Early Morning Burps:
Before the official start, Saltlick arrived early and immediately chose violence by doing burpees. Lighthouse joined shortly after, providing what can best be described as emotional support. With morale already questionable, the beatdown began.
Warm-Up (Mariner QIC):
– 10 burpees OYO (because obviously)
– Arm circles
– Dead Man Hang
– Crunches
– HRMs
Beatdown (Joey Chestnut QIC):
We deconstructed the burpee, starting at 10 reps and working down to zero, with a lunge walk between stations:
Downward dog jacks (FWJs)
Merkins
Jump squats
After completing the circuit, we moseyed to the curb facing the COT area and broad-jump-burpeed back to the start — proving that everyone had successfully learned to construct a burpee.
Triple Check #1 (Mariner QIC):
– Run to curb and back to barriers
– Donkey kicks on barriers
– WW2s
Triple Check #2 (Mariner QIC):
– Run to same curb and back
– HRMs (audibled to burpees on the third round, because growth)
– WW1s
Wrap-Up (Joey Chestnut QIC):
– Dead man hang
– Hello Dollies
– Heels to Heaven
– APDs
Highlights:
- Joey Chestnut’s and Mariner’s first QIC, safe to say everyone was ‘Marinutted’
- No official theme; however, burpees.
- Saltlick either absolutely loved todays workout or despised it
- Lighthouse regrets starting his burpee journey early with Saltlick
PAX ended in COT:
- As we grew together this morning, we should be encouraged to help someone else grow in the world today
- Prayers for those in a job hunt, in need of healing, especially those struggling in silence, and for the Friends of Barnabas upcoming trip to Honduras
