***I realized last night that I hadn't sent out the backblast for last Saturday.  Arrggh!!  Here she is.
4 arrived for a BEATdown.  4 received a BEATdown.
5 concrete wall blocks received us and wished us well…muahahaha…'cause we've got the biggest, blocks of them all!

5 blocks to the back
***Shirley grabs one in each hand and beasts back to the bench (3/4 point).  I cry a little knowing that I have to try.  Then I cried a lot.  Ouch.

15x curls
15x shoulder presses
***These new blocks are definitely larger and a little awkward to carry.  I assumed they were heavier, but after inspection, material property considerations, and debate over the carrying capacity of a laden swallow, I think they are really the same mass as our previous blocks.  Maybe after they absorb water, they will be heavier?  We debate whether the F3Kitty would pay for a scale to leave at the playground, but the motion does not pass.  So, they are dimensionally larger, but they are not demonstrably heavier.  A good addition that may allow more farmer's carrying/finger grip testing though, for sure.

Meat Grinder:
#1: hanging rows, calf raisers, move stack of 5 largest blocks across back playground
– counter-Nascar-wise trail run
– pole sits with some ankle touches
#2: pull ups/toe touches, derkins, move stack
– Nascar-wise trail run
***high marks to Shirley for his precision stacking

Back to the front:
3 LBH runs + 30 burpees.
mix 'n match when/where you do the burpees

6MOM:
*** Dandelion takes us down memory lane by parking in the pine straw for Mary.  Ahhh, the good ol' days.  My bony/lean back and tailbone are grateful.
20x Freddy Mercuries
10x box cutters (5/side)?
*** QFail4: 5/side…eh, normally we do 10/side…no drugs on board, I promise…geesh
15x low dollies
some 'merican hammers

moleskine:
– sprinkled within workout for chronological context
– T-claps to Shredder for hiding the fact that he's going to be a new dad sometime in the next week.  Super excited for him and his family.
– T-claps to Dandelion.  Due to his injury, he spent most of the day doing push/pull/abs.  Fortunately, he re-joined us for Mary, because we hadn't already seen him do 30MOM.

Good times fellas.
Honored that you let me lead.
