15 pax plus the Q hit heights unknown on a chilly Tuesday morning.  Climb the ladder to get hard.

Warm Up

• Mosey around ASEC for butt kickers, high knees, carioca, Cam Newton’s, mosey to lower lot
• SSH x 20
• Windmills x 10
• Down Dog Shin Slappers x 10
• Arm circles because of course
• Mosey to rock pile and choose your weapon for

Dat Thang

Circuit with 3 stations,

1. mosey down Country Club drive to CCM to the back of the building for 10 squats, 10 star jumps
2. mosey to back lot of ASEC with dead basketball goal for 10 core killers, 10 low flutters x 4count
3. Mosey the long way (whatever that means) to the rock pile for 10 Kingmakers AKA Corndog Pro Tems.  This exercise is a man maker with a curl into an overhead press into a skull crusher.

• Repeato, adding one rep to every exercise each time

Mary called at 0613, but no time once arrived to COT.

COT

Prayers for Heather and her family as they come to grips with her final days, for Brad as he struggles with cancer treatment, and for all those without enough food on their table for Thanksgiving.

Hillbilly next Thursday, sign up to bring food.  Gremlin on January 30, get it on your calendars.  Hip’s farm for an F2 on Thursday from 7-10, check slack for details and bring your weapon of choice.

Moleskin

Solid morning, YHC got 3 rounds and 2.5 miles.  The front runners got 4 rounds and 3.15 or so.  Q devised an exciting new exercise that I’m sure has been done before, but since the Q has not had the experience, the exercise was dubbed a Kingmaker, and renamed a Corndog (Pro Tem) by the pax.  Either way it was tough, so tough in fact, that Hipbone’s cinderblock crumbled to its death after seeing the Q demonstrate.  Despite some confusion on what constitutes “the long way” around ASEC, but the Q’s intended route and the front runner route were pretty much equidistant per a quick google measurement.

Ascend in your lives, that’s the goal.  Descents are inevitable, but keep climbing. It’s harder, but more beneficial and more useful.  The efficient way isn’t always the best way.  Pressure makes diamonds. Stay effin hard.  Every morning, see you brothers in the gloom.  It’s changed my life, and the lives of many around me.

-AYE!
