Sweatin’ and Swingin’

Sweatin’ and Swingin’

18 men, including 1 FNG, came out to the August morning humidity that we’ve all grown to know and love.  It sure doesn’t take long to get a t-shirt soaked in August!

While laying in bed last night and listening to the downpour outside, YHC got concerned over my weinke, as I tend to be soft enough to try to avoid getting my feet wet when possible.  Therefore, instead of joining the faithful pre-runners this morning at 5 am, I was making strategical adjustments to our plan at my kitchen table.

At 5:29, the pre-runners arrived back to the AO– a little slower pace this morning, guys??  At promptly 5:30, the disclaimer was given and we gathered for COP.  As your newly inserted co-site Q (with Blazing Saddles), there was a slightly different feel in the air as we began.  Or maybe that was just the humidity talking?  Anyway, COP went like this:

SSH x 15, IW x 15, KB swings x 20, LSS x 15, Cleans x 10, KB swings x 20, Merkins x 10, MCs x 15, KB swings x 20.

Having worked ourselves into a good lather, the workout went like this:

Partner up, like KBs suggested.  Catch me if you can to lower administrative parking lot (the lot to the left on the opposite side of campus) with P1 doing 3 burpees.

Once the PAX all arrived at the bottom of the admin lot, instructions for the partner work were given.  Each man would complete 2 rounds of the pair of exercises (4 in total, Fireman Ed) with some form of Mary in between sets.

1st round– Overhead Press and Upright Rows.  P1 does exercise while P2 runs up the parking lot and around the median before returning.  Repeato.

2nd round– Bicep curls and Overhead Tricep Press.  P1 does exercise while P2 runs.  Repeato.

3rd round– Snatches and Lunges.  P1 does exercise while P2 runs.  Repeato.

4th round– Flutter press and Louganis.  P1 does exercise while P2 runs.  Repeato.

Mosey back to base and done.  Almost 2 minutes late, however!  YHC must improve his efficiency– my apologies, men.

Moleskin:

Great group of men out this morning!  Welcome Steffi– hope you enjoyed it.  I tried to keep today’s workout dry and simple.  Adding the second round to each set increased the difficulty.  I speak on behalf of Blazing Saddles and myself when I say that it is an honor to lead such an incredible AO.  We look forward to serving you all at Skunkworks!
