It was a muggy Monday morning in the Fort. Q showed up early so that he could set out an aid for later in the workout. He also was really pumped to see and great the faces of this awesome AO. In his head when they were all walking up with their KB in hand and a smile or smirk on their face that in just 45 -50 minutes from then they would not be smiling but gassed from the work they had just put their bodies through. I cant tell if you can read the enthusiasm that I get from Qing but it is on my face as I write up this backblast.

Before I get into writing about the pain we went through I want to give a shout out to Howitzer. He has been an awesome guy to get to know over the past year or so. I wish him and his family good luck in Chucktown. From what I hear there are some awesome AOs down there so good luck. You will be missed hear in the Fort.

So here is how this thang went down.

Disclaimer- (given in detail since we had a FNG with us)

18 men started out with a short mosey around the parking lot when we got back to the bells we circled up and did the warm up. 20 SSHs, 15 IWs, 15 Mountain Climbers, 15 CDDs, 10 Peter parkers, and 10 parker peters.

Pick up your bell and Mosey to the far end of the parking lot.

Partner up and listen up you did not want to miss the great reveal. I so love the board of pain that I made up a KB board of pain. It went like this. Get to 100 reps of each exercise and move on to the next. while partner 1 works partner to runs to end of lot does 5 bomb jacks and runs back keep switching until time runs out get as far down the board as possible.

1. Goblet Squats.
2. Merkin w/ right hand on bell
3. right arm shoulder press
4. right arm curl
5. flutter kicks with the bell
6. KB swings
7. merkin with left hand on bell
8. left arm shoulder press
9. left arm curl
10. diamond merkins with hand on bell
11. Alternating KB lunge
12. KB Rows right side
13. KB tricep extensions

Pick up bells and partners that were on the ground mosey back to COT light stretch for about the 30 secs we had left. The group the got the furthest made it to # 10 I think. I had so much sweat in my eyes I could not focus on all the groups.

We completed name-o-rama and announcements before naming FNG ( he was busy under a tree. Got the name Splash for a reason. Welcome and look forward to seeing you in the gloom)
