BACKSTAGE PASS:

NAKED MOLESKINE:

Great group of guys out there this morning, working hard.  Nice mix of veteran PAX and newer PAX, as well as a few young guys to bring down our average age quite a bit. Not much mumble chatter was heard.  Maybe that was because YHC was close to the speaker, or maybe that was because he was trying not to get lost, despite the index card at his feet.  YHC forgot about the 2 handed swings planned after each exercise until about half way done with the first round.  We tried to catch up a little, but you are free to complete these at home if you feel slighted.  Also, YHC forgot about the P2 Merkins for a bit, but nobody really seemed to care.

The plan was to get a good overall body warmup with the first half, and then really push ourselves with the doubles.  Music was “upped” to heaver metal since we were swinging heavier metal. Despite having an even 12 PAX, somehow YHC ended up without a partner. #Iwillsurvive (or maybe) #AllyouF3brothersaremypartners sounds better.  Didn’t matter really.  All YHC has to say about the doubles is that everyone kept pushing to finish their reps.  Not much modification was seen.  Some odd grunts and moans and breaths were heard during the double snatches.  At least some of the PAX were using some really heavy looking KBs this morning. #Meatheads.  YHC remembered some sage advice prior to his VQ and used lighter KBs so as not to fail in front of the PAX today.

The whole “take turns with a farmer carry around the circle while the rest of us do ab exercises and then pass off to the next person” didn’t go so well.  I’ll just leave it at that.  #Confusion.  #QFail.  YHC will say that this was supposed to be a nice wind down and picked tunes to represent the celebration of just finishing some hard double KB work.  However, 3/4 through the ab exercises and they seemed harder than the double snatches.  Finally just gave up and offered option to do a few more double KB exercises #10minutesistoolongformetalmary.  Due to a combination of missing a few reps of 2 handed swings early on and iron men PAX who just kept going without long breaks, we simply finished faster than expected.  Hence the prolonged metal mary and awkward ending.  Look out for next time #alreadyhavesomeideas.

Thanks to HT and Brown for the chance to lead you fine men today.  It was an honor and a pleasure.    I know I’m stronger because of it.
