Downrange:
Today’s Monday Motivation beatdown is actually conceived and brought to you by Jumbo but delivered by one of the other Pax as Jumbo couldn’t make the workout due to taking care of his M and 2.0 at home (well done Jumbo of modeling servant leadership at home!). This is exactly what Pax are for – we’ve got each other and Jumbo sent out a late (or maybe early) 3 a.m. text for backup. Apparently Jumbo didn’t want to run at all after his weekend festivities as he put together a coupon crushing, mentally challenging, 30 minute stay in your spot test. Read on to see if your Pax passed.
Warm up:
IC 20 SSH, IC 15 IW, IC 10 Merkins (4 count), IC 10 Mtn Climbers (4 count), IC 10 Don Quixote, IC 10 Low Slow Squat, OYO Stretch (focus on hammies)
Mosey 1/2 way around the block and back to startup
The Thang:
Pax expanded our circle, grabbed our coupons (amazingly we had extra and even Spacelaw had a bright shiny coupon), turned on the speaker, and launched a spotify 80s Rock playlist to accompany us during the challenge ahead. It may sound simple but the challenge builds as you go.
90 seconds for each round to complete the number of reps, 20 rounds total with rep count increasing each round:
- Round 1: 1 Dead Lift, 1 Curl, 1 Coupon Squat
- Round 2: 2 Dead Lifts, 2 Curls, 2 Coupon Squats
- …
- Round 20: 20 Dead Lifts, 20 Curls, 20 Coupon Squats
Mumblechatter was high in first few rounds. There was a negative correlation of mumblechatter to amount of reps (Smalls, I’m sure we could get a graph or chart based on some further analysis)…Pax stopped talking and there was more grunting once we got to low teens rounds. We finished up round 20 exactly at 6:30. Perfect timing. Pax passed the test.
CoT:
TaPs for Jumbo’s 2.0 and family, prayers for Honeybaked’s circuit of 4 sermons in 10 days (1 down and 3 to go), prayers for peace in Ukraine from Vertigo, and prayers for Swag’s friend going through some trials.
Naked Man Moleskin:
As mentioned by YHC, Pax had a lot of mumbler chatter in first few rounds – for example, is “Every Breath You Take” by the Police about a stalker? Should the song title on the album art including magazine letter cutouts (thank you Spacelaw)? Apparently, yes
