Face Your Demons

Face Your Demons

YHC hates burpees. It is not an exercise designed for tall, long-legged people. #JustAskChelms No better way to face your demons than to include them (100 of them) in your Q. 14 PAX did not stay up to date on twitter (where they were forewarned) and posted at #Anvil. Disclaimer given…off we went.

Warm-O-Rama:

* get after it early with 10 burpees OYO
* Abe Vigodas x10 (old man style windmills. welcomed after burpees)
* Mountain Climbers x 20
* Sun Gods (forward arm circles) x 20
* God Suns (reverse) x 20
* Cotton Pickers x 10 (with a clap…makes all the difference)
* Alternating Shoulder Tap x 20
* Monkey Humpers x 20

Thang Part 1

Partner up; looks matter. Run to opposite ends of parking lot. 5 burpees. Meet in middle for 10 hand slap merkins. Repeato for total of 5 rounds, which brings total up to 35 burpees, including 10 during warm-o-rama.

Thang Part 2

The “alley loop” is about 0.20 miles. Plan was to run 5 laps (1 mile), with burpees at each end (ever 0.10 mile). Start with 10, ladder down to 1. That’s 55 for this part, bringing our total to 90. Mary while everyone finishes up what turned out to a be the Mile of Pain.

Thang Part 3

Rack & Stack Suicides. Each time you hit the line (going and coming), 10 reps of called exercise. Line 1 = Mountain Climbers (70 total). Line 2 = Squats (50 total). Line 3 = Plank Jacks (30 total). The ever-illusive Line 4 = burpees (10 total). Burpee Count now at 100. You’re welcome, McGee.

Thang Part 4

10 curl/press/skull crusher combo with rock. Mosey with rock (overhead if possible) a short distance and back. 10 more curl/press/skull combos. 15 squats.

Finished!

NMM:

Great work today by all. The guys that are in the “not quite ready to run a marathon” club were there and did not shy away from the mileage. The runners enjoyed striding it out some though they were held back with burpee interruption.

Q Fail on not having 4 lines for suicides. There are too many lots at Calvary. Going without spectacles, YHC gets us off course. We improvised, as all good PAX would do.

Champagne, fresh off the slopes, dismayed with number of burpees. Next round (or 2) is on YHC.

Good to see Dolphin, Hannibal, and Bus Boy at Anvil. My man, Snuka, is a beast for a Respect. Take what he is taking. #GNCVitamins
