Admittedly YHC is not a huge Star Wars fan.  After flirting with the idea of bringing a Christmas themed workout for today's beatdown on Monday, Ziplock reminded me that Star Wars is being released this week.  Oh that could be fun!  A google search reveals tons of Star Wars nerds flooding the internet with some of their ideas.  I stole these ideas and modified as I saw fit. Perhaps the threat of a "12 days of Chistmas" repeato scared some of the PAX away.  Perhaps Sonar was out of town again, but where was Closer, Indy, Diesel, C#, Doodle, Ziplock, Trump, SchoolBus.  That's right, you got called out.

In the end 6 brave souls posted to see what the Q had planned.  Here's how it happened…

Warm-up
Parking lot mosey
15 IC Imperial Storm Troopers
Hyperspace low plank 1 minute

The Thang
6x Han Solo Shuttle Run (20 second sprint, 10 second rest) (we will just do 100 yard sprint and 10 second count)
20 OYO Force Jumps (squat jump)
10 OYO The Force Mericans (jumping spider)
Luke Skywalker Handstands (Balls to the wall, but try it one handed) **Goodwrench informs Clark that he needs to get higher on the wall #ISI                    

Partner up while moseying to the pull-up bar, Size doesn't matter.  Partners form a line.
2 at a time, with the next 2 ready to assist.  Perform MAX pull-ups plus 2 assisted.  Rest of PAX holds peoples chair
Repeato
Q sets timer in his head for 1 minute rounds
One end does Jedi Force Choke Hold (or one arm hangs from the pull-ups bar) **This proved to royally suck
Other end partners flip the 410 lb tire together #HerniaMaker
Rest of PAX does Jedi Burpees (same as a regular Burpee)
Rotate through until everybody has done both

Grab a rock and it's time upgrade your guns to Chewbacca level strength.  **Get bigger rocks, we are doing fewer reps..
5 IC Low Curl
5 IC Wide Merican
5 IC High Curl
5 IC Diamond Merican
5 IC Full Curl
5 IC Standard Merican
10 IC Squat Thrusters
5 IC Pseudo Planche Mericans
5 IC Skull Crushers
5 IC Staggered Mericans

6MOM
10 IC R2-D2's (Alternating Rosalita and low dolly)
10 IC FM
10 IC Peter Parkers
10 IC Low Plank Hops
10 X’s and O’s
30 Sec. Mason Twist

Reflection
Luke 1:35

The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God."

This may be a little sacrilegious but it ties in nicely.  Book of LUKE, Christmas story.  My "The Force" is my God, and Star Wars The Force is the energy around all living things.
