899 Reps with Virtual Deck of Cards

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.

MILGA WRAP at Lazarus

Last WO of the year at Lazarus.

Poppins had EH’d an F&G, so a proper disclosure was given with an introduction to FOOPC. We did a short warm‑up in the parking lot while getting to know F&G, then headed to the circuit.

Mapped a quarter‑mile loop using Google Maps’ measure feature, with four stations and four different exercises at each station, each with a proper rep count, just enough where form matters and not enough if cheating yourself. My rough math made me think that would total two miles, but it’s actually just one mile, another reminder, not a professional.

Kept the group together in lieu of letting spring chickens run for fellowship and FNG welcoming. Goose was hungry for EC, had a taste and back to COT for MARY.

Proper interrogation of FNG led to name Elmer Fudd.

Prayers for better parenting, aging family members, and discernment in season of waiting.
