Downrange:
Did you know that there are actually 12 seasons in Georgia? YHC saw a meme that caught my eye that explained this meteorological mystery – that we are actually in Third Winter. Yes, that’s the return to freezing temperatures after a beautiful stretch of Spring-like days prior to the pollen coating that awaits. To keep the PAX from shriveling like early blooms on a vine, I knew I had to get heart rates moving fast and staying up the entire beatdown. And, with it being post Super Bowl (congrats to Ram’s Matthew Stafford, obligatory UGA shoutout) Monday, we all needed something to burn off last night’s cheese dip [insert favorite caloric cheat]. But wait, there’s more; it’s also Valentine’s Day so I wanted to give the PAX something more than just a beatdown. YHC curated a Super Bowl LVI Half Time inspired playlist AND a heart titled playlist for the PAX to choose for their musical enjoyment. What did the PAX choose? Well, read on.
Warm up:
We started with mistake right at the start with YHC calling for Manmaker’s instead of Motivators. Thankfully, Swag quickly reoriented me – see we all need each other.
- Motivators, 10 IC
- High Knees, 15 IC
- Don Quixotes, 15 IC
- Merkins, 10 IC
- Imperial Walkers, 10 IC
4 minutes of Burpee/Squat Ladder, 1 burpee, 1 squat, 2 burpees, 2 squats… you get the idea for 4 minutes
All Pax were sufficiently warm, heart rates were way up, and last night’s Super Bowl contents in bellies were sufficiently shaken.
The Thang:
Pax grabbed a coupon and moved over to the Rig for the first part of our beatdown. The offer was given for choice of playlists mentioned above, and the Pax were in the mood for some heart. Who am I to not give them what they want? So I hit play on the Spotify Playlist and the below set began.
- 10 pull-up buy in
- 10 blockees w/coupon
- 20 thrusters w/coupon
- 30 Kettle bell swings w/coupon
- 40 Big Boy situps
- Run down hill to Ami St. and back, plank for 6
Rinse and repeat 2 times
Mosey to parking lot for King of Hearts
King of Hearts
Series of suicides of varying variety (e.g, regular, karaoke suicides, bernie sanders) in the parking lot; we only made it through the karoake suicides
Circle of Pain (COP) Heart Merkins
Circle up at the starting point for a heart merkin (similar to diamond merkin but with heart shape hand) where one at a time Pax performed 10 heart merkins while other Pax held plank
Ended with stretch led by Jumbo.

Naked Man Moleskin:
We missed Buttercup (rumor has his 2.0 stole his keys) and there was a Smalls sighting on his 11 mile run
