With Christmas just 6 days away, YHC felt it was necessary to remind the PAX of Hickory with a Christmas themed beatdown. I’ll admit, I have never grown out of my childlike love for Christmas and probably never will, so this workout was something I was pretty excited for.
Here’s how it went:
The Warm-Up
S ide Straddle Hops (IC)
A merican Hammers (IC)
N o Hand Merkins (aka – Hand Release Merkins… Had to take some artistic liberties) (IC)
T oe Touches (aka – ATT) (IC)
A lphabet Abs (Spelling out each capital letter from A to Z)

The Main Thang
Mosey over to the Hickory’s Christmas tree for a quick Christmas song.
Jingle Bell Rock Merkins
– Every time the word “jingle” or “jinglin” was sung, a Merkin was to be performed. In my humble opinion this is way better than Chumba Wumba (Sp?), simply because it’s a Christmas tune!
Mosey over to the parking lot hill in front of the Cabaret
Santa’s Helpers
– Partner up with PAX around same weight (at this point, everyone knew what was coming)
– P1 carries P2 up the hill. At the top both do partner hand clap Merkins x 10
– Run back down and then P2 carries P1 and then 10 more partner hand clap merkins at the top.
– Do this counting down by 2’s all the way to 4 (in order to save time)
* As a note… This did not go according to plan. Typically YHC plans something for a Q and thinks to himself, “Man this is going to be good! It’s going to make people complain and it’s going to be hard (TWSS).” But this time, it didn’t go according to plan… People complained and also decided to declare mutiny and “modify” the workout (aka – not do what YHC had planned).
Next up, some more Christmas spelling
S umo Squats – IC x 20
L ittle Baby Crunches – IC x 20
E merkins (because it just didn’t work any other way) – IC x 20
I mperial Squat Walker – 4 Count x 15
G orilla Humpers – IC x 15
H urpees (Hand release burpee) – 10 OYO
Then we had a little Indian Sleigh Ride Run the long way back to the flag.
Last Minute Shopping – Relay
PAX got in two groups and had some good ole’ fashioned competition.
First PAX started with a coupon and sprinted to the Hickory Christmas tree dropped off the coupon and then sprinted back. Next in line sprinted to the tree, grabbed the coupon and then sprinted back. This continued on until the very end.
Finally we finished with a little more incomplete Christmas spelling
S umo Squats – IC x 20
L ittle Baby Crunches – IC x 20
E merkins (because it just didn’t work any other way) – IC x 20
I mperial Squat Walker – 4 Count x 15
G orilla Humpers – IC x 15
* At this point, I was over the whole Hurpee thing…
WOD:
Romans 1:16
Although we typically don’t hear this read at a Christmas service, we are to remember to never be ashamed of the Gospel (aka – the Good News), which arrived on earth some 2000 years ago in a manger.
Moleskin:
– I’m pretty sure Cousin Eddie only posted to prove a point that he doesn’t avoid a Peaches Q, but I’m still not entirely convinced.
– Not stated above, YHC took a little stumble during the attempted partner carries up the hill. Shameus jumped my back, and shortly thereafter, YHC just fell forward. But this is what makes us more manly (or stupid) then the others… We actually attempted the workout.
– Funyon is sneaky fast! That dude bolted out of the starting line during the relay and helped our team catch up. But I’m pretty sure he almost died afterwards.
– Cheez Whiz is also quite stealthy. He’s a man of few words, but this dude will dust you in a race.
As always, it was a pleasure.
Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals!
