Breaking Things Down and Building Things Up

January 30, 2020

AO: The Highlands

Q: Jag

PAX: Toolbox and DRPAX Crimson

Warm-Up: Seal Claps; Moroccan Night Clubs; LBAC; Imperial Squat Walkers; Potato Pickers; Willy Mays Hays; Plank Jacks; and Typewriter Merkins.

The Thang: The PAX moseyed to the corner of the soccer field for the first element of 15 Deconstructed Burpees – Squats.  En route to the next corner to perform the next element (Leg Thrusts), the PAX executed 15 Dwight Howards.  They continued their mosey to the benches for 15 Derkins and 15 Dips before arriving at the next corner for the third element of the Deconstructed Burpee – Merkins.  At the last corner, the PAX performed Leg Thrusts, but not before performing 10 Lt. Dans (1 squat followed by 4 lunges).  The PAX completed the lap by executing a COMPLETE MERKIN, which was an Inchworm Merkin, a Kraken Merkin (hands release), a Knerkin (knuckles), a Peter Parker Merkin, an Offset Merkin, a Diamond Merkin, a Werkin (wide) and a Carolina Dry Dock performed in succession.  Good times.

The PAX repeated the lap, but because HIMs are always striving to improve, the sets consisted of an extra rep (16 of most exercises, 11 Lt. Dans and 2 Complete Merkins).  The PAX also executed a set of Gas Pumpers.

The PAX did another lap, but in the interest of dropping a lot of names during Mary, this one consisted of just 17 Deconstructed Burpees and a half-field Bear Crawl.

Mary: Flutterkicks; Nolan Ryans; Penguins Crunches; Freddie Mercuries; James Bonds; a Complete Merkin; and a Typewriter Merkin.

COT: We spent our time this morning breaking exercises down into their component parts and building other exercises up.  Similarly, sometimes life’s challenges require you to break things down and simplify.  Other times, you have put things together to execute.  Out.
