ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter
COT: Remains the 5th core principle
NMM:
The Q is responsible for the outcome of any exercise. YHC had not led a kettlebell workout in some time, and it may have showed.

The final 3 exercises of round 2 were unable to be done by 0600 due to YHC's lack of planning. Thankfully the PAX were gracious and willing to reduce their final intervals to 30 seconds in order to make it to COT in time for 0600.

I suppose it could alternatively be argued that the weinke was enough to take us just past 0600 and, in that moment, learned the application of modify as necessary.

Either way, thanks Bam Bam for the opportunity to lead.

Gratefully.

Then mosey back over to the church parking lot for 15 SSH, 15 windmills, 15 Non-discrpt produce pickers and ended with plank, down/up dog. Mosey back to the beginning for some work.

Two’s company, three isn’t a crowd

WARMUP: Quick mozy followed by arm circles and Moroccan night clubs
THE THANG:
After the warmup, Pax headed over by a light in the parking lot for interval reps. With a timer, we completed 30 seconds on followed by a 10 second break. Each exercise completed twice either with the opposite hand or in the opposite direction. Exercises included:

  1. Slingshots
  2. Halos
  3. Single-leg deadlift
  4. Upright rows
  5. One-arm swings
  6. Side lunges
  7. Thrusters
  8. Rows
  9. Curls
  10. Triceps extension

Pax then formed a line for kettlebell pass throughs, which would have been more impactful with more than three people. (Cubby choose to run instead of kb due to an arm issue)
Once the pass throughs were completed we set the kettlebells in a row and ran to the first pre-placed cone and back. We then carried the bell to the first cone and completed 20 kettlebell merkins. We then ran to the next cone and back, grabbed the bell and advanced to the next cone for 20 calf raises. Rinse and repeat for five cones. Additional exercises (20 reps at each) were squats, shoulder presses and flutters.
Once completed we worked our way back to the start but instead of running to the next cone we always ran back to the first for a little extra mileage. Rinse and repeat until we got back to start.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: May CSAUP, other weekends events
