“It’s not what I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.”

-Batman

A dark moon settled over Gotham (Natville) as a baker’s dozen of Dark Knights descended upon Cougar Town to battle the #SadClown. After a breif disclaimer, we vanished into the gloom for:

Warm-a-Rama

25 x SSH IC

20 x Copperhead Squats IC

15 x Peter Parkers IC

15 x Parker Peters IC

12 x Don Quixotes IC

Then, deeper into the gloom we went until; HOLY FNGs BATMAN! Not one, but two new recruits were found roaming the perimeter. After exchanging pleasantries, we grabbed the cinders and headed up to the futbol pitch & track. It was evident that the PAX was hungry for a hero’s beatdown on this, the 77th anniversary of the World’s Greatest Detective. And so began:

The Thang (part 1 – The Bat Mile)

1 lap around the track

100 x Merkins (heroes gotta have guns)

1 lap around the track

100 x Squats (heroes gotta leap tall buildings)

1 lap around the track

100 x LBCs (heroes gotta have abs)

1 lap around the track

Then a quick descriptor before launching into Phase II:

The Thang (part 2 – Gotham v. Arkham)

Teams of 3

#1 at one end of the gridiron banging out cinderblock exercises, #2 at the other end crushing bodyweight exercises, #3 runs from one end to the other to relieve. Rinse & repeat.

Arkham

1. Mt. Climbers

2. Sit-ups w/ punch

3. Calf raises

4. Jumping Lunges

5. Side Plank Crunch

Gotham

1. Jack Webbs

2. Dips

3. Goblet Squats

4. Traveling Merkins

5. Tricep Extesions

The Thang (part 3 – being a hero takes “testicular fortitude”)

We felt the “call of the wall” on the way back to the #ShovelFlag so we divided up into dynamic duos and launched into a little extra credit:

Hero: Balls to The Wall

Sidekick: 25 yard dash into 5 Merkins; relieve & switch

Rinse & Repeat x 3

Back to the Bat Cave for:

You guys are all heroes in my book. Thanks for the opportunity to serve my brothers from different mothers. Aye!
