9 men descended on ManMakerMonday in hopes of bells ringing, but instead found themselves on the Naughty List, as evidenced by the exercises chosen. The following ensued:
Warm-o-Rama (all In Cadence)
- SSH x 15
- Windmill x 10
- Cotton Picker x 10
- Mountain Climbers x 15
- Mosey 1 Lap
The Thang:
YHC had a bucket containing 25 exercises — 13 Naughty and 12 Nice. We went around the circle pulling out exercises, and if you pulled it you Q'd it. The catch — if you drew an exercise labeled 'Naughty', we did the exercise, ran a lap around the parking lot, and then did it again.
What was called:
- Russian Hops – 20 OYO (Naughty (so 1 lap and repeato), Waffle House)
- Horizontal Pullovers – 15 Single Count (Nice, Olive)
- Star Jump Burpees – 15 OYO (Naughty, Gray Ghost)
- Russian Twist – 15 I.C. (Naughty, GangGreen)
- Suicides – 5 parking lines (Naughty, Catfish)
- Jiminy Crickets – 15 OYO (Naughty, Oyster)
- KB Monkey Humpers – 15 I.C. (Naughty, Primo)
- Horizontal Skull Crushers – 15 I.C. (Nice, Hat Trick)
- KB Pickle Pounders – 15 I.C. (Naughty, Beetlejuice)
- KB Swings – 30 OYO (Nice, Waffle House)
- KB WW2 Situps – 15 I.C. (Naughty, Olive)
- Upright Rows – 15 I.C. (Nice, Gray Ghost)
Mary (counts approximate):
- LBC x 25 OYO (Gang Green)
- Low Flutter x 20 I.C. (Catfish)
- W x 20 I.C. (Oyster)
- Mak-Tar-Jai x 16 I.C. (Primo)
- J-Lo x 15 I.C. (Hat Trick)
- Russian Twist x 15 I.C. (Beetlejuice)
Moleskine:
- Great work today by 9 men that certainly didn't expect that much running at a ManMaker workout!
- Of the 12 exercises pulled, 12 were naughty and eight were nice; Primo also pulled 8-Count Bodybuilders, which were naughty, but I audibled and asked him to pull another one, since we had already done the 30 star jump burpees and 30 Jiminy Crickets — That one would have killed us only 15 minutes into the workout!
- Exercises not pulled (4 Naughty, 8 Nice): Naughty – Crazy Ivans, Hand Release Merkins, Sprints/Burpees, Zampirini; Nice – Bicep Curls, Chest Press, Bentover Rows, Sumo Squats, KB Lunges, KB Complex, KB LBC, Mosey 1 Lap
- The KB Monkey Humpers and KB Pickle Pounders have probably been done before, but were unknown to me — hope you men enjoyed them!
- Catfish made it for his first Manmaker workout — we hope to see you back (they're not all like that — usually we do more with the kettlebell!)
- I was actually grateful we didn't pull a lot of exercises that used the KB — I grabbed Moses's stash of KBs from his garage, and passed out the 20, 25, and 30 and was left with the 35 lb. – more than I'm used to
- Olive needs Q's for January and beyond — You can sign up on the calendar on the F3 Isotope website
- Beetlejuice – thanks for taking us out; Prayers to Oyster's mother-in law Leslie
- Thanks for coming out and happy holidays to everyone!
