Happy “Halloween”

CONDITIONS:
A dense fog rolled in just as the workout was ready to begin. It was a comfortable 66% with 95% humidity (yet for some reason Zamboni had on 2 shirts, one of which was long sleeve & he had beanie)

WARM UP:
– 20ish SSH
– 10 Burpees (CO2 was late)
– 10 LBAC Fwd
– 10 LBAC Bwd
– 10 Toy Soldiers

THE THANG – “HALLO”:

– **H** Hail Mary:** 10 reps. (Partnered up, tables. First man planking on ground, second man with his legs on first back doing dips with his hands on picnic table. Partner A dips, partner B Merkin. flapjack after each set.)
– **A** – **Alternating Shoulder Tap Merkins:** 20 reps
– **L** – **Leroy Jenkins:** Leeroy Jenkins is gaming slang for a person or thing that causes everything to go wrong for everyone else, usually in some extraordinary fashion. Whatever the Q called, no matter the routine, if someone can call out “LEEROY JENKINS” and PAX must quickly line up at the sidewalk for a sprint. The official version calls for 5 burpees at the end of the sprint – YHC forgot that. Each Pax were only allowed to call once).
– **L** – **Lunge:** Across the field and back
– **O** – **One Legged Burpee:** 10 reps (5 each leg).

**THANG 2 – “WEEN”: Bench Bonanza**

– **W** – **Bench Wide Derkins:** 20 reps.
– **E** – **Bench Elevated Leg Erkin:** 10reps w/ Right leg elevated. 10 w/ Left Leg Elevated
– **E** – **Bench Explosive Erkins:** 20 reps. Fire the Fast Twitch.
– **N** – **Bench Narrow-Grip Derkins:** 20 reps. Otherwise known as Diamond Derkins but I needed an “N”.

**THANG 3 : Pull-Up Power**

– Wide-Grip Pull-Ups: 10 reps.
– Close-Grip Pull-Ups: 10 reps.
– Chin-Ups: 10 reps.
– Hanging Leg Raises: 10 reps.
– Hanging Ab Crunch: 10 reps 4 count (in front 1 + side left 2 + side right 3 + front 4 = 1)
– One-Arm Hang (each arm):** 15 seconds was planned. YHC opted against this as it was attempted prior to the Beatdown w/ limited success.

**THANG 4:**
– Run to basketball court – sideline.
– Alligator Merkin. Most Pax sucked at this so we will need to do it again. The idea is, while in down Merkin position you crawl forward, LOW, like an Alligator. Move hand one forward while LOW, move hand 2 forward (still low). Once you’ve advanced you do a Merkin up, then down and advance forward again. Sideline to sideline. In large the form was pathetic, this will be seen again w/ penalty for not doing the exercise correctly (unless of course you’ve got a doctors note).
– BearCrawl sideline to sideline

**THE THANG 5**
– 4 minutes of Mary

During the workout “Leroy Jenkins” was called an untold number of times. 20 pax posted, it wasn’t called 20 times but it certainly served as a disruptor. If the burpees were added, it may not have been as popular!
