Arrive to 5 guys in the parking lot, wait…here comes Hatchet on 2 wheels for an even 6.
The Warmup & Thang:
Run up the hill stopping at the school for a brief stretch. Partner up with like speed for 3 hill sprints to the top. I stated that you had to beat your partner at least one time and if after going twice you hadn’t beat them yet, perhaps you should take a lead pipe to them like Tonya Harding did to Nancey Kerrigan. Well….apparently J-Wow took that message to heart because in his attempt to avoid an oncoming car – he ran onto the leaf covered sidewalk catching the far lip and taking a nasty spill. Shoulder took the brunt of the impact but his cheek kissed the concrete as well. In typical Hatchet fashion (after allowing J-Wow some recovery time while we did squats) “Bro, in all seriousness I hope you are ok, but I need you for the family photo so can you gut it out for another 50 minutes”. To J-Wow’s credit, he did.
Mosey to the school for modified Grinder. Supines, Wall air presses, and a runner. Did that three times.
Long way to the rockpile for a real grinder. Partners on one end split 300 Merkins and 300 Big Boys while partners at the other end split 300 curls, 300 tricep extensions, and 300 overhead presses. Runner in between.
Finished up with 30 rock presses, crawl bear curb to curb, and 30 air presses. Repeat 3 times.
Watch check, still have a few minutes. In keeping with the theme of doing stuff J-Wow couldn’t do we did 11’s with rocks. 10 press’s and 1 hold down to 1 press and 10 holds.
Back to COT for 5 burpees. Finito.
MOLESKINE:
– Another great showing and story telling day by Hatchet. (Did y’all know he once beat up Ric Flair’s kid?)
– J-Wow gutting out a performance of the ages after taking a big tumble. Dunkin quick to accuse me of holding a lead pipe since I was closest though he was J-Wow’s partner so who really took him out???
– Deep dish coughing from both ends today getting over what I could only assume was a cold mixed with a lose O ring.
– Even with Q juice flowing I couldn’t keep up with Dunkin today. 3 more days Dunkin!!!!! 3 more days.
– Soggy putting in the work on the hill today. Him and Hatchet battling to make sure each of them got to the top first at least once. Nice push today.
– Deep Dish proclaiming it was a quick workout and I have to agree. I watch checked after our second Grinder expecting to see 25 minutes left and I only had 5.
– In all seriousness the J-Wow tumble is an eye opener as to how important headlamps are. I wasn’t wearing one today and neither was J-Wow. Could more light have prevented the fall? Maybe, Maybe not. But I do believed it could have helped spot the edge of the sidewalk. Wear the Photon Shield not just for you, but for your brothers. I will make sure to wear mine more often now.
– Stay safe out there boys. Enjoy the weekend.
