1,000 Burpees + Other Stuff

After a week of OYO workouts, many of us were yearning to get back together in the gloom. Social Distancing is preventing that currently, so we decided to give Zoom a try.

YHC posted at our normal AO and found both Honker and Norm there for some foreplay. 4 others joined the Zoom at 0530 giving us 8, including Diapers who was a virtual guest visiting from the Lake Mayer AO. Welcome to Pooler Diapers!

Conditions were muggy, the Steve said it was 66 deg F with only 84% humidity, but it felt worse.

Zoom-a-zoom-a-zoom and a Boom Boom

CoP

Nothing in cadence since the lag on Zoom would make that impossible.

SSH * 20 (4 count)

Plank during disclaimer

Chinooks * 10 each way

The Thang

Objective: Complete 1,000 burpees as a group. With 8 PAX, that works out to 125 per PAX. Split over 10 sets is 13 burpees per set for the first 5 and 12 burpees per set for the second 5.

Also, the flyover rule was in effect, and those burpees don’t count towards the 1,000.

Burpee Set 1: 13 per PAX * 8 PAX = 104 burpees total

Merkins * 20
Wide Merkins * 15
Power Merkins * 10
Staggered Merkins * 5 per side

Burpee Set 2: Another 104, 208 total

Jump squats * 20
Lunges * 20 total, 10/leg
Monkey Humpers * 20

Burpee Set 3: Another 104, 312 total

American Hammer * 20/side
Crunchy Frog * 20

Freddie Mercury’s * 20 4 countS

Flyover about this time: 5 burpees

Burpee Set 4: another 104, 416 total

Sprint 100 yards
Mosey back 100 yards

Burpee Set 5: another 104, 520 total

At this point, Brady Bunch and Radar showed up to the AO. Rather than a traditional burpee penalty, we used them to reduce our burpees/PAX to 10/set for the remainder.

Merkins * 20
Wide Merkins * 15
Power Merkins * 10
Staggered Merkins * 5/side

Burpee Set 6: 100 in the set, 620 total

Jump squats * 20
Lunges * 20 total, 10/leg
Monkey Humpers * 20

Another flyover sighting, by Pooler and separately by Door Jam. We quickly determined it must be the same bird, but just in case it wasn’t, we did 7 burpees each.

Burpee Set 7: another 100, 720 total

American Hammer * 20/side

Crunchy Frog * 20
Freddie Mercury’s * 20 4 count

Burpee Set 8: another 100, 820 total

1/2 mile run

Burpee Set 9: another 100, 920 total

Merkins * 20
Wide Merkins * 15
Power Merkins * 10
Staggered Merkins * 5 per side

Burpee Set 10: another 100, 1,020 total

Update

YHC can’t count. There were only 7 PAX to start, and Brady Bunch/Radar bumped us up to 9. That changes the burpee count. Without the flyover burpees, we only got 905. With the flyovers, we got to 1,003. Guess we are counting the flyovers!

COT

Prayers for the country, for those affected by the Coronavirus, and for our fellow PAX through these unprecedented times.

Thanks for joining me in our first Virtual Q. All things considered it worked well. Still able to get some good mumblechatter in like comments about Bogey losing his shirt. It’s better than getting through a workout OYO!
