THE THANG:
I titled our workout “July Challenge on Steroids”, since it was inspired by Dovetail’s July Challenge. It depended on a random draw from a deck of cards. The number of reps is determined by the denomination of the card: 2-5 = 15 reps; 6-10 = 16-20 reps; Face card = 20 reps; Ace = 30 reps.

The suit determined the two exercises to be performed. We partnered up, so one partner did one of the two and the other partner did the other exercise, then the partners swapped the exercises.

The actual exercises we did, as determined by the cards were as follows: 20 curls, 20 dips
20 curls, 20 dips
20 merkins, 20 jump squats
15 merkins, 15 jump squats
16 merkins, 16 jump squats
15 dry docks, 15 squats
15 merkins, 15 jump squats
30 merkins, 30 jump squats
20 dry docks, 20 squats
20 dry docks, 20 squats
15 yards murder bunnies, 15 yards broad jump
18 overhead press, 18 copperhead squats
15 high knees, 15 SSH – both in cadence
(at this point the Q was beat and declared 10 reps for the remainder, regardless of card denomination) 10 high knees, 10 SSH – both in cadence
10 overhead press, 10 copperhead squats
10 overhead press, 10 copperhead squats
15 yards murder bunnies, 15 yards broad jump
10 flutter kicks (4 is 1); Superman

Good job, PAX! That turned out to be tougher than I imagined. Recovery is gonna take me a few days.

MARY: No Mary. I think we all determined that just breathing was sufficient.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Krampus – sign up while it’s still half price.

COT: Texans dealing with the flood tragedy.
