Bryce Harper Should Have Run This Out

Three strong gathered at the Source of Truth for an upper body beatdown.  For the record, the temp was a cool (sic) 71 degrees with a nice crisp 100% humidity.  Perfect weather for the final day of September.

Here’s how it went down:

COP
20 – Don Quixote’s
10 – Merkins
20 – Imperial Walkers
10 – Werkins
20 – LBCs
10 – Travolta Merkins
20 – Copperhead Squats
10 – Staggered Merkins (right high, left low)
20 – Side Lunges
10 – Staggered Merkins (left high, right low)

Mosey to the well lit baseball field for a Diamond Circuit. Start at home plate in plank. One person does exercise on the way to first base. When he reaches first base the second person comes out of plank and exercises his way to first. While second person is working his way to first base, first person does exercise on the base. When the second person reaches first the first person moves to second. Third person follows in sequence. Exercises were as follows:

– Lunge to first base
– Carolina Dry Docks at first
– Crab crawl to second
– Squats at second
– Bear crawl to third
– Diamond Merkins (naturally) at 3rd
– Crawl bear home
– Burpees at home

Repeato x3. If you don’t understand I created some ASCII-art to help the visualize the pain.

Light turnout but strong effort from the PAX. YHC took the liberty of formulating a baseball themed workout given this is the final week of the regular season. After the Punisher and No Toll this week YHC couldn’t handle too many leg exercises so the focus was above the waist. Lug Nut and Two Can impressed me with their dedication during the crawling exercises between bases of the Diamond Circuit. It may have been a mirage, but those bases seemed to get farther apart each inning.

YHC learned some new things about the two dedicated PAX members that showed up at SoT. Lug Nut disclosed that his favorite exercise is none other than the burpee and he can do it better than anyone else in the PAX. YHC thought of obliging and throwing in 4.5 minutes of burpees instead of mary but stuck with the original plan. Pickle Pounder was too interesting of an exercise not to try out.

Two Can came out with a vengeance. However, at some point during the third inning YHC think Two Can swallowed a SodaStream^TM as there were volumes of carbonation erupting from Two Can.

Nice work guys.  SOT is a great AO for a sports themed workout.
