On Turning 30 and Batman

AO: westeros
Q: Siri , Salpal
PAX: DintyMoore, Siri, Crawlspace, Salpal, Pep, Red Skull, Black Lung, Vector, Right Said, Tim the Toolman, Grape
FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
CONDITIONS: WET and cold

WARMUP: everyone took a card to randomly assign roles for the workout. RedSkull was Batman, Right Said was Joker, and the rest of us were citizens of Gotham initially loyal to Batman. SalPal led us through some semi-wet warmups.

THE THANG: burpees and pull ups, pull ups and burpees, courtesy of SalPal. Training the PAX for the canonical 1,000 lbs that Batman was able to lift. Then we hustled off to the tennis courts where Siri took over.

Joker do side straddle hops and call different exercises for team Batman to do, and call cadence. ~5 minutes. Intent is for joker to play games with his enemy. Anyone who needs to bow out can join team joker and do side straddle hops.

Freeze tag for Joker to pick off members of Batman’s crew. Joker has 30 seconds to tag as many people as possible. Whoever he tags joins his team and helps him tag others.
Rest of the workout is a competition between team Batman and team joker.

Relay race: bear crawl up the steps, crawl bear back down, one pax at a time. Rest of the PAX do merkins while they wait. Winning team gains one of the other team’s members.

Relay race across the field. Each person sprint down and back then tag the next person. PAX do abs while they wait. Everyone sprints 2 times.

Relay race at the playground. Each person does 30 merkins while his team does dips. Everyone goes twice.

At this point the teams were pretty evenly split between Batman and Joker.
2-minute Ring of Fire to close out.

Bond, James Bond

Q: Vector
PAX: Focker, Go Fish, Grape, princessaurora, Pep, t-cell, Zelenskyy, Formica, Haggis, Harbaugh, Swiffer, Tacklebox
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
In celebration of James Bond Day (October 5th – who knew? Dr. No, the first Bond film was released in 1962 on that day) and because I thought it’d make a cool playlist, we put on our big boy spy shoes to celebrate 007.

CONDITIONS: Shaken, not stirred

PLAYLIST: Bond themes:
James Bond Theme – John Barry
Live and Let Die – Paul McCartney & Wings
The World is Not Enough – Garbage
Goldfinger – Shirley Bassey
The Living Daylights – a-ha
Nobody Does it Better – Carly Simon
Skyfall – Adele
A View to a Kill – Duran Duran
Goldeneye – Tina Turner
Die Another Day – Madonna
Another Way to Day – Jack White & Alicia Keys

WARMUP: SSH, LBAC, Seal Claps, Overhead Presses, Overhead Claps, RLBCs, Good Mornings, and Willy Mays Hayes to get prepped.

THE THANG:
“007s” – To help those PAX on their Octoburpee Challenge, 10 burpee buy-in and the 7s x 3 rounds: each with burpees, of course (and some grumbling about why @Blacklung wasn’t there), with jump squats, Lt Dans, and WWIs as the other paired exercise. In between, a 10 count and a PAX note of their favorite Bond film . . . Moonraker? Hmm . . . sure.

“SPY”s to honor the PAX member most suave like Bond, T-cell, we did his favorite exercises renamed to fit the theme: Super DIPs, Perfect Incline Merkins, Your Favorite Decline Merkins . . .

MARY: Rounds of exercises starting with Alabama Prom Dates, because Bond has, ahem, other skills too . . .
And the astute among us (@GoFish) counted we were up to 93 burpees, so 7 more to get us to 100.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1) Octoburpee continues — grumbling as today’s workout “only benefitted @Focker” as he’s the only one participating, but didn’t we all benefit?
2) Game night at @Firefox’s house which already happened and was epic
3) BBQ at Tim’s with @Chunk’s brisket

Honor to lead you all! SYITG
