"I hope we aren't doing burpees today"

8 Lakers (thanks Pavarotti), including two FNGs, gathered in the gloom to see what YHC had up his sleeves.  I include myself in the 8 because even I had no idea what I would be doing!  I showed up with two completely different workouts in mind.  Don’t worry men, you will see the other one soon!  5:30am came, I made a decision, and it was as follows:

Warm-Up:

SSH X 15, IST X 15, MC X 15, Merkins X 10

The Thang:

Circle Up around a deck of cards.  Each man draws a card that determines what exercise and number of reps the pax will perform.  Here is the key:

Hearts = Burpees

Diamonds = Merkins

Clubs = Air Squats

Spades = LBCs

Aces = 10 count

Joker = Pick your exercise

Mary:

Pretzel crunch (The Farm)

LBCs (Piston)

Mason Twists (Schultz)

Low Flutter (King Julian)

WWII Sit-ups (Jordache)

COT

BOM

Moleskin:

It was great seeing you men this morning!  It was really exciting seeing the FNGs!  We are growing and that is awesome.  Apparently Piston does not like burpees and said he hoped we wouldn’t be doing any this morning.  Those are famous last words brother!  Also, Schultz must love burpees because he kept picking hearts!  By the way, if you completed all reps, we did 91 reps of each exercise with four 10 counts and two moseys.  If you didn’t complete all reps, don’t worry…you’ll see this workout again in the future.  Remember how you did so you can compare this you with the future you.  Finally, great job to those that stepped up to lead a Mary exercise and Piston for taking us out.  We are all leaders!
