Skunkworks – Deck of Cards

Skunkworks – Deck of Cards

Did a bit of a warm up there in the parking lot. Warm up consisted of side-straddle-hops, mountain climbers, imperial walkers, and merkins. After the warm up we moseyed over to the north entrance and pair off. Played a bit of Catch Me If You Can, partner one did 10 merkins while partner two took both kettlebells for a ride. Flap jacked our way around the church until we got to the north lobby entrance. Waiting for us there was a deck of cards. The cards were used to give the number of reps for each called exercise. We did one handed swings, goblet squats, cleans, lunges, shoulder presses, good mornings, merkins on the bell, Romanian deadlifts, and snatches. I’m not saying I didn’t “tamper” with the deck of cards but it was weird that face cards seemed to be the only cards showing up. Even after Smokey gave the deck a good shuffle, the face cards continued to show up. Crazy, right! After each set, we ran a lap around something. Either the first island, or around the second island, or even around the church. We ran up the set of stairs and we also ran up to the road and back a couple of times. With time winding down, we headed back to the parking lot and finished up with some mary. Next time I’ll be sure to give those cards a better shuffle.

Announcement from Swiss Miss:

The 6/6 Skunkworks will be a “Potluck O’ Pain”

Everyone needs to bring their favorite workout gear, and just like a potluck dinner, we’ll all get to taste the pain baked up by each other.

It would be great if we had: Plates, ropes, sledge hammers (on tires), weight sleds, medicine balls, rucksacks, and any home-made gear that will bring plenty of downpainment.

If you don’t have said gear, no worries: bring your KB.
