July 8th, 2016 By Sugar

7 Men showed up and waited for the Q to arrive, that’s right, running a bit late. In my defense, up until we launched this crazy ‘lift heavy things with handles’ workout, Friday was my sleep-in day so….. At 0531 I come tearing into the lot (in a Honda Element, BTW) in Gump like Wreckless fashion! Plant the flag, grab the Sugar bell, throw a quick apology/disclaimer and my KB-VQ is on!!

To continue the apparent Gump themed start I thought I’d do the proverbial Warm-Gump:
SSH x 20
1 Burpees OYO
Windmills x 15
2 Burpees
Cotton Pickers x 15
3 Burpees (PAX detect a routine and grumble a bit)
Mountain Climbers x 10
4 Burpees
Peter Parkers x 10
5 Burpees

At this point I promise all PAX we will at some point actually lift these things that have been rolling around in our trunks so here we go! (although what they don’t realize is the lifting stuff with handles will be secondary)

* The following is a massacred combo of some a$$ kicking stuff Stoli threw out a few months back when I thought it would be a good idea to got to Mettle…..

The Thang:

Goblet squat/Merkin AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible in 10 min)
Set the timer at 10 Minutes. Goblet Squats x 10, run to Entrance – 10 Merkins. Add 1 rep each round.

Bent Over Rows/Suicides AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible in 10 min)
5 R arm, 5 L Arm and then run to 1st concrete seam and back.
6 R arm, 6 L Arm and then run to 2nd concrete seam and back.
Repeato up to 12 and work your way down.
That’s the way we should have done it and some us ended up doing it that way. Gotta work on my delivery a bit. (may have went off the rails at first)

For whom the bell tolls (plank while passing bell around circle)
CW x 5
Goblet squats
CCW x 5
Sumo squats

Mary:
LBCs x 20 with Bell
Pretzel crunch x 15 with bell on shoulder
Low flutter/Homer to Marge/Rosalita/Low Dolly combo (for far longer than we should have)
Mason Twist with bell (again,for far longer than we should have)
The W with Bell (Hula lead)

Moleskin:
Thanks Men for following my lead today. Thanks to our visiting PAX, hope we didn’t scare you off with our lack of bell experience. If not, come on back anytime!
