The Tabata is a challenging workout and keeping track of the exercises and sets as the Q takes some concentration. I lost track of a few counts today, but the Pax kept me honest and put out a great effort. It was a perfect, cool, dry morning, and a pleasure to lead the group as always. Having Toto with us was icing on the cake. Well done, gentlemen!

Where’s the Shower Curtain

Leave a comment

Shower Curtain was on Q, but no showed. The PAX stepped up

WARMUP: band camp led

THE THANG: rebound had a cardboard workout in his car. It was very arm heavy. Bells at one end and partners. Cumulative 120 reps of things at the far end. The bell exercises were AMRAP (and very arm focused). The AO isn’t called the Legory.

Band Camp led then for movement between two parking spaces. 10 swings, bear crawl, 10 cleans, bear crawl. Eventually that shifted to 5 man makers, lunge walk with a pass through.

Backdraft led us to the wall.
Step ups
Dips with the bell in the lap
Hip thrusts or big boys

Return to COT via a modified over head carry and indigenous peoples run

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter

COT: yep

Hope Shower Curtain is alright

QvQ Round 2

Leave a comment

WARMUP: River rat led this
THE THANG:

sparky was first. Bunch of stuff with our feet on the wall

BC second: partner up. 6 lit cones. Additive merkins at each cone. Bear crawl the first 3. Lunge walk the last 3. Partner runs a lap

Sparky third: had a series of 19 light poles spread out about a half mile wide. Hit pole 1, then 19, then 2, 18, 3, etc. Each pole had an exercise…. Most men got 1 merkin. 19 squats, then 2 squats.

Band Camp again: run to steepest part of the hill. Brief message about embarrassing moments, but we still have time left. Time left to reverse bear crawl the hill. At the top, partner back up. 12 sandbags at the far side. 1 partner run and throws a bag over their head 5 times. Other partner does 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 squat jumps

COT: was had. Band Camp won votes for difficulty and creativity. Sparky won in use of AO
