7 pax got out bed at the crack of dawn and planted the virtual shovel flag at Devil”s Ridge. Doogie kindly offered to Q since YHC was a definite maybe for this workout. Doogie then kindly weaseled his way out at 4:40 am. Luckily YHC had an ace up his sleeve. An Ace of Pain, that is…alright, that sucked…we can”t all be as wordsmithy as Sweats…
Also, 5 pax got some EC pull-ups in. This is a hard EC, by the way. 100 or so pull-ups (more if you”re Assisi, less if you”re YHC) with KB swings. Throw in some dead hangs, and you”re feeling as strong as a 6 year old boy at the end. Would love to have more dudes out there, if for no other reason than to have more time between sets of pull-ups.
Anyway, back to the main event…
Warmup:
Arms circles, good mornings, overhead claps, imperial walkers
Light jog to the law school
Derkins x 25
Toe tappers x 30
Box jumps x 10
Single leg squats x 20 each leg
Repeato x 2 (sub in irkins and then straight up merkins)
Mosey on over to the hill, no wait, the B-school. Audible here. Might have had something to do with the cold. Might have had something to do with not wanting to run hills. Anyway, to the B-school pullup bar (why is this there, by the way? One of the mysteries of life, I suppose). Pax were greeted by a surprise at the bar. Two 1 inch ropes were tied to the pullup bar. YHC was as unpleasantly surprised as anyone.
Rope hold pullups x 10, run 100 yards and back, rest of pax do 10 merkins/10 air squats on repeat. Went through this twice, second time with alternating 10 count high then low plank.
Back to the law school for 25 derkins, 20 dips.
Back to the start for a 1-10 merkin pyramid.

– Where was Doogie?
– Really hit the pain ceiling today. Or was it the roof? Is this old yet? Gonna try to milk it for a few more days.
