Like the Hallmark Christmas special nobody asked for, Park-It returned for its first annual one-time-only workout two weeks before year-end. The ghosts of workouts past came together to ensure Oddball could notch AO #63 in classic TdM fashion. But this wasn’t just any Friday—it was Friday the 13th, a perfect day to bring the pain.
With my shoulder still out of commission, I embraced the role of Squat King, swapping out every upper-body move for the glorious leg burners. (Spoiler: By the end, nobody escaped leg day.)
Scrooge started us off with a solid warm-up featuring Side-Straddle Hops and Merkin variants. He may have been warming us up, but I was already digging into the squat buffet. Next up, Meisenheimer led us in some sweat-inducing moves that may or may not have spelled his name (it’s unclear because the gloom and quad burn blurred everything).
Rose kept things rolling with a three round circuit on the equipment. While most PAX hung, swung, and pushed, I, naturally, squatted. Pipeline took us on a mini-mosey to beef up the calves because who doesn’t want killer calves for Christmas? Then YHC wrapped it up with a festival of squats: regular squats, lunges, Al Gore, squats, and more squats—basically everything except sitting down.
True to Park-It tradition, we capped things off with coffee and fellowship. Congrats to Oddball on hitting #63!
In case you missed it, you now know Squat.
