YHC conjured up 27 ghouls this morning at Boiler Room to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve & Reformation Day! A brisk 47 degree gloom greeted the Pax as we welcomed not one, but TWO FNGs.

WARMUP:

In honor of Martin Luther posting his 95 Theses, we extended the traditional RIO warm up consisting of 25 Repetitions, we completed a 95 rep Warm-O-Rama consisting of 20 SSH, 10 Good Am, 10 Sir Fazio Fwd, 10 Sir Fazio Rev. 20 Mtn Climbers, 1-2 cnt, 10 Willie May Hayes, & 10 Imperial Walkers.

THE THANG:

We set out on a Trick or Treat route to find Flush receiving a “Trick” sour note from the N.C.G.A & their now 15 years of deliberate incompetence. It drives him “Batty”!
Set of 7’s:

Bat Wing Merkins & Smurf Jack

We moseyed along to the back of the church where a “Treat” was waiting for our very own Boyz-II-Men. The only way to cool his often critical ire towards a wayward Q is to feed him a Wendy’s Frosty. Like a true F3 Champion, he began to eat it throughout the rest of the workout.

The ghastly crew were simply in search of candy when Jay-Z stumbled upon a “Treat” waiting for him out in the field, but with a catch…..
To earn his “Spooky Pumpkin” treat, Jay-Z & Co. had to complete a Ten Round, 31 Rep per exercise circuit. Complete the 31 Reps, run a lap out to the pumpkin & back.

31- “East” Carolina Dry Docks
31- “Squads”
31- Plank Destroyers (Always a Favorite )
31- Lunges (Each Leg = 1)
31- World War One’s
31- Monkey Humpers
31-Star Jumps
31- Overhead Claps
31- Calf Raises
31- Burpees

As the time grew short & the sun threatened to dawn on our gathering, we had to complete one more round of Trick or Treating before anyone was rewarded with a piece of candy.
