Lots of great options on Wednesday morning, but for the non kettle-bell crowd, only one choice for those men more focused on improving themselves versus the catty drama that exists between Ball Bearings and Urban Jungle.

We didn’t have kettle bells, so we improvised.  9 PAX showed up and here’s what we did:

PAX #pottybreak in the mall (who would’ve thought it was open at 530?) delayed us by a minute or two, so circle up for good mornings x 15, #pooper returns, follow me to brick pile.  Grab 2 pavers, run up to top deck between Flemings and Belk’s, circle up for #wickedwarmup.

SSH w/ brick x 25, windmills w/ bricks x 20, 1-legged burpee w/ bricks right leg x 10 OYO, imperial walker x 20, walk out x 10 OYO, 1-legged burpee w/ bricks left leg x 10 OYO, good mornings w/ brick x 20, squat press w/ bricks x 20, another SSH w/ bricks x 20.

Run down between Fleming’s/M-S to lower deck.  Line up horizontally at end of parking spot lines for:

Merkins w/ brick row x 20, plank walk right one parking space, nipplers x 20, plank walk right one space, plank hold with right arm high, regular, then left arm, plank walk right one parking space, wide grip merkins on bricks x 10, plank walk left, nipplers x 10, plank walk left, repeat plank set, recover.

To low walls for single leg squat left leg w/ bricks x 15, dips x 30, single leg squat right leg w/ bricks x 15.

Up stairs to Belk’s men’s store wall.  People’s chair while YHC explains Azul’s ridiculous balls to wall exercise indian “run”.  Man at end completes 10 dying cockroaches x 10 while all PAX in B2W position, 1st man run to end of line when done.  Sequential progression for 2 rounds each.  Then move to squat press x 10 while PAX in people’s chair position x 2 reps per PAX.  That’s a long wall.  It was hard.

Run back down to brick pile, circle up for hammer x 25 w/ 2 bricks, flutter kick x 30, heels to heaven x 25.  #done

Happy belated 40th Deliverance, stair run 9/11 at Crabtree, McGruber’s doing good stuff at Haven House, stay tuned, Mr. B’s grandmother’s passing at 95, CDC’s (I think) nephew w/ broken arm/surgery in 2 places.

#honor and #pleasure, men.
