Iron was sharpened at the Forge this am with 8 HIMs.
Two glorious American flags flapped in the breeze. Let’s go!
Warmup – jog 2.5 minutes down hill….a little longer back up the hill. Back to flag area for a little stretch, merkin, scorpion kicks (apparently a westho thing), rosalita, dying cockroach, some zesty *APDs*, etc.
Thang 1: Mosey down to jerkin station at base of hill for a triple, no wait quad check! Two groups of four. Ejercicios were KB swings, KB chest press (it was push press, right NTB?), Jerkins, and runner up the hill to “the stop sign.” A few different interpretations on what stop sign it was, but essentially 2/3 of the way up the hill. A few observations:
- Quad checks take a long time
- If you add a hill, it takes longer
- My forearms are sore from carrying cindys at Teddy KGBs VQ.
Finished quad check with about 10 minutes left and the sweat is pouring. BTTF
Back at the flag, I threw together several rounds KB exercises:
- KB fire bucket. Line up on butts, pass the KBs carefully back and forth a few times.
- DTH inspired circle of doom. “Why dont we circle up so the KB handoff never ends?” So we did that for a bit and did KB push press (5x pass along), KB rows each arm (5x pass along), KB squats, etc
Really enjoyed that last circle rotation. Recommend it to all the Circus Maximus and Old Hundred guys. The different weights and sizes of the KBs adds another level to the exercise.
Numbers/Names
Announcements:
- Bridge Saturday.
- Rock and Roll Kids workout on Sunday 7/27.
- *Update* 7/22 – SoS vs NoS Ultimate Tournament at No Toll. Be ready to roll at 530 am sharp.
- NTB really wants some of the SOS guys to join him at GTE in NC this October. I nominate Wildcat and le Duke. Even Focker would probably do it.
Prayers:
- God is good. Wildcat’s scans look good again. Continued prayers for our HIM.
- Prayers for community healing down in Florida, where accusations of child abuse at a church have come out.
El Heisto will be gone for two weeks (work and then vacaY). I plan to post in Indy next week. Keep up the good work.
