5 men gathered at 0700 for the promise of rope work. By 0720, there were 6.
Odd, but for some reason, I have a dead spot in my memory from the first 20 minutes of the workout. I’m vaguely recalling some burpees and cinderblock work. From 0720 to the end of the hour, we worked in 100 merkins, just as many ab exercises and squats/lunges/jumpsquats as we work with, over, and around the battle rope.
Jack be nimble, jack be quick, the pax hop over the battle rope/stick: sideways for ski season followed by forward and backward hops.
Pull exercises with the battle rope, while pax on the opposite side offers resistance. The wet pavement was just as much of a hindrance as the pax resistance. Other pax doing OYO exercises until their turn.
Mosey around the parking lot. The next exercise was the Reindeer sleigh. Using the rope for resistance, 2 pax pulled 2 other pax down the parking lot until everyone pulled 2x.
More pull exercises with the battle rope, using the curb to anchor himself, one pax sat with his feet on the curb and pulled a guy offering resistance.
More reindeer games back up the parking lot. This was a glut/quad burner.
3 man exercise: partner reverse plank curl. Next time through partner Australian pull-up.
Finished with 2 rounds MWAR (Mary with a rope).
Moleskin:
- the pax graciously gave me a pass on being late…after I bought them all coffee. Apparently 40 minutes of MATH (Moses at the helm) was enough.
- Firestone and Kachow needed bits to control them on the reindeer sleigh.
- Tclaps to Blackbeard who was out there doing what he could. Great to see you, brother.
- Toxic was finally in character during MWAR. Fire in the hole!
- Rocket was called out as needing to Q again?
- Great turnout at LFC for coffee.
Thanks for the EH, Firestone. Honored to workout with you men.
Hats off to our MOTY, Possum.
