Impossible Situation May 30th Pre-Blast – Rules of The Game

Impossible Situation May 30th Pre-Blast – Rules of The Game

GAME RULES

Game set up

• Each member of the PAX must select a weight (cinderblock, kettlebell, dumbbell, rock).  Manhood might be judged in direct proportion to the size of the weight.  Oops, I mean, do what you feel comfortable with.

• The PAX must collectively agree on a common “safeword” to be used throughout the game.

• At the appointed start time, the PAX form a large circle-ish shape with enough space in between each person to perform exercises safely with the proper form.  The sac of tokens should be placed in the center of the circle.

Game play

• A member of the PAX (it is recommended to rotate each time) selects a wooden token from the brown paper sac and reads aloud the exercise printed on it.  The token should not be placed back into the sac.

• Optional modification: The token may be placed back into the sac.

• The PAX then proceed to perform that exercise OYO beyond the target number of reps until any member of the PAX yells out the safeword.

• The person who yelled out the safeword must also state the number of reps he completed.  

• NOTE: That number must be at least one greater than that was completed for the previous exercise (aka the target number).  For example, if the previous exercise was completed at 5 SSHs, then the target number is 5 and PAX must do at least 5+1=6 Squats for the next round.

• If a member of the PAX has already reached (or passed) the new target when it was called, he can immediately stop that exercise.  If not, he must continue the reps until he has achieved the new target number.

• Once the exercise is complete, the PAX may individually or collectively start to run a designated lap.

• Upon returning from the lap, all PAX must perform Mountain Climbers while waiting for the six.

• Optional modification: Go back for the six.

• Rinse and Repeat until the end of the beatdown.

Game scoring

• There is no scoring.  When the PAX all finish the beatdown, EVERYONE wins together.

Bonus Information

• There are 3 RESET tokens in the sac that when drawn reset the target number of reps to 1.

• At any point during the workout, if a member of PAX desires not to achieve the target number of reps for the corresponding exercise, he may use his sacred “Blue Pill”.  By yelling, “Viagra” out loud, that exercise may be skipped, but the cost is 10 Burpees for the PAX.  This special power may only be used once per beatdown per PAX member.

• Optional modification: The Q may increase the set number of Blue Pill Burpees based on the mumble chatter of the PAX.
