Mike Tyson vs. The Bear

QIC: Goofy

Date: 11/16/2024

PAX: Bluto, Burlap, Goofy (Q), Green Acres (WD), Lace, Lemming, Linus, Parkay (WB), Pony Express, Splash, Starfish, Undertow (SQ)

A very respectful 12 Pax posted to Purgatory for and learned a little about Mike Tyson and the show the Bear.  I know the combo of themes is confusing and so was the Q.  More explanation below.

Warm-a-Rama

  • Started with SSH, per usual, then moseyed to the flag pole for the next exercise and so on until we were at the end of the parking lot.

Mike Tysons Record – for 8 rounds (like the Tyson Paul Fight)

  • Low Flutter for Tyson’s 58 fights
  • SSH for his 50 wins – SSH
  • Squats for 44 KO’s (with or without rock)
  • Curls for 20 – his age he won his irst title
  • OH Press for 19 – Tyson won his first 19 bouts by knockout
  • Mike Tysons – 12 – Of those first 19, 12 were knockouts in the first round
  • Burpees – 6 losses (does not include his loss to Jake Paul last night or 2 no contests in his career)
  • Run around circle for 1 Bitten ear
  • Repeat 8x

1 Minute Tabata Rounds – report to the wall

  • One minute of
    • First 30 seconds was wall sit or plank – taking turns each round
    • Second 30 seconds was a called exercise by each pax down the line
  • Every Pax got their turn so we returned to the beginning

Mary

  • Had time for Freddie Merc and about 30 seconds of Plank

BOM – YHC took us out thankful for the opportunity.

NMM

  • The Q could not choose between themes a) Mike Tyson’s fight or b) his new favorite show The Bear.  So I decided to do both.  The workout was themed on Tyson and the tunes were from the show The Bear. 
  • The soundtrack of The Bear is terrific, as well as the show.  See Tune list below 
  • The combined themes, while odd worked well anyway.
  • Several Pax agreed with the quality of the show The Bear!  The Christmas episode and the Fork episode were called out.  Just outstanding.
  • There was appropriate complaining of the back to back choices of OH Press, Tysons and Burpees.  Well, Lace complimented the combo!  Everyone else hated it, even the Q
  • Lots of chatter, especially during warm-o-Rama.  Not at the Q, I don’t think just good convo in the group.
  • A very respectful crowd overall.  Parkay, was the only one under 50!  
  • There is a correction to the count above.  My post right after the workout said 11 (since edited).  Splash left before the count, and I think that screwed us up. Thought we counted him and we didn’t.
  • I meant to tell this story at the end, but forgot.  I saw an interview where Tyson was with a new up and coming boxer. Tyson told him that “God gave him his talent and wants him be successful”.  He added, “that also means the Devil wants you also and he will come for you.  Remember who got you here.”
