Swings, swings, and more swings

Swings, swings, and more swings

9 pax showed up at Calvary at 0600 for another episode of everyone’s favorite Wednesday (gear) workout. Wild Turkey showed up early for jump rope and Unplugged did the same for some yoga to stretch out the back.

The warm up consisted of the usual: 20 SSH and 15 IW.

The main event went like this:

• 20 swings, 8 lawnmower rows per side
• 20 swings, 8 goblet squats (we did 5 for the first round, but decided that wasn’t enough)
• 10 swings, 15 merkins, 5 presses or push presses per side

Repeato for 5 rounds – on round 4, we did all 50 swings, then the rows, squats, merkins, and presses to keep it interesting.

2 x waiter carries (out with your weak side for :30, back with your strong side for :30) with 1:00 rest in between.

Mary: 1:00 each of (i) elbow plank, (ii) hollow body hold, and (iii) glute bridge. :30-1:00 of rest in between exercises.

Time!

Thanks to WT for the takeout.

Announcements:

• Mighty Mite is organizing an SOB/A51 blood drive for late September/early October and is looking for a large indoor space somewhere in the middle of the 2 regions (think Calvary or Stonecrest, not Matthews). Beetlejuice is chasing down the YMCAs and has reached out to Calvary, but if you have any ideas/connections, please connect with Mighty.
• Next week is our last week starting at 0600 as we move back to 0530 to accommodate pax with kids going back to school and teachers/administrators that need to be at school themselves.
• Next week we will be parking one lot over (farther from Anvil) to accommodate the teachers arriving around 0630 and to avoid the goose bathroom where we worked out today. #yum
• Please keep High Tide and his family in your prayers as he lost his uncle over the weekend.

Mumblechatter:

• Thanks to the pax for following my lead this morning. I tried to keep it pretty meat and potatoes and did have to audible a bit to make sure we weren’t resting too much.
• Great numbers again this week. If you’re interested in trying out kettlebells, please join us. Although we’re not sharing bells during the workout, there are usually a few loaners around.
