Heading into a post Christmas, pre New Years workout, only one thing was on everyone’s mind, Die Hard! Zook put out the challenge of a Die Hard themed workout, and YHC was set to deliver. Unfortunately no good ideas came to mind, so a half assed attempt to tie a workout in to Die Hard was made instead. The result was still a tough workout, just not as relevant as hoped.  

Warmup:

SSH IC x 20

Overhead Clap

Arm Circles

The Thang:

The original idea was a bit of a Dora take off and involved pairing off, but we had 5. Quick change in plans, two groups of 2 and YHC would do both roles. The PAX would alternatively climb Nakatomi Tower and secure the lobby.

Die Hard (the original):

Partner 1 will do the climbing exercise, partner 2 will secure the lobby. Then switch:

Climb Nakatomi Tower: Grizzcalator

Secure the lobby: Squat

Climb Nakatomi Tower: Everest Climber

Secure the Lobby: LBCs

Take a recovery lap as intermission between films

Die Hard 2 – Die Harder

Climb Nakatomi Tower: Grizzcalator with 2 merkins per stop

Secure the lobby: Reverse Lunge

Climb Nakatomi Tower: Everest Climber with 2 squats per step

Secure the lobby: WWIIs

Take a recovery lap as intermission between the films

Die Hard with Vengeance (and Sam Jackson)

Climb Nakatomi Tower: Grizzcalator with 3 merkins per step

Secure the lobby: Jump Squats

At this point Hans was definitively dead (also time was out) so the triple Everest climbers never happened.

Mary:

Once again, Hans had been dropped from the window and Al Powell (AKA Carl Winslow) had already delved deeper into his PTSD by shooting Karl, so no time for Mary.
