Field Trip

with the heat and humidity in full effect, 9 men including 1 FNG and 1 Site FNG took to the hallowed grounds of ELE to get their Saturday off to a good start.

COP:

Merkins x15 IC

Snatch x5 per arm OYO

Air Squats x15 IC

Clean and Press x5 per arm OYO

Two-Handed KB Swings OYO

Main Event/Field Trip to Carmel Baptist:
Jog over to baseball field at Carmel Baptist and gather behind the wall beyond the outfield to find an assortment of medicine balls and sand bags, partner up and pick a ball/bag to carry.

P1 carries weighted element to wall, throws ball/bag on ledge on top of wall, climbs the wall, picks up the ball/bag and runs to entrance gate and returns to start point. P2 does called exercise and flapjack until both have completed a round. 4 rounds were completed with each team using a different element each round so we could all experience the different weights. Called movements were: wide arm merkins, diamond merkins, carolina dry docks and regular merkins.

50 LBC’s OYO, then gather the balls and sandbags and mosey back to ELE parking lot. switch heavier ones out as needed, lighter ones were carried by1 pax all the way back.

KB ladders:

Round 1: 2,4,6,8 reps of Snatch per arm/1 arm swing/clean and press per arm.

Round 2: 2,4,6,8 reps of Sumo squat/Upright rows/good mornings-if done early work your back down the ladder until all pax are done.

Guys were smoked so that’s as far as we got.

Mary, pax-assisted: Fletch called flutter w/KB press, Jordy called Russian twist, Winterplace called x15 burpees OYO, Ickey Shuffle called 1 minute of 2 handed KB swings to finish the hour.

Moleskin:

Good work men as that one was a smoker. the jog and weighted element carry over at Carmel Baptist I think took a lot more out of us than was expected. Excellent job by Fletch and Winterplace moving at a rapid place carrying theirs back to ELE while the rest of us moved much slower. Thanks to Byron for supplying us with several medicine balls and a sand bag and also for meeting YHC early to get them over to Carmel. The ladders were also tough, but everyone pushed through. Ickey Shuffle impressed as usual by showing iron will with that huge KB of his. Don’t know what I was thinking by trying those Jack Webbs, but that really put us over the edge. Good to see Jordy back out there. Also good to have site FNG Toolman from Metro. Welcome to FNG Peaches (Michael A). He’s from Gaffney, SC (home of the peach water tower) so he was aptly named. Crawdad is official now as he finally went out and purchased his own kettlebell so no turning back now my friend.
