Unfortunately for everyone at the Mount, with Christmas comes Yule Logs, so YHC arrived early with a truckload. But before we enjoyed the festivities, YHC introduced himself, welcomed everyone to the Mount for the celebration, gave a disclaimer, and then jumped into a little warm-up:
- 25 Side-straddle Hops (for, you know, the 25th of December)
- 12 Humpies
- 12 Little Arm Circles
- 12 Reverse Arm Circles
Moseying to the Mount’s favorite parking lot, YHC presented the Yule Log workout: Every PAX grabs a log from the truck, attaches a tie-down, and will tow their log for the rest of the workout between stations. There are 7 stations in a spoke-like set-up, but in the form of a Christmas tree with the center at the top of the tree and the 6 other stations forming the branches of the tree. At the center/top, PAX will do a Yul Brynner (ie Magnificent 7: 1 Carolina Dry Dock, 1 Wide Arm Merkin, 1 Merkin, 1 Ranger Merkin, 1 Diamond Merkin, 1 Crucible Merkin, and 1 Chuck Norris Merkin), and then tow his yule log to one of the 6 stations to do 20 reps of the listed exercise. After hitting all 6 branches, decend by 2 and repeat.
- Yul Brynner (1)
- Upright Rows (20, 18, …)
- Lunges
- Elf on the Shelf’s
- Little Baby Crunches
- Overhead Press
- Gas Pumps
We enjoyed our merry time until 6:10, put the logs back up, and moseyed back to the flag. One minute before 6:15 (allegedly 30 seconds according to Short Sale), so we did 20 Merkins OYO.
Count-o-rama (9), Name-o-rama, and YHC shared a bit about how Christmas is special because of Easter: how we don’t need to become perfect to reach God but rather He came to us and is our Redemption.
YHC prayed us out.
SYITG!
