Warm up: Mosey around the parking lot and then circle up for SSH, Windmills, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, and Overhead Claps
The Workout:
YHC promised a Dungeons and Dragons themed workout this morning. I brought 4 dice with me as well as 8 numbered cards., each with four exercises on them. The format was fairly simple, we’d roll the dice and they would determine what we did and how much.
The dice were:
D8 – Chose which card we would work off of
D6 – Determined the number of sets we’d do
D20 – Number of reps per exercise
D100 – Number of swings we’d do in between choosing cards.
I have to admit, this whole thing came out of the gate hot. I was hoping we’d ease in to it but, alas, it was not to be. As Pikachu said in Slack, the dice may not lie but they are not kind.
The first rolls were
D8 – 3 – This card consisted of Snatch on the left, Snatch on the right, Clean on the left, Clean on the right
D6 – 3 sets
D20 – 15 reps
As was exclaimed many times during this part of our quest, that’s way too many Snatches (not something I ever thought I’d say). If you’re playing along at home that’s a total of 90 snatch and clean. That was a lot. But the D100 would be kind to us, right?
Prophetically, Pikachu called this one before we got to it.
D100 – 90
90 swings. Nothing fancy about it, just a lot.
The second roll was:
D8 – 4 – This card was Chest Press, Skull Crushers, Overhead Reach, and Turkish Getups
D6 – 6 sets
D20 – 15 (!)
YHC immediately called an audible and said we weren’t going to do 6 sets of 15 Turkish Getups and that we’d save them for the end. 4 sets in and I called another audible because I hoped to get through another card or two. We did four sets of 15 of the first three excercises. We began our 15 Turkish Getups but a few minutes in to it I called an end to it because, again, I wanted to get more in. The D100 couldn’t be cruel again, right? Right?
D100 – 100
F. Another audible was called. We started the set of 100 with just 25 with the promise of sprinking the rest in later.
The third roll:
D8 – 5 – This was single arm lat raise on the left, single arm lat raise on the right, bus drivers, and ground pounders
D6 – 3
D20 – 8
Ok, this was a little more reasonable. However, after struggling to do the single arm raises with the amount of weight we all had we changed it to double handed straight lat raises for the rest of our sets. Also, instead of waiting until the end after each set we did another 25 swings. By the end of this card we had finished our 100 from the previous roll. Unfortunately we were out of time at this point. The good news is that there are still 5 unused and unseen cards to be used again.
