Searching for a dry spot …

.. and none were found.  14 men dared the sky to open up for a third day in a row and swung some bells this morning.  All were veterans so the disclaimer was light.  Here it goes:

The Thang:

Run to the rock and back, 20 SSH, Run to the rock and back, 20 IW, 20 swings OYO.  Once everyone was winded we discussed the finer points of working on the field.  But since the field resembled a large swimming pool filled with grass and mud YHC called an audible and moved us over to the rock.  The men circled up and the madness began.

First and second set:  20 two handed swings, 20 High Pulls, 10 Snatches – 5 per side

Between sets, Line up to lunge walk to the ramp by the school entrance, plank up for the 6 and mosey back. Rinse and repeat for the second set.

Third and fourth set: 20 two handed swings, 10 Clean & Press – 5 per side, 20 Goblet Squats

Between sets: Duck walk to the ramp by the school entrance, plank up for the 6 and mosey back. Rinse and repeat for the fourth set.

Fifth and sixth set: One handed swings – 10 each side, 10 Bicep Curls, 10 Tricep Extensions, Lawn Mowers – 10 reps each side, 20 Good Mornings

Move bell to lockout position on left side walk to the ramp again.  This time 10 merkins IC.

Move bell to lockout position on right side walk to the parking lot entrance,  10 merkins IC.

Move to the cars for some Mary:

Leuganis x 10 IC, Flutter press IC, Russian twist IC, Bell lean IC, and finally some pax choice for a little improv.

The moleskine:

Great effort today by all the pax.  The early runners just made it back to the parking lot for 5:30,  Apparently, Fletch had to go find them all and get them back.  Fireman Ed has been doing double workouts, who knew 3:00 AM was good time to hit the gym?  Apparently it’s just him and some guy in a trench coat.  No one asked any questions.

Great to see Caddie making the regular rounds.  He was an FNG at Joust only a few weeks ago but has picked up kettlebells with little trouble.  Keep at it brother!

Finally, thank to Harley for the chance to lead.  Workouts are challenging enough, but leading them is a new level of challenge for YHC.  I say BRING IT ON!!

Announcements:

YHC had the take-out
