Howling Monkeys

15 of Anvil’s finest gathered in the stobe light lit gloom for YHC’s first “real” Q.

Thang

COP consisting of Merkins x 10 / Wide Arm Merkins x 10 / Diamond Merkins x 9 / Low Slow Squat x 10 / Mountain Climbers x 10 / Peter Parker x 10 / Parker Peter x 10 all done IC. Finished the COP with the Howling Monkey.

Mosey to the top of North Face. Run the long loop around to the bottom of North Face. Do 5 Turk n Burps. Run to the top of North Face and do 5 Jump Squats. Complete this 3 times through.

Quick plank to wait for the six. Mosey over to the street that has the red curbs on both sides. Complete 2 full rotations of the Wheel of Merkin.

Mosey over to the rock pile near the baseball field. Grab a lifting/running rock. Continue the mosey over to the playground for the main event. A broken Murph Rock Ladder. Complete 1 Pull-Up, 2 Merkins, 3 Rock Squats, and then run to the nearest basketball goal and back with the rock. Keep ascending the ladder next doing 2 Pull-Ups, 4 Merkins, 6 Rock Squats. Continue adding 1, 2, and 3 to each until time expires. Return rocks and run back to the launch for COT.

Moleskin

As mentioned earlier, this was YHC’s first real Q. Real meaning that there was cadence and a lot of instruction given. There were a couple of Q fails. One in the first 2 minutes. YHC got a little over zealous with the Merkins to start. I think the Howling Monkey was a hit with the PAX. Although watching another man do Monkey Humpers was not great. Maybe a point of view modification is necessary in the future. This is also YHC’s first BB so hopefully I covered everything. Thanks to everyone for coming out. I hope everyone got something out of it.

Announcements

Hops mentioned a couple of 3rd F opportunities available, but YHC wasn’t able to gather them. Maybe Hops can comment to give a little more information on these.

Tough workout Rachel, as expected. Went after the cadence count out of the gate. Great job with that and with leading the workout. Howling monkey a dicey call in COP. Generated some good chatter and some laughs.
