Nine HIMs joined YHC for a muggy day of tossing iron.  The day was saved by the fact that some of the greatest music ever recorded was being blasting out and it made the KB class even that much better!

THE THANG: A Tabata KB beatdown. Three rounds of four exercises with a repeat of the exercises in each round and a run to the end of the far end of the parking lot after the 2nd set. The timer for each exercise was 50 seconds on the exercise with a 10 second rest. My watch read 05:30 and off we ran from the picnic shelter to the far end of the parking lot and back. And then:

Round 1
Sumo Squat
Crossover Merkins
Sit and Press
American Hammer w/iron
Run

Round 2
Concentration Curls
Reverse Kettlebell Lunge
Overhead Tricep Extension
Pullover Sit-up w/iron
Run

Round 3
Deadlifts
Crossover Burpees
Lawnmowers
LCBs w/iron
Run

MARY:
Low Flutters w/iron x 10 (IC)
American Hammer w/iron x 15 (IC)
Box Cutters w/iron x 20 (IC)

• Prayers for Wexler and his family as they mourn the loss of his brother and for Smokey as his journey to Iceland and for Othello for his driver across this great nation.
• Another humid day. Great effort by all on a very thick and heavy morning. Everyone was pushing themselves hard.  Tough, tough workout in this weather.
• Kudos to Hacksaw for the pre-ruck! Note to self for Hacksaw, remember to bring the rucking gear, it helps! Been there, done that!
• Kudos to Clueless, TBone and Wexler for the pre-run. Glad you could join us.  Anyone else notice that even though these gentlemen hustled a run in before the workout, they were leading the way in the run after we completed each set. The vigors of youth stand out!!
• Thanks to Othello for calling the music selection for today! He called at the workout at The Ridge yesterday. I had in mind another selection, but you can never go wrong with “classic” rock. In my day, we called that current hits!
