July 30th.
Whats happened on this day…..
Japanese submarine I-58 sinks the USS Indianapolis (1945)
A joint resolution is signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, authorizing In God We Trust as the U.S. national motto (1956)
Apollo 15 Lunar Module Falcon lands on the Moon with the first Lunar Rover (1971).
U.S. President Richard Nixon releases subpoenaed White House recordings after being ordered to do so by the Supreme Court (1974)
Jimmy Hoffa disappears (1975)
The last ‘old style’ Volkswagen Beetle rolls off the assembly line (2003, in Mexico).
And its International friendship day…so in honor of this important day I tried to harm you with nearly 500 merkins (and 450 squats).
Pax: Dunphy, Twitch, Herschel, Matlock, Buubs (Welcome back!!), Cake, Blind Spot, HC3, Pinky, and Pipeline
Q – Pinky
Warm up — Jog to the deck where Twitch awaits us. We were going to start with 100 SSH IC, but Cat Scratch isn’t here so why in the hell would we want to do that. Instead, we lunge walk the length of the deck. Then 15 merkins IC. Then Everest back across the deck. Then 15 slow merkins IC.
The thang: Merkins/Squat escalator in parking spots up the ramp. Start with 1 merkin and 1 squat. Increase by one each spot. After 15 decrease by 1 until you get to 1. Now switch sides of the ramp and go back down. Dunphy sounded like he enjoyed the hand release merkins from last week, so we replaced merkins with hand release merkins on the way down. Good choice Dunphy.
Mary: American Hammers IC, LBCs IC, 6″ hold.
Recover, recover.
Welcome back Buubs (from a 2 year break!) and Pipeline (who was really just avoiding us so we didn’t have to repeat #everybodypukes). Buubs, hope you don’t have to lift many boxes to finish up the move today…..Or feel free to use my mean-spirited workout as an excuse.
