“Can we go back to doing burpees?”

Iron Pax Challenge might have driven away some of the regulars at The Ricky Bobby.  Y’all need to come back, and bring a friend, because the rest of October is going to be worthwhile with an All-Star Q lineup.

Anyway, quality trumped quantity today as Blackout and Kool-Aid showed up ready to work.  After a quick warmup of SSH, Hillbilly walkers, and low-slow squats (10xIC) we moseyed to the back parking lot for 2 rounds of Triple Nickel.  Before we started, I advised that my shoulder feels messed up, so I wouldn’t call any shoulder exercises, but substitution of any form of Merkin would be acceptable.  Here were the Triple Nickels:
– Jump-squats, Nur, Big boys
– Apolo Ohno’s, Carioca, Star crunches

These took a bit of time since we traveled the long way across the parking lot.  We moseyed back towards the flag but stopped at a few light poles for mountain climbers.  Next we moseyed to the field and “found” a couple soccer balls just asking to be kicked in the goal.  Each shot would cost 3 burpees for a goal or 5 burpees for a miss.  We each took a shot from about 30 yards away.  Kool-Aid and Blackout hit dead center of the net like pros before I hooked it wide left.  11 burpees.  Next round, the “pros” shot from 10 yards further away.  Blackout nailed it like he has ice in his veins, but Kool-Aid pushed wide right.  I found the right form and scored from 30 yards.  11 more burpees.  Last round with everyone from 40 yards, we all missed.  Enough is enough, so we headed back to the flag for burpees and Mary until it was time.  Blackout provided the title quote after Kool-Aid mercilessly called 6-shooters and proceeded to count up to 10 on both sides.
