Damnit Mash
All The Dawg House BackblastsMarch 9th, 2022
The title is so fitting! Damnit Mash……he was the joker this morning. You will learn why.
7 studs met QIC for what we thought would be a drenched beatdown. Uecker brought the drought so we were able to run outside some but I had already planned to stay dry with my location of the beatdown so that didn’t really change. Buck and Liquid Courage thought I said no burpees but I just promised no burpee ladders. The devil is in the details gentlemen! HAHA!
Disclaimer was given…….”I’m not a professional but I look damn good while doing it!”
Mosey to warmorama and on the way there we mixed it up with some high knees, butt kickers, karaoke and quadraphelia.
Warmorama – High Knees 20 IC, 10 Penny Pickers IC, 20 Plank Jacks IC and 10 Windmills IC
Mosey to school canopy for the beatdown. My plan was to name this workout “Playing the hand you are dealt” but it was much better to name it “Damnit Mash” since he pulled the jokers each time for the ultimate punishment.
The Thang- We went around the circle and each person pulls one card and we do the count with the number on the card and the exercise based on the suit on the card. Ace is 11, Face cards are 10 and each other one I think explains itself.
Round 1 – Diamond = Down Dog Merkins, Heart = Carolina Dry Docks, Spade = Lunges (each leg is 1), Clover = WWII. Each deck has 2 Jokers….we think! A Joker on this round was the bear crawl, merkin countdown. 10 bear crawls and 10 merkins, 9 bearcrawls and 9 merkins all the way down to 1. We didn’t do any down dog merkins. No diamonds in 2 rounds! A lot of lunges for Uecker!
Needless to say Mash was 4th and he found our first Joker! He made a ton of friends this morning!
We did 1 round and ran and a 2nd round and ran.
Round 2 – I switched the exercises for round 2. Diamond = Merkin, Hearts = SSH IC, Spade = Calf Raises, Clover = The W. Joker was 20 burpees.
We went around once all good and ran. 2nd round Mash once again found the joker for 20 burpees!
After 2 rounds and not a lot of time left. The 3rd round was the same as round two but burpees instead of merkins. Sadly we still haven’t seen many diamonds really!
Round 3 – Was there another joker? Diamond = Burpees, Hearts = SSH IC, Spade = Calf Raises, Clover = The W. Joker was a Burpee Sprint.
Good news is we ran out of time to see if there was another joker but Mash still grabbed a Face card and a DIMAOND on his last round to let us finish with 10 burpees.
Mosey back to mary with the exact same way we came to the workout area with some high knees, butt kickers, karaoke and quadraphelia. Finally arrive at mary and with less than 2 minutes remaining….we stretched.
Mash, we love ya brother! Good work today. Good work by everyone!
Much respect to Mash, Buck, Uecker, Big Country, Loveboat, Liquid Courage and Ticconderoga!
Prayers: Loveboats wife with stomach bug and for Bucks son in California.
It was an honor to lead you fine gentlemen today.
God bless,
Sir Topham
