04/30/2022 - Ranch - Hot Shot’s 0.0 Centralia Smoldering Burn Beatdown

Hot Shot gave the disclaimer, told the PAX the name of the workout, discovered some HIMs had never heard of Centralia, explained that the mine fire there had been burning for 50 years or so, forcing the town to be evacuated, and emphasized everything would be done slowly. He requested counts be done one one thousand, two one thousand, and so on, to keep it slow. He pointed out that if any of the PAX couldn’t take the slow pace they could modify as needed to a faster speed.

The Warmarama included Neck Rolls oyo, Al Gore Tree Hugger Air Chairs – 10 count per PAX, and the crying started! Air presses- 10 count per PAX , Huggy bears 10 oyo, Overhead claps-10 count per HIM, Seal claps-10 count per PAX Grass Pickers, Imperial Walkers, and wrapped up with Motivators- 5 down

Mosey to Playground for The Thang- Slow Pain for Maximum Gain- although the Runners barely got beyond a 0.0 mosey!

The Thang included:

Merkins- any style- 10 reps per PAX for a total of 50, 5 second down, 5 seconds up, count 1/1000 etc.

Lunges- 10 per leg, holding each position 5 seconds,

World’s Greatest stretch- 10-second hold at each position

Pickle Pushers, 10 count each PAX

Squats – 10 reps per PAX for a total of 50,– 5 seconds down, 5 seconds up

WW IIs- 10 reps per PAX for a total of 50 at a normal pace

The crying was deafening, and there was a lot of modification going on!

 

Mosey to the stage- Runners, if you could call them that, weren’t complaining when they couldn’t find coupons to luggage carry to the stage

 

Using Coupons- 5 reps each exercise, with a slow 5-second, count up and 5-second count down we did Curls, Shoulder Presses, and Rows- 5 per arm

 

Unfortunately, the township had tossed some of our coupons so some PAX did curls while others did dips, then while HIMs did rows, others did Urkins, and while the PAX did shoulder presses with coupons, the others did Step-Ups. Nobody had a good time or the energy to mosey to the shovel flag!

 

By the time we did a 0.0  Mosey to the Shovel Flag there was no time for a Round of Mary, everyone cried, and we closed with CoR, NoR, announcements, and the CoT. Downsize did a great job of leading Q Source at Panera for our coffateria.
