Breaking the routine over the Anvil

The SF was firmly planted by Mermaid, and 15 humpday warriors set out for another hammering at Anvil. Beaver joined us a couple minutes into our warmup run..and that was fortuitous as we needed an even number for all the partner work YHC had in store for the pax.

Quick COT:

Burpee x 35 for Boutique & Mermaid while rest of pax did LBC x 35

COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

TR will be disappointed to learn that only the Q was sleeveless on this 44 degree morning.  Nevertheless, the pax put in a good showing and pushed themselves…except Gummy, YHC’s partner.  Just kidding brother – strong work – was good partnering with you despite your constant sarcasm and mumblechatter.

Good to have Dear Abby in the Southlands with us; and Beaver showed up for a midweek downPainment – glad to have you guys with us at Anvil.   Also great to see Hammer back after a 3 month hiatus.

7 pairs of shoes collected – which meant 35 burpees for Boutique, the ShoeQ of Anvil.   YHC had some trouble with the math on that.  #liberalartsdegree

T-claps to Site Q Mermaid for bringing 6 of the 7 pairs.  He, too, did the burpees.  Most of the pax did 35 LBCs and a couple did burpee/LBC combo.

Gummy & YHC pert near had a collision with Hacksaw & Rehab during one of the pulls/pushes on the pitch — that would not have ended well for us.

Some unorthodox stuff on the menu this morning so hope YHC didn’t disappoint.  Again, strong work out there men.

Lots of touching going on at the Anvil this AM.

Sarcasm is my love language.

We need to add to the disclaimer to cover a few of the exercises we did this morning. “During some exercises, another man may put his hand in areas that make you uncomfortable [partner incline merkins]. In others, you may find yourself directly underneath a man straddling your head, with nothing to protect you from dripping perspiration from unmentionable places [prarie fire mary].”

Good workout this morning. Your focus on shoulders lately has been good for me.

Enjoyed the smoker Hops. Men touching in the dark just isn’t right. Lucky no FNGs #scarredforlife
