Don’t need a lot of ground to cover

Leave a comment

Form matters and our space is limited. Let’s get to work.
WARMUP: A short jog with some butt-kickers & side shuffles.
THE THANG: Grab the (2) 60lb sand bags and introduce them to our kettle bells.
One PAX would farmer carry the two sand bags (leaving his bell behind) and travers roughly 40yds total while the other PAX completed an exercise. Everyone got 2rds on the bags while the following exercises were completed.
Thrusters, OH Press (L), OH Press (R), Simbas, Curls, OH Tricep Extensions, Flutters w/ Press, Bent Over Rows, Dead Lifts, Standing Lunge (Left leg in front), Standing Lunge (Right leg in front).
Ditch the bags and overhead carry the bells to the front of the stadium. Form 2 lines facing each other.
Focus on form and identify the man across from you. He was your competition and your accountability.
Perform real squats until one of you take a break then we do 5 Man Makers
Repeat this evolution but doing overhead presses then 5 thrusters when failure occurs.
Very interesting to realize when these are the parameters, you’re apt to work much harder. Nobody wants to quit on someone else.
Shuffle with your bell over to the circle and form 2 columns (formation) facing me. Very reminiscent of the way Santini used to line us up.
20 KB Swings then a 20 second hold with the KB out front.
20 Low Squat pulses (yes, you Redwoods remember these) then a 20 second low squat hold (keep your chest up)
20 Flutters w/ Press and a 20 second Canoe hold
Shuffle up the hill to the maintenance entrance, do some more work.
Down to the gate for more work. Back to COT for more work.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: Indeed. Stays in COT.

One Man in a Webb

Leave a comment

A light warmup was done with SSHs, arm circles, windmills and a few stretchy things. It was about 5:20 am and it’s just me, myself and I. At this point I had a decision to make; do I get back in the car, go to the comfort of my bed, and spiral into being a sad clown for the day. Nope, that is not what the Men of The Fort do. Whether it’s 1 or 100 we get after it.

I moseyed to lower lot past the theater. I guess I’ll this Bearkin Jax Taps.

Starting at one end of the lot, do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and 1 shoulder tap (Right + Left equal 1)
Bear crawl about 10 yards or so then do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, and 2 shoulder taps (Right + Left equal 1)
Repeat until 10 reps of merkins, plank jacks and shoulder taps.

Moseyed to the short hill just past Nana’s for a web hill run.

1:4 Ratio
1 Merkin at the bottom
Run up hill
4 Air Presses
Run down the hill
2 Merkins
Run up the hill
8 Air Presses
Repeat until 10 & 40 reps

Run back to COT for a CDD Webb
1:4 Ratio
1 CDD: 4 Squats
2CDD: 8 Squats
Up to 10:40

– Shared that my parents have been one of the biggest influences in my life. They’ve truly showed me what it means to love your neighbor as yourself.

Lap around the compound (~3/4 mile)

– It’s not our responsibility to judge others and their circumstances. Some folks didn’t have a choice for the life they were born into, others just made a mistake. If you have the capacity to, help others in whatever way you can.

5 rounds, 20 reps each
Merkins, Mountain Climbers (SC), Squats

Lap around the compound (~3/4 mile)

Merkins, Big Boys, and sprints
E.g. 50 merkins, 50, big boys, 500m sprints(5 rounds of ~100m sprints)
