That…was painful.  3 men rounded out the final week of the IronPax challenge.  All in 41 minutes or less.  Watch out: Murder Bunnies coming to an AO near you…

I’m thankful for the fitness, fellowship, and accountability from the last 5 weeks.  Go out Saturday and give it a try!

      ***BRING YOUR OWN COUPON (aka Cinderblock- 35-pound weight minimum is the goal)***

       

      THE THANG:   1 Round For Time

      10 Burpee Block Jump Overs (BBJO)
      Murder Bunny 25yds
      25 Thruster
      Return to the goal line with your block

      10 Burpee Block Jump Overs (BBJO)
      Murder Bunny 50yds
      50 Alternating block merkins
      Return to the goal line with your block

      10 Burpee Block Jump Overs (BBJO)
      Murder Bunny 75yds
      75 Curl Presses
      Return to the goal line with your block

      10 Burpee Block Jump Overs (BBJO)
      Murder Bunny 100yds
      100 Block Windshield Wipers
      Return to the goal line with your block
      10 Burpee Block Jump Overs (BBJO)

      Standard for the Block Windshield Wipers:
      Sitting in the American Hammer position. Place block vertical (tall ways) directly in front of you. Starting with feet together on one side of the block, raise your feet over the block and touch your heels on the ground. That’s 1 rep. Back and forth each heel tap is a rep. Torso needs to be at approx 45deg angle from ground, knees bent, hands can brace ground or float in the air.

      Standard for the Alternating Block Merkins:
      Start with left hand on the block, right hand on the ground, perform 1 merkin. Then switch hands, right hand on the block and left hand on the ground and perform one merkin. Together it is 1 rep. 50 reps ultimately you’re doing 100 merkins.

      Standard for the Murder Bunnies:
      Stand with feet slightly more than shoulder width apart with block longways between them. Bend over and grab the block, lift it a few inches off the ground and move it fwd until you can’t reach. Then, put the block down, transition your weight to the block(thru your hands) and hop (think burpee) your feet back to where they are on either side of the block.

      Standard for the Burpee Block Jump Overs:
      Starting beside the block, perform a burpee, then jump (left or right) over the block. This equals 1 rep. Flapjack left and right over the block for 10 reps.

      Standard for the Curl Press:
      Start holding the block in the down position directly in front of your waist. Curl the block to your chest. At the top of the curl, transition to an Overhead Press. Press the block vertical until your arms are fully extended with your head between your arms. Once at the top, lower the block to the top of the curl and then back to the starting position.

14 Men Audibled to the Convention Center Overflow Parking Lot since Union Point was closed.  Fortunately, this workout was short on structured plans and long on how the cards turned…

Warm-O-Rama:

SSH IC x 15

Peter Parkers- Abe Vigoda Style (1-2-3 count left knee to left elbow, recover, 1-2-3 count right knee to right elbow, recover) IC x 20

The Thang:

Today’s workout brought to you by the F3 Workout Deck- Waterproof Beatdown Box Card Deck (Purchase Here!- https://f3.mudgear.com/products/f3-card-decks)

These cards are indeed waterproof (of sweat) and provide a hefty beatdown.  Card shuffling was observed and Unicorn cut the deck to reduce any concerns for a stacked deck.  Remember though, the house always wins.

We moseyed behind the convention center for roughly 1/4 of the deck, then to the cul-de-sac at the end of Craven St, where there was a quick scramble for an oncoming car; fortunately, a false alarm (Turn signals!)

Then on to City Hall, where the mumblechatter appropriately noted how this had become a (high-rep) legs workout.

Our last stop was Craven & S. Front St., where the deck began repeating, so we finished with 15 Irkins (Sorry Faulkner and Goose!).

 

Mary:

Rosalitas IC x 15

6 inches x 30 seconds, 4 inches x 30 seconds

Box cutters IV x 25
