The Meekin Fest

Location: Talon

 

PAX: Sunshine, Rapunzel, Snake Eyes, Cruiser, Weaver, Piddler, Tickle (Q)

 

Warmup:

SSH IC x25

CTG IC x10

 

The Thang:

Grab 2 blocks, head to upper parking lot.

5 stations around island – each station with one exercise followed by 10 Merkins.

Start with 10 of the exercise, increase by 5 every round, always doing 10 Merkins.

Stations: squats, leg raises, overhead press, 4-count flutter kicks, block pullovers

 

Announcements:

I’m sure there was something about the Merkin challenge, the upcoming Pistol convergence and the upcoming Columbia convergence. I’m sure it was also stated that we need as many packs of instant mashed potatoes as we can come up with.

 

Prayer Requests:

Probably a lot with these guys.

 

NMM:

Merkin challenge is going on, so I knew I either had to plan on a lots of Merkins – or no Merkins at all.

Decided to be nice and go with lots. Originally thought of a good old fashioned DORA in teams, but counting the Merkins would be too difficult for this challenged group so decided on a set circuit workout instead.

Each round was 50 Merkins total, and you can figure out how many rounds in the end you completed by how many reps you were doing when time called.

Was obviously not enough work for Sunshine and Rapunzel who were banging all this out, but did have a few stragglers hanging back in the back, probably sandbagging.

Hopefully everyone got in enough Merkins for the day – and were challenged enough by the workout.

Good to see Rapunzel and Cruiser out – has been too long.

This being a Thursday morning and our men’s bible study still going on (yes, it’s still a thing), YHC had to leave about 10 minutes early, so missed all the wrap-up.

 

Tickle out.
