Creative Juices Flowing at Hammer

Columbia, SC, hammer / By / October 3, 2019 /

Today was my 1st boot camp Q since the conclusion of the Iron Pax Challenge.  I did all 4 IPC workouts (really 5 with week 0), and several of them 2 times in the week.  Therefore, I had no intention to use anything remotely related to the IPC – no blocks, no burpees, no lunges, no 400 meter runs, etc, etc.  On the other hand, the workout is supposed to be hard and not suck, so I started thinking about the next most annoying option after the IPC.  For my Qs, that’s always pull-ups.  For some reason I also kept coming back to Hustler merkins.  Then I decided to get creative and build off of that deplorable exercise with a new variation for legs and abs.  And voila, this morning in the gloom was born the Slumdog squats and Scrunchies!  11 PAX were lucky enough to get to the experience these new atrocities.

Conditions – hot and humid, Summer in October!
