Crazy Time Gets Legit

8 Pax said screw sleep and showed up at 4:30AM to get an extra beat down in on a humid Friday morning. Extra kudos to Yellow Card – YHC certainly wasn’t waking up at 4AM to work out at 15.

No FNGs, so we went off and did our thing:

1 mile

100 Pullups

200 Merkins

300 Squats

1 mile

Various set patterns per usual – shout out to Skidmark for doing the first 10 sets at 10 pullups/10 merkins/15 squats and then finishing from there. Getting stronger bro.

We had a quick CoT and then (most of us at least) went off to our regularly scheduled 2nd beat down of the morning.

Based on three weeks of good attendance in a row Crazy Time is now a thing!

Aye! ~ Pikachu
