YHC was reminiscing a bit with some of the PAX who were around for the launch of the AO known as Hell’s Bells. Back in the day when this site was just barely beyond a twinkle in the eyes of Earhart & Monkey Nut, there were times when the site Qs posted only to do a 2 man workout. Back in the glory days when the gates at Apex Nature Park always opened well before 0530. Today the parking lot got busy quickly, with a whole slew of PAX there early to get in some EC pull-ups prior to the Main Event.
As 0530 arrived, there were a total of 24 including YHC gathered around the flag. Including a clown car Cary contingent. No FNGs, F3 Mission and mini-disclaimer given. First exercise, Pledge of Allegiance.
Warm Up
Mosey around the parking lot in a foreshadowing of things to come. Circle up in front of the church entrance and Frisco shows up.
- SSHs
- Bring Frisco to the center of the circle to suck his thumb while everyone else completes 10 burpees OYO
- Sir Fazio forward and back
- Bring Crimson into the center to lead the PAX in Good Mornings
- Plank Jacks
- CF Merkins
The Thang
Pick a bell, any bell. Complete:
- 10 Burpee jump overs
- 20 Squat thrusters
- 25 Curls
- 30 Kettlebell swings
- Run the pickle – stopping by the pullup bars for one set AMRAP (max 10)
- Rinse and repeat. And repeat. And repeat.
Mary
American Hammers, LBCs, Freddie Mercs, all with the bell and ending in an odd number count to keep the PAX guessing. Have a nice day.
COT
2 Hates, a buncha Respects, and a Kitty among the 25 total.
Remember the Mule in Raleigh as well as Orphan leading a team to Burgaw on March 21. Launch of F3 Whetstone program in Carpex. Praises for our brother Ausfarht making it out again today. YHC took us out.
NMS
- This week’s workout brought to you by 2019 Ironpax week 3. I added the recovery mosey, and you’re welcome.
- The fact there are 25 guys posting at Hell’s Bells is AMAZING. Problematic, but a good problem to have.
- Tclaps for the site Qs here for leading the charge to make sure we have enough bells and coupons for everyone.
- Speaking of Tclaps – Camp Bros. coffee is ON POINT!
- Today’s playlist was left over from last week’s Day Before Valentine’s Day workout. I didn’t get to play nearly all of it, so that’s why it showed up today. Love is still in the air.
- Every day, each of us gets to decide. How much effort do I want to give? How hard do I push? Am I going to stick with the same routine, or will I disrupt that routine in order to get better? The PAX today got to decide – how hard do I push this workout? How many pull-ups am I going to do? Will I get to know one of my brothers a little better along the way? Do I see anyone who needs an assist? Take advantage of the opportunities you have to ACCELERATE!
- MIAGD!!!
