The Thang

The plan was to do as many merkins (different varieties) as we could (via string of pearls – Floyd taught me today).

We crossed the line (symbolically) from warm up to ME and started in place with

Wide-grip merkins X 10

Standard merkins X 10

Diamond Merkins X 10

Slow Merkins X 10

T-Merkins X 10

We then moseyed to the basketball court for travelling merkins across the baseline, then bear crawled the sideline. After one full clock-wise rotation, we went back the other way counter-clockwise – travelling merkins across the baselines and lunge walk down the sidelines. (~80 merkins)

We then moseyed to the swings for some swerkins (X10) which we alternated with squats, and threw in some Australian pull-ups….We then moseyed to the concrete stairway leading to the picnic tables. We formed a centipede and followed single file up the stairway, performing an irken at every other step. (10 merkins). We bear crawled to the picnic tables and then performed 3 sets of 10 derkins (30). I think we did 3 sets of 10 irkens (30).

We then moseyed to the grid next to the basketball court. The grid has 8 squares wide and 8 squares long. Each Pax completed 7 circuits of merkins. Each pax was to do 10 reps of each variety of merkin through the row (one before each square in the row and one after the last square in each row) they started at and once they completed that row, move on to the next row/merkin variety. The reward was Floyd Planks. The variety of merkins was as follows standard (10), wide-grip (10), diamond (10), slow (10), T-Clap (10), Hand release (10), Off-Set Merkins (10).

We then moseyed back to the launch site for…
