A trio showed up for some pyramid style beatdown. Mosey around parking lot then some COP. Pyramid routine – do 5 exercises: squats, clean and jerks, lawn mowers, ww2s and calf raises. Reps increase 1 ea to 5 ea and back down to 1. Some boat canoes led by Yardsale and some grams to close out. Names, numbers. Surf n Turf took us out.
It’s weird when other people are at the park before us doing what we presume to be workouts, but then again they were probably wondering why we were there so early as well. Then we get a creepy car driving around the lot very slowly and suspiciously enough for us to grab our KB’s and high tail it out of there since the workout had ended. Weird morning at PFP. Anyway, this is what the strangers witnessed as 2 Rise & Grinders emerged from the gloom for some broga/kbs. Mosey around the football field trail. A solid 10 mins of…

The trio linked up this morning to show off how big our balls have gotten. Let’s just say the gains were undeniable. We’ve been putting in work and it shows. All three of us stood there proudly marveling at how far we’ve come. Even the silent lady we pass every day the one who’s never spoken a word of english might’ve let out a soft “Oh my…” as she shuffled by. This is how it all went down…. Warmarama A bunch of OYO stretches and grunts. Thang! 11s Snatches with kettlebell Atomic Merkins Travel with around a 45lb rock? Extra…

Rotate twice 11s – kb swings + tricep extensions Numbers, names, Yardsale took us out.
Did you know there is a tribe in Mexico that runs without shoes? Did you know there is a book about it? As light broke over The Old Hundred, this was the topic of conversation as 10HIMs crushed it with Kettlebells. Kicked things off with a long mosey around the parking lot. As we ignored the cones, not placed by YHC, the PAX carried their KBs to the other parking lot for a change of scenery. The Thang- 10 Min AMRAP, 8 rep sets Thang 1: Bent over rows, curls, squat thrusters. 1.5 min run, 1 min “rest” Al Gore…
Four HIMs posted this morning to sling some iron for Mammoth Balls. A fellow brother mentioned that “only women use kettlebells under 35 pounds.” That comment had three of us briefly questioning our life choices… and our manhood. But we pressed on pride bruised here’s how it went down….. Warmarama All the wives and moms Arm circles Copperhead squats A lot of moaning Imaginary jump rope Thang Grab the cindy’s and kettlebells We made our way to the parking lot and lined up shoulder to shoulder. The format was simple. One PAX called out a kettlebell exercise for the group,…
Five HIMs came together this morning to do some soul searching and to figure out why we were out here sweating like crazy in what felt like 100 degrees, with grass clippings ending up in places they definitely shouldn’t be. But not a single complaint was heard, and we crushed it. Here’s how it all went down… Warmarama Mosey to back of the park Arm circles Chinooks All the wives and moms SSH Copperhead Squats Grab a Cindy and head to that Bermuda Thang! We tackled a workout inspired by Poolboy’s 100th post. The YHC made a few slight tweaks…
