ALLTHUMBS!!!

Arrived early to pick up Cindy and her friends ( just more Cindys ). After the party favors were loaded in the truck I drove to the band practice lot, needed 25yard spacing, why reinvent the wheel. As I was setting up the workout layout noticed some early arrivals, RUCKERS ( pretty sure this is a cult ). They were off before I could return to COT and wish them a pleasant trip, as the call to conquer unknown terrain hastened their departure.
Cindys were ready and waiting, workout layout complete, and old man stretching completed. LFG!

WARMUP: Disclaimer was disclaimed and we moseyed from COT to the band parking lot. SSHICx25, HBWICx12, CPICx10, MerkinsICx12. Pax moseyed around the workout layout to receive an explanation of the format/flow of the workout and exercises to be completed at each station. Finished at the center station where the PAIN would begin.

BushHolePit. Best if used on or before 08/13/25.

17 men, 3 Ruckers and 14 of The Ungovernable, came to BushHolePit to celebrate National Left-Handers Day. Or just to workout. Whichever.

WARMUP:
Like we needed it warmer out there. But we did do a little moseying, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.
THE THANG:
We went the long way around the school (is there a short way?) stopping for some things along the way. Some Dora, some bear crawls, dips, step-ups, muscle ups, etc. You know what we DIDN’T stop for? Pull-ups? Why? Because the AO got all bougie and walled them off from us peasants. Oh well. I would elaborate on this mornings festivities, but I made no weinke and I am not smart enough to recall all the things.

All you need to know is Birdcage was there and you probably weren’t, so you missed out. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. Love him.

Ok, back to life.
MARY: No chicks.
