Please pass the Kettlebell

Pull into the parking lot and see about 30 cars already there. Me: Hey, my reputation as a Q has really spread! Reality: They’re not here for Overdrive… Oh well, still had 7 strong guys ready to push themselves!

Warm up:
– SSH (30)
– Windmill (15)
– Merkins (20)
The Thang:

HB mile to get loose

The Star:

Point 1: 20 LSS with sandbag
Point 2: 20 KB Good Mornings
Point 3: 20 KB squat/curl/press
Point 4: 40 LBCs

Round 2: repeat round 1 but increase reps by 5; Merkins in the middle

Round 3:
Middle: 5 Burpees – no wait, HB wants to make it 10 (after each point)
Point 1: Lunge walk with sandbag
Point 2: 25 KB Swings
Point 3: 25 KB Goblet Squats
Point 4: 50 Mountain climbers

Time for a quick test of our teamwork and physical and cognitive abilities:
On your six in a tight circle facing out
every other pax with a KB
pass the KB to your right on 1, to your chest on 2, press overhead on 3, back to chest on 4; after passing a KB, do airpress on 3
repeat until everyone is in sync – or close to it
once mastered, reverse direction
(be ready for the 40 lb KB)

A bit of Mary:
Dolly (33)
Protractor – pass around the call twice

Moleskine:
Good work by all this morning with nice chatter. Thanks to HB who correctly chastised YHC for calling for only 5 burpees in the star middle so we quickly went to 10 – much to the delight of all. Not sure how well the KB pass worked. No loud complaints but likely because the pax were glad to be on their sixes for a few minutes. Brought some old school music that was a nice break from recent GJ music that makes me tired just listening to it. Great to see Spielberg and Jabberwocky out along with many of the regulars. Thanks to Glass Joe for taking us out and thanks to the guys for letting me lead this morning. Prayers for The Count and his family after the recent passing of his father.
