YE OLDE NAKED MOLESKINE
What a crew this morning! Lots of congratulations going around about the big Clemson win with Fireman Ed and Busch leading the charge.They just kept on coming and with a final tally of 30 pax it was a good group but not too much time to chit chat with the speedy low slow squat and me wanting to get to the meat and potatoes. After speaking with Bananas yesterday the plan was to get the heart and the lungs going while working on strength. Hoover said his heart was about to burst during round 4 so I guess mission accomplished. Brown hates the running and his quick exit this morning was hopefully a work related issue and not him coughing up a lung. Other highlights: Freedom getting out in front, Header’s new Simba look, Lex Luthor keeping the Go Ruck dream alive, Good Hands and his pitiful dry dogs, someone complaining about slippery bells…
Its a good time to get back in the saddle and stay consistent. I know I need it and its lads like you that make me wake up at unearthly hours to get healthy, have a laugh, and forge friendships that makes the sacrifice well worth it. Thanks for allowing me to lead. BD

I do remember Bulldog yelling: “No way! No way!” as Fireman Ed was out in front on almost every set on the field. But you gotta hand it to the gingered one, he just kept calling guys out for bad form….some people just don’t get it. Skunkworks is always the best-worst 45 minutes of my week when I post…thanks for the whoopin’ Bulldog. Has someone seen my right rotator cuff? Pretty sure I lost it out there this morning.
Simple and brutal. Sounds like another workout I know. Great job BD. Sore and tired, but feels good. The fiddy KB jacked the back early on and left me no choice but to squat and run most of the time…but I got enough. Shoulda run back to car for reinforcements like Nanners. Great to see all the O.G. faces from back in the day. Always makes it worth it to post knowing the rowdy crowd will get you through. I did wait until the count to bounce.
This is why I love Skunkworks so much – great use of KB exercises with lot’s of short interval running – solid full body beat down Bulldog – thanks!
I was in inspiration corner with Freedom and Smokey staying ahead of me and Lex Luther killing it with his ruck – strong work! I was a little dizzy trying to jump up and sprint after the Louganis’, and I appreciate the encouragement as I was weaving to and fro and trying to miss running into you Brown. Great to see you back in the gloom Busch. Despite new work commitments on Tuesdays, I hope to get back out to Skunk more regularly in 2017.
