Yosef’s Birthday Beatdown

QIC: Yosef

Pax: Grohl, Nobel Virus, Iditarod, Mr. Roboto, Aristotle, Papa Juan

WoR: Warm up lap x2. Some politicians and side shuffles mixed in

Good mornings, Daisy Pickers, Paciao’s IC x10

The Thang: YHC wanted to do something to prove that despite being the last of the 80’s babies, he isn’t a Millennial.

The (anti) Millennial:

Completed as a team, pax did 100 reps each of a called exercise, then ran a 100m lap around the courthouse. There were 10 cycles, which got us to the number. Teamwork mattered: The first nine cycles ended when the FIRST person got to 100, which kept the pax together. The last cycle was done together and roating the Q through the 100 burpees. The cycles: 1) SSH; 2) Lunges; 3) Merkins; 4) LBCs; 5) Mtn. Climbers; 6) Flutters; 7) Arm Raises; 8) Squats; 9) Bicycles 10) Burpees

Due to time limitations, we came 50 burpees short of the goal, to be completed Thurs AM.

THANG:

PAX begin Indian Run, with a catch. Man in the back must dribble the ball to the front of the line before passing it back.

Toured Fort Negley, stopping to appreciate history, and by admiring history, I mean at every sign or plaque or monument the PAX stopped running.

Commence 10xPushups, 10xSquats, continue to next sign/monument. Did about 15-20 signs, exercises switching between all types of merkins and squats with some abs thrown in. Lots of mumble chatter when burpees were chosen by the Q. One sign was reached via lunges.

At the top of the hill, PAX circle up in high plank. The soccer ball is passed between the circle members, with a merkin after passing the ball. Penalty for missing a pass is bear crawling after it. PAL and BV missed it. Once.

Bear crawled down a wooden sidewalk to the triangles of death. And by triangles of death I mean:

Triangle 1: Bear crawl around

Triangle 2: Crab crawl around, stopping for 10xMerkins 10xSquats at sign.

Triangle 3: Reverse crab crawl around, stopping for 10xMerkins, 10x Squats at sign.

Indian run to to hill near the gate.

Hillevens:

Donkey kicks at bottom, Lieutenant Dans at top.

Must get to the top of the hill in reverse 3 times (it was a big hill).

Shoutout to BV for finishing the whole set before time.

Returned to parking lot for Ball of Man.

First Friday Lunch at Cookery next week.
