First we had the #bc-takeover.  Then YHC had the Q last week.  And then Soda reached out and asked if I could sub in for him.  So, three weeks in a row for a Chatham chucklehead to Q Hurricanrana.  I hope the men weren’t too fed up by now.  And, well, if they weren’t, I then stated that I had an idea for a workout that I hadn’t tested yet and requested that the guys be the proverbial guinea pigs.  And of course, they obliged, because that’s what the awesome Durham brethren do.

Warm-Up

• SSH
• Imperial Walkers
• Merkins
• Mountain Climbers

Note: I’m pretty sure that I did the overwhelming majority of the merkins at this point on my knees. Perhaps single-count merkins is a better option.   But, hey, we made it to the top level of the escalator.  Now to get back down –
