14 PAX (plus 1 runner) took the DRP and posted at Titan for a Smashing Pumpkins-inspired beatdown delivered by YHC.
PAX: Black Lung, Blue Mule, Crablegs, Crawlspace, DFrost, Dry Rub, Hambone, Michelin Man (runner), Porcelain, Right Said, Salpal, Siri, Tim The Toolman, Wood Rider
QIC: Cunning Linguist
Gloom Factor: Low to medium, depending on how you feel about the cold.
INTRO:
YHC arrived to Titan just in time to deliver the 1MW. At 0530, YHC gave a slightly verbose Disclaimer, and then we did a Mosey around the loop in front of the Parthenon for WOR.
WOR:
15 x SSH
10 x LBAC
10 x rLBAC
12 x WMH
15 x SnL Squats
YHC then led the PAX to the halfway point of the loop and provided details about THANG 1 — a Smashing Pumpkins-themed workout, given that we are past Halloween, and it is fair game to smash all of the remaining pumpkins that we see in our neighborhoods, right?!
Ahem.
According to Porcelain, it’s against the law to smash pumpkins, so please DO NOT DO THAT.
Anywho…
We performed the following in letter pairs (first two were the SM, then the AS, then the HI, then the NG — same process for the word ‘Pumpkins’), running half a lap in between each pair of letters.
THANG 1:
The SMASHING PUMPKINS Routine
All OYO
20 x Squats
20 x Merkins
20 x Air Press
20 x Squat Jumps
20 x Hillbillies
20 x Imperial Walkers
20 x Nerkins (Knuckle Merkins)
20 x Gorilla Hummers
20 x Pickle Pounders
20 x Ups (V-Ups)
20 x Merkins
20 x Press (Air Press)
20 x Kicks (Flutter Kicks)
20 x Iron Mike
20 x Nerkins
20 x Squats
Next, YHC led the PAX to the other side of the Parthenon for THANG 2
THANG 2:
DIDs and Step-Ups
15 x Dips
10 x Incline Merkins
5 x Decline Merkins
50 Step-Ups (25 per leg)
The PAX appeared to be getting stronger here. It’s bizarre. It must have something to do with the power that is deep within the Parthenon. Noticing this, YHC felt obliged to deliver a 3rd THANG.
THANG 3:
Bear Crawls/SSH/Lunges/SSH
PAX partner up and Partner 1 performs Bear Crawls along pathway to street while Partner 2 does SSH, then upon Partner 1 completion, they perform SSH while Partner 2 Bear Crawls to the street.
Reverse was Lunges and SSH.
With approx. 7 minutes left, we ran through the Parthenon to the other side for MARY.
MARY:
Dealers Choice, Clockwise.
15 x Happy Crunchy Frogs
50 x Flutter Kicks (Black Lung FOR THE WIN!)
25 x WWIIs
20 x Alabama Prom Dates
