What a great Saturday morning. I got out to the AO a little early cause I hadn’t been out to WEP in a very long time. The air was thick with fog, it was dark, it was downright scary – the perfect type type of gloom that we love to work with.
Men start showing up about eight minutes before launch, by the time we were ready to go we had a total of 19 PAX ready to get after it . Nomad brought 3 FNG’s from his youth group and they were excited to figure out what was in store for them this morning. I bet they felt differently after words.
Maximus were starting us off today so he gave the long disclaimer for new friends and off we went .
It was a nice quick jog and then circle up to do several exercises that I can’t recall individually – but Maximus pushed us to get nice and warmed up.
the Thang
Partner up
partner 1 pull ups AMRAP while partner 2 runs around the playground perimeter.
Repeat three times
After that we will circle up in the playground dirt and did several of the exercises which included toe touches, LBCs, flutter kicks and chopsticks. Maybe an elbow plank in there as well.
Maximus then turned it over to Royale
Mosey into the grass circled up and picked new partners
Lazy Dora
No running, consists of the following exercises that are rotated between the two partners until you get to the combined number .
100 merkins
10 each while other partner planks
200 Squats
25 each while other partner holds low squat
300 American hammers single count
30 each while partner holds 6 inches
This evolution was terrible so I gave the guys a break after it was done and read from Discipline Equals Freedom, a section called “application of discipline ” from Jocko Willink’s most recent book. I shared his video about the book above. It’s one of my favorite short motivational videos on YouTube!
The next evolution involved a nice little hill for 11’s
Run up the top the hill- do 10 bomb jacks – run back down – one plank jack until you reverse the cycle down to one Bomb Jack and 10 plank jacks.
Next we moseyed halfway around the park on the running track until we came close to the front road and entrance to the park.
We formed two lines and partnered up with the person right across from you in line- sat down and did two minutes each of big boy sit ups many as you can.
finally spent the last two minutes doing as many as you can burpees – real crowd pleaser
COT with FNG naming, Gomer, Ghost Rider and Chop Block.
Announcements prayers and praises
It was an honor to lead,
Royale & Maximus
