Introducing The Vertical Pounder

Most of this workout was actually Ping’s fault.  He Q’ed last Thursday, which was the 2nd Thursday of the month, which is “supposed to be” Samson Suicides – Q’s choice (of suicides during the workout).  Well, with just YHC and Ping in attendance under the downpour of the tropical storm, we never even considered any type of suicides and in fact we did much of Ping’s workout in, on or around chairs under cover.

YHC realized this when formulating a plan for today, so why not play a little catch-up?  Unfortunately Ping was not in attendance.

So we did A LOT of curls and skull crushers and eventually some lawn mower pulls all while running (barely a mosey) back and forth between parking lot rows.  YHC succumbed to the mumblechatter and got way off on the counts, the cadence, the order, etc.  So eventually it was just a whole lotta reps, a whole lotta back and forth moseying and a whole lotta complaining and an ok workout at best.

In between suicide sets The Vertical Pounder was introduced.  Found online (or “Twitter” or “X” or “TwiX”), this exercise guarantees to be “An effective exercise to burn your belly fat.  100 reps per day, hold for 7 days.”  That’s all it says.  Maybe all our belly fat will be gone by Samson next week if we stick to the plan!!!  No doubt POS, Lawn Dart and especially Blackbeard will give this a try.  Blackbeard LOVED The Vertical Pounder and added very relevant yet awkward sound effects and eye contact.

Thanks for posting, fellas.  See ya at Cauldron for Lawn Dart’s Q tomorrow (and another 100 Vertical Pounders).
