59 PAX celebrated YHC's 50th birthday with a game of F3 Clue. I am humbled and full of happiness and gratitude for all of your support. What a great group of men!
WARMUP:
- SSH
- Helicopters
- Good Mornings
- Sir Fazio Arm Circles
Get Off My Lawn (Proper Form) – 5 of each
- Flutter Kicks (straight leg/knee)
- LBCs (not a neck exercise)
- Box Cutters (make a square, not a kidney bean)
- Squats (butt moves first, not your head)
- Lunges (touch your knee to the ground)
- Merkins (all the way up and down)
THE THANG:
The PAX broke into four groups and were given two maps and detective notebooks. Their mission was to visit each of 12 "rooms" around the campus, gathering the Clue cards at each spot, performing the prescribed workout at each spot, and then moving on to the next "room." Each group divided themselves in half so each mini-group could visit six of the "rooms". They would then come back together at the flag, compare notes, and identify the killer, weapon, and AO where the murder occurred.
- Tennis Courts – 1 lap of Four Corners with 10 Merkins at the first corner, 20 Squats and the second, 30 LBCs at the third, and 5 Burpees back at start
- Lombard Street – Mosey down Lombard Street, performing 5 Get-Off-My-Lawn Merkins at each landing; Mosey back up, performing 5 Get-Off-My-Lawn Boxcutters at each landing
- ATM Machine (no longer there, whoops!) – Bear Crawl Merkins at each parking space
- Lake Ramp – 10 Inverted/Hanging Rows, Bear Crawl around ramp and back up stairs; Repeat
- Top of Garage 1 – descend stairwell, but stop at each level for 10 Get-Off-My-Lawn Flutter Kicks (L/R=1)
- Top of Garage 2 – descend stairwell, but stop at each level for 10 Get-Off-My-Lawn LBCs
- Rocks Near Garage – 15 Bent Rows, 15 Standing Shoulder Taps (L/R=1), 15 Manmakers (Goblet Squat to Curl to Press to Triceps Extension)
- Coupons – 15 Colt 45s, 15 Overhead Presses, 15 Triceps Extensions
- Seating Area Near the Bridge – I hate when people call these all in a row – 5 Merkins, Irkins, and Derkins down at the bottom of the seating area, run up and do 5 Dips at the window bench. Complete at total of three times.
- Hendrick Plaza – Set of 5s from the cafe tables, down the stairs, and into the dead-end area, starting with four Bulgarian Split Squats at the tables and one Diamond Merkin at the dead-end
- Mario Kart Track (Hendrick) – Paint the Lines with a Burpee at the end of each line
