If the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit

22 degrees and almost that many men (18 in fact) – strong showing for a cold morning. Alas, no one brought donations for Chimbote (follow me on twitter @pchepul for pre-workout tips) so we had to do some burpees (61 if you did all the Q called). YHC brought out a mixed pair of gloves to match the temperature but neither fit (they were warm – which is all that mattered this am). Several yahoos in shorts but I think the disclaimer covers questionable decisions like that as well. That disclaimer, which can seem annoying, was pretty smart idea given some of the characters that post in the gloom and their questionable decisions

The Thang – COP with IW x10, Merkins X15, Mtn Climbers X10, 1 burbee, slow squats X10, and 2 burpees.

Mosey over to rock pile to grab a rock. 11’s in the parking lot with squats at one end and merkins as the other (10-1, 9-2, 8-3 down to 1-10) while lugging your rock the entire time. Was planning on another set of 11’s with the rock on the hill but frost bite concern had me change the plan.

Circuits of curls, push presses, and lateral extensions – 5, 10, 15 and then some mary and 3 burpees to keep the PAX enaged

Drop off the rock and mosey down to the outfield of the baseball field. Another round of 11’s up and down the hill with dolly at the top and burpees at the bottom (pax was realizing donations would have been a good idea at this point). Seems to have been some refusink going on but maybe Mermaid and others just finished the set really fast – will have to look back at the tape.

Mosey up to pavilion for circuit of step ups/jump ups, dips, and decline merkins – 5, 10, 15. Walk around to other side of concession stand for a few minutes of peoples chair.

Back to the parking lot for some cardio –

1. Backward run down to light pole and mosey back to start
2. Karoke down to light pole and mosey back
3. Karoke (other side) down to light pole and mosey back
4. Bear crawl half way and lunge walk back
5. Monkey humpers to work the quads

Mosey over to other side of church for Wall-tar jais X10 and flutter X10, Rinse and repeat

Down to parking lot by the cars for sprints down and back with merkins at each end – 5, 10, 15, 20

Stop

For a minute I thought I was at a FIA workout with all the complaining about the cold and having to get on the ground. It’s hard – get used to it. A few pax, led by Snowflake I think, apparently didn’t have on enough layers. I did give in to the complaining and didn’t keep the rocks as long as originally planned (getting soft in my old age)

Pro always seems to be complaining about Runstopper tights but he also always seems to be working out right next to RS – weird

Brushback tried to make fun of my directions (which are less than stellar sometimes) but failed miserably by calling out “Do as I say” instead of “Do as I do, not as I say).

Hops with a strong take out.

Announcements:

Joe Davis Run coming up in March. Get signed up and support our brothers who have lost loved ones to addiction.

Paper Jam has the Q Friday at The Brave so one of us needs to post so he doesn’t have to work out by himself

Track down Scratch and Win about a Men’s Retreat coming up in mid March. He was pretty convincing in his proclamation that will be worth the effort (probably a sales guy during the day)

Continuing to take donations for Chimbote trip – PAX can drop off at 3912 Brinton Place (put in the car port) or reach out to me to arrange a meeting.
