You Got To Know When To Hold Em – Know When To Fold Em

You Got To Know When To Hold Em – Know When To Fold Em

11 PAX made it out for Friday’s Fight Club for some unorthodox training.  This Q decided to have a little fun with a deck of cards, making sure each PAX earned their weekend beers. 5:30am bell rang, disclaimers given and we were off and running.

1 lap around the school to get the heart rate up and we circled up for a game of suicide cards.

The Thang

1 Deck of cards – Each suite a different exercise, corresponding number for reps

• Hearts = Merckan’s = 84 total
• Spades = Side Straddle Steps = 84 total
• Diamonds = Squats = 84 total
• Clubs = LBC = 84 total
• ACE = Burpees = 44 total

1/2 Deck complete – PAX complaining, time to mosey to the white boxes for some sparring

• (6) 2:00min Rounds – 30sec breaks
• Get knocked out of the box complete 5 merckan’s

PAX headed back to the front for the remainder of the deck of cards

Finished off with a little rope and foot training, followed by some Chippy abs

All in all, when you hear the PAX huffing and puffing you know you kicked their asses.  A few highlights  to note along the way:

• Luggie, caught wind of the card game and showed up 20mins late
• Tagalong, came with his usual A game and had impeccable form
• Shrinkwrap, must of like the game ‘King of the Mountain’ growing up as his bullish pushing out of the box was an annoyance – too bad we weren’t able to punch higher then the shoulders
• Icing and P. Pending, have some weird bromance that I’m uncertain of
• Chippy, once again pounded the soul out of everyone
• Kirby, I thin this guys been hurt every since he tripped the first outing
• Marky Mark, had a strong showing for a guy who comes out once a month
• Carmen San Diego, not sure exactly where he was the whole time, but I guess the name fits well

Shout out to a new FNG Scott Morales (Pitch Perfect).  He kept right up wit the group the whole time.  He’s an out of towner, but talk of starting F3 up North is always good.  The more guys we get the more we expand!

Appreciate everyone’s support for this Q who will continually bring some new and exciting workouts to the group each time.

Announcements:

• Golf outing Oct 23rd
• Santos – Sept 30th
• Pitch Perfect – playing solo in Stone Crest, P. Pending will be the only one showing up!
