5 Men showed up on a brisk December morning looking to earn their letter and indulge in a little more pain before the holiday festivities begin. YHC was in the holiday mood, thus planned a themed workout for this morning to warm the fellas up. YHC having the penmanship of a hoofed animal, managed to scrawl out the 12 Days of Christmas workout on a white board while driving into the AO and off we were.

Warm-up

• Brisk mosey around the lot
• Circle up for:
  • SSH x 20
  • Moroccan Night Club x 15
  • Low Slow Squat x 10

The Thang

12 Days of Christmas 2016 Varsity Edition:

1. Burpees (1 Set, 12 reps = 12 TL reps)
2. Bombjacks (2 Sets, 11 reps = 22 TL reps)
3. Curb Dips (3 Sets, 10 reps = 30 TL reps)
4. Mountain Climbers – Double Ct (4 Sets, 9 reps = 36 TL reps)
5. Merkins – (5 Sets, 8 reps = 40 TL reps)
6. Peter Parker – (6 Sets, 7 reps = 42 TL reps)
7. CDD – (7 Sets, 6 reps = 42 TL reps)
8. Pull-Ups (8 Sets, 5 reps = 40 TL reps)
9. Diamond Merkins (9 Sets, 4 reps = 36 TL reps)
10. WWII Sit-up (10 Sets, 3 reps = 30 TL reps)
11. Toes to Bar (11 Sets, 2 reps = 22 TL reps)
12. Burpees (12 Sets, 1 rep = 12 TL reps)

At the half-way point, we gave the muscles a break for a mosey down to the bottom of the hill….In F3 Physics class I learned what goes down must come up and from there:

• Hill Sprint 20 yds (recover down)
• Hill Sprint 40 yds (recover down)
• Hill Sprint back to the summit and back to Christmas themed workout

*So-Crates so accurately described this portion as the realization that not only are there presents to open, but we also have stockings….filled with turd nuggets

YHC was blessed with strong PAX today and we finished up with time to spare, which was dedicated to the core:

• 15 LBC
• 10 Reverse LBC
• 5 6inch LBC
• Pistol Crunches (10x each side)
• 1 minute forearm plank

Moleskin

• Big Thank You to Skate or Die for having me out to Q Varsity this week. NAFO is at the top of my list of AO’s to Q, sooo much to do. Skate or Die was the War Daddy today but had the best wheels on the uphill sprint
• Always great to have Ringer at a workout to push you. I’m glad he owed me money and thus had to show up, pay the debt and pad the numbers for this 43 degree felt like 33 degree morning. Ringer also spotted multiple creatures lurking in the night which we determined were too small to be deer and too large to be house cats.
• Patton, this kid MAN is unbelievable and I truly mean it. At his age to wake up early, take on the elements and crush all of us on pull-ups is truly commendable. Keep up the great work brother via F3 and CrossFit.
• So-Crates was the only one brave enough to show off the vocals this morning getting us into the Christmas spirit. So-Crates also thought he saw something hiding in the shed behind the ROTC barracks…not sure if he was just trying to distract YHC for a breather or if him and Ringer took the same drugs this morning that made them see things in the dark.

Thanks again for posting and everyone have a Safe and Merry Christmas!
