Great morning in the Gloom with 20 PAX taking on a fun morning. Arrived early, got the playlist locked, disclaimer out there, and we were well on our way:
Warmup: SSH, Grass Grabbers, Copperhead Squats, DD, 1-lap loop
THE THANG
Started with a new favorite of mine to get the heartrate up: 3 rounds of 10 manmakers, 20 big boys, 30 squats run the parking lot and back.
1-lap loop
Rifle Carry Karaoke / Partner work: One pax rifle carries the coupon around the large parking lot ‘track’ – the other pax does 5 merkins, 5 squats and then runs to catch up to partner. Halfway through we moved the rifle carry to a walking curl.
Last we hit parking lot relay races: 4 pax races, while one pax runs the length of parking lot, other pax cycle through curls, shoulder press, skull crushers, rows.
Finished with some merry.
The preblast them was Tale of Two cities. It was the best of times it was the worst of times. This has felt like the them of my life lately. It has never been harder than it is today with 3 young kids, busy schedule, somebody always on the verge of a breakdown. But on the flipside, its the best time I’ve ever had, being a dad, seeing my kids successes, learn new things, ‘grow up’, its amazing. I love these kids more than anything despite how challenging our days are.
Its a good reminder that there are always ups and downs, whether during a day, week, month, year, no matter what you will have ups and downs. It’s important to remember that when your on top, you better have that hand down to someone, because when you’re down and you reach up, you expect someone’s hand there to help.
Lean on each other HIMS, you will be rewarded in GOLD.
Furdays, out.
