Ciabatta be KIDDING Me: Holiday Jukebox Edition 2.0

Deck The Maul with bros and dolly, fa la la la la, la la la la.

I see Squid but where’s Big Papi, fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our mud gear apparel, fa la la la, la la la, la la la.

What’s that there? It’s Frehley’s towel, fa la la la la, la la la la.

That’s more than enough of that. 19 (including 2 FNG’s) gathered for a holiday themed ciabatta workout the likes of which haven’t been seen since… last time YHC did this in 2015.  It was cold.

For the uninitiated, Ciabatta refers to Tabata, a form of high-intensity interval training developed by a Japanese scientist. Each exercise is performed for 8 cycles of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest.  Doing 8 different exercises / rounds this way is a full F3 Ciabatta cycle. Normally a timer or tabata app is used to mark time, but YHC used 20 second clips of holiday songs formed into an iTunes playlist and blasted through a car stereo.

Mosey to open space for COP:

  • SSH x 20 IC
  • Windmill x 10 IC
  • IW x 20 IC
  • Mountain climbers x 20 IC

Mosey to wall area between Firebirds and Cantina 1511 for the main event.

Music Notes

  • Kudos to Champagne for being the only PAX to make it to both the original Holiday Jukebox Edition in 2015 and version 2.0.  The man loves Christmas (or hates running).
  • T-claps to Thin Mint for making it out to 80’s Jukebox Edition last month and Holiday 2.0.  Some would say that is too much of a mediocre thing.
  • Voodoo’s voice was silky smooth while hitting the high notes during ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham!
  • Congratulations to Bunker for posting at his first bootcamp ever.  That was your first, right Bunker?
  • Goonie did a great job delivering some stand-up material during the awkward pauses when my iPhone would freeze up.  I know he’s been refining his set for a while and I think it’s finally ready for prime time.
  • Welcome Golden (John Schauer) and Couch (Jamie Rowe)! Just so you know, every workout has produciton value that is at least this high.  #KeepPosting
  • Thanks to the PAX for helping Q during Mary, Plankorama and Burpeerama
  • Thanks to Squid for taking us out
  • Thanks to Poptart for being Poptarded and for driving Squid

Great work as always Tuck. Nice these Christmas tradition workouts have backblasts (unlike Dolphin’s 12 Days of Christmas which should now be retired)!

What the hell does poptarted mean? I am sure that is an insult somehow. Or possibly a compliment for being so OSUM?
