Moleskin:

It was YHC’s first post of the New Year and I planned on making it a good one. The KB ladder is one of my favorite KB workouts. You feel like you’ve accomplished something with you get through the 5^th set, until you realize you’re not even near half way done. Mic Check suggested that I call and audible half way through, but I wasn’t backing down. It hurts…. a great kind of hurt.

The KB, merkin, LBC circuit was meant to repeatedly pound your upper body alternating between KB moves and merkins/LBCs. I don’t think I could have done any more merkins after that.

Shout out to Mic Check for introducing Foxhole to a new Mary exercise (apparently introduced to him by Strange Brew) the elbow plank while all the PAX counted down from 10. It was painful and way to long.
