Neese’s was almost the death of us

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yes, IW; HW; some yoga.
Introduced the reverse burpee (you go down on your 6, lay on your back, and then return to standing for a jump). Stagecoach busted his wrist and YHC was tired of seeing him modify.
THE THANG:
Found a wall
10 stepups (each leg)
10 derkins
10 bulgarian split squats (each leg)
10 irkins
Found another wall (it was stupid high)
10 stepups (single leg) this was dumb
10 derkins this was also dumb but not as much

found a moderatle parking lot
10 mike tysons
bear crawl
10 curb alberts
crawl bear
10 mike tysons
lunge walk
10 curb alberts
reverse lunge walk
10 mike tysons
burpee broad jump
(the sprinklers came on and YHC didn’t want a complete mutiny)
mosey back to the dry side for
10 curb alberts

Mosey back by the wall and hit it again

A 60lb sandball was at COT
One man did an over the shoulder lift
Everyone else held a squat down and raised up when the ball hit the ground. Return to the held squat for the next guy to do a lift. 15 guys….
Rinse and Repeat with Split Squats and a reverse burpee

NMM:It’s nice to be motivated to workout, but falling in love with the process of acceleration is even better. That can survive a waning motivation. Or maybe it just is motivation itself?

Dealer’s Choice

Leave a comment

Nice and gloomy, misty, cool morning. Just being out in this means you made the choice to NOT let the Jester win.
WARMUP: Slow mosey to the contractors pickup area at Lowe’s, circle up for the following, my standard SWIMS warmup:
– 15 SSH 4ct
– 10 Windmills
– 15 Imperial Walker 4ct
– 10 Moroccan night clubs 4 ct
– 15 Strawberry pickers
Since we were where we needed to be, we went right into….
THE THANG:
Dealer’s Choice
I have had the F3 workout deck in my truck for quite some time, like over a year, and never found the right opportunity to use it. Well, today was the day. The cards are waterproof so I was not worried about them getting wet, just whether I could read the small-ish print or not. HA!

Pick a card, do the exercise, then on to the next. Clubs are core, hearts are cardio, spades are legs, diamonds are upper body. Rep count is based on number/suit on the card 2-10 are their number, jacks are 11, queens are 12, kings are 13, aces are something special. jokers/jester are wild card (I had them as 10 burpees).
We got through the following (larger numbers were OYO, everything else in cadence)
2 bulgarian split squats
2 hand clap merkins
11 plank jacks
100 calf raise (ace of spades)
3 wojo squat
7 LBC
sprint 200 m (modified to 50m out and back, 2 of hearts)
11 dips
10 rosalita
NUR 50m out and back
sprint 300m (modified to 50m out and back, 3 of hearts)
lunge walk 50m out and back
10 oblique crunch per side
90 sec high plank
4 CDD
100 SSH (ace of hearts)
13 merkin
sprint 400m (modified to loop around parking lot)
5 lunge 2 ct
12 monkey humpers’
100 arm circles (50 each direction, ace of diamonds)
7 monkey humpers
3 Chuck Norris merkins
6 wide arm merkins
4 alternating side squat/lunge, each side
10 incline merkins
12 diamond merkins
9 ranger merkins10 butt kickers each leg
12 freddy mercury, 2ct
5 hand release merkins
9 LSS
60 seconds low plank (on forearms)
That put us at 3 minutes to 6, just enough time to run back to COT. Unfortunately no jokers/jesters were pulled.
Mumblechatter was most excellent!! Great job by all
MARY: None

ANNOUNCEMENTS: A LOT going on. Highlighted literally everything that is in the newsletter.

COT: A lot lifted up. Reminded PAX that we are all carrying burdens, and we men tend to suffer in silence, but when it gets too much, do not be afraid to reach out, for someone will definitely step in to help lighten the load.

Thanks Peach Stand for the opportunity to lead.
