I really wanted to get my hands on some dongers this morning but I was careless and left my can of Raid at home and knew the chances of them being spider-free would be slim. I made the mistake of taking a flashlight to the pile before everyone arrived. I almost went back home and crawled in bed. I had to come up with a plan B on the fly…

WARMUP

15 SSH / 25 Cut da Grasses IC / 25 MC IC

WORK

21-15-19: pull ups / dips / burpees

Everyone grabs a block and lines them up in the grass ~ 3-4 feet apart.

-Burpee block jump-overs: starting east-bound and performing one burpee then jumping over the block; next PAX in line begins when first PAX is two blocks deep. PAX not working holds plank. Repeat heading west-bound when all PAX complete first round.

-Curls/OH press: starting east-bound and performing 40 curls, move to next block for 40 OH presses. Repeat for 30/30, 20/20, and 10/10. PAX not working holds squat.

-Merkins: starting east-bound and performing 1 merkin with right hand on first block, moving over for 1 merkin with left hand on block, moving over for 1 merkin between blocks, moving over for 1 merkin with right hand on next block, etc. ad nauseam. Repeat heading west-bound when all PAX complete first round.

Circle up with blocks for ab Mary:

10 BBSUs with block / 20 American hammers (without block) IC

9 BBSUs with block / 20 American hammers (without block) IC

8 BBSUs….” ”

7 BBSUs….” ”

-I was already on edge because of the multi-family units occupying the spider houses so I might have overreacted when I was startled by a cicada while performing a betwixt-the-block merkin. In my defense, those things are as big as a small bird, make a lot of racket, and it was right in my face. I’ll have my man-card punched as soon as I find it…

-BenGay texted me the day before to ask what work was being done so he could possibly replicate en quarantaine and I mentioned the spider houses. He asked that we thought about him playing with his dongers while we played with ours. Quarantine has not treated this man well.

-Going first in front of Crayola on the block line is solid motivation to keep working. He doesn’t half-@$$ anything. His words, not mine.

-Encinoman and Pothole are built like linebackers with those beefy shoulders, so merkins between the blocks were comical.

-Dempsey said hey this morning and breathed heavily during the workout. That’s about all we could get out of him. Silent but deadly, this one.

-Foreclosure’s burpees (pronounced bur-PEES in this context) are a thing of beauty.

-Sugar left early.

Respectfully yours,

Inspector
