11 men braved the low temperature with the goal of fine tuning their physique for the upcoming big weekend with the Ms (Valentine’s Day is on Sunday, fellas).  The workout went a little something like this.

Mosey around church

Disclaimer (at Jelly’s request) — thought it was understood that I was not a professional

20 x SSH

15 x IST

10 x Windmills (Dingo’s favorites)

5 x Burpees OYO

Mosey to Daycare

Partner Up (size doesn’t matter, just ask Dingo’s wife) — You are probably saying “Did he just reference the same jab that that he said at the workout?”.  Yep, sure did.  Figured it was worth repeating.

Round 1

Partner 1 runs down to dumpster and back while Partner 2 does Air Squats (AMRAP)

Round 2

Partner 1 runs down to dumpster and back while Partner 2 does Merkins (AMRAP)

Round 3

Partner 1 runs down to dumpster and back while Partner 2 does LBCs (AMRAP)

5 Burpees OYO

Mosey to business park

Weave in and out between parking spaces

5 Burpees OYO

Round 1

Split into two groups — run around office building and enter alley — 10 muscle ups when entering, 15 dips and 10 muscle ups when exiting

Repeato

Weave in and out between parking spaces….again!

5 Burpees OYO

Indian Run back toward church

Stop at fence for a little derkin ladder action — 8 bottom rail, 6 middle and 4 top, then back down 6 middle and 8 (or 5 if you are the Q and nearly did a face plant onto the sidewalk)

Resume Indian Run to church

do some LBCs at  back corner and then 5 burpees OYO

Cadillac-a-choo-choo to other end of the parking lot

Sprints

Round 1 — on your six with feet toward other end.  Getting up without using your arms, sprint to other side (Side note — we did this with professional commentary from Dingo who chose to supervise the first round)

Repeato x 3

Mary

5 Burpees OYO <– not technically a Mary exercise, but a good ending to a strong workout

LBCs x 20

Low Flutter x 25

Moleskin

• Tradition on Tap tonight at Carolina Ale House at 7pm
• Book study (Chapter 6) tomorrow with workout at 5:15?  A real life professor has volunteered his time to lead the group
• I enjoyed it immensely this morning and hope everyone else got a good workout in.  My voice may not be the loudest and I may sound like a 13 year old boy going through puberty at times, but I am proud to have had the opportunity this morning to lead this great group of men.
• Did anyone else see ONJ dart for his car after the workout?  I have a few theories as to why…
  1. ONJ thought the workout was too easy and needed more to feel fulfilled
  2. Feeling invigorated, he wanted to get home as quickly as he could to put his new found energy to use, or
  3. As we’ve all said to our kids, “Everybody poops”
