Skunkworks – 12 Days of Christmas
16 of South Charlotte’s finest gathered for the annual 12 Days of Skunkmas
Warm-Up
Day 1: one dozen burpees
Day 2: two turkish getups (KB optional)
Day 3: three snatches each side
Day 4: four renegade rows each side
Day 5: five lunges each side
Day 6: six shoulder press each side
Day 7: seven goblet squats
Day 8: eight Louganis
Day 9: nine Russian twists each side

Ladder up adding each day to the previous set (12 exercises on day 12)
Christmas is about traditions, and the Skunkworks 12 Days of Christmas tradition is a fine one. Straight punch to the face that does not let up for 45 minutes. We modified the burpees to ladder down so that we could get each day in on time. Thanks to TR for starting this tradition several years ago, hoping he enjoys his new life as a skinny armed sprinter. Thanks to Brown for the Christmas tunes. Merry Christmas!

Good stuff Harley. Didn’t like the “slap to the face”/”coal in the stocking” gift of a dozen burpees vs 2 burpees on Day 11. What the heck?! Bah Humbug to that junk. Speaking of Bah Humbug, pretty sure I heard Bulldog singing British Christmas favorites across the circle. DJ Brown was adding his own unique Skunk flavor. Cobains to Gaffer, who I called Side Car about 5 times. Was about to call him Scrooge for his anti-social responses. Pretty sure I wrecked my shoulder during the Turkish get-ups, and pretty sure Wabbit (aka Arena) wrecked his drawers with a losing gamble in the craps game. Feliz Navidad to Area51.
