- SSH x2 IC
- Mtn Climbers x 20 IC
Mosey to the far end of the parking lot, past the entrance. Along the way stop for some in-cadence Bear Crawls and Crab Walks. Yep, that’s a thing now.
At the far end of the lot, some hateful person (YHC) had left the Beast. PAX hold plank while each man takes a turn on the Beast with 5 overhead presses. I had more planned for the Beast but we ran short on time. Sorry men – next time. 😊
Return to the baseball monuments and short wall at the site entrance for an oldie from the Aftershock days:
Four Quarters
The Four Quarters of 20s (like 11s, but more. Merkins and dips, start with 19 merkins + 1 dip, then 18 merkins + 2 dips, etc.)
- Five reps = End of 1st Quarter (15 merkins/5 dips)
- 10 reps = Halftime (10 merkins/dips)
- 15 reps = End of 3rd Quarter (5 merkins/15 dips)
- 20 reps = End of Game (1 Merkin/19 dips)
These REALLY sucked and YHC turned in some mightily piss-poor merkins. Apologies to the PAX for failing the “If you can’t do it, don’t Q it” test. I did ‘em, kinda, but they were lousy.
At the end of each quarter run to far corner of the parking lot for some combination of three of the following:
- 20 heel taps
- 20 Captain Crunches
- 20 Heels to Heaven
- 20 Russian Twist
- 20 LBCs
Indian Run return to flag to end spot on 0545.

T-claps: To Fish & Chips for reminding me that 8+8 does not equal 20. I checked it later when I could take my shoes off and he’s right!
