Lady Luck and a Deck of Cards

YHC took the snakepit Q at the last minute Monday night. Luckily I have some go-to workouts in the back pocket. Prior to F3 YHC worked out in his garage. Sometimes I didn’t want to put too much mental energy into coming up with a smoker. On those days my default was lady luck and deck of cards. YHC has not flipped the cards in quite some time (thanks for F3)—but today seemed like a good day.

Warm-up – mosey around the track

Corner 1 – SSH (20 IC)

Corner 2 – IW (20 IC)

Corner 3 – TTT (20 IC)

Corner 4 – LBAC (10 each way IC)

Mosey to the back of the end zone below the big stairs

Its simple. Four exercises with rep counts equal to the card number. Face cards are 10 reps. Aces—up the big stairs.

Hearts: Burpees

Diamonds: Squat Jumps (squats if necessary)

Clubs: V-ups (or big boy sit-ups if necessary)

Spades: Merkins (hand clap merkins of you are feeling froggy)

In total:

  • 84 Burpees
  • 84 Merkins
  • 84 Squat Jumps
  • 84 V-ups
  • 4 sets of big stairs

Moleskin

We made it through the deck right on time. YHC was trying to take it easy on the PAX after a couple of beatdowns during the last 2 Q’s. I don’t know if YHC was still feeling the effects of the P200, but the workout seemed to be more difficult that I recalled. Perhaps it was the pace, not much downtime or mumble chatter. After couple back-to-back face cards of burpees and merkins, then a set of stairs—things get serious.

Welcome FNG Sandberg. Came with Honeybun Naming -> Sells conveyer belts -> Cardinals Fan -> Cubs are rival -> famous Cub -> Ryan Sandberg -> Sandberg it is. Sandberg actually lives in Atlanta, so appropriate references were made.

Props to Honeybun for being an EH machine.

Announcements

Work day Saturday at Camp Nehemiah—talk to Misty or Estrada for details.
