Death by Merkins
All Rolling Stone BackblastsNovember 10th, 2020
Sunday and a wide open Q schedule for the week. YHC is not feeling too bad from his Saturday marathon and decides that a shameless Death by Merkin Q will do just fine to go easy on the legs and to start getting back on track for 7K Merkins this month. Push Up playlist and bluetooth speaker at the ready, disclaimer given and we are off. Alcove by playground tough to get to due to locked fence, so QIC takes path of least resistance and heads to the front of the school.
Warmarama: Various butt kickers, high knees and elbow to instep (Pox impressed with vocabulary) on the way to the school entrance. Then SSH, Arm Circles, ISTs, WMs.
The Thang: Death by Merkin – EMOM
- 1st minute – 1 Merkin
- 2nd minute – 2 Merkins
- etc. until 20 minutes – 20 merkins
Plan was for 30 minutes, but was turning into a smoke session early, so let’s DORA 1-2-3 with 100 Lunges, 200 Squats, 300 LBCs to fill out the rest of the workout. YHC said he was here for the Pax’s chesticles, not their fitness today, but he lied a bit with the DORA.
Mary: See above mentioned 300 LBCs
COT: Millenium race Saturday in Harrisburg. Mount Afton Race in January. Prayers for a vaccine so that the high risk folks (like my parents) can enjoy some sense of normalcy themselves. Roomba with the Cruise Q tomorrow…probably not going to be a dry one.
Moleskin:
- The Push up playlist did have a bit of Funk feel to it, outside of Matchbox Twenty and the rage metal song. Prince approved per Firestone.
- I think Life Alert was mighty impressed with said playlist and it will probably be part of his BBQ routine quite soon.
- Apparently, bluetooth speaker snobbery is alive and well at Rolling Stone as pax were mumbling that YHC’s wasn’t top of the line. Like if I had one, I would bring it out for you bozos:)
- Wrong Way, you missed it. A workout with almost no running…until Dora. YHC told him when he started F3 that we didn’t run all that much here…then we apparently decided to cover 2+ miles every bootcamp as a new standard. This was your chance bro.
- This recent running fetish here was evident by pax running voluntary laps between EMOM merkin sets. WTH is going on here?!
- One might say, “Heatstroke, why you talking about running all the time, you just ran a marathon” to which YHC would say “I wasn’t running all the time, I just ran the marathon” No lead up run training…smart.
