A return to the arena we call The Colosseum; a homecoming if you will. That’s all that was at stake. With the increased Tuesday attendance and the added AO here in September for the Iron PAX Challenge presenting another posting opportunity, 11 other men decided to join me and a deck of cards at the Colosseum this beautiful morning. Fresh off a Labor Day beach trip, I was happy to ensure Jekyll & Hardwood wouldn’t be disappointed. We had a few rookies for the deck of cards but I hope they’ll incorporate this into their Q’s at a future date. While the first 15-20 cards can be manageable, don’t let that fool you. Depending on your choice of exercises, this gem will bite you. And today, I think most of us felt the effects of that bite.
With a request to focus on our time over the next 45mins and a disclaimer, we were off to the basketball hoops. Our warm-up consisted of:
Squats, Moroccan Night Clubs, Wide-Arm Merkins, Flutters, Freddy Mercuries
Run to the 6th light post up the back road followed by:
5 Burpees, 15 Diamond Merkins, 25 LBC’s
Run back to the hoops for the deck of cards.
If you’re one of the 3 people reading this and you’re unfamiliar with how this works, each card value represents a rep count. 2-10 is that number of reps while Jack =11, Queen=12, King=13 and Ace=14.
Diamonds = Burpees
Hearts = Jumping Lunges
Clubs = Merkins
Spades = Dips
I added 3 Jokers for good measure which meant each was worth 15 American Hammers
In total, we completed:
104 Burpees
104 Jumping Lunges
104 Merkins
104 Dips
45 American Hammers
We followed it up with some flutters in varying speed.
And that was it. See, not too bad.
Be present and I look forward to the next time.
