Hello, Dolly!

On this day in 1997, a team of British scientists working under the direction of Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh announced the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first clone of an adult mammal.

In celebration of this scientific feat, YHC incorporated the concept of cloning into this morning’s routine.

Warm – o – Rama:

• 20x IC SSH
• 10x IC Slow Squat
• 10x IC Slow Merkins
• 10x IC Bat Wing
• 10x IC Mountain Climbers

The Thang:

Routine 1:

Instead of performing two different exercises while running 11’s, we “cloned” the first exercise (Merkins) on the other side.  So we ended up doing Merkins on both side and ended up with 220 Merkins total

Routine 2:

In a circle, YHC called out a single Burpee for the group.  Next person to the right “cloned” the burpee and called out a 2 count over head clap.  Next person to the right “cloned” the burpee and 2 overhead claps and called out 3 air squats.  The ask was for each PAX in line to remember what the previous exercises were and build on them.  If a PAX forgot one of the exercises, the penalty for the group was 10 burpees.  Thankfully, we made it all the way to 12 PAX without forgetting any of the previous exercises.  Unfortunately, we ran out of time before we could get all the way through all 17 PAX.

Here’s what we ended up doing:

• 1 burpee
• 1 burpee, 2 over head claps
• 1 burpee, 2 over head claps, 3 air squats
• 1 burpee, 2 over head claps, 3 air squats, 4 IC Side Shuffle Hops

COT:

We prayed for the continued improvement of Lazarus’s condition (Count Chocula’s Father) and Rambler’s family as they gather around his Mother this week.
