Clockmaker


8 of Isotope’s finest to took on the “Clockmaker”.  It was workout designed to exhaust our arms and shoulders.

We opened with a moment of silence to remember the 9/11 tragedies.  It was a day that changed America for forever. We followed with the pledge and began our day in tribute. 

Here is how it began:

  • Mosey around the parking lot, mixing in high knees, butt kickers, and karaoke.  Circle up at on the upper soccer field. Quick disclaimer

Moleskin:

  • It was a morning of remembrance for the 9/11 tragedies and all the fallen. Especially the first responders putting themselves in harms way to save innocent victims.  We will never forget.
  • In order to pay tribute, we workout out our bodies giving it our all.  We isolated our arms/shoulders to near exhaustion.
  • Mumble chatter quickly ensured when YHC incorporated arm/claps to peoples chair exercise.  Once the Clockmaker started and “hairband” music was blaring the chatter was quelled with 78 CCD, Mericans and Burpees.
  • We ran a total of 1.99 miles. It wasn’t till we picked our refill coffee at NY Bagel did we break the 2 mile barrier.
  • I want to especially thank Schneider for not letting up on his relentless EH.  F3 has been a life and game changer for me.  He is still on the mend but had a strong post yesterday. T Claps to Schneider.
  • To my Clown Car brothers, you continue to hold me accountable and inspire me. I am truly blessed.
  • It was an honor and humbled to lead these fine men. Thank you to the Professor for opportunity.  The Estate is one my favorite AOs.  I look forward to each Saturday to post with regulars at the Estate.
