899 Reps with Virtual Deck of Cards

Leave a comment

Since snowmageddon partly melted yesterday and refreezed on the roads overnight, I offered up a virtual beatdown again. Last time was the spinning wheel, so I figured the next iteration should be a deck of cards. For all of our <#C08ST83CF1T> friends, I used Manus to build a customized deck of cards that we used for the workout. Bureeps, Shoulder Taps (increments of 4) Merkins (increments of 2) and Big Boys (increments of 2) and 2 jokers of 30 and 50 squats. In case anyone wants to play with it at a future date: https://exercisedeck-zacxsa5x.manus.space/

THE THANG: I hit deal and we did whatever the card showed. It feel like a lot of shoulder taps to start. A lot of merkins in the middle and finished with burpees and big boys. All told, we did 91 Burpees, 364 shoulder taps, 182 Merkins, 182 big boys, and 80 squats. That’s 899 reps. We then added some Mary, which got us over 900 reps for the 45-minute session.

MARY: Hello Dollys, LBC, American Hammers

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break the Dam moved to 2/28/26. Bethel Shelters 2/5. Lots of guys are there because of the cold right now. Yetti Challenge. Read your newsletter for a leaderboard update.

COT: Prayers for healing. Lots of people who have some serious medical issues they are dealing with right now in each person’s circle.

Holiday Pain Games at Golden Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick mosey to Dogtopia for Moroccan Night Clubs, Mountain climbers and merkins
THE THANG: Two cones were placed in front of the closed dental office with one saying “over” and one saying “under”. Two similar cones were also placed at the far end of the lot by Bubbles and Bows. The game was simple…YHC would read a thoroughly internet researched and irrefutable Christmas fact. The fact would then be slightly altered and the Pax would run to the far end of the lot and stand in front of the “over” or “under” to choose their answer. The true fact would be read and those who chose the wrong side of the answer did more reps than those who got it right. For example, the Pax were told that tinsel was invented in the year 1700. Those who chose the “under” (invented in 1610) did less reps than those who chose the over.
We did 18 rounds and briefly swapped out bear crawls (shorter distance) for running. Exercises included, in varying reps, SSH, Mike Tysons, Plank Jacks, CDD, Monkey Humpers, Squats, American Hammers, Burpees, Hand release merkins, Shoulder taps, Dips, Merkins, Overhead claps, Calf raises, Supermans, and bomb Jacks. Total mileage was 1.7 miles with plenty of reps thrown in.
MARY: Unavailable due to her pending labor in two days and the need for adequate shelter
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence, Upcoming site location changes
COT: Families
