An explosive day at Purgatory

An explosive day at Purgatory

QIC: BAM

Date: 02/04/2023

PAX: Splash, Bluto, Burlap, Drama Queen, Lemming, The Pony Express, Wobegon, Schlitz, Green Acres (WD), Schneider, Booboo and Picnic Basket, Starfish (what's left of him), Lamb Chop (WB), Sour Mash, Schlitz

Always a pleasure to lead at Purgatory, and want to make sure the esteemed pax that assemble their $$’s worth.  Also, IS crew was invited and even some WeFoCo #HIM who were in town to help GreeNest posted.  AND we had surprise visit by 2 pax who are learning what the lack of sleep feels like, what meconium is, and how many times a day a baby should poop.

Since it was scheduled to be kinda chilly, YHC dusted off a playlist from a while back that would keep pax warm, in spirit.

For the beatdown, as we all know, YHC likes sets of exercises with fun names, so several were combined to avoid a repeat of Bluto’s fun from last Saturday.

Warmorama

• the usual stuff
• YHC got slightly distracted, #squirrel, when it sounded like opening song of the playlist was on repeat
• Song wasn’t on repeat, the Q rallied and found some more exercises to warm pax up

The Thang

• run to far end of adjacent parking lot for
• BOMBS!
  • Partner up, P1 runs to island and back, then flapjacks with P2
  • Burpees x 50
  • Overhead Claps x 100
  • Merkins x 150
  • Big Boy Situps x 200
  • Squats x 250
• Mosey to field for
• Col Trautmans! (Rambo reference)
  • New partner up! P1 runs to p/u bar, 3 p/u and run back, P2 does 10 merkins and planks until partner returns
  • repeato until song ends (Heat Wave by Linda Ronstadt for those keeping score)
• Stay right there for
• Lt. Dan Taylors (Forest Gump fame)
  • 1 squat, 4 lunges
  • keep 1:4 ratio and increase until you get to 10 squats and 40 lunges
• Mosey across the field to Las Vegas for
• Blackjack!
  • 1 Merkin, run, 20 LBC’s run back
  • 2/19, etc until 20 merkins/1 LBC
• Mosey back to parking lot

NMM

• Late arriving crowd, good to keep warmorama going
• BooBoo seemed to have some difficulty running in a straight line during BOMBS
• Pax picked up theme of songs pretty quickly, they are smart
• Boomerang needs more beauty sleep than Starfish, but pulled a quality #fartsnack
• When Green Acres gets bored, he just goes and does more pull ups
• Bluto was hoping for the classic “The Roof is on Fire” on the playlist, but was disappointed
• Most pax got tired of counting during Lt. Dan’s, but they still ain’t got no legs
• Picnic Basket worked out her breakfast during trip to Vegas
• D-Day, Splash, and Schlitz kept drifting down the “hill” during Blackjack, probably would have wound up in the woods if the Q hadn’t called the workout
