, but the PAX quickly figured it out.

Warm up:
Mosey around upper lot, stop for 15 Derkins on the hand rails. Off to the field for the main event:

COP:
Squats x15
Mountain Climbers x15
IW x15
SSH x15

The Thang:
Starfish / Four Corners
Round 1:
Middle: Burpees x8
Corners: Wide-Arm Merkins x8, Heels-to-Heaven x8, Squats x8, LBCs x8
Plank for the 6

Round 2:
Middle: Burpees x7
Corners: Low-Slow Squats x7, Flutters x7, Diamond Merkins x7, Monkey Humpers x7
Plank for the 6

PAX recovery run around the track with 8 Merkins at each corner

Grandma 7s – Pull-ups at the top, Big boy sit-ups at the bottom
Plank for the 6

To the goal line for some combo work:
Lunges for 50 yards – sprint the remaining 50
Gorillas for 40 yards – sprint the remaining 60
Bear Crawl for 30 yards – sprint the remaining 70
Broad Jumps for 20 yards – sprint the remaining 80
Crab Walk for 10 yards – sprint the remaining 90
100 yard gasser

Mosey back to the COT, stopping for 15 more Derkins on the handrail just for good measure.

Moleskin:
YHC didn’t know what to expect for numbers but a solid showing of 12 during a typical vacation week. The PAX got right to work and shared lots of mumble-chatter about the burpees being called right out of the gate. Even more crowd pleasing was the second round, although the rep count had been reduced by 1. By this point the heat and humidity felt like it had tripled, along with the heavy breathing… great time for a recovery lap. And what Joust event is complete without Grandma? We had to show some respect to her and the pull-up / sit-up 7s were no joke. The final sprint combos were very well-received, especially the Gorillas. A “must see” exercise that looked much better on paper for 40 yards than in person. I think some of the PAX asked for this to become a permanent fixture at Joust?

Strong work by all. Square Root and Lobstah Roll are absolute machines. Uncle Leo, Chin Music and Yeti still have silly strides on the sprints. Gummy is a fresh off a 2 week vacation and didn’t miss a beat. Hammer and Sledge (2.0) were a dynamic duo. Stone Cold, Buttermaker and Waterfoot were dragging YHC around all morning. It is always an honor to lead this fine group of men. Thanks to Header for the opportunity. Thanks to Chin Music for taking us out.
