Early humor this morning as Cottonmouth pulled up and dropped a massive 5lb kettlebell in the middle of the pax! It may have been a good idea to pick the little fella for this mornings workout…
During the pre workout banter the cars just kept coming and YHC was concerned about the lack of space on the hill for the combine type set up. Some old chestnuts reappeared in the form of Runstopper and 49er which was great to see. The theme stemmed from site Q Harley stating that the workout needed to be an “11” out of 10 on the toughnesss scale and I’m hoping it did not dissapoint.
After a somewhat extended warm up it was time to hit the hills. We started way down low and had to manoevre over three elevations to reach the summit. Fletch and Busch were leading the way on the sprints with Good Hands and Bugeater hanging close. After each sprint back down the pax had to rack the bell to move on. Nightcourt with his first post of 2014 (?) tended to be the one we were waiting on as he staggered up from his knees!
The plan was to do eleven exercises all military count but the hands of time saved us all.
Great job by all this morning and a warm welcome to FNG Joel H (Hamish) who was EH’d by Country Livin.
Pleasure leading you this morning lads and comment away on anything that was missed.

I can’t let Nightcourt take all the heat, these short legs don’t stride well. As typical when it comes to running I was toward the end. So unless I happened to rack before he did, I was right there also.
I think I would have preferred to bring my guitar and amp (at 11) and give you background music.
It was a solid, amp’ed up workout! I had not been out to Skunkworks since before Christmas so it was good to get back on schedule.
Great job Bulldog!
When I requested an “11” from Bulldog, I knew it would be hard…well done. Totally smoked and almost spilled.
I was a bit surprised that Bulldog was not familiar with the Spinal Tap reference, given his British accent (which surprisingly disappeared towards the end of the workout). But I guess that’s understandable since the classic mockumentary is about a fake British heavy metal band.
Well done to TR with the quote reference on Twitter to “You can’t really dust for vomit.” But we were close. Lots of other good quotes if you have not seen this classic.
Wow Zip, why you gonna hate on a brother? You know I swing a 35 lb bell. Why don’t you come out to The Rock Sat and see if you can hang with the toys I’ll be breaking out? You can even wear your M’s sweater that you wore to the Christmas party to keep you warm since the child air will be returning!
Looks like a great one BD! Sorry I missed it?
That was a lot of movement for a muscle-head KB workout. Did not know the skunk pax could move like that. Uh, can I get another order of SMOKED please? Donkey Kong was his usual self as I swear he intentionally did just enough to beat me. Don’t you have a mountain, tree, or building to climb? Great lead bulldog. Borderline crazy workout. Perfect.
