Enter witty title here.

18 pax answered the call of Anvil this am and braved the cold April weather – what is up with Charlotte weather anyway – its supposed to be back up in the 70s in a few days.

Anyway – verteran crew so quick disclaimer was given and off we want.

Slow mosey over to the parking lot in front of the HotBox for a quick COP – and where the mubblechatter started and pretty much remained.

COP

IW x 15 in cadence

5 burpees oyo

Low Slow squat x 15 in cadence

5 burpees oyo

Slow merkins x 10

5 burpees oyo

(Now to be named The Tony Horton)
Arm circles:
20 small forward, 20 small backward, then 10 big forward, and finally 10 big backwards.
more than enough grumbling here so off we go.

The Thang.

To be honest YHC has been recycling workouts a bit too much lately and wanted to try something different, but got too busy to plan, so the majority of the workout was made up during the drive over this am.

Thanks to Gummy – we head to the Hot Box first.

Split squats with rear leg raised x 15 for Right and Left – just for fun.

10 jump ups, 10 dips, 10 derkins – rince and repeat for time (10 minutes)- think most got at least 7 rounds. (this is when calls for more arm circles started to be heard and would continue)

Mosey to other side of building for recovery:

people’s chair
BTW
More People’s chair – more calls for arm circles

Head to playground –

5 pull ups, 5 toes to bar, 5 hand relese burpees – rinse and repeat until time is called (approx 8 minutes)
(another crowd pleaser)

Head to rock pile – at this point McGee called out YHC for being too predicatble. Again, what happens when you are coming up with the workout as you go.

grab a big lifting rock.

Clean rock from ground to shoulders, then deep squat, then press the rock overhead (a thruster), then take the rock back down to the ground – that is one.
Rinse and repeat again for time. – approx 8 minutes.

Head back to launch for some mary.

Flutters in cadence x 25
Plank challenge – YHC’s 2.0s swim year round and are in better shape than YHC – so thought it would be fun to see if we could beat my 2.0’s time in their plank challenge – she posted a 3 minute time.
YHC started us late but we did get 2:45 – which was enough.

Finished.

NMM

YHC asked Lobsta for this date because it was right after YHC’s 47th bday – why YHC asked is still not clear to YHC – but anyway – as stated earlier, this workout was pretty much made up on the fly. We did not cover much ground – per Utah – YHC believes we were just a shade over 1 mile. We did get some work done though – YHC is still pretty smoked from this one. Summer of SWOL.

Great work by all and YHC loves the mubblechatter. Makes the workout more fun and the pain more managable.

Thanks Lobsta and McGee for the chance to lead – always a great AO and great group.

Shout out below anything missed.

Annoucements:

Spartan Sprint – This Saturday and Sunday

Mermaid has surgery at 8am on Friday – lift him up in your prayers.

Thats all.

Champagne Out.

Looks like strong work, old man, especially like the rock work (since I wasn’t there).

Ickey Shuffle

Split Squats on Benches & Grumpy Old Menches. That’s my witty title suggestion.
