The Truth
First things first — it’s all love and respect for Singlet and the boys over at Ignition, but let’s go ahead and call out the bald-faced lie Gerber put out there that “it’s the length of the weinke that matters.”
Everyone knows it’s how you use it.
Right? I’m right right? I mean I’ve heard that.
And today… YHC used it irresponsibly.
The Thang
The PAX were way none too happy when we launched with burpees before the mosey. And the Christmas spirit continued to fall from their joy as they realized we’d be doing more burpees during throughout the opening mosey. I not only saw the mood shift from optimistic to “I should have posted at Ignition” but well I quite literally heard it
After a mile, 20 burpees we hit Station 1, finally did about 90sec of stretching, then off to Station 2, and nowhere near reasonable.
It kinda looked like this…
7s – Mike Tysons at the top of stairs &
Squats at the bottom
Followed by…
1/8-mile loops between every 25-rep exercise
Step-ups, merkins, dry docks, Bonnie Blairs, big boys, Flutters
And finally… a bear crawl to the end of the world
Somewhere around lap 4 Chastain muttered “this is stupid” and on our way back to COT Ice9 whispered “that was a pretty good Q”.
When you get these tires of superlatives from those types of PAX you know you struck the proper balance of misery and effectiveness — and that several other PAX are probably cursing your name under their breath.
Maybe it was the 3.5 miles we covered.
Maybe it was the lack of stretching.
Maybe it was the up, down, around, repeat.
Either way, YHC narrowly escaped another near mutiny.
