14 and a cousin Eddie decided to see how humid it would be in the gloom and the humidity did not disappoint.

Jog, butt kickers, high knees, and soldier walks with a short mosey to upper lot for SSH’s x 20 IC, slow cotton pickers x 15 IC, and forward/reverse arm circles.  Count off by 3’s and YHC grouped up each 3 for a team.

The THANG:

One teammate starts at station 1 with rock and one at station 2  completing the exercises below. The teammate not at a station is the timer and bunny hops from station 1 to station 2 and takes over their exercises and that pax becomes new timer and lunge walks to station 1.  Complete reps below as team before moving to next exercise.

Station 1:  rock skull crushers x 200, rock curls x 400, Freddy merks x 600 SC

Station 2: burpees x 100, merkins x 300, LBC’s x 500

If team completed above exercises decrease station 1 by 100 and station 2 by 50 reps.

Mary called at 0610…QIC called on other pax to lead Mary and BCR chose Kannonballs x 15, Private Ryan for KGB’s x 12 IC, and Homeland for Dying Cockroaches x 15 IC…

Prayers/Announcements: Prayers for BCR’s wife’s 2 grandmothers who are dealing with health concerns, praise for Homeland’s uncle who continues to improve and be with traveling pax.

Moleskin: some big grumblings out of the gate with instructions for the THANG but QIC pretty much explained it as clear as mud so not sure what the issue was. Pax were instructed to choose respectable rocks but some chose baby rocks and others mammoth rocks…probably due to lack of selection.  Pax with mammoth rocks paid dearly on skull crushers and curls. I too, am in favor of cinder blocks to prevent this in future.  Heard the F word multiple times from our Cousin Eddie pax, Stretch, about the difficulty of the workout…probably cause he a weak Buckeye, but nevertheless he made it through.  Other than that most pax beatdown with minimal chatter and tons of sweat angels. No sign of El Ab…early post at Common Ground or Frosty as Monday’s WOD must’ve been tough.

Till next time,

Fire Chicken
