Back in the Saddle Again

Back in the Saddle Again

Exchanged a few messages with co-site Q Harley yesterday and as it turns out there was a open slot in the Skunkworks schedule for today. Having missed the last two weeks due to nagging back issue, I was a little hesitant to pick it up but decided to give it a go and break out the lighter bell. 4 of us arrived bright and early for a 5k pre-run, nice to shake out the cobwebs and loosen the joints.
This close to a holiday, with many of the pax traveling or taking the day off – it was nice to see a few more cars in the lot when we returned from the pre-run. With a total of 9, the disclaimer was given and we did the following:

Ssh x20 IC
20 swings OYO
Imperial Walker x20 IC
10 cleans each arm
Merkin right Hand on bell x20 IC
10 Shoulder presses each arm
Merkin left hand on bell x20 IC
10 snatches each arm

Partner up similar bell-
Farmer Carry Walk to lower lot Near Benches
P1 carry walk
P2 10 merkins flapjack

Partner work at benches
P1 On Bell P2 runs loop around median – flapjack until total reps
100 Goblet squats
100 Cleans
200 Swings
200 Overhead presses
200 Dips (bell on lap bonus)
100 Chest press pullovers on bench

Farmer carry walk back to top lot 10 Merkin or diamond (if you got it) chaser

Moleskin: Great group of regulars this morning – eager to get to work. Plenty of reps and a decent amount of running to allow the pax to feel like it was well worth getting up at the crack of dawn this morning. Several of the pax were multitasking this morning, catching up with pals and finding out what everyone got for Christmas. The attempt of traveling tunes was met with some comments when nickelback kept popping up (thanks pandora workout radio). Thankfully the bluetooth speaker died w/a few minutes remaining.
No way to hide from the partner rep combos – you either do the work or your partner pays for it. Seemed like everyone was pulling thier fair share of the combined weight out there this morning. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves out there this morning. It was nice to get out there and move the bells around.
