MOLESKIN:

A month ago old man winter decided to intervene in the personal improvement project that is the LGN invitational. YHC was not deterred and even received song refs from Avril who decided to skip 🪦.

In the 6 am group, only AA had a strong idea of what we were doing. Other pax were like, “something, something fitness test”. YHC decided to mix it up this year with two changes, remixed exercises and doing the runs on top of the parking deck.

Mumberchatter was varied thoroughly the workout. Proper Wiping technique was discussed and an article was shared internally to ensure all pax practice good hygiene. Pax also debated YHC’s scientifically backed method of counting down reps vs. counting up reps. Got to trust the science.

Ina shared his daughter was disappointed more Kpop groups didn’t win the Grammys. YHC was surprised people still watch the Grammys but did include two Blackpink songs in the playlist, which lets be honest is more important than a Grammy.

Slippy wanted to know if I found the playlist on a iPod shuffle that was on the ground. I did not but I did find some of them from an old playlist from high school which is kind of the same.

Draper decided to pull an Antman / YHC and show up after the workout started but promised to make up for it by writing an autobiography detailing his Mad Men / advertising days.

6am PAX also discussed how crushed 7am pax would be when they showed up and saw the workout, answer… pretty crushed. Especially the burpee squat burpee Merkin starter #GetSome.

Quality of Perfect Weeks was discussed with strong shade thrown at Sex Panther’s perfect week. Which with must be answered with a savage workout.

YHC thanks everyone for coming out especially new Pax who probably hoped for an easier workout.

RIP MARY

36 Burpees – We had completed 34 burpees during the workout; so, YHC decided to gas the PAX by adding that + 2 burpees because the holidays are coming!

CIRCLE OF TRUST

YHC hoped that all PAX stayed off and enjoy the holiday season

MOLESKIN

While the workout may appear random here were YHC’s inspirations for each exercise.

1 cossack squat – Movie starts in a Kyiv opera house

2 Burpees – In a buddy film, you and your buddy need to be in good shape

3 WWI Situps – Movie is about preventing WW3

4 Merkins – You meet your nemesis, who is in a ‘its complicated’ relationship with your love interest, + you + your buddy = a merry gang of 4

5 Mountain Climbers – The movie took five years to write, which seems to YHC like climbing a mountain

6 squats – Can’t forget leg day before you hit up the beach

7 plank jacks – PAX were chasing after Plutonium-241

8 Russian Hammers – PAX needed to go to Russia for their final challenge

9 Ski Abs – Pax needed to escape down a mountain by skiing

10 Star Jumps – The director thought about the movie for a decade / the PAX just saved the world.

Reversal – YHC wanted to implement a Temporal Pincer Movement tclaps to Teasip for actually understanding this.

Movie Review: 3 Red Stars, if you like WTF action movies this is for you. If not, then there are likely better options.

Mumblechatter was mostly limited other than PAX asking YHC for his opinion of the movie and Teasip and I discussing it. YHC encourages more PAX to incorporate deceptively easy workouts with some backwards running to increase the difficulty.
