Don’t Google Skunk Challenge

18 of the strongest, baddest dudes on a Tuesday with a Kettlebell weren’t afraid to answer the call of a BROfessor challenge despite sub 20 degree weather.  Maybe you went somewhere else today and did a little running?  That’s cute.  We did running and threw around 50lb cannonballs.  Just sayin..

  • 20 KB Push Press
  • 20 Good Mornings

The Moleskine:

Young Love originally had a challenge like this a little over a year ago that I remember being terrible and that no one completed.  So of course I thought we’d give it another go when it was my turn to Q this time.  Even though there were some questionable routes on the “Church Loop” (YHC must have not given clear instruction), again I don’t think anyone completed the challenge this time either.  I had just made it to the 5th round before time ran out.  Sound off if you made it further this go around.

Great to see so many guys out this morning despite the 18 degree weather.  It is always a pleasure to lead such a fine group of men.  Cobains to Header and the rest of the men for not having music for the main event, although I feel like it would have taken away from the camaraderie of the joint suffering.  I was in my own pain cave this morning and didn’t pick up on any of the usual antics, sound off on any notable occurrences that I missed.

Thanks to Harley and Fletch for the opportunity to lead!

Freedom, thanks for switching weeks brother and thanks for the great takeout!

Chanel – great lead. No need to stand around when it’s 16 degrees, well done. My hands finally warmed up once we started running. The KB farmer carries were brutal, I felt like my forearms were going to snap off in the cold.

Thanks for making me feel good to be on IR, Chanel. Miss being out there with y’all, but glad to miss this one!

Complete grip failure during the farmers carries and it really never got any better. Almost lost the bell a couple of times with my giant Harbor Freight teflon gloves. Honestly, I kinda gave up after about 35 mins because I really couldn’t hold on to the thing any more. So I owe you 10 mins. At least I didn’t cheat on my laps.

And what happens if you google Skunk Challenge?

Didn’t hear the AYG part of the running. Also, my first lap was a Brown mile (just around the first building), but I made up for it in volume. Finished round 5. Good stuff, except the burpees.

Did you go around the whole church?

Great Lead Chanel, the walking farmers carry fried the grip and the KB challenge finished off the rest of us.

This is a brutal workout. It kind of makes me glad I was DR. Nice lead, Chanel.
