March 20th, 2018 By Barrister

With the NCAA tournament upon us, and the MeCa Go Ruck Tough behind me, YHC decided to compose a March Madness/basketball themed workout.  13 of Highlands best decided to try their hands at a little basketball.  It went a little like this.

Mosey to the Bus Parking Lot

Warm-o-Rama

16 x Cheerleaders IC (I believe #Gump noted that Barrister’s balls were out somewhere around the 5 or 6 count)

16 x Bobby Hurley’s Single Count OYO

16 x IST IC

16 x Mountain Climbers IC

The Thang

The PAX split up into two teams.  Each team has a basketball.  This is a race competition between the two teams.  The first PAX from each team starts at the same time and attempts to make a 3 – if made, the making team does 3 merkins and the losing side does 30 merkins.  If both teams miss, the PAX retrieves his own rebound and attempts a shot from the foul line.  If made, the making team does 2 carolina dry docks and the losing team does 20 carolina dry docks.  If both teams miss, the PAX retrieves his own rebound and attempts a lay-up.  If made, the making team does 1 burpee and the losing team does 3.  If both teams miss the lay-up, both teams must do 10 burpees.

While waiting on the PAX to score, the remaining members of the team will perform AMRAP of the winning team’s choice – #PaysToBeAWinner:

YHC chose the first exercise based on the exercise that kicked his butt at the MeCa Go Ruck Tough on Friday Night/Saturday Morning.

Monkey Humper (Cadre Chuy referred to this exercise by its R rated name).  Monkey Humper became the default whenever both teams missed the lay-up, which occurred more frequently than one would like to admit.

Mosey to Mary

Homer to Marge

Maison Twist x 16

Passed to Disaster for The W x 16

Passed to Glock for The Squirm x 20

COT:

It was great leading you fine gentlemen this morning.  Glad the rain subsided so that I could implement this workout.  I hope you all enjoyed it.  Based on the Mumble Chatter, I think it was a success.

#Koolaid pointed out that my form for the Merkins needed a little improvement.  I am just happy my arms are still functional after the Go Ruck Tough this weekend.  (Also Cadre Chuy had the same critique of my form #IronSharpensIron).

Number 1 pointed out that my legal disclaimer was very legally appropriate, right up to the point that I suggested someone punch Gump in the mouth, at which point it became more like a Trump rally.  #FakeNews.
