Tag: Mammoth Balls

2 Mammoth Ballers emerged from the gloom for a big ball of a time! YHC brought out the competition bell to get doubly wild with a KB routine that had the quads and forearms pleading mercy! Commando saved the day with some hand warmers as YHC must have either the wrong winter gloves or some poor circulation in his fingers(call me chicken fingers(frozen)). Here’s what you sorry fartsackers could’ve witnessed!

Warmarama!

• Mosey to the helipad
• 17 SSHs IC

• 1 KB Tricep Extensions- 12 Reps
• 2 KB Farmer Carry 100 yards – replace final set with counterweight oblique dips.

That’s about all we had time for this gloom. CoT and Commando prayed us out! Prayers for Commandos good friend Tim who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and prayers for our PAX Bam Bam and his family!

Yes, one man triple check is possible, as long as you set reps for yourself during the exercises because the timer never leaves. Shut up Beaver.

1 extra credit HIM emerged early for a pre Mammoth quick 1 mi. Run. As soon as 5:25 struck, I figured I might check the Slacks in case my F3 fasha had sent out a message, sure enough he did and YHC had to start preparing for a solo mission. Here’s what went down. I don’t want to give too much away because I’d like to do it all over with some other HIM’s. Never mind, I’ll share it all, here comes the preblast/backblast!

Grab the 35 pounder and shuffle it to the helipad for Warmarama: Cherry Pickers, SSH, Don Quixotes, Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Squat Walkers, Plank Jacks, Kettlebell Swings, Curls. Walk the KB any way I like to the hill.

1 man Triple Check – 20 crunches w feet on the bench / KB Snowman Routine(5 SA KB swings, 4 Cleans, 3 Snatch to clean, 2 Shoulder Press, 1 Squat Thruster – other arm) / Run up to the batting cages and back.
