“What? I wasn’t listening”

“What? I wasn’t listening”

15 decided to get better at Anvil today, despite the social media concerns about form police.

Brief disclaimer was provided – veteran crew

Fast mosey not far from launch for COP

15 x SSH in cadence

15 x IW in cadence

10 x low slow squats

10 x slow merkins

The Thang

Asked the pax to divide up into groups of 3 – and this is where YHC started to get worried because no one moved.  The slowly the pax figured it out and got into groups of 3.

Then YHC continued with the explanation.

Three stations –

First Station – also known as the timer or the sweat box was the picnic tables near the soccer fields.   10 jump ups, 10 dips and 10 derkins

Second Station – Playground – 5 pull-ups, 5 burpees, 10 donkey kicks using the swings

Third Station – about 30 yards of lunge walks and burpee broad jumps.

And – This is how it worked:

The first pax ran to the hotbox and did the exercises listed above – again acting as the timer.

The second went to the playground and did pull-ups, burpees, and donkey kicks rinse and repeat until relieved.

The third pax went to the parking lot just above the 4^th exit and did lunge walks and burpee broad jumps until relieved.

The first pax, once they completed the first station exercises, ran to the second station to relieve the second pax, and start doing pull-ups, burpees and donkey kicks.

The second pax, then ran down to the 3^rd pax to relieve them and start doing the lunge walks and burpee board jumps.

From here the 3^rd pax runs all the way back to the hot box and it starts over again – and this continued until about 6:05

Then after some confusion, the pax followed YHC and headed back to launch for:

6MOM

25 flutters in cadence

High Plank – approx. 1.5 minutes

AYG to end of parking lot and back

25 dollies in cadence

25 LBCs in cadence

Another 1.5 minutes of high plank

Done

NMM

First off, YHC took the easy road on this one and pulled out an older workout that hasn’t been used at Anvil in at least a year.  It wasn’t very exciting, but it did hurt (at least for YHC).  And all the pax were crushing it today.  ON the run back to the hotbox, YHC noticed Haze was getting close and closer to catching Lorax, until the last one when he blew by him as they passed the playground.

Also, YHC did no form policy thru most of the morning, but Haze still exposed a chink in the armor due to some faulting listening skills and YHC’s form police shows up for a moment – momentary lapse of reason on YHC’s part – won’t let Haze win next time.  But in all seriousness – this was a tough workout, everyone was pushing hard all the way thru it.

Thanks Lorax for the opportunity to lead today and thank men for following YHC thru the gloom.  It was a pleasure.

Thanks Haze for the prayer.
