Another rainy day Q by YHC. It seems as if we’re ever in a drought, just get YHC to Q and the flood gates will open. Since it’s December, we’re going with a Christmas themed workout. Leppard casually strolls in at 17:29:59:999 so we get started.

Warmup:

The usual. Well, not really. Freight can’t follow simple directions. Leppard had to stop for jock strap/ equipment adjustment. All in attendance were shocked and appalled. He attempted to blame the issue on a co-worker having an accident at work (which confused everyone). What does that have to do with him adjusting his junk?. Whatever. You vs. You.

Thang:

Mosey the long way around to the parking lot beside the closest turd shack for the 12 days of Christmas Slaw style. It went like this:

  • 1 – Kraken Burpee
  • 2 – Mike Tysons
  • 3 – Flutter Licks (IC)
  • 4 – CDD’s
  • 5 – Burpees
  • 6 – Reverse Crunches
  • 7 – Big Boys
  • 8 – Hand Release Merkins
  • 9 – Sumo Squats
  • 10 – Plank Jacks (IC)
  • 11 – Monkey Humpers (IC)
  • 12 – SSH (IC)

We performed the exercises just like the song. 1 Kraken Burpee, then 2 Mike Tysons, 1 Kraken Burpee, etc. A few things to note during this evolution: 1) All the ab work forced Purple Haze and Blart to pretty much crap their pants (which stunk up the workout). 2) Once we passed the 5 Burpee point, YHC swears he heard the sound of cats meowing. Maybe not. 3) During the 10 Plank Jacks, Def Leppard lost control of his arms and face planted the asphalt. Workout had to be paused because we couldn’t stop laughing. 4) Once the workout resumed, Broke almost blew a knee out on the first round of Monkey Humpers. YHC didn’t believe the workout was too difficult but the old guys are dropping like flies.

We barely made it out alive to get in a round of Red Barchetta.
