Moleskin:  The Metabolic Mixer never disappoints and the return of our blocks to Tectonic presented the perfect opportunity for its return.  YHC beta tested the “Don’t Break” Curl routine and will need to make some adjustments for the next time.  These studs just keep on curling.  We’ll see if we can fix that for the next time.

Moleskin:  Mumble Chatter was at a minimum today as the PAX focused on their form and the amount of sweat droplets being deposited in the Pavilion.  The workout provides another great mix of cardio and strength.  Cold Cut receives the recognition for the most sweat generated.  The PAX believe that if Cold Cut wore a sauna suit, the risk of drowning may be too great to overcome.

Stow Logs

Mary: American Hammers x 25 IC; Flutter Kicks x 25 IC; WWI Sit Ups x 25 On Q; Low Plank – 1.5 Minutes

Moleskin:  Saturday marked the return of Saturday workouts to Tectonic.  YHC felt like it was only fitting to kick things off with some Log PT.  As YHC stated to the PAX prior to selecting their logs, “All Tectonic Logs are Not Created Equal”.  YHC looked for the unfortunate pair that had chosen “The Man Maker”so he could jump in as the third man.  YHC realized about two thirds of the way through that he had misidentified who had selected “The Man Maker” when a set of the PAX was seen rolling their log during the lunge portion.  YHC and the Pax circled back to help the six complete the circuit.   It was great to see the strong numbers and have some new faces at Tectonic.  Coffeeteria at The Charleston Deli afterwards also had a strong showing and the fellowship was welcomed by all.  One of the workers at the deli even commented that they remembered when we use to come there every Saturday.  Strong work men.  Grateful for the opportunity to lead.  Glad to be here.
