The Ballroom Playbill

Leave a comment

The Quad: 4 PAX. Small enough to be an intimate dinner party; strong enough to reshape the concrete.

​The Main Event: Four Corners. Because why just run in a straight line when you can suffer at every cardinal direction? We ran, we reached a corner, we paid the toll in pain, and we repeated.

​The Leg Destroyer: 100 Step-Ups. Pretty sure we collectively climbed a small mountain. Our quads are currently holding a press conference to protest tomorrow's alarm.

​The Remix: A spicy, chaotic blend of other exercises thrown in just to make sure nobody could breathe properly.

​The Verdict: No tuxedos, no disco balls, just four dudes putting in work while the world slept.

​If you missed it, your calves thank you, but your pride shouldn't. See you at the next beatdown!

Persevere because others are counting on you

THE THANG:
Light pole suicides with 5 Big Boys, 10 merkins and 15 Squats at each pole.

Mosey home finished at 47 minutes.

Hot Potato Audible

Leave a comment

Since the guys who wanted to have Murph Mondays didn't show and 3/4th of us can't do pull-ups, we called an audible and did a hot potato Q.
WARMUP: 4 mile run
THE THANG: We all got a cindy or ruck with more weight in it and we each called an exercise. To the best of my uncaffinated and de-oxygenated brain, here is what we did. The counts varied between 15 and 40 for each, but most were 20 or 25

  • OH Press x2
  • Curls x2
  • Plank – 90 seconds
  • Chest Press x2
  • Flutters holding Cindy/Ruck
  • LBCs
  • Big Boys
  • Log Carry (for future reference, put the tall guy in the back not the front)
  • Bent Over Rows
  • Goblet Squats
  • Block Hold with arms out 10 count each pax
  • SSH
  • Merkins

MARY: American Hammers and stretching.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Great work at Bethel and the Convergence. Read your newsletter.
COT: Round Robin Prays and Praise.
