5 PAX indulged Green Thumb in a kettle workout he learned from a friend. Disclaimer provided it would be very lame or really suck.

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Squat Walkers, Good Mornings, Sir Fazios, and mozie around the parking lot.

THE THANG:
Ascending kettle swings and deep breathing
Start with 1 kettle swing, followed by 1 DEEP breath. Then 2 swings and 2 deep breaths. Continue increasing reps until reaching 20 swings and 20 deep breaths. That’s 210 swings in total.

The original sequence called for climbing back down the ladder (20,19,…1), but Q wanted to try a different exercise at this point.

Audible to the following
20 kettle twisting lunges
20 Kettle squats with curls
5 Steel Crosses (see 12/18 backblast)
Farmers carry around island
Repeat this sequence once
