We Ain’t Messing Around

11 ignored the temptation to sleep in on a Saturday and rose to the challenge of becoming Immortal Olympians. The Warm-Up:

• SSH x 25 IC
• Merkins x 25 IC
• Slow Goblet Squat x 25 IC
• 5 Around the World each way
• 5 Halos
• Run a lap from parking lot, up road to other entrance, back to beginning

The Thang:

Part 1:
Luck of the Draw: 1st PAX draws 2 cards, one from individual stack and one from group stack. Group performs their designated exercise until individual completes his.

Part 2:
Pair up for some football skills and circus of pain.  The timer is a pair of men who are throwing and receiving the football for 200 total yards, down and back to the group.  One guy throws it, then sprints by the guy who caught it, etc. Every drop equals 3 burpees for the footballers. During this time the other PAX are on the below pain stations:

• Farmer Carry (2) 50lbs x 70 yards
• Jump Rope
• Hair Burners 45lbs x 50 yards
• 80lb KB Deadlift
• Barbell w/ 35lb plates (115 lbs) Clean & Press
• Battle Rope
• Inch Worm w/ 25lb plates
• Pull the Tire (Harness tied to a 200lb tire)
• Forearm roller with 10lb plate
• Perfect Pushups
• Slosh Tube Lunges
• Front Raise & Extension w/ 45lb plate

Ended with 5 minutes of Mary

The Moleskine:

First, let me thank the Site Q’s past and present for putting this site out there and allowing me to come out with all my toys.  A full hour is much different than the normal 45 mins, but it also gives you the opportunity to do a great many of things all in one workout.  That’s what we did today.  We hit everything.  Luck of the draw had everyone sweating and feeling good.  A solid 20 minutes of straight kettlebell action, no breaks.  Next we headed over to my favorite part, all of the stations for feats of strength.  Our timer for this was two guys showing off their best football skills…let’s just say there were a lot of burpees out there today, except for Probations 2.0 who at 9 is already a baller.  That kid was running 50 yd outs and never dropped one.  Speaking of Brutus, he also conquered the tire and flipped it over all by himself.  That kid is going to be a beast.  Hoff as expected is a beast, however instead of just pulling the tire with the harness he threw it around his neck and then proceeded to crab walk pulling the tire…that is incredible.  We should have recorded that and sent to JJ Watt for a challenge.  Winterplace was a stud today but made no friends when he said 20 Burpees when called upon for Mary.  I’m afraid he may never be called upon again, at least from any of these guys.  We’re all better for it though!  Sound off on any more notable mentions.  It was an honor to lead you all today gentlemen!
