Kettlebell ARMAPs were on the agenda for today and unfortunately for the Pax, the voice from my timer app was not sexy enough. “Work”, “Halfway there” and “3,2,1” were about all it said. I will get Splinter to work on a Circus Maximum version. Requirements:
- Break wind on every exercise from our Six
- Have White Deer (missing today) make silly comments, mostly about Atilla, that we ignore
- Count in German and Spanish
- Insert “that’s what she said” every few minutes
- Be critical about form with a little encouragement every now and then.
- Grumble when the word “Burpees” is heard
While waiting for that upgrade, we did the following:
Warmups of SSH, Ukrainian Soldiers, Cherry Pickers, Arm circles, Reverse Crunches and LBCs.
First round of AMRAPs: 60 seconds per exercise, 15 seconds rest-every other exercise does not include the bell; Halos, Merkins, Swings, Heals to Heaven, Mowers, LBC, Goblet Squat, Jump Squats, Teapots, Lunges (no bell). Took a lap for some sort of break
Second round of AMRAPs: 60 seconds per exercise, 15 seconds rest-every other exercise does not include the bell. I took some requests: Overhead pulls, Merkins, Chest press, Heals to Heaven, Mowers, LBC, Goblet Squat, Jump Squats, Curls, Lunges (no bell). Took another lap for a break.
Running out of time we did one round of High Pulls and then wall sit. Then back to the flag for some Mary of WW2, Flutters & hold 6 inches for the last 30 seconds. No Burpees from me for the second time in a row. Don’t worry, they will come back with a vengeance.
