Decreed 5-Layer Deconstructed Burp-ups

QIC: Van Gogh

Date: 12/27/2022

PAX: @Rubber Ducky, @Zima, @Spicoli, @Lamb Chop, @Turnover, (WB), @Drip (WD), @van.gogh

This year, Christmas was crazy. Between a 2.2 with an infected lymph node, losing power for 30 hrs, a cancelled trip to Charlotte, a late night. Prepping for Christmas morning solo (while family slept at the parents house) and a 24 hr man flu/cold for YHC… it had been a whirlwind leading up to Monday night! Christmas was still wonderful, and YHC was feeling healthy, ready to enjoy what is normally YHCs favorite part of the year: the week between Christmas and. We Years! YHC wanted to bring back a favorite beat down in honor of this time… but little did YJC know, that a PAX comment about thinking my preblast was teasing something new, would lead to a heavily modified version that had been pondering for some time now! 

 

Also note that if a Q utters the word “decree” while leading, the PAX will *not* accept an Omaha (without giving a ton of crap first at least).

  • 195 merkins and 6 levels worth of bear crawls is a LOT of shoulders and chest. The original version just would have been more pull ups and burpees… but this was NEW and still honored the old favorite, so everybody won!
  • The backwards running up the deck got the quads burnnnning too!
  • Big news appeared long after the beat down that it was DRIP’s birthday!  And YHC felt very bad for missing some sort of way to honor one of the most humble, positive, and uplifting Respects to be around in the Dash. I think we can all agree: F3WS is great because of HIMs like Drip!
  • Turnover stated he thought my pre last was teasing something new. Here was the preblast:  “Since the week between Christmas and New Years is YHCs favorite time of year, YHC is going to unleash a favorite exercise of mine at #Flatline! It only seems right…” Eh, maybe I could see some misunderstanding? :shrug:
  • Either way, instead of de constructed burpees, YHC decreed we were peeling an onion and adding merkins with each layer. “It has been decreed!” was hollered after grumbling was heard…
  • YHC ate his words when realizing how Merkin heavy it was about to be, “Okay, well maybe we can add a Junp squat too…” YHC mumbled. Only to be met with “Oh nooo, YOU DECREED IT!” from the PAX! I like the integrity check, thank you men!
  • So the rest got progressively worse from there, very chest and shoulder heavy, lunge walk modification offered but hardly utilized; an amazingly tough bunch of PAX!
  • Lamb chop was heard crop dusting, commenting on his sauerkraut tacos from the night before. He was also complaining about the Merkins, which YHC said wouldn’t be as big an issue if he’d started posting at SuperMax (a long running… discussion… he and I have been having).
  • Rubber Ducky continues to impress with his grit and dedication. Zima once again brought up the “943” squat showdown he had with Cruiser, who YHC knows as The Squat King at Alcatraz. So it must have been a sight!
  • Spicoli was at the AO before YHC, he was sad there wasn’t more pull-ups, but did the Thang with a full smile and positive attitude. He also shared the news of Drips bday on Slack, thank you, sir!
  • Zima said this was stupid, but also said he enjoyed it. Such a glutton for punishment!
  • Birthday Boy, Drip, fell at one point and we concocted a Dr Seuss Poem: “Drip tripped. Drip tripped on the tip. What tip? Just the tip? Yes, the tip, just the tip! Drip tripped on the tip of his toes! His toe was too slow when his body said Go, so Drip tripped on the tip of his toe!”          and that’s all we got while running down. But rest assured, Still was uninjured and smiled through the whole thing.
  • Turnover listed in 20-degrees weather. I think Planet Fitness must be closed for the holidays, because TO was here and never complained once about the cold. Is he *Turning Over* a new leaf!?

 

Thanks for posting men, appreciate y’all putting up with that semi-impromptu, chest heavy beato en! It was a great start to the day and nice to get life back to normal after that crazy Christmas!
