Dropping the Hammer on Anvil

Dropping the Hammer on Anvil

18 men showed up at Anvil this AM.  Only one man pre-requested an exercise.  The rest got stuck with it.  The men of Anvil are accustomed to highly difficult workouts and this would hopefully hit the mark.  I felt bad for the 2 FNG’s he really didn’t know what they got themselves into.

5:30 the hammer drops.  Let’s roll.

Mosey around the parking lot and to the astroturf entrance of the Church for COP of Merkins, Burpees, Squats, Peter Parker, Freddy Mercury, and something else I forgot.

Partner up.  Exactly 9 pairings worked out nicely for the 9 pieces of gear I had.

Run over and grab a lifting rock, 1 per team and head over to the entrance near the soccer fields.  There I had 8 weight plates and one speed sled with 50 lbs on it.

9 Rotations of the following:  P1 does Hariburners, Speed Sled, or plate grip carry while P2 does: Merkins, Jump Squats, Curls, Triceps, OH press, Rockies, Good Mornings, Goblet Squats, and Lougainis.  The timer for each round was the pair on the speed sled.

Go put the rocks back and a little CMIYC with the plates on the way back to the car.  Most were right on time but Icky and Champagne dragged the speed sled all the way back to be a minute or so late.  It still looked way easier than that Smokey Mountain Relay they ran.

Moleskine:

Already late so I’ll be brief.

Hard to hear a lot of mumble chatter out there with a speed sled and 8 plates a burnin’ but lots of work being put in.  The teams of Icky/Champagne and Lobsta/McGee picked some boulders for lifting rock.  Sorry if you got those on your triceps or curl rotations.  Some others were pretty light and you may want to reevaluate what you determine an appropriate lifting rock.  Good to see Cane back out.  Haven’t seen much of him since he became full time entrepreneur.  Go see him at his garage, and advocate we re-name him to Cooter.  Great work by the new guys Tri Delt who is McGee’s auditor and The Wall who apparently caught Purple Haze at the mailbox or the community pool, learned about F3 and rode his bike up from the apartments.  (Haze usually drives the half mile to Anvil)

Thanks to McGee and Lobsta for the Q, Mermaid for the sendoff, and the PAX for digging deep to get through that one.
