Keeping it under a mile

21 Men of Integrity posted at Anvil this AM. As a man of integrity, I was true to my tweeted word: Mileage low, Awfulness High.

Mosey all the way from the new parking area to the old parking area for quick COP warmup.
SSH and Mountain Climbers. No running so no need to hit the Imperial Walkers.

Mosey to rock pile and grab a lifting rock (BTW – If you can palm your rock, its not a “lifting rock”. No names but this may or may not have been the case with a few of you.) Return to circle.

Round 1:
20x Diamonds
20x Front Raises with Rock
20x Goblet Squat with Rock
8x 8-count Body Builder
Repeat this 3 times through then run ~50 yards out and back.

Round 2:
20x Staggered Right Hand on Rock Merkins
20x Overhead press with Rock
20x Tea Bag Squat with Rock
8x 8-count Body Builder
Repeat this 3 times through then run ~50 yards out and back.

Round 3:
20x Staggered Left Hand on Rock Merkins
20x On your six – Overhead Lat Pull with Rock
20x Flutter with Rock Press
8x 8-count Body Builder
Repeat this 3 times through then run ~50 yards out and back.

Round 4 – for the Girls:
20x Curls with Rock
20x Tricep Extensions with Rock
20x Romanian Dead Lift with Rock 10R/10L
8x 8-count Body Builder
Repeat this 3 times through then return rock and back to Circle.

Some plank-o-rama between rounds.

Freddie Mercury for the finish, the mosey back to launch.

Done.

Moleskine:

Lots of work, little chatter today as the effort was consistent and solid. A few jeers on starting it off with the diamonds, but knowing we had 180 Merkins and 96 Body Builders coming, I knew Diamonds were going to be near impossible late in the game. Also some early concern on only Staggered Arm Right merkins for Round 2. What about the left? We were making the Right stronger because per Wikipedia, and the Internet is always right, a Lefty man makes 5% more than Right handed man? How is this travesty of a wage gap not front and center of the presidential election? Is there F3 in Canada, because I might need to go there if this isn’t first on the agenda for the new administration?

Yeah, the Q got called out for mixing the order up on one round and having to double back on the 8-count body builders. Too much thinking ahead to keep things moving. Glad to see whoever that was watching me and not doing work. Speaking of calling out, Haze apparently felt Fraiser wasn’t meeting the standard this morning. Fraiser rebutted that he was a Man of Integrity. If you feel otherwise, chase him down and let him know.

One FNG – Dave T. – “Schneider” If you were born in the 80’s you don’t get this, ask Haze because he is old and pulled that name out.

Great work by all and thanks Champagne for the watch that YHC forgot to bring and to McGee for the takeout.

That one hurt – solid Q today Alf. Thanks again for the lead.

And yes, I’m looking for ideas for 2nd F options for the Pax. If you have something you would like to have considered, shoot me an email. bdbriggs@gmail.com Some ideas are pool party (including M’s and 2.0s), football season pig pickin, maybe even a “friendly” paintball competiion against the SOBs. Just some ideas – anything you got, send it my way.

Great Q Alf, if it wasn’t for being slaughtered on Monday at Mint Hill. I’m gonna be calling your name in ugly tones the next few days.

Good to be back at Anvil for the first time in a long time, and to not have it raining there which always seemed to happen during or right before a workout there.

Here’s a link to sign up and Q at Mint Hill. We have a good core of guys in the Pax, but it’s been a bit of a challenge to nudge them to Q more than once. So any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks for swapping Q dates and covering me today Alf. 1st full participation post since February. Had to skip the plank jacks but threw in a few extra merkins for good measure. Solid beating and great to be back out.
