There’s Something I Hate about Mary

There’s Something I Hate about Mary

The VSF was firmly planted and 8 PAX slowly took off for a short mosey.  Not sure if anyone wore a GPS watch today but I doubt we exceeded more than half a mile.  YHC apologizes for nagging hamstring, so didn’t want to be running much today.  Therefore, PAX were in for a high rep chest, back, and ab day with some leg workouts in the mix.

Mosey around lower parking lot loosen the legs some and get the heart rate moving slightly north.

Moleskin:

Started off with little mumble chatter.  Maybe a bit of the Mondays, maybe PAX just focused on getting their money’s worth.  The mumble chatter did begin to increase during the Hand Release Merkins, and significantly so during the 100 called sit ups.

The workout was a grind.  Long and hard workout.  Focused on high reps, it just took time.  But by the end Pecs, Quads, Abs, should have been fried.

YHC called an audible to 75 sit ups in fear of a mutiny, however we finished up those left out reps and some during 7 minutes of Mary.

burpees after 100 squates = hard.

burpees after 50 hand release merkins = harder

Great seeing Young Love, have not seen him in months due to summer travel and conflicting workout days.

Tclaps to Gumbo, site FNG and first day back out to F3 in 2 months. YHC apologizes for almost causing the merlot to spill.  The first one back is always the hardest after an extended leave.

Encouragement to all Pax.  Don’t stop posting, we lose it quickly.

Tclaps to Coal Miner’s Daughter every time YHC posts at Matrix, I notice that he is incredible shape.  Beasts the pull ups

Tclaps to Alf for giving me advice on taking care of Hamstring
