"The Angie"

Big guys on rings
Even big guys can do gymnastics on rings, right Jonesy?! In this picture, Jonesy started in an "L" support, then rolled forward into a shoulder stand. Though an extremely basic gymnastic move, it is very challenging - especially when you get upside down and try to hold the shoulder stand without using the cables to guide your feet. If you have a set of rings at your disposal, give it a try, but make sure you're close enough to the ground with padding on the floor to protect your feet, heels and knees in case you fall out of it!

Today's Workout
Run 5k for time.

No, really what happened here is that I had about 7 spotters get me into that position and then they all stepped away just quick enough that Andy could snap that shot before I came tumbling down!

Or... Maybe I did start in a L-support and then roll into the shoulder stand!

I do have 1 theory though. My hip flexors are on fire and have been since I woke up yesterday. Maybe it was all of those L-sits and supports ignited that flame! Either way, I do know that they exist!

Great time guys. Great fun!

My throat is sore. Not in that strep throat kind of way on the inside. But I mean on the outside. LIke the muscles around my throat. How the hell did that happen? Good times!

Every muscle in my neck is sore. It's really weird.

I'm so glad that women's gymnastics doesn't involve rings, though they were sort of fun for an hour or two.

Jonesy did a great shoulder stand, and we were all there to witness it.
