After a quick Warmarama involving SSHs, ISTs, Arm Swirly Things, Whirlys, Abe Vigodas and Mountain Climbers, during which&nbsp; YHC lost focus due to some giggling amongst some of the PAX apparently as a result of something I did or said, we moved onto <strong>THE THANG.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE THANG:&nbsp; <\/strong>A starfish style workout encompassing a center station in the middle of the parking lot surrounded by five (5) stations at the outer edges of the parking lot, forming a very misshapen star.&nbsp; &nbsp;At the center station was a Weinke of ab\/core exercises.&nbsp; &nbsp;At each of the outlying stations, located anywhere from 30-60 yards away from the center station, were points equipped with a Weinke of exercises generally, but not entirely, focused on a particular part of the body, to wit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Arms<\/li><li>Legs<\/li><li>Chest<\/li><li>Shoulders<\/li><li>Miscellaneous<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>YHC brought along about 6 extra kettlebells\/dumbells of various sizes.&nbsp; These extras, in addition to the weights brought by the PAX, enabled us to roughly&nbsp; distribute at least 4 kettlebells\/dumbells evenly at each station (none were needed for the center ab\/core station.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PAX paired off with a battle-buddy having more or less equivalent speed\/stamina\/enthusiasm, resulting in five 2-man teams and one 3-man team.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PAX all started at the center station.&nbsp; After completing 20 reps of the first ab\/core exercise (Freddy Mercs), the buddy-teams then scattered, running to the various outlying stations.&nbsp; After performing 20 reps of the first listed exercise, each buddy-team ran back to the center station to do 20 reps of the next listed ab\/core exercise before running to the next outlying station, moving back and forth from the center to the various stations in a clockwise direction, working through each of the listed exercises.&nbsp; &nbsp;Unless otherwise stated (to wit:&nbsp; Burpees and Bodyweight skull crushers), 20 reps were required at each station before moving on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PAX worked out continuously, constantly moving back and forth until 0615 hours arrived.&nbsp; &nbsp; YHC and my partner, Schneider, nearly made it around the Star four full times.&nbsp; &nbsp;I think that every other team made about the same progress, with the exception of The Singing Cowboy and TSI, who just decided to do whatever they heck they wanted.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that we had worked our abs\/core the entire time, we dispensed with <strong>MARY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NMM:&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Christmas Eve convergence at Outhouse<\/li><li>F3 workouts on Christmas Day are cancelled.&nbsp;
