YHC was coming up with his weinke yesterday and knew it would be a challenge getting a good amount of PAX out based on the weather conditions and the newly formed Watchtower being on the same grounds on Friday. YHC reached out to a few PAX to encourage them to come out and promised them something new. Woke-up to cold temps and drizzle and thought to myself that it would be a light attendance at 0440 for EC Ruck. But the PAX surprised YHC and we had a total of 7 PAX for EC and logged 2.7 miles. Got back to the flag and had 3 more PAX join for a total of 10 PAX! No FNGs and short disclaimer given.

Warm-Up

  • Good Morning x11 IC
  • SSH x11 IC
  • Michael Phelps x11 IC
  • Butt Kickers x11 IC

While YHC was working out with Frank the Tank on Wednesday at BLP, we talked a lot about our past trips to Vegas. That conversation got YHC thinking about a new theme for a workout entitled “Lady Luck.” Everything would center around a red dice that YHC picked up on one of his trips to the Bellegio Last Vegas. The first dance with Lady Luck would be a stadium tour. At each gate, a PAX would name an exercise and then roll the dice. Whatever number hit, PAX would do that exercise x10. So a good roll would only be 10 reps while a crappy roll would be 60 reps. Skynyrd jumped at the opportunity to go first and said he felt really lucky and called out the Burpee. Well Skynyrd was not so lucky and rolled a 5… 50 burpees… not a great way to start off. As we toured the stadium with Lady Luck, other exercises included the Merkin, SSH, flutter kicks, squats, Freddy Mercury, dips and 10 trips up Mount Minges just to name a few.

For the next dance with Lady Luck, the PAX moseyed over to the base of Mount Minges and partnered up. YHC knows how much Slim Jim loves a bear crawl, so YHC let Slim choose the next roll.

If it rolled 1-3, there would be a combination of Bear Crawl and the Samoan Sandwich. If it rolled 4-6, there would be a combination of crab walk and row the boats. Slim hit on 4…

Partner A would do a AMRAP of Row the Boats while Partner B crab walked roughly 30 yards to the Mount Minges and then would crab walk up the stairs, then run down the stairs back to their partner. Partners would flapjack.

PAX then moseyed to Minges Meadows for 4 Bear Corner. PAX would bear crawl to each corner and then at the corner, PAX would perform an exercise and the number of reps would be based on Lady Luck.

Corner 1- 20 Merkins

Corner 2- 20 Jump Squats

Corner 3- 40 LBCs

And at corner 4, YHC asked the PAX who felt the luckiest as this would be the last roll and the exercise would be the burpee. Skynyrd wanted his second shot at Lady Luck… and he rolled another 5… 50 more burpees. The only thing lucky was Skynyrd and the PAX was that we were short on time so we knocked out 10 and then back to the flag for COT
