One Calls

This is an 8-count IC exercise developed as a result of the sometimes horrible merkin form by some PAX, especially those claiming to do great #�s when in fact they didn�t do any correctly. It was a way to force the PAX to have FULL extension both at the bottom and the top, which only makes them better (and stops the improper form). Since I work with OneCall and he would come to the office daily to complain about this, I developed this exercise and named it after him for my upcoming Q. Start in Merkin/Plank position. 1 � Down; 2 � Hand Release; 3 � Up and hold; 4 � Floyd Mayweather Punch Right arm; 5 � Right arm down; 6 � Floyd Mayweather Punch Left arm; 7 � Left arm down; 8 (which would be the PAX count of 1, 2, 3, etc) � Full plank. As you can see, this forces the PAX to go all the way down instead of the 1-2� down that some claim count as a merkin, and it forces a locking of the elbows at the top. 10-15 of these are excellent. It has also been done with 2 PAX facing each other and keeping each other honest (Q choice with these to make the Floyd Mayweathers into Booyah Merkins or Slap 5's or anything like that where the PAX are mirroring each other).
