I had heard that Cherrybomb Q-ed a Viking recently, and that Canuck just up and left within minutes due to the amount of running. Or was it just an aversion to nantan tyranny. Who knows?
In any case, I was inspired to bring a no running workout to Viking. But I was hoping to make it unforgettable.

So when you step in the shower and feel the sting of water on your raw tailbone from all the WW2s, remember the lovely time we all had together. And when your wife asks you why you groaned when getting out of bed tomorrow morning because your abs are crushed, tell her “Popcorn did this”. And when you have to slowly land onto the toilet seat because your ass is sore from Bonnie Blairs, pull out your phone and leave a comment on this BB saying “Thank you, Popcorn”.
Warmarama = Usual suspects…mosey, SSH, slow squat, slippery dip can.
The Thang
Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM) #1 = 3 Burpees, 6 Bonnie Blairs, 9 WW2s (13 minutes)
1 minute break
EMOM #2 = 12 high knees, 12 merkins, 12 WW2s (13 minutes)
Several of these guys thought EMOM #1 was too easy and begged to make it 4/8/12 or even 5/10/15 reps. So the rep count averaged…
52 burpees, 104 Bonnie Blairs, 156 high knees, 156 merkins, 312 WW2s
We still had some time leftover, so…
90 seconds rest, 30 seconds burpees, 20 seconds rest, 40 seconds jump squats, 20 seconds rest, 40 seconds bonnie blairs, 60 seconds rest, 60 seconds plank, 20 seconds rest, 40 seconds shoulder touch merkins, 30 seconds rest, 30 seconds burpees, 20 seconds rest, 40 seconds bonnie blairs

- MQ Chilly Willy is all in and I’m lovin it. Good EH Jersey Boy.
- Strong mumble chatter from CB and AMPM. In case you don’t know, AMPM is vying for more influence within the region like a Russian mercenary boss. I hear #AMPAMforNantan is trending on Telegram.
- I want to see a core competition between Toby and Bagboy.
- Cobra made friends with a millipede.
- Don’t say anything about skinny people (on behalf of Possum, we’re sorry Estwing).
- Waffle House is back!
Thanks for the opportunity Chilly Willy and men of Isotope!
Admit it. You know that song from Pitch Perfect, not the original Breakfast Club

Believe it or not, I do know some Breakfast Club. If you’re not careful I’ll start a rumor involving Stray and a hot beef injection.
I am not vying for Nantan just so everyone’s clear. I did not start that thread and fully support Cherry Bomb as the Nantan!!
Good Q popcorn. Was definitely memorable, and we’ll see how much pain I’m in over the next few days. If I’m not 100% on Dragonslayer Thursday, it’s your fault!!
Thank you, Popcorn 😡🤬👹
Great stuff Popcorn! As you mentioned- mentally challenging staying in one place the entire time not to mention the physical duress of the exercises! Awesome!
Tail bone ground to a pulp, check!
Before you, Bagboy was the only man who could wear out my ass until it hurts. Seriously, I had to switch to low flutters halfway through the WWIIs, but I still got a sore spot on my tailbone that’s going to linger. That was a kick-ass workout and I needed that because I’m going on vacay for two weeks on Saturday (don’t worry, I’ll keep fit). See you the day after my return!
