- Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning. Hope the beatdown was as good for you as it was me. When I got home, my wife looked at me and asked “are you alright?” That’s a sign of a quality beatdown if there ever was one!
- Those KB merkins were rough. The Debry Double Taps at the end were no picnic either…
- Good work out there this morning, men. Way to push hard, especially during the third set.
- Sorry if it was a little choppy. Working the timer on my phone inside a ziplock bag with gloves on wasn’t easy.
- REMINDER: Tradition Work Day 8AM-12PM tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it as I’m on duty tomorrow, but I have plenty of landscaping equipment if someone would like to borrow it for the workday.?.?

I hadn’t been to a KB workout in a while so it was good to get back to one. When I rolled out of the fartsack and saw it felt like 29 degrees outside, I just knew there would be a low turnout. I was surprised to see seven men when I got there. You guys are tough! Thanks Buckwheat!
Trying to see if this work and I guess I missed a really good workout
Sounds like I missed a good workout.
Good beatdown BW- fingers were numb to the core this morning… I wonder if they sell heated kettle bells?
Awesome work posting this morning! It was a cold one.
Which should bring us to start thinking about F3 throughout the colder winter months. Don’t let the cold prevent you from working out. Use it to make you stronger!
Aye. Ask around about appropriate gear to wear when it’s cold. We can help each other.
Yes – it was a great workout. I was surprised when I started driving to Stonebridge and saw rain on my windshield. When I got out of my car though I forgot about the light drizzle as the wind was another unexpected feature of the morning. Wouldn’t have been likely to workout solo! Buckwheat – great job of finding a variety workout – timed kettlebell exercises and getting your phone timer to work in the drizzle, wind and gloves. Yes – Dutch my fingers were getting numb too. Glad I wasn’t the only one with that issue.
