The scariest workout of 2020 took place this morning at the stadium, and if you missed it, well, you missed out. It started out for YHC with the most terrifying thing of all: I woke up and it was 5:26. I had screwed up the alarm and was about to be a Ghost Q. There was no choice but to make like one of the fast zombies in I Am Legend, and 10 minutes later I was at Gate 6, where I found the PAX looking for me by leaning upside down against a wall. It looked unpleasant.
From there I took over, and so began my reign of terror in the gloom. They’d already warmed up so we jumped straight into The Thang. We moseyed down to the lower parking lot for …
Undead Lt. Dan
This modification of our favorite leg workout involves a Zombie Walk (arms out straight, legs extend forward on each step with knees straight) and goblin squats. One goblin squat for every four steps. If anybody witnessed this they will definitely NOT be joining us in the gloom.
Then it was up to the Pirate statue for Thirteens with Frankenstein’s Monster (a modified situp with arms extended; picture “IT’S ALIVE!”) and Calf Raised From The Dead.
Next we headed to the TowneBank Tower of Terror, where we proceeded down the walkway in a Spider Crawl (like a Peter Parker but moving forward) and back up the walkway in Creepy Crawlers (ok this is the same as a crab walk but give me a little creative license), with five Merkins at each bollard (look it up Cold Cut).
Around the corner at Gate 8 we did some Derkins and Foot-Release Squats. The scary thing about this one was the rep count.
Back to the flag for some Bloody Mary – Dead Bugs and Boxcutters.
And that got us to 6:15.
COT: Prayers for injured PAX and those between jobs, for Aquaman, and for a country in turmoil.
Moleskin: Thanks to Cold Cut for the opportunity to Q at Eagle’s Ridge, and apologies for my tardiness. Glad there was still time to do most of the spooky exercises I planned. Someday I’ll get around to introducing Skeleton Jacks. BEWARE!
