Not just one, but two shovel flags were planted this morning to inspire the pax. 33 sweaty dudes embraced the muggy conditions as they ventured out into the gloom.
WARMUP:
- Short jog around the parking lot. Mix in some high knees and butt kicks for good measure.

Mosey to the end of parking lot and partner up for wall work. Partner 1 performs called exercise until partner 2 finishes 10 burpees. Flapjacks. Plank when done.
- Round 1 – Wall Plank
- Round 2 – Balls to Wall

Jog down to the track and find your partner. Catch me if you can. Partner 1 half-speed jog; partner 2 performs called exercise and sprint to catch partner 1. Flapjacks around the track and plank when you complete each lap.

Moleskin:
- Early conversation turned to the John Deere tractor parked among all the cars this morning. Rumor has it that someone saw Bulldog riding down Hwy 51 mowing the grass on the way to DV this morning.
- Strong work by all this morning, especially ignoring the unsavory humidity.
- Welcome to FNG Slim Fast. Good work out there, hope to see you back out soon.
- Welcome also to Barracuda, who ventured south of his normal Metro workout spots. Hope you come back and join us again.
- Several Fast Twitch guys asking before the workout if there would be a lot of running. YHC knows first-hand that Turkey Leg smoked our legs yesterday (not even counting the ridiculous running double down some did last night), so I built in a bit of a leg recovery workout.
