AO: The Rock
Q: Endo ,
PAX: Rebate, Roomba, Elmer’s, Sledge-O-Matic, Rocketman, Peaches, Xerox, Endo, Mad Dog, Penalty Box, Rockwell, BloodClot
FNGs: None
COUNT: 12
What had happened was: Endo led a real warm up – things like imperial walkers, stretches, low slow squats (actually low and actually slow). This may surprise you but merkins, side-saddle hop, burpees, murder bunnies and the like.. are not legit warm-up exercises. The main set was a “masher’s style” set where each pax leads 2 rounds of 2 exercises. Almost immediately Elmer’s creatively figured out a work around by considering each arm of a lawn mower pull a separate exercise. The Rock leadership consulted senior counsel and technically Elmer’s “brilliant” move was within the rules. We had a great session this morning and we made it almost all the way around the circle doing the 2 x 2 exercises except Mad Dog got robbed in the end as we ran out of time before we could start his combo of chest presses / skull crushers (darn it).
