The Man Maker EC was on again and it never disappoints.  Great mix of cardio, grip strength, and pure grit. If YHC’s memory serves, we had 7 take on the challenge.

YHC almost had a heart attack when he saw the massive number of people waiting for the ME.  35 PAX including 1 FNG came out in the gloom. YHC has no idea why the huge numbers, probably the optimism and joy about hearing there would be a new site Q.

Warm-Up: All done in cadence

• SSH x25
• 5 burpees
• Arm Circles x15
• 5 burpees
• WMH x10
• 5 burpees

The Thang:

YHC had asked the PAX to bring all their coupons, and we had a great variety of stuff.  The list below is probably 95% accurate. YHC had everyone pair off and then assigned them a pair of coupons and an exercise.  We circled up around the traffic circle and began the circuit. Honestly, YHC had no idea how this would work out trying to a 17 exercise circuit with 35 PAX, but hopefully everyone felt stronger afterwards.

• Sandbag Burpees (40 lb)
• Kettlebell Swings (45 lb KB)
• Goblet Squats (35 lb KB)
• Bucket Carry (Timer)
• Deadlift (80 lb & 60 lb sandbags)
• Thrusters (60 lb sandbags)
• 8 Count Body Builders (body weight)
• Lawnmowers (45 lb KBs)
• Flutter Kicks (Assorted KBs)
• Bucket Carry (Timer)
• Merkins (20 lb weighted vest)
• Overhead Press (35 lb KBs)
• Curls (30 lb rucks)
• Lawnmowers (45 lb dumbbells)
• Upright rows (30 lb rucks)
• Jump Squats (body weight)
• Kettlebell swing 2 (45 lb KBs)

After we completed the circuit YHC had everyone pair off with someone near their weight.  One partner buddy carries their partner to the barricade, and then they jog back together.  Flapjack.

Mary:

• Heels to Heaven x20
• Hello Dolly x20

COT:

• The torch is officially passed to Loonie.  Well deserved
• Welcome Mike Teis a.k.a Glass Joe.  With a name like that you knew it was going to be a Mike Tyson reference.
