Shouldering the Burden

AO: mistymountain
Q: McAfee
PAX: Skeet, Flash, Transporter, Sanders, Mt. Men x3 + Fly Guy returning from the depths of basketball practice!
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: cold but not horrid

WARMUP: Willy Mays Hays + Deep Squat holds followed by a quick 1/2 mile mosey.

THE THANG: Started off with phase 2 of the Warm-Up, “10” Ultra-Merkins, but each rep consisted of 5 Merkins interspersed with toe taps, spidermans, and hop to standing.

Next we got into the good stuff; PAX took turns helping each other to shoulder the burden (literally) as 2 spotters helped a PAX to set up the appropriate weight for squats, deadlifts, and finally curls, each for reps of 15 (or to failure).

PAX circled through this rotation and performed flutters, American Hammers, J-Los, WW1s, and tons of merkin variations.

Finished off with a quick sprint.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Half Marathon coming up next Thursday 12/14!!

COT: Praying for Rockies’ little daughter who is undergoing surgery today.

Prayed out with an old germanic/norse inspired incantation:

My name is not my own; it is borrowed from my ancestors. I will return it unstained.

My honor is not my own; it is on loan from my descendants. I will give it to them unbroken.

Our blood is not our own; it is a gift to generations yet unborn. We shall carry it with responsibility.
