New AO; same old bricks

A gear workout is an easy excuse to bring out YHC brick pavers. I’ve had some ideas; let’s see how they work out.

The Thang:

Circle – Disclaimer: I have never led a gear/kettlebell workout. I don’t know what I’m doing!
– SSH x 20
– 2 Handed Swing x 20
– LBC x 20; IW x 20
– Good Morning x 20
– Flutter x 20
– Figure 8 x 20 (10 each way)
– Heels to Heaven x 20

Partner: Grab 4 pavers among each 2 man group; grab 1 bell per group. Mosey over to basketball courts.

– Basketball Court: 1 Pax carries all 4 pavers and drop 1 off at each corner while the other does said exercise. Once all dropped off flap jack, and partner # 2 picks them up.
o 1st round: 2 hand swing.
o 2nd round: bent rows/lawnmower.
o 3rd round: snatch.
o 4th round: clean
o 5th round: clean/press

– Man maker merkins with bricks x 10; relax, x 5

– Back to courts for next round. Partners flap jack in that the one who placed the bricks will be the one picking them up.
o 5 rounds as above.

– Man maker merkins with bricks x 5

3 Man grinders: Partner #1: people’s chair paver air raises. Partner #2: run between Pax. Partner #3: goblet squat

Collect toys and Indian Run (sort of) back to the cars.

Circle of Bells. Pax call each exercise and lift until next Pax calls another – one round.

End.

Moleskin:

– This was fun. 1st time leading a gear workout. I need to go more often to learn the Kettlebell lifts. Good site too.
– It was crazy warm for the 3rd week of December. Shorts at Christmas. Crazy
– Thanks for the hospitality Voodoo.
– Thanks for the take out Frehley’s.

Announcements:
– Joe Davis – sign up!

Strong work, Strawberry! That was a great beatdown and a nice mix of kettlebells and bricks. It’s amazing how hard the man-maker merkins were with the bricks in your hands. Thanks for getting out of your comfort zone and leading the PAX at Foxhole. You’re always welcome to come back and join us.
