Drag Some Swag

Drag Some Swag

10 souls eschewed the warm confines of their respective Sacks of Fart, braved the chilly gloom of South Charlotte, and became stronger men, both as a group and as individuals.

THE THANG

YHC promised a 0.0, and delivered, mostly.

Mosey to adjacent lot, circle up. Disclaimer was given, but was met with hungry stares. These men wanted pain. “Let’s get to work”, their silent, steely gazes commanded. Aye!

Warmup

• SSH x20
• Merkin IC x15
• IW x20
• 5 burpees OYO

Enough of that. Mosey back to the rally point. There in the still of the gloom lay 10 Stations of Pain awaiting these Valiant Warriors from Charlotte’s Southland. 10 stations, 10 PAX. Perfect. Each man jumps on a station:

• 50′ Fire Hose (Thanks, Hoff!): NOTE: This is the timer for the other exercises. Rest of PAX performs exercise at each station while one man drags the hose 40-ish yards out and back. When the hose returns, switch and move to the next station. Do not stop until we complete a round.
• Kettlebells of varying degrees of manliness. Exercise varies by round (see below)
• Cones marking the following exercises:
  • Low, Slow Squats
  • Bear Crawl – (reverse direction when hose reverses direction)
  • Burpees
  • Carolina Dry Docks
  • LBCs
  • Jumping Squats
  • Merkins
  • Sister Mary Catherine

Round 1: 2-handed KB Swings
Round 2: 2-handed KB curls

Quick break for some People’s Chair. Grab some wall.

• Round 1: 60 seconds
• Round 2: Heard Geraldo calling from afar for arm raises. Fireman Ed led us in the strangest cadence YHC has ever heard. Then YHC took over and it got even worse. I don’t think we made friends here.
• Round 3: Arms out, 60 seconds

Return to stations for Round 3: This time KB Snatch-Thrusts. Dark Helmet attempted to school YHC in physics here, pointing out that the lighter KB was easier to sling around than the heavier. I probably should’ve listened. I’ll know more on that tomorrow AM.

Circle up for some Mary.

• The Flutter
• Sid the Kid
• LBCs?
• Rosalita
• Protractor

MOLESKIN

• It was an absolute honor to lead these men today. I’m humbled in the presence of such strength and determination. Solid work by all. Tclaps to Robin Hood, moving that hose like it was his job. Looking strong out there, Good Sir!
• Happy birthday Insomniac! Tclaps on another trip around the sun.
• Not a lot of mumblechatter out there this morning. I take that as a compliment.
• The rest is a blur of oxygen deprivation.
