Going down is a lot easier than going up.



Going down is a lot easier than going up.

YHC started cooking up this beatdown during last week’s #tweetandmeat session. After losing our dear friend Foxhole(RIP) a few months ago, I was downright giddy to see 11 pax swinging iron on a Monday in SOBland. Kettlebells in the Stonecrest parking lot is great but it avoided the crown jewel of the AO, the Murderhorn. I eagerly offered to Q and spent all week looking forward to making the first weighted trip to the Murderhorn. Fast forward to 5:12 AM this morning, I am the only one sitting in the parking lot and afraid I will be carrying a sandbag up the Murderhorn by myself. A minute later Loogie and Purell joined me in the parking lot…better..but still not ideal. Thankfully several pax rolled in late and we had 8(even number!) who were given instruction to partner up, with one kettlebell, and one sandbag.

COP: Quick warm up, SSH, IW, LSS

Mosey to the top of the Murderhorn. Learn instruction for the main event. Partner one takes sandbag for a trip up and down the horn, stopping at each light and stopsign for 5 clean and front squats with the bag. Partner 2 stays at the top with the KB for an AMRAP of curls, presses, tricep extensions.

After each partner has a turn with the sandbag, weights are redistributed. Heavy sandbag to the group that finished first(70 lbs), 2nd heaviest bag to 2nd place finishers(60 lbs) and so on.

Next round: 10 sandbag squats at each light and stop sign. KB work at the top, squats, lunges, RDLs.

Redistribute weight, 3rd round. 5 presses for sandbaggers on the horn. LBCs, Flutters, and man maker merkins for KB work at the top.

Mosey back to launch. Burn out the rest of the time with 11s of KB swings and merkins. 10 swings 1 merkin, 9 swings 2 merkins, 8 swings 3 merkins……1 swing 10 merkins.

COT

Moleskine: YHC was thankful that it stopped raining by 0515 and that 7 others joined me in the gloom. #tweetandmeet is a real thing now.

Not much to say about the workout other than “Going down is a lot easier than going up”.

During the KB AMRAP there was a lot of chatter about daily offerings to the porcelain god and how it can make or break your posting for the day.

Old man Frehley’s is your Q for next week. Come see if all of his body parts are still working.

Announcements: Stay safe in the gloom. All pax should work on becoming more visible, especially at AOs that cover a lot of distance and go off campus. Trade in your black shirts for bright ones, wear reflective belts, light up straps, and headlamps.

FNG/Kotters day Convergence 3/30 at Da Vinci. Bring out any and all men that need F3.
