YHC put a feeler out on Slack yesterday and snatched the Q before any of the digital HC’s were posted.  HC’s were made by @Man Down and @Snowsuit, with the additional Slack-popular VSC by @Sandbag.

The SUG & Tweet said it all: How About Another 12 Days of Christmas Theme, Kettlebell style?

The aforementioned PAX, plus @Overdraft, decided to open up Christmas Week with some heavy Mettle.  This beatdown was going to vaguely resemble a 12 Days of Christmas theme…only with no music and no ascending of reps.  Some could even say it was quite similar to my 11×11 KB Beatdown…only a little different.

Disclaimer provided and mosey to the clubhouse and back for…

Side-Straddle Hops, IST, Weed Pickers, Windmill, Mountain Climbers, and Merkins

THE THANG

Coupons obtained and safe social distance utilized in the parking lot by everyone finding their own parking space.

Twelve moves, each with 12 reps, OYO:

• Thrusters
• Upright Rows
• Curls
• Kettlebell Swings
• Skull Crushers
• Figure 8’s
• Chest Press
• Low-Flutters with KB extended
• Single Arms Rows – each arm
• Rifle Carries (back and forth across parking lot three times)
• W with KB Extended

Followed by a mosey to the island and back for repeato.

We successfully completed four complete circuits, which required almost zero down time on the fourth circuit. Impressive work by the PAX!

MOLESKIN:

• Let’s be honest: it doesn’t matter what the exercise is actually called, as long as the demonstration is correct.
• Proper social distancing was easily followed, but a strong reminder was posted by @Poutine yesterday on Slack.
• Congrats to @Snowsuit on his 150th post, meeting his goal for 2020. Aye!
• Prayers included, but not limited to: Fallen Officer Jason Shuping, his family, and all those who protect and serve; Frontline health workers and first responders, who put the health and safety of others first before their own.
• As we open Christmas week, let’s pray people make safe, smart decisions; our decisions don’t only impact our households. A lot of folks are having to make difficult choices to not see family or travel, so please be with them this Holiday.
• Check Slack for @Disaster’s post about Hope Street Food Pantry.  Another opportunity to donate items or funds tomorrow.
• It is always an honor to lead this group.
