Welcoming back the sandbags to Anvil

Welcoming back the sandbags to Anvil

Read the Fast Twitch back blast yesterday and between that and Margo’s Strava update it appeared he was in no shape to be Q’ing Anvil today.  After reaching out, he was more than happy to postpone the Q in favor of some fartsacking and recovery.  Get well Margo.  My condolences to the rest who endured my Anvil Subusti-Q

10 Men posted on a great December morning for a workout.  Mosey to front parking lot for COT:

IW, SSH, Low Slow Squats, Mountain Climbers.

Move over to the hot box for:  3 rounds of 15 split leg squats (each leg), 15 Derkins, 15 Flutters.  Head right over to the other side of the box for wall sits, low wall sits and arm raises.

Off to the playground and partner up.  P1 does 10 pull-ups or to failure.  P2 does 10 Burpees.  Flap-jack and repeat 5 times through.  That’s 50 burpees for McGee who didn’t show.

Move out of the playground to the waiting sandbags.

P1 Carry sandbag out to light-pole, P2 does 10 merkins and chases down P1, swap sand-bag and return.  P2 Does 10 merkins when they get back.  Repeat for 4 trips.

P1 run down around light pole while P2 does Good Mornings with bag.  Flap Jack then repeat.

P1 run down around light pole while P2 does Chest Press with bag.  Flap Jack then repeat.

Catch me if you can.  P1 carry sandbag, P2 does 5 jump squats and chases down P1.    Flapjack and repeat until we get to cars.

Mary – Freddy Mercury, Heels to Heaven, and Cumberland County Viaducts or whatever those side raise things are called.

Done.

Moleskine:

A great morning to be out in some perfect December weather.  2 Respects and 2 teenagers rounded out the group of 10.  Mash, in on a break from the Air Force Academy, and Nemo were crushing it all morning, but Big League Chew and Marlin were right behind, ready to teach those whipper snappers a thing or two.  O’Tannebaum snuck out of the darkness a few minutes into the workout like usual.  Fault Line likes the sand bags so much he made his own.  Be on the lookout.  Turkey Leg brought his Brother-In-Law Bulls-eye in from Wisconsin.  He made quick work of the sandbags.  Apparently that’s the same size as a small block of cheese out there.  My partner Abba made the sand bag carry’s look easy.  I’m pretty sure his pace didn’t change much if he had the bag or not.

Thanks to Abba for the takeout.
