7 HIMs weren’t afraid of the temperatures in the teens and made it out to The Green Mile for a little Deck of Cards workout. Crabgrass continues his streak of workouts in shorts and a t-shirt, but did admit that his teeth were cold today. According to his chattering chompers, here is how it all went down:
Warm-up: Mosey around the school to the bus parking lot where YHC anticipated conducting the workout, however the lights were off making it hard to see the cards. Continued warm up with IC exercises including SSH, Helicopters, Deadman Hang, Ukranian Soldiers, Merkins, Wilson’s/Fudd’s Wife and Roscoe’s Mom. Moseyed back to the main parking lot for the main event.
Deck of Cards Workout: Each PAX member flips the top card and performs # shown for repetitions – Hearts = Hand Release Merkins, Diamonds = Dips on the Curb, Spades = Jump Squats, Clubs = Carolina Dry Docks, J/Q/K = 2 Count Flutter Kicks x 11-13 reps, Ace = Burpees x 10, Joker = Dealer’s Choice, Red Card = Run to # shown parking space and back
Round 1 – Normal deck of cards style with rules above
Round 2 – Call the card higher or lower – If incorrect, sprint to the next curb and back to perform above rules. First Joker appeared pulled by Hermes – PAX circled up for 3 minutes of ring of fire with favorite Merkin followed by favorite ab exercise.
Round 3 – Call the card higher or lower AND red or black – If incorrect on high/low, Bernie to the next curb and back, if incorrect on red/back – perform 5 firecrackers and continue with above rules
Round 4 – Call the card’s number AND suit – If incorrect on number, Bernie to the next curb and back, if incorrect on the suit – perform 10 monkey humpers and continue with above rules
Round 5 – Running short on time as YHC tried to get too cute in Round 3 & 4, so back to normal deck of cards rules above. 2nd Joker appeared and YHC called an all out sprint to the curb, x 5 Burpees and back to continue with above rules. Somehow (PAX blaming YHC for stacking the deck?) we ended on an Ace with 10 Burpees and time was called.
Numbers, Names, Announcement (Woodsman’s VQ 12/16 at Alamo, Rosie’s 12 Days of Christmas 12/17 at No Toll – See EF Hutton if interested in Secret Santa), Prayers (Anonymous 5-year-old diagnosed with Lymphoma that Heist saw a random text on a guy’s phone at Costco, Wildcat’s family/friends battling illness, YHC’s coworker whose father is in Hospice, YHC’s mother in law battling cancer, Dumar’s Dad starting radiation tomorrow).
Thanks for coming out this morning fellas and pushing yourselves! Keep doing hard things!
