When YHC realized the date of my upcoming Mayhem Q, it seemed to be made for some sort of theme.\u00a0 As always, time slipped by and best I could conjure up was a half new year celebration.\u00a0 Hey – we’ve loved 2020 so much already, let’s celebrate the start of the second half.<\/p>\n
Some limited thought was given and exercises were jotted on a weinke with hours to spare.\u00a0 Now if only some pax would show up to my party.<\/p>\n
YHC was not disappointed when 7 other Mayhem regulars arrived to see what was in store.\u00a0 There had been a near mutiny the week before when Fender led a burpee and rock throwing madness.\u00a0 Upon Pony Express’ request that fit perfectly into my plan burpees were to be done in a very limited fashion.<\/p>\n
We began with many of the warmorama standards.\u00a0 There was some discussion regarding Imperial Walkers vs Imperial Storm Troopers – my preference is Walking Storm Troopers.\u00a0 We moved through some fairly quick Abe Vigodas and Whirlies and ended with the DQ special Dry Dock Crabs.\u00a0 We made it to 7 before the pax began to grumble and really get out of sync.<\/p>\n
On to the Thang – we moseyed up to the driveway which conveniently had 7 light posts.\u00a0 We would celebrate 7\/1\/20 by stopping at each light post and doing 1 burpee and 20 reps of an exercise.\u00a0 And there would be two rounds.\u00a0 In round one we ran all the way back to start before advancing to next light post.\u00a0 Round two we went straight thru.<\/p>\n
Merkin Round<\/p>\n
1- merkins<\/p>\n
2- wide<\/p>\n
3- hand release<\/p>\n
4- diamond<\/p>\n
5- ranger<\/p>\n
6- scorpion (10 each leg up)<\/p>\n
7- slirkins (slide to one side merkin – then back to other)<\/p>\n
Leg Round<\/p>\n
1-squats<\/p>\n
2-alt lunge<\/p>\n
3-alt rev lunge<\/p>\n
4-front kicks<\/p>\n
5-side kicks<\/p>\n
6- calf raises<\/p>\n
7- Mary Katherines<\/p>\n
At the end of the leg round we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise as we performed the MKs and ran back down the hill.<\/p>\n
We then moseyed to the shelter for a couple of rounds of bench work that consisted of step ups, Bulgarian split squats, and feet of the bench crunches.\u00a0 One last exercise was impromptu and was going to be bench presses until YHC was informed the benches did not move.\u00a0 Not to be denied we did isometric bench presses.\u00a0 All seemed pleased.<\/p>\n
We moseyed back to launch for some Mary that consisted of Freddie Mercs, Low Flutter, Mutton Crunches and a few seconds to plank to finish time.<\/p>\n
NMM<\/p>\n
There was not an overabundance of MC.\u00a0 Just a lot of hard work and counting to 20.<\/p>\n
We did reminisce about HOGs rollover burpees.\u00a0 YHC had just experienced them Monday.\u00a0 Splash seemed to have a more nightmarish memory.<\/p>\n
Wide variety of speeds but pax stayed together well (although not too close)<\/p>\n
Turnover decided to go ahead and plank instead of Al Gore on the merkin round – “hey we’re gonna be down here soon enough anyway”<\/p>\n
High Cotton left before Mary and did not run over any pax on his way out.<\/p>\n
