We had a good turn out today with (5) Hims ready for a PL beatdown. I always feel that the core does not receive enough focus, therefore a core day is always necessary. Some of you may not be a passionate as I am. We split from the Gashouse  group and make our way to the corner of the parking lot. I let them know to bring their kettles because we will us them. 

For this round we work for 50 seconds and use 10 seconds to transition to the next exercise. We get started on our 6ix with ABC’s. For those of you that don’t know, that’s using both your legs to spell out the alphabet while your legs are few feet in the air. I have never been able to complete the alphabet in 50 seconds. Some have asked if it’s lower, upper or cursive. It’s you against you is what I say. I use all caps. Then we move to Freddy Mercury, LBC’s, rev-LBC’s, and CDD’s. Through out this whole set, I keep getting the side eye from Clavin and an accessional question as to when we are going to use our kettle 🙄. I must have touched a soft spot with him 😂. Rinse & Repeat 

Lets rifle carry around the parking lot.

Next round: flutters, heels to Heaven, American hammers, starfish and plank jacks. And more side eye from Clavin😂.  Rinse & Repeat.

Lets rifle carry around the parking lot.

Now lets mosey down the trail with our kettle, stop at the 1st set of benches and let’s do step ups for 1 minute. Continue on to march across the bridge to the up hill. Bear crawl up the hill. Stop at the benches and do 20 incline Merkins. We did 20 squats then lunged slowly down the hill to retrieve our kettles. Curl our kettles back up the hill. Once we are back at our spot, we go in calf raises inner and outer.  

Last set was 11’s with squats and merkins.

Good work men!

Prayers for Turtleman 🙏, those spending Thanksgiving by themselves, the Israel conflict, Ukraine, and those prayers I missed.
