Pain in the Rain

Pain in the Rain

In the sub-40’s rainy gloom, 3 of the baddest Sons of Ballantyne stepped out onto the Elon Park AO for an epic workout of which legends are made.

Once Bratwurst got the optimal layering situated, HB figured out how to turn off his truck lights, and Frehley’s put on his ben-gay (old bones), we struck out across the AO to where the puddles are the deepest and the mud the thickest.  We then passed by there and went to the bus stop awning and remained there for the rest of the workout.

Here’s what we did:

• SSH x 20
• Forward Lunge x 10
• Imperial Walkers x 20
• Side Lunge x 10
• Mtn Climbers x 20
• Merkins x 20

COP #1

• Turkish getups x 3 per side
• Biceps (top to ½) x 10
• Triceps extensions x 10
• Turkish getups x 3 per side + 5 deck squats
• Biceps (bottom to ½) x 10
• Scull crushers x 10
• Turkish getups x 3 per side + 5 deck squats
• Biceps (full range) x 10
• Diamond merkins x 10

COP #2 (in same place)

• Slow merkins x 20

If time, hit some swings and such…

• 2 hand swings x 20

• Dying cockroach
• Flutter with KB press
• LBC with KB

Moleskine:

Good time out there even though the weather was bad.  The awning made it tolerable.  YHC found out that a raincoat makes for difficult KB moves with excessive swishing noises.  Reminiscent of Frazier blowing past you at full sprint.

Frehley’s is a beast and grabbed the 44 lb’er for many of the exercises. Bratwurst was rocking the Turkish get-up by the end.  As usual, Brat out ran the PAX on the way back (even with a 30+ lb KB).  That’s just how it goes…

Until next time gentlemen!
