BEATDOWN.

Each round builds on the previous round, but then comes back down (like a ladder).  For example, the exercises would be: 1-2-3-2-1.

At the end of each round, run to the end of the parking lot and back.  Mountain Climbers for the six.

Add a round of ab exercises between each exercise round.

Exercises:

1. Burpees x 5
2. Side-to-Side Block Merkins x 10
3. Thrusters x 15
4. Curls x 20
5. Block Jumps x 25
6. Tricep Presses x 30

Abs:

• Low Dollies
• V-Ups
• Boat Hold
• Gas Pumps
• WWIIs
• Pulse Ups

DONE.

Whoops – 15 more Thrusters at the request of 60 Minutes.

THOUGHTS.

• Everybody in the group completed a full 6 rounds.  Well, YHC completed 6 rounds and since YHC was the six, it seems that by logical deduction, everyone else also at least completed 6.
• Thrusters were, by far, the favorite exercise <insert an immense amount of sarcasm>.  The cardboard was REPEATEDLY checked to make sure that Thrusters were still listed, but not-so-silently hoping for the opposite.  No such luck.  #ThrustOn
• As always, for some reason, the PAX took the “Mountain Climbers for the six” instruction as a mere suggestion.  Now that I think of it, they took most of the exercise instructions as a suggestion.  Those Clemmons boys are a cheeky bunch.
• Can someone please define the word “necessary” for me?  What does it mean to modify as necessary?
• 60 Minutes enjoyed the Thrusters so much, he asked for an extra round after the workout was over.  The Q may not have understood his sarcasm.  #Overtime
• On those rare occasions that Spicoli arrives a few minutes late, do you think he’s sending a message to the rest of us that we waste too much time chit chatting and “warming up”?  That dude hits the Go button the minute he steps out of his chariot.
• If I modify the exercises like Schneider, will I get guns like his?  #LifeGoals
• When YHC started the beatdown, I didn’t feel like explaining everything, so I just said, “Do what I do and you’ll figure it out”.  Madoff replied, “We’ll all be following you anyway.”  He could not have been more wrong!  Half way through the second round, he flew past me and never looked back.
• YHC missed the entrance of Eye Candy.  He slipped into the PAX like a ninja so fortunately the group escaped another set of Spicolis.  But once there, he didn’t miss a beat.
• Sour Mash talked a lot.  He might have also lifted up his cinder block once or twice, but he also talked a lot.  In fact, I could hear him talking from the other end of the line.  Did I mention he talked a lot.
• YHC thought that maybe the Clemmons boys would enjoy a moderately tough beatdown, sprinkled with some periods of rest and camaraderie.  Let’s check that box this morning with a little sweat and some good times.  Nothing too crazy, but still worthwhile.  But then Hansel arrived and YHC knew that wasn’t going to fly.  There was no way he was going to let the Q mail it in and throw down a less-than-adequate workout.  #InsanityMode #ThrustersEngaged

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• 9 year anniversary of F3WS (observed) this Saturday at Hanes Park at 7am.  Throw out those HCs.  Sour Mash is buying coffee for everyone afterwards.

PRAYERS:

• Healthy living for the new year.
• Spicoli talking politics.

Zima Out.
