With the VSF planted, 16 grizzly Pax mustered on this crisp fall August morning to take on the pain from Heavy Metal and Friends.  Disclaimer: we are not professionals, and if you feel you are doing something that is not safe to yourself or others, you should stop. i.e., follow the “reasonable man” rule – it seemed to pass with the lawyers, so let’s go.

WARM-UP

  • Follow Money Hose around the park, and circle up for:
  • SSH x 25
  • Good Mornings x 15
  • Mericans x 20
  • Mountain Climbers x 20

THE THANG

Pax team up in pairs and then divide into two groups to tackle the following circuits, with Partner 1 working while Partner 2 conducts Mary of choice (except at noted stations):

Circuit #1:

  • Mama Junk Hop Complex x 2 (2 sledge hits, jump up, in, up, and out of Mama Junk, 2 hits, jump sequence back, 2 more hits)
  • Jack Webb x 7 (both partners working)
  • Sled push x 2 (w/ 45 lb. plate)
  • Dead-hang pull-ups x AMRAP with Chin-ups AMRAP kicker (both partners working)
  • Zercher squats x 10
  • Half lap around park

Circuit #2:

  • Curtis P x 5 (hang clean, lunge, lunge, push press = 1 rep)
  • Shoulder-to-shoulder x 15 with El Jefe or 55 lb. kettlebell (both partners working)
  • Scotty Bobs x 10 (i.e., Merican, single-arm row combo)
  • Heavy bag carry/pull across park
  • Gun show x 20
  • Half lap around park

Pax completed ~2 cycles through each circuit.  Mary credited for time already served.

COT

  • Good work by the Pax today — the weather definitely helped the energy level, but this was a heavy workout.  Way to power through.
  • Last day to order ridiculously small, form-fitting F3 Raleigh shirts is the 18th.  You can get them in any color you want, as long as it’s badass black. Buy them here: http://f3.mudgear.com/F3-RALEIGH-Under-Armour-Short-Sleeve_p_117.html
  • Prayers are with Flatline’s friend in need of physical therapy – if interested in helping, please see Flatline.
