Moleskin:

I wanted to try something different at The Maul. The gear used this morning included an 80lb punching bag, Kettlebells (35, 45, 70lbs), 25lb weighted ball, Dumbells (20, 30, 40lbs), jump rope, and 5 weight plates. We did no running and just rotated through the pain stations for the entire workout with a goal of completing 2 sets of each pain station. Not sure about the rest of the PAX, but YHC was absolutely smoked, especially after the hair burners.

In the middle of the workout, a female drove a nice Mercedes SUV directly through the middle of our pain stations. YHC was worried she was going to try to join the PAX for a little self-inflicted pain, so I gathered my thoughts on how to let her down easily, give our workout is for men only. As it turns out, she was just viewing the lunar eclipse and enjoyed having sweaty dudes to stare at along with the moon.

Great work by everyone today. It was a pleasure leading the men in The Gloom.

Announcements:

New workout on Friday in Ballantyne, The Brave at 0515 at the Vine Restaurant in the Ballantyne AO. It’s designed as a running and obstacle training style workout to prepare the PAX for mud and obstacle races. The goal will be to cover 4-5 miles each week with several obstacles throughout the run. There will also be a rope climbing clinic at 0455 to allow the PAX to practice techniques for climbing ropes.

Anyone else agree that Ickey Shuffle (part of Anvil pax this morning) and Cold Cuts need to post together and do some partner work?

Tussaud. It was duly noted you put a lot of thought and effort into the setting up of the pain stations, question is what time did you get there this morning to set up, a dedicated Q indeed. Bean feeling the pain as I type.
