Red Pill

What can I say? It was just another day where a few dudes emerge from the Gloom to take the #redpill and make themselves a little better. Here’s more or less what transpired.

THE THANG
Mosey down to parking lot for warmup
10 x SSH
10 x Imperial Walker
10 x Merkins

Partner up and run to one end of the parking lot
Partner 1 runs, partner 2 does exercise

Round 1 – 100 cumulative Burpees + 2 laps partner carry + Mary
Round 2 – 100 cumulative Monkey Humpers + 20 Might Merkins at each switch + Mary
Round 3 – 200 cumulative Jump Squats + Mary
Round 3 – 200 cumulative Mountain Climbers + Mary

A bunch of sprints and leg exercises
15 Burpees to close it out

YE OLDE MOLESKINE
1. Poptart, ever the #oldworriedgrandmother that he is, leaned down to YHC at 5:30.01 to make sure that I was still planning on leading because my tardiness had him worried.

2. So many Larrybirds today. It was ridiculous. Form LB always goes to Lobstah. Sprint LB to Argonaut. Running LB to Turkey Leg. All around athlete LB goes to Rhapsody (D1 Decathlete). Guy who’s ridiculously athletic but not quite as athletic as Rhapsody LB goes to Orange Whip. Keeping up the Six LB goes to Prohibition. Best prayers LB goes to Da Squid.

3. Honeymoon did not find it humorous that YHC thought his name was Elf Honeymoon. YHC, on the other hand, found it to be quite humorous.

4. I wish I could have recorded the collective groan let out by the PAX when I called 100 burpees. Truth be told, I was going to call 200 but made a last second decision to chop it in half. Pretty sure there would have been a mutiny had I followed through with the original plan.

Nice lead Mcgee ! Pretty sure either Orange Whip or Rhapsody deserve the sprint LB. I emptied the tank on just one and got lucky. Those guys were Mach 3+ on every sprint.

Poptart was just eager to start the burpees, can’t fault him for that.

Very nice McGee. Glad you brought some fast start Metro action to the South Side. Regarding athletic ability, I’ve been trying to catch Rhapsody for 15 years now (literally) when we used to just call him Daniel. His collapsed lung only got me a few yards closer. One more lung and I’ve got him.
