The Estate<\/p>\n

____________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

Whenever YHC plans a beatdown, the focus is on creating a difficult workout for the fittest men\u00a0(i.e. most physically “in shape”) in attendance. If the fittest are challenged, everyone gets better, and I believe that should be the goal.<\/p>\n

Knowing that The Estate has a hate-leaning\u00a0and\/or elite athlete crowd from week-to-week, YHC had his work cut out for him. This was further compounded by an ominous and somewhat cryptic tweet from Site Q Huckleberry yesterday, promising his Twitter followers they would “never forget” this beatdown. This resulted in YHC making some late-night adjustments to what was actually a pretty simple plan, utilizing three of my favorites from the lexicon:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Forties<\/li>\n
  2. Red Barchetta<\/li>\n
  3. Dirty McDeuce<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The trick was combining these three into an “unforgettable” experience for the 21 pax in attendance.<\/p>\n

    It all started promptly at 0530 with a mosey to The Village Tavern lot for Warm-o-rama<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \u00a0SSH x 20<\/li>\n
    • Whirly x 15<\/li>\n
    • Alternating shoulder taps x 12<\/li>\n
    • Peter Parker x 12<\/li>\n
    • Ski jumps x 12<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Then a mosey to base of the hill by the trail for Forties<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • 5 squats<\/li>\n
      • Backwards jog up hill<\/li>\n
      • 35 reverse lunges (single count)<\/li>\n
      • Jog downhill<\/li>\n
      • Increase squats by 5 reps each time<\/li>\n
      • Decrease lunges by 5 reps each time<\/li>\n
      • Run with scissors while waiting on the 6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        140 squats and 140 lunges were completed, or 2,940 of each by all pax in total!<\/p>\n

        Mosey to the Rugby Field for Red Barchetta<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • 100 yard dash – 100 SSHs – return<\/li>\n
        • 75 yard dash – 75 Mountain climbers (double count) – return<\/li>\n
        • 50 yard dash – 50 LBCs – return<\/li>\n
        • 25 yard dash – 25 Merkins – return<\/li>\n
        • 10 yard dash – 10 burpees – return<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          —10 count by Cobra—<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

          Dirty McDeuce<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n

          Round 1<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Merkins x 12<\/li>\n
          • Drop lunges x 12<\/li>\n
          • American hammers x 12<\/li>\n
          • 1 lap around path<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Round 2<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Diamond merkins x 12<\/li>\n
            • Monkey humpers x 12<\/li>\n
            • Heels to heaven x 12<\/li>\n
            • Beatdownus Interruptus: Time called<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Mosey back to parking lot. No time for Mary.<\/p>\n

              YHC took us out of COT.<\/p>\n

              FIN<\/p>\n

              Announcements:<\/h3>\n
                \n
              • TR needs Qs for Purgatory<\/li>\n
              • Zima is planning a convergence for July 4. Nag him incessantly about it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                NMM:<\/h3>\n
                  \n
                • The Estate never fails in bringing out the largest boot camp crowd in The Dash each week. It’s a great AO, so I get it.<\/li>\n
                • BAM called this beatdown “A Desert of Misery”. How could YHC not use that for the title of the backblast?<\/li>\n
                • Cobra was confused and thought he posted at Flatline for the first time. That’s on Tuesday and Thistle has the Q this week, so there’s still time, Cobra!<\/li>\n
                • Shake Weight will be starting The Dash’s first shake weight workout in the near future. See Slack for details.<\/li>\n
                • Gelding has a gong in his living room that he uses to EH (i.e., violently wake up) his roommates at 0500.<\/li>\n
                • If Toe Tag does an EC run before every workout, is it still considered EC?<\/li>\n
                • Pretty sure Blue Steel’s heart rate never got above 75 bpm, meaning YHC failed today.<\/li>\n
                • Balco knew it was Leg Day yet was a no-show anyway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
