8, er 10 HIMs braved the monsoon rains to crush some Kettle-Dora, 7s and 11s at Hell’s Bells. Here’s how it went down:
Warm Up
We don’t wanna get those kettlebells wet, so we convene at the shelter and triangle up.
Standard fare of: SSHs, Sir Fazio, Good Mornings, Overhead claps, Hill Billies and Merkins (on YHC’s down AND up)
Thang 1.0
Partner up, size does not matter. Partner 1 does single count L-R step ups, Partner 2 works on:
- 100 curls
- 200 kettlebell swings
- 300 goblet squats
Do a victory lap around the circle in the rain.
Thang 2.0
Time for some 7s. We triangle up, 6 Rock your Bodies and 1 Tricep extension. Continue until the numbers are completely reversed.
There’s still time left? Ok
Thang 2.1
Modified Burpee 11s. 10 Merkins, then to your feet and 1 overhead press. Continue until the numbers are completely reversed.
One more victory lap before…
Mary
YHC calls American Hammers, then we continue PAX choice around the triangle until the clock strikes 6:15

NMS
- Crimson & Sooey were ALMOST late. They were saved by Sooey’s watch.
- Then Crimson & Sooey were late because the Sooey-mobile wouldn’t start after the beatdown. Crimson said if he had been driving it wouldn’t have happened.
- We triangled up under the shelter because there wasn’t really any way to form a circle. It worked.
- A couple HIMs made their first visit to Hell’s Bells, and hope it won’t be their last.
- Frisco got a little more quiet about 2/3 of the way through the morning, including an epic voice crack at the end. He pulled it back together for a strong finish.
- Be a little better today, than you were yesterday.
