Intro
16 Pax gathered in the gloom on a 74 degree, 84% humidity Corn Moon morning for the conclusion of Decade Week, the latest installment of Theme Week. It is doughboy’s v-respect day, but since he is downrange for the holiday, YHC who turned 30 Wednesday swapped Birthday Q’s. Wednesday was a throwback to the 70’s for doughboy’s 50th, today was celebrating the 90’s for YHC’s 30th.
In celebration of the 90s, YHC wore a Dikembe Mutombo Atlanta Hawks 55 jersey, Bogey a mario costume, and Betty Crocker squeezed into a Roswell High School football shirt. YHC brought a boombox and played a rockin 90’s playlist while carrying the boombox on his shoulder throughout the workout.
COP
Disclaimer was given with all in Al Gore. Modified version of 21’s to 30 was performed, with 3 punishment burpees owed thanks to R-12.
Next, the pax took part in a round of Chumbaburpee. Tubthumping by Chumbawamba was a personal favorite of YHC in first grade circa 1998. For every “I get knocked down, I get up again,” a burpee was performed. During the versus, the pax duck walked in a circle as we pissed the night away from our whiskey drinks, cider drinks, the songs that remind us of the good times, and the songs that remind us of the bad times.
27 burpees were performed during Chumbaburpee. Add the 3 from the 30’s fail earlier, 30 burpees total performed. As was noted, YHC planned as if the group was going to fail the 30’s.
Mosey to the back lot.
The Thang
EMOM Ascending Pyramid – Jump Squats and Merks + 60 yard run
-10 sets of Jump Squats + 60 yard run EMOM, increasing by 3 from 3 to 30 jump squats each minute
-10 sets of Merkins + 60 yard run EMOM, increasing by 3 from 3 to 30 Merkins each minute
At the top of every minute, each pax performed a set of the exercise (reps starting at 3 and increasing by 3 every set up to 30 on the tenth and final set) then ran 2 islands (approximately 60-70 yards). This was done first for jump squats, then repeated for Merkins.
165 reps were performed for each exercise and 20 ~60 yard sprints.
Moseyed back to the circle
CoT
Upon arriving at the circle, in honor of Mario amongst us (s/o Bogey), the pax did some cherry picker Mario skips out to the DB 97 broskis and back to the circle.
We pledged, prayed, and were on our way.
