The Winter Makes for Soft Hands

The Winter Makes for Soft Hands

14 men posted at The Matrix to get the week off on the right foot.  The Q showed up with a few ideas but no real weinke.  (you may have noticed.)

The Thang:

Mosey the long way around the school with some shuffles in the lower parking lot.  Circle up by playground for COP in Cadence:  Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, Low Slow Squats, Plank Jacks.

Head to path on side of school for modified triple nickel:  At playground do 5 pull-ups, at Stumps do 5 Jump ups.  Every time you pass the path do 10 decline merkins with feet on railing. (both directions = 10 passes and 100 derkins)

When finished some Mary by the cars while the 6 completes the work.

Head to blocks and partner up.

P1:  Overhead press     P2: Sprint to far light post and back.  flapjack to 200 OH presses

Repeat with 200 Flutter with press

Repeat with 150 Good Mornings and shorten sprint to first light post but add 5 burpees at the turn.

Various plank-o-rama in between.

Return blocks.  Sprint field, first have backward then turn and finish forward.

1 minute left for 10 burpees on your own.

Moleskine:

Really strong group today.  Rhapsody was crushing the triple nickel and using the high railing for derkins.  McGee complained it wasn’t hard enough, but still had gloves on in 60 degrees.  Mile High was back after his FNG post there last week – looking good and hanging in there.  Always great to see Young Love get the chance to escape the herd of children for an hour.  I know it can’t be easy – and he brought the take out prayer with him.  Great stuff.

Thanks to Squid for managing the site and being my partner today.  Slow, steady and impeccable form.  More may have happened but it’s been a crazy day and you are lucky I got this out at all.  And as for the title – I think most guys were feeling the rough pavement after they wintered over with gloves on for the workout.  Time to get the man hands back.

No announcements.
