Naked Moleskine:

Great group of meatheads out there today, including site FNG Byron & Squid (1st or 2nd time out?).  Gummy and Stump Hugger were out, continuing to recover from all that running nonsense – good to see you.  And many familiar iron wielders.  Stay Puft was our War Daddy (War Chicken?  Rallying cry for that other Alabama school that shall go unnamed in this respectable backblast)(still, respect based on age and the run in), while Sanka took War Baby honors.

There was some mumblechatter and funny looks when YHC called for a mosey with your bells (regular + one smaller), but all was ok once the playground was reached.  The call for 100 1-hand swings had a few questioning their choice of bells, which led to the explanation of the 2nd bell (don’t smoke yourself this early in the workout).

Only a few grumbles were heard in reply to the call for Turkish getups, so the substitutionary 100 burpees went unused.  Well done by all.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.  Contact YHC to get on the Q rotation, if you’re not already on it.

Thanks, Byron, for taking us out and reminding us of all we have and who we are and the responsibilities & opportunities we have.

Aye!

What pray tell is a Prying Squat? Sounds painful and invasive.
