When the thermo-meter reads 61 at post time, and it's January, you have to give a little wink and nod to Mr. Al Gore right there…..thinking, in all of his blowhardness, he might've gotten something right (for today). FROSTY was the lone rucker, and 8 others gathered to see what roll-out the Chubby Buddha has is store for them. Here's the live wire report:
Warm Ups- SSH 20 IC, 10 KB body circumnavigations R/L each, IST 15 IC, 10 KB Ribbons, CP's 10, Mericans 5 IC, 5 KB Mericans IC. 15 MC's IC, 10 WM's IC, 20 SDS w/ Bells, 20 KB swings OYO, 10 each of mil presses, skull crushers, curls, R/L lawnmowers, 10 pullovers all IC, and 10 wall step ups with mil press, OYO. Repeato 2X from KB swings on, then add in 15 SDS (per Deep End) to complete the warm-ups.
The Thang: Chubby Buddha Races (TM)- Pardner up, 4 teams of 2, two teams race each other around the square, NO RUNNING, with KB farmers carry for one pardner, and 5 burpees for the other, who runs to catch up. Teams go opposite directions, winner takes all……or 'only' 5 burpees for the winning teams, 10 for the losing teams. Q clipboarded the exercise, and did burpees and carried only one pathetic 25 lb dumbell. 15 SDS, per Deep End, IC to finish The Thang.
Mary: KB assisted LBC's 20 IC, KB press flutter 20 IC, Freddy Merc's 20 IC, Mason Twists 10 IC, WWII's were attempted, but it was 6:15 already! Recover. Recover.
Moleskine:
-GREAT effort from the PAX today, very impressive work, some modifying–a good way to warm the cockles of the Q's heart when this happens.
-Lear amped up the Pullovers by prescribing leg lifts during the excercise….definitely a notch or two higher on the discomfort scale!
-Deep End was displeased with our lack of squats during warm-ups, so more were added, led by Deep End, as 'filler'.
-Big Mean was displeased with the play of his Vikings Sunday night, YHC was not.
-@Cupcake, thanks for the keys to the dubiously named Chubby Buddha!!
-Y'all are 'Freed to Lead', please don't pass up the opportunity!!
