5:00am was dark, wet and lonely as YHC sad clowned the standard however during the run I could reflect on who would be dumb enough to show up and run in the pouring rain on the first day back from spring break, the answers is just YHC. Surely I would get reprive and no one would show for the beatdown leaving me to go home and dry off.
5:28am dam, I mean oh great a few others showed up, my fault for advertising a soft workout apparently the pax are like moths to a light when you mention and easy beatdown. So we are doing this… We run to the pullup bars for a quick disclaimer and some SSHs before getting our first set of pull ups. We grab some blocks and complete a 4 exercise circut of 10 each: Curls, Shoulder Press, Swings, Skull Crushers, more pullups and repeat. It should be noted that following the Qs cadance seems to be a mere sugguestion for Popcorn as he has his own pace. One more set of pullups and then we mosey to the firendly soft confines of the dry patio. The pax seem thrilled at my decision but were quickly offended when I called 10 burpees, then dips, 50 partner situps, 15 squats, some more dips, and burpees. As the pax seemed to have dried off we decided to get wet again and ran a lap back to the pullup bars for a repeato of the block circut x2 with pullups and then retuned to the soft covered area just in time for the sky to open up and really start dumping. The repeato on the covered area circut was not met with as much grief especially when we soften up the situps to 25. We had time for a little mary before closing out the softest workout of the week in LKN.
Key learnings of the day to share:
- Apparently the standard in the PB is not a good for of communicaiton it needs its own PB or no one shows. Its a good tip for next time DonHo I will try that.
- The workout was so soft that Cherry Bomb and Popcorn had to go straight to Golds to get an actual workout for the day.
- The workout was so soft that Jobe burned more calories fart sacking then coming to Sword
- The MQ saw the forecast and sent his people but remained warm and dry in the fart sack, there was talk of a trail run where he may have tripped over a stick and hurt his pinky toe.
- Soprano in classic fashion knocked out the work without complaint and was left wondering why it wasn't harder.
- Prison Brake drew the short straw on partner work and was stuck with YHC, it can only get better from here.
- Thanks to Enron for the opportunity to lead and until the next time enjoy your soft workout, keep posting and EHing, we need you in the gloom.
