9 men came out to see YHC Defying natural tendency and planning a BC without running.

We warmed up with SSHs, cottonpickers, mountain climbers, and 20 correct form Merkins.

Promising something unique, YHC previously sorted the F3 Exicon for Burpees and ended up with 42, making up 3 more to create a list of 45.  These exercises were numbered 4 thru 48.  The pax took turns drawing 4 cards from a deck that was missing the Queens to generate a number 4 thru 48 and a fifth card to set the quantity.  The description of the exercise was read and demonstrated.  We took 12 turns which gave us a chance to try many different kinds of Burpees.  Here are a few of the more interesting ones….3 to 12 reps were done of each.

• Burpee.
• Burpo:  Skip the jump up.
• Bropee: Performing a Burpees with a partner simultaneously so that on your squat jump up you execute a most excellent high ten.
• Circle Burp:  Pax chops feet until one person yells down and everyone drops for a Burpee, repeat.
• Flying Squirrel Burpee:  Arms and legs spread throughout.
• Global Warming Burpee:  Pax circles doing Al Gores until Q yells drop than all does a Burpee, repeat.
• Hey Watch Iss:  Pax shuffles to the side until Q yells Hey Watch Iss and tell the number of Burpees to do, repeat.
• Jumping Jack Flash Burpee:  10 SSHs before each Burpee.
• One legged Burpee
• Prisoner Cell Merkin Burpees: After the Merkin, bring one knee in and back then a Merkin, then bring the other knee in and back then another Merkin.
• Turk n Burp:  Combines a Turkish Getup and a Burpee
• Burp ups:  During the jump up, grab pull up bars and do a pull up.
• Balls to the Wall Burpee: A Burpee except place feet high up on a wall for a Durkin instead of a Merkin.
• Siamese Twin Burpee: Lock shield with a partner and each provides one arm and one leg.

Mary…done in People’s choice format.  All Pax picked a favorite except Man Down and his dang Crunchy Frogs were skipped.

Take-away…

• Hotwheels and Skipper got a prerun in.
• The Siamese Twin Burpee is for advanced Pax and done before they get too sweaty.  It was cool in my head though.
• the Balls to the wall Burpee was good.  I’m surprised no one invented that before.  I think I will rename it the Derpee.
• It is known that the exercise was performed correctly if a fart was forced from someone.
• Man Down is setting up Speed for Need at KT5K
• Thanks for the prayers for my Surgeon at 12:30 today.
• it was interesting to use the collective creativity of F3 in one workout.
