Humid Mutation

QIC: Greenspan

Date: 7/20/20

PAX: Cinco Lite, Beast Lite, Spamalot, Green Acres, Greenspan

Zima’s monster that escaped from the lab returned for round 3 of the CV-19 beatdown.  Testing rounds 1 & 2 were conducted in milder weather patterns.  What impact would the humidity have on the pax?  Spoiler:  a lot.

Warmarama:

Quick SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Arm Destroyers.

Beatdown:

A weight was suggested.  A cinder block was recommended.  The PAX chose any weight they felt was sufficient or bypassed the weight altogether.

All exercises were to be performed for 19 reps:

C – Curls on Knees

O – Overhead Squats (weight held overhead)

V – Vault Burpees (the jump portion of the burpee is to be executed as vertical side hop over the weight in one direction and then reversed for the subsequent rep)

I – In-N-Outs

D – Derkins (feet on the weight)

FINISHED!

Announcements:

  • SpamTan has Q at Bells & Whistles on Wednesday.
  • The Shmed: 24-hour CSAUP event August 28-29.  Giving platform is up; goal is to raise $10,000.
  • The Work is tonight at 730. Spicoli is the Q, and the group will be discussing the life of John Lewis.

CoT:

YHC took us out with prayers for fortitude to stand again unrighteousness as John Lewis did, and to have minds enlightened by the wisdom of the Psalms and Proverbs.

Moleskin:

  • All got through 4+ rounds in less than ideal conditions! Great job, men!
  • Vaulting burpees get worse as the humidity increases. As if we needed that…
  • Cinco Lite came back after his first post last week! T-claps to the #WarBaby for posting 2 consecutive weeks.  Both workouts were real snotwoggles.
  • It was beautiful to watch Beast Lite guiding Cinco Lite through the workout. It made YHC want to wake up BamBam at 0445 next week.
  • Green Acres RIROed as he has for the past few weeks. He then proceeded to again give the pax reason to believe that age is just a number.
  • SpamTan asked when #IronPax was. He agreed with YHC’s suggestion that CV-19 might make an appearance at this year’s iteration and that it was a good thing that we had practiced multiple times.

Thanks, Zima, for giving us this gift that is the Covid-19.  We are better and more resilient physically as a result.

I’ll keep the keys and hand them off to the TBD Q of next week’s KB workout.

    Couple of observations. First, the level of humidity can not be overstated. Insane. Second, YHC had suffered through the first version of this back last year or whenever this nonsense we are living through started. I think it was easier except for the darned HUMIDITY!!! Third, we made it through almost one full song before the Q’s speaker had enough. Again, blame the humidity.
