It wasn’t the furious Washington Generals playing their part as the arch nemesis to the world famous Globetrotters that made for such a competitive competition. It was, as in many cases, the world wide pandemic! On this balmy and heavy morning, the Globetrotters looked considerably shorter, not quite so athletic and extremely rusty as the air balls dropped short of their target and the burpie count continued to rise. There was no bubble, cameras, or distractions. Simply a test of strength, grit and endurance, like so many have crushed before. Game on!

Warm up:
– SSH 20 IC
– Grass pickers 10 IC
– Plank jacks 10 IC
– Merkins 10 IC
– Squats 10 IC
– LBCs 10 IC

Grab the Kettle bell and let’s roll. 1/4 mile run to Spiderman’s hideout.
Light up the court and start the burn.

1st Quarter
Each Pax takes a turn shooting a free throw shot.
You make = 1 Burpie
You miss = 3 Burpies

Meanwhile the rest are doing:
– bear crawl up the driveway
– 15 LBCs
– Lunge back down
– 10 Kettle bell swings
Repeat until all PAX complete the shot & burpies

2nd Quarter
Each Pax takes a turn shooting a free throw shot.
You make = 1 Burpie
You miss = 3 Burpies

Meanwhile the rest are doing:
– bear crawl up the driveway
– 10 crunchy frogs
– Crab walk back down
– Squat, Curl, Press w/ Kettle bell
Repeat until all PAX complete the shot & burpies

3rd Quarter
Huddle – Each Pax takes a turn shooting a free throw shot.
You make = Everyone 1 Burpie

Not a shot was made which meant many rounds of 5 burpies! To be sure, they are rusty.
